Jeebus, it's like the media is already building a Tomb of the Unknown Franchise for 2012. The Sporting News had this to say about the Astros:
The rebuilding could continue this offseason if the Astros can find a new GM to coax someone into taking first baseman Carlos Lee and/or lefthander Wandy Rodriguez off the books.
About the best Astros fans can hope for is that the team lands some prospects who can spark their interest enough to not completely forget about this team.
