Roof Closed

[jimotis4heisman]

Bud says it has to be open.

I hope they keep it closed. And give Selig a big F-U.

I really dont get this at all. Houston is in charge of it all year, except during the playoffs. HOW LAME IS THAT????

 

[Thump]

I have never seen such a big deal made out of absolutely NOTHING!!

Who gives a shit.

Maybe Houston should worry about their ace closer not losing games instead of a freaking roof.

Or maybe that stupid mountain they have in centerfield that will in time cause one of their players to roll their ankles or knees?

Crock-O-Crap. Selig says it isn't 'fair'. How come it was OK to be 'unfair' the past four months? Teams water diamonds and rake foul lines. Either set a standard rule for baseball that guides when retractable roofs can be open or let the home team make the call.

I'm glad I'm watching Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin

The funny thing is the MLB has been pushing BIG for cities to build the retractables, yet then in the playoffs, its out of their hands. I completely agree though....this is very stupid.

I thought it was Houstons decision in the LCS, but the WS is up to
'Hair Bud'.

Actually, it is a big deal to the Astros: it's much louder with the roof closed. At this point I'm sure they'll take any advantage they can get.

Maybe it's just me but crowd noise has little or no affect on a baseball game.

It's important there because Podsednik won't be able to hear when Jermaine Dye yells to him "Look out for that hill" !!

holy shit i agree with Thump twice. :p

Anybody listen to dan patrick today? His only 2 topics were Michael Vick and the roof. Could they try any harder to make a story out of nothing? Him and McCarver should team up to create the biggest non-story in the history of sports.

Rowand plays in center, and I'm on record with my dad as saying he will get hurt on that stupid thing. I've been against it ever since they built the stadium......i don't know how nobody has gotten hurt yet. Rest assured it will be a White Sox to break it in.

I would have agreed with that had I not seen the graphic for Houston. They are markedly better with the roof closed.

Thats what Patrick does best when there isnt much to talk about. :tongue2:

Why did they put that damn hill out there anyways?

To boot, they have a flagpole on that hill that is "in play!"

Funny thing is that they still have a winning record with it closed and open.
