I have massive anxiety and my bowels are a mess and this next week is going to be miserable

so I'll be back to cynical and fatalistic in no time in an attempt to cope

Terrific read - my brother and I were there. Our buddies left around 12th inning to get in line for game 7 Mike Scott tickets that never happened.

We Astro fans are so due for good times! This season is special!!

I was sitting in my seat praying most of the time.

What were you doing sitting?
Mostly in between innings, but not at all from like the 6th inning and on. Some of that praying was done standing too. That game just had a crazy amount of emotions to it. Hugging complete strangers, grown men crying, and just absolute joyous mayhem after Springer caught the final out.
Pretty much it... pretty sure I gave a guy a piggy back ride at one point.

Astros in 6, or Dodgers in 7.

This is how I see it going. Split 1-1 (in LA) , Astros take 2 of 3 (in Houston) and then win game 6 with Verlander

But if it gets to 7, I think it favors the Dodgers unfortunately.

I got a Cutter & Buck polo and some Stance socks.

Too good of a deal to pass up and this team deserves it.

I have row 1 section 433 for Sunday. Bought them for 199 a piece during pre-sale. I'm confident I could get 900 each now, of course I'll never sell but if my wife finds out that is possible I may be fooked

It's okay though because my sister lives in LA and said she would bring the boys orange slices and caprisuns to help keep them cooled down. No rule #1

Could be the hottest WS game ever. Think that bodes well for the offenses, but not so well for the home field advantage. That heat and booze will wear those pansy ass hippies out real quick.


Quote:
The hottest game-time temperature for a World Series game - any playoff game, in fact - was 94 degrees for Game 1 between the Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Yankees on Oct. 27, 2001. While the Diamondbacks typically play with their Chase Field roof closed under such conditions, Major League Baseball decreed the roof stay open, as is its prerogative for jewel events.

Reading that makes me expect that our roof will be open. Is 50 too cold for an open roof?

It's going to be hard watching the Yankees/Dodgers WS starting tomorrow. Fortunately, I didn't need to watch the Astros get eliminated since some posters here swore that we were done after game 5 in NY. It was a good run

I thought we were just required to comply with our own policy? Meaning if the weather was within the range that we'd normally have it open then we couldn't choose to close it?

Was that not the case in '05?

Surely there's no way they force the roof open if it means a rain delay/postponement?

Serious question, how cold does it have to be to have the roof closed

I mean, what could they seriously do if ownership refused to open the roof? They're not going to delay the WS because the roof is shut. I imagine the worst that would possibly happen is a fine
