    I'm sure the Chronicle will have a story on it in the next couple of hours...

    Nothing on any of the news sites.

    WTH could that be if it isn't collapsed?

    MMP collapsed in shock to see the Astros moving in the right direction.

    In all seriousness, I'm guessing there is some other explanation.

    My desk is on the east-facing side of the building, so I'm at a pretty sharp viewing angle, but there appears to be a large crane next to MMP right now. It must just be some sort of maintenance work...?

    Just as I thought. Something that big would have been news everywhere. I am very sure they are doing work on it.

    My buddy just called the front office (he's a nut like that) and apparently they are just fixing something on that portion of the roof.

    Crazy picture though.

    It's finally happened. The Astros are sucking so bad they are literally becoming a black hole and imploding MMP.

    Yeah, and it's a good time to do it since it's a day off.

    They'd have to have actually been playing well for there to be a collapse. This year they just suck.
