As of right now, have to work.  Won't even get to watch on TV.  Working on at least changing that part though.

[Bench]

Game 1 - The back rows of the field level in right field
Game 2 - The nosebleeds.

[Andyzipp]

Likely won't get to watch either game. 

[AstroFrog]

I hope I am catching the last 3-4 innings of Game 1 (this assumes my wife is tolerant of a distraction during dinner/kid homework hours).

For Game 2 I have no real options.

I hate this schedule so much.

[PCOL2000]

Thinking about trekking up to Boston.  Anyone headed up that way?

I'm thinking about it too.

[hostros7]

Game 2 - field box behind home

Two day games is expected but brutal for the fans. I'll have to be in the office for game 1.

Tickets shouldn't be too pricey. Boston fans don't get excited until the ALCS.

Would anyone be willing to PM me a cable log-in for ESPN for the postseason?

When do they announce the Sunday game time? Will probably go if day, but night tough

[Andyzipp]

If you needed another reason to go to MMPUS on Thursday, Bob Costas is going to be doing the television play-by-play...

I wonder if Astros radio will be allowed to do the game?

[Fredia]

my youngest will be there. she cried when she got the ticket.

[ValpoCory]

I'll be there for Game 2, up in Section 425.    Dropping the kids at school in Round Rock on Friday morning and driving straight in.  Can't wait.

[JimR]

Section 116 Row 26 Thurs and Fri

[Waldo]

The team radio crews keep working throughout the postseason, don't they?

[ValpoCory]

Yes.  I assumed juliogotay was being sarcastic by saying "allowed to", referencing the MLB Fun Police's removal of the local TV crew broadcasts in order to drive up the network TV deal $$.

[BlownRanger]

The team radio crews keep working throughout the postseason, don't they?

I think so.  Satellite radio was giving the home team feed and away team feed channels for tonight's game.

[juliogotay]

I really wasn't sure about radio. I thought I remembered local radio from the past but wasn't sure about now.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 I'm set for game 2.  Leave first thing Friday morning; seat in the Crawford Boxes,  section 103.

I'll be the guy wearing Astros gear.

Any parking suggestions?

[Fredia]

the word is out thursday wear orange

[austro]

I have meetings Thursday afternoon and dinner Thursday evening with the new boss. Super. And doctor's appoinment Friday afternoon. Super.

[Waldo]

My dad, my son, and I are going to make the trip. Kiddo doesn't know yet and is going to freak when I pull him out of school.

Waldo has a kid in school old enough to understand how special it is to go to a postseason game. This doesn't mesh with my frozen-in-time mental image of Waldo as a UT student.

Shit, yours is probably a post-doc by now.

[BizidyDizidy]

I've decided to schlep my entire crew to Boston Sunday

[Fredia]

I have a vague  memory of him not liking the fish like mascot for the hooks.  long time on here.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I just now got to Porto. The Museo Del Prado was amazing BTW. My host is going to want to take me out to listen to Fado music and drink Port wine. I'm trying to figure out how to tell her I don't care much for that kind of music and that I would prefer to drink while watching baseball.

¿Qué?

[NeilT]

I don't know Fado, but it's the Portuguese thing.  It would be a painful choice. 

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Any parking recs for tmw?

Are the theater district city garages reopened?

Ride the rail.

[BudGirl]

Game 1 on a plane from Denver. 

Game 2 316.

[chuck]

The Museo Del Prado was amazing BTW.

How crowded was it?

And yes, ride the rail.

[NeilT]

Where would you park for the rail?

[Navin R Johnson]

I think there is a station real close to th flying saucer, and there are a couple lots near there.

[Navin R Johnson]

Last minute freebie to today's game, sitting upper deck 416. 

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Where would you park for the rail?

Thanks for the suggestion,  BG.

Which station to depart from is my question as well.

I'll be driving in from the North,  but heading south on 288 to Surfside afterwards.

Priority is getting to game quickest way possible.

[Navin R Johnson]

2 options. Park in the theater district and ride the rail to the convention center stop.  Or park near the Bell rail stop. There are like 4 huge surface lots, you might be able to find a street spot there. Then ride the rail thru downtown to the central station And it is a 10 minute walk or get on the green line and get off at the convention center.

I'd also check lots around discovery green/Toyota Center. Probably be about 15 bucks and save you from navigating the trains.

The theater district has better post-game bars.

[NeilT]

section 406 today, 117 tomorrow.  Anyone up for a post game port?

Not crowded at all.

[chuck]

Not crowded at all.

Nice.

[Navin R Johnson]

That was fun.

233 Friday.

1820 Lounge pre/post Astros win Friday. It's on Chucks tab.

Speaking of chuck. If I need a couple 1000 miles to keep United Status this year, where can I fly in near you and have some drinks for a day.

Come to the PTY and I'll come get you at the airport. If you come between now and Tuesday at noon or so we can go to the game.

It used to be 1770 miles back and forth but they changed the way they calculate it and now I'm not really sure what they're doing. I'm thinking about moving my miles to Copa if that tells you anything.

I'm rewatching the Astros game now. I'm trying to figure out what was so pressing that Hudson missed Altuve's second home run. Maybe he was trying to select the choicest bag of Dippin Dots.

I didn't miss it. I was out of view while talking to Allison to sincerely thank her for letting me sit in her seat.

[BudGirl]

Is anyone meeting early today?

I said we're in 117, we're in 118.  I don't think I'll get out of the office until noon.

Isn't 117 Keuchel's corner?

[NeilT]

That's 107.  And drink more port. 

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Parking garages in theater district were closed (at least the 3 I drove past).

Don't know if it's all day but looked like construction.

I found a street space.

[BizidyDizidy]

We're here in Boston - about to tour Fenway.  Weather pretty dicey out, but hopefully ok for the game.

They need to tear that dump down and build a stadium with a retractable dome.
