Ok, I have had this day marked on my calendar since the schedules were released and is partly some of the reason why I bought the Sunday Ticket Package the Astros offered. We all know who will be in town, the ever infamous Carlos the money sucking Beltran. I will be sitting in my outfield deck seat in sect 254, row 6, seat 11 with my boy right next to me. I can't wait. I was thinking of making a sign or even yelling (nice) stuff out since I have a direct line to centerfield. I was wondering who else is going, what day they are going (i'm going Sunday, obviously), and where they are sitting.

We should sell MMP out and boo the hell out of him. Who's with me????

I'll be there Sunday afternoon as well. I think that's Oswalt's day to start. Missed the Rocket by one day. Oh well, here's hoping Beltran doesn't find his stroke this weekend at his "old" stomping grounds.

I'll be there Saturday and i'll be booing Beltran every chance I get. Had tix for Thursday too but I won't be able to go cause of work. Atmosphere should be electric at MMP.

I will be there Saturday for sure, hopefully Friday if I can get off of work in time.

I'm not going to boo Beltran. I am going to sit quietly when he comes to bat or does anything. However, I will give Willy Taveras a standing ovation for each at-bat and every play he makes in the field (assuming it isn't an error).

I still have my Beltran t-shirt from last year, I can do some work with that thing.

I might go Friday, my uncle has tickets for every friday home game, but he's been sick lately and I'm sure he'd pass them on to me and my brother if he doesn't go. There's an e-saver game as well and that might be the other option.

what is the matchups for all the games?

I don't want to sit through a ten hour offensive game. I want to see Pedro, or any of or three do a quickie.

Will be there Saturday!! We do honest need some chants going. It's so hard to start anything on my own and I'm a little tired of MMP being at its loudest during the Hummer race....

I'll be going Sunday. My friends and I have talked about going to the Conoco pump to be closer to Beltran (he would hear our chants for sure).

If I'm not there Thursday for dollar dog, I'll definately be there on Friday. Hopefully I'll have at least five others with me. Is Home Plate Bar and Grill near MMP? I really want one of those T's.

Dammit, I just moved to Boston a couple weeks ago. I would have loved to be there...I hope the stadium is rocking with BOO's. I'd also like to see a few batteries make it out into centerfield.

Since I cant be there, the rest of you need to take care of business.

Stay classy, Houston.

Head to Conoco Pump area. Pull large wad of xeroxed Monopoly money (preferably with the ahole's picture on it) out of pocket. Stealthily shower CF with said Monopoly money. Walk away.

I've made and ordered a few custom "Carlos Beltran Sucks" T-shirts just to wear it to Saturday's game! Go ASTROS!

or would that be a little too distasteful? What do u guys think?

Why the hate on Beltran? Its all business, you tend to forget. If someone gave more money to do the exact same job, but you had to switch cities, wouldn't you?

I'll be enjoying my seats behind home plate. I guess they sell Haterade in the upper decks.

hmm, on second thought, I should of traded my seats behind home plate for seats in the upper decks.

a bit easier to throw car batteries from the conoco pump than over a screen behind home plate

ahh well I'll figure out something.

Not really the idea that he took the better offer, but it's the way he does it. To string a team along for the sake of getting a better offer from someone else. But all's fair. He basically set himself up to be disliked by both cities. All in all, when he finished his Mets career with a .268 BA with moderate power and SBs (don't know what happened there), and have each at bat being closely examined.

Well, it's a matter of opinions. I'm still going to wear the shirt I designed with 2 other people. If you're at the Conoco gas pump Saturday, feel free to say hi! It's a white shirt with the words "Carlos Beltran Sucks" with the words "Go ASTROS!!" at the bottom. It's money well spent!

I cant wait for this series. I hope they still have some of those t-shirts left on saturday. This ride is unbeleivable... I used to sit and think to myself that this could be a long a summer watching our astros but once again they are rolling. This team is playing so well right now that I hope they continue. There is a lot of season left but all we need to do is make it to the postseason. We are built for success in the postseason. Three aces and a hammer in the bullpen. Especially now that all of our post season demons are gone. We know how to win playoff games that in the past we would find ways to lose. Lets do it.

How are they with taking signs into MMP ? Im going Saturday and I have a sign that says " Willy T. > Carlos B. = Owned !!!! " Will they take offense to something like this ?

Saturday in section 428... can't wait. Hopefully we have the same energy in the building that we did for the first few games Pippen came back to Houston as a Blazer...

Hey man, just make sure you wear a different shirt ontop of it when you walk through the gates (entrance) then take that one off when in the park.

Sometimes, depending on their mood IMO, the door people won't let you wear shirts like that inside.

AHHH! This was my 11,000th post! :eek:.

if that's not bad enough, what about wandy rodriguez v. kris benson?

i'll be happy with a split.

wow seriously? Well, thanks for the tip. It'll be hot in Houston weather, but the shirt is well worth it considering the time and money I spent customizing that shirt. I went through it a few times only to have the price be somewhere around 112 bucks for 3 shirts... but found a cheaper place. Either way, I haven't gotten to meet any Astros fans in the BBS, so feel free to come say hi if you're at MMP Saturday. I'll try my best to be at the Conoco Gas station early to get a nice standing spot.

We can win the series, but beating Pedro is a whole nother story in itself. I would hate to see him ruin our great run. And Beltran always gets at least 1 jack when he pitches. :eek:
