    A good point brought up here...well first I disagree about his bias...if Selig was biased, he very much would want to have the games in Mil to give the Cubs the best chance of winning (outside of Wrigley) and to put some distance between the Brewers and at least one of the teams behind them.

    But the good point here is, yes, Drayton may have been at fault for being so stubborn in wanting to play the games in Houston, but MLB should have stepped in long before the storm hit (but when it was clear it was heading to Houston) and found another venue...that probably would have allowed them more options (or at least more time).

    Playoffs are far from over...the Brewers have to face the Cubs six times and while the Phillies have an easy schedule, so do the Astros...anything can still happen.

    Phillies are making the playoffs, they have it easy. Stros are already choking

    After winning 14 of 15 then losing 2 games under these conditions hardly qualifies as choking. That is as unreasonable as a Bud Selig decision.

    I don't think the playoff run is over yet, even with today's loss we are still only 2.5 games out.

    THe brewers are going to continue to choke, I think, so thats leaves the phils and the mets.

    I think the phillies are going to catch the mets and overtake them, the astros play nobodies the rest of the way while the mets have a 4-game series against the cubs coming up soon.

    So, lets think about this guys, while these last two days were horrible, we are still not out of it and we have Roy going tomorrow.

    Better days lie ahead!

    Having to root for the Cubs against the Brewers, Cardinals, and Mets is going to be brutal.

    There you are. You got called out on the hangout. Why didn't you defend yourself?
