This is stupid. MLB (baseball) says to Astros: Open the roof. The roof will make it colder than it normally should be (remember the stros are not used to october weather), and decrease the home field advantage. Yet in Chicago it was near freezing and nothing was done (or could be done) to help out our warm-weather team. Says teh VP of MLB Solomon

"It's a beautiful day," Solomon said. "This is not unprecedented. It happened in 2001 down in Arizona. The roof was open all four games there."

Yet by late innings, the temp will be in the mid 50s or lower. First, why punish the fans unnecessarily? Second, why punish our team? Third, why is it the MLB decision when its our roof, bought and paid for by Texas taxpayers? Crap like this turns people off from baseball.

SI is all over game 3, of course. Roy O, our hero, is our last hope. If we go down 0-3 we can kiss the series goodbye. Still, we have 3 games here, if we win all 3, we just need to win 1 over there.
