The basic 2012 schedule has been released, and the Astros will again open the season at home - against the Rockies and Braves. The April 10, 2012 game against Atlanta will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the franchise's first game.
Interleague series will come against the Rangers (derp), White Sox, Royals, and Indians.
The Phillies come get swept in Houston from September 13-16, and MLB has given the Astros the screw-gee by scheduling road series on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Thanks, Bud.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
