Speaking of Chron stuff, I couldn't overlook this quote:
“I’m shocked,” said Ensberg, who hit .232 (52-for-224) with eight home runs and 31 RBIs this year. “My wife and I are so happy we get a chance to get back there. I really was just speechless when Tim (Purpura) told me I was going out there. I can’t wait to go have Mexican food.”
Just what the hell does he think he's getting in Houston? If he can't find good mexican food in Houston, his tendency for looking but not seeing applies to more than just balls and strikes!

As Noe notes, he's probably looking for a different kind of Mexican food than Tex-Mex. Still, I can see this:
A waiter places a plate of quesadillas on the table and asks Morgan if he will be needing anything else. Morgan stares at the waiter, speechless, barely blinking. The waiter walks off and returns with a plate or sizzling fajitas, setting them down right in front of Morgan. The waiter asks if there's anything else. Morgan continues staring blankly at him, dead silent. Finally, the waiter goes to the kitchen and comes back with a plate of enchiladas, which he deposits squarely before Morgan. Morgan finally turns toward the food, picks up a fork, and lunges at the dish before him, but comes up empty, his utensil never making contact with the food on the plate. He then gets up, expressionless, and walks out of the restaurant, muttering to himself.
