08:59 AM ET 10.31 | Major League Baseball was a little too eager on Tuesday morning and ended up leaking the new logo and baseball cap for the Houston Astros next season. The MLB quickly realized their error and took to Twitter to issue a statement. Who was to blame for the logo leak? Well, the MLB decided to blame Superstorm Sandy. The official MLB Twitter account wrote: "MLB Advanced Media, in advance of superstorm Sandy, inadvertently posted photos of players in their new uniforms on Astros.com bio pages." As you would expect, the Astros released a statement about their leaked logo ??? or as they called it, "their new identity." Here is what the Astros had to say:

should david wright stay in the mets organization? should mariano rivera retire for good??
should the yankees give a extenssion to rafael soriano and fold to his demands?? remember the closers shouldn't get long term contracts, and if they DO, then the deal should be for much less money invested in such deal!!!!!

should the league have voted for a gold glove in trout's favor?? should the league ignored every acomplished goal achieved by mike trout?? should miguel cabrera get a gold glove as well the MVP AWARD???

October 31, 2012  03:31 PM ET

sometimes its not how you started but how you finish,,,,,,, you could had have the best play as a deffender but unable to achieve the top goal which it was the championship,,,

October 31, 2012  03:33 PM ET

should mike trout had started the season just as everybody started, would that be an extra advantage for the rookie? i mean more hits, more homeruns, more great plays at the OF,,,, don't you think???

October 31, 2012  03:34 PM ET

the delay in bring in trout to the majors hurt the player the most,,,,

Evidently what the Astros had to say wasn't important enough to be included in the excerpt. If anyone cares, here it is:

This morning, a portion of the Astros??? future brand went live on the Astros??? official website, which is managed by Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM). MLBAM has since corrected the error. Fortunately, only a small portion of the Astros??? new identity was posted on the site as a result of the error. The Astros??? entire new identity will be revealed at the club???s official Launch Party on Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. at Minute Maid Park.???

Actually, not including this blurb may have been a good call by the FN Interns.

should david wright decline the mets option and unstead elected to be a free agent, could this mean a move to the yankees organization???

October 31, 2012  03:39 PM ET

what type of a impact would create at the yankees if soriano DO sign with the orioles example??

October 31, 2012  03:40 PM ET

i just hope the yankees had learned their mistakes from alex rodriguez extension in his contract!!!
