November 1, 20223 yr How beautiful can a day ever really be if you’re spending it in Philadelphia. Or houston in fairness.Yes. Much rather be in the beautiful RGV. Good grief.

I believe the discussion was about new stadiums that have been built, not replacing century old ones. You don’t need a roof in Southern California. And I don’t think anyone would advocate replacing Wrigley or Fenway or even any existing completely ordinary stadium for that matter. But there’s no good reason for any baseball stadium built in this century to not have at least a retractable roof in any part of the country where weather is a regular factor. It’s not football where you can just play on in inclement weather.

November 1, 20223 yr Sure hope LMJ does something snarky to trigger the snowflakes as he kicks the Phillies ass tonight.

We do the same here with COTA. $300M so far. $200M more in the pipeline. Big difference is that with COTA, the State of Texas has no ownership stake in COTA, unlike Yankee Stadium. Oh, and fuck Larry Bowa. Edited November 1, 20223 yr by wood

November 2, 20223 yr I’m seriously not trolling when I say 80% of them didn’t follow baseball before 2015. They’ve already fired up the “it should be 2-2-1-1-1” format excuse. Every baseball fan knows why that’s monumentally stupid. But they don’t, because they don’t know the sport.

November 2, 20223 yr you honestly think 80% of Astros fans on this board became fans in 2015, I seriously hope you aren't that stupid. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

Obviously anyone posting online about a team is a little more diehard so on this board it’s definitely safe to say 50-60% of you are recent bandwagoners.

November 2, 20223 yr Yeah when I was going to 85% empty games at MMP in 2011 they were really htown to the bone. And goddamn LMJ that’s egregious.
November 2, 20223 yr I get saving arms but you're just throwing this game away at this point. 4-0 is doable. 6-0 is going to take a miracle.

November 2, 20223 yr Kind of seems like they’re punting tonight and hoping to win 3 out of 4. 4-0 deficit against this Philly bullpen is nothing. 6-0 is way tougher. Bold strategy cotton.
