Astros to Retire: ?We always said we?d quit when baseball stopped being fun?

The franchise considered shutting down operations immediately, but with the 2014 schedule already completed, there was pressure from MLB that they play out one more season. The final campaign also gives teams and fans across the league to say goodbye to the franchise that has existed since 1962 when it came into the majors as the Houston Colt .45s.

?What can you say? This is a sad day for our franchise,? said the St. Louis Cardinals. ?We have so many good memories thanks to the Houston Astros. We?ll truly miss them.?

  I looked on Twitter and he hasn’t commented yet. His handle is Jonathan French if you’re interested.

  I’m sure there is a certain greed to JA. So paying himself, mom and brother 10’s of millions of dollars is probably in the budget. So he can sleep at night thinking the orioles are not turning much of a profit.

  Then maybe you shouldn’t be on here telling secrets and potentially getting the kid in trouble.

  There’s profit, and there’s profit. Most baseball teams make a small profit. The Orioles are making an extremely large profit. And in the short term, that’s fine. It’s the byproduct of going through a rebuilding and having a lot of good key players who are in pre-Arb or early Arb years. But we will soon be entering a different phase and the owner shouldn’t pretend that the team doesn’t have money to spend.
