Isn't the storm supposed to mostly clear out of town by this evening? It would probably depend on how much damage / power hit there is in the area around the stadium.

My guess would be if power is restored to downtown and MMP, they will play the ballgame.

It's already clearing out (source: me, in First Ward) and will be completely gone by early evening per Space City Weather.

I'll be heading down Houston Ave in a few hours to scope out the flooding but I would hope and expect by this time tomorrow things will be back in at least functioning order.

Now back to watching Mets-Pirates on my laptop through my phone hotspot since I am without power.

Kinda like the capital in the Hunger Games...Downtown always seems to have power when nobody else does.

I'll never forgive Arlington for not swapping the home series with us back in 2017. Fellow Texans, my ass.

Should be Blanco-Framber-Bloss if they stay in rotation, but HB could start on regular rest if they want on Thursday.

Should be Ronel as linkdude said, but oddly it's still TBD.

If the power comes on today I can go to the game. If it doesn't, we are taking the baby to the in laws and I'll have to miss it

First game to go to since she's been born so of course it would get messed up

Craig Biggio spent his entire @MLB career with the @Astros. That almost wasn’t the case.

Of his free agency after the ’95 season, Biggio told me recently, “I was minutes away from being a Rockie. That’s how close it came.”

Listen to the full story from Biggio in the next…

Have tickets for Wed night for anniversary with my wife. Currently working from a friend's dining room table and smelling like gasoline from the generator at our house. Centerpoint - step upp!

Same. I used to pull for them when we were in separate leagues. I still had some goodwill towards them, until that happened. F&$ those guys.

$5 tix . $1 dogs. Could think of a lot worse places to ride it out with no power.

Welcome to fatherhood, brother. Your schedule is now tied to your kids activities and needs.

I saw that interview. I'm pretty sure that guy was blitzed completely the day or more before, had no clue there was a hurricane, and needed some recovery food. Was probably like 28 Days Later for him. We got a good laugh out of that in our household.
