    The media portrays Minute Maid as Coors field south. It’s not even a hitters park, it’s neutral skewing towards the pitcher.

    Obviously there are opportunities for cheap home runs but ask Lance Berkman about how many long balls he lost in center field.

    I can't wait for that Dodger lineup to flail over his curveball.

    They are a significantly different team on the road offensively.

    It will be under 55 threshold for Saturday and Sunday. Roof will be closed every World Series Game it looks like.

    when i first read this, I thought it was your high brow humor. then after the video, it turns out he did. Same with the burning hills around the stadium. there really was a fire. thought it was a clever metaphor. what a crazy night.

    Can we please get an MMP employee to go sabotage the retracting mechanism to insure the roof stays closed all weekend?

    People can call it Roofgate all they want, but it's absolutely ridiculous that the HOME team does not have final say over how they want their stadium setup. Other than safety concerns, MLB should be a neutral party in matters like this.

    The very first report I read said the fan had a beef with the Dodgers security guard in the bullpen. I was thinking that sounded strange. Surely, he was wanting to fight an Astros bullpen player or coach.

    Kids, this is why you don't want to drink so much.

    On the radio they said the guy had a blunt and was asked to put it out, so he decided to jump into the bullpen. Don't think I've ever been that high.

    No. Technical foul. the 2nd yellow gets an ejection and banned from the next match.

    Although he loves the spotlight, I don’t expect a 15 minute stage performance from him. He may throw the ball dragging two tires behind him, but he’s a football player, so likely no backstory, plot, and commentary.

    What was poor sportsmanship about it? He was mad about not making the catch.

    He was a pretty decent player at GA Tech, just never really improved past being a rotational player.
