What was the soundtrack for the sleeping bag game?  Mike and the Mechanics?

It looks to be pretty soggy in Philly.  The tarp is already on the field.

Good preview, even if the games don't end up happening!

Damn. And I liked the Piranha nickname too. The Altuve or Mr. The Altuve just isn't a nickname to me. Brief but good series preview, which is sort of like this funky two game series. The schedulers were really on psychedelic drugs when they came up with the schedules for this season. Some teams play a ton of division games early while others don't. I don't get it. Let's hope that we an get the series in around the rain.

How about the Astros having a double header in Colorado on Memorial Day, followed by Tuesday off to hang around Denver, and then Wednesday and Thursday still in Colorado?

No shit? That's just fucking horrible and, frankly, inexcusable. I wonder what the rationale is for that one. A CBA "18 days off" issue? Probably.

Could be worse.  They could have those off days in Detroit.
