OK ...

... watching the Series game at Houston, there was controversy over whether or not Houston should be allowed to close the retractable roof over "Enron Park" ... oops ... "Bill Clinton Friends Stadium" ... oops ... "In A Minute Made Park" ... oops ... another Clinton reference ... ok ... "Minute French Maid Park" ... ok, Bill ... stop ... "MINUTE MAID PARK"? I'd better not refer to Clinton any more, since I may be referring to someone on his last legs out, according to the National Enquirer - "Is Clinton Dying?".

This is OCTOBER. Just play the game. If it were July, perhaps you close the roof just to keep the elderly fans from having heat strokes, like GHWB and Babs. However ... don't we always call this "The Fall Classic"?

This reminds me of RC saying that the "elements" had a factor in RHHS kicking LHS's arse.

There are certain sports meant to be played in the spring. Track, for one.

There are sports really meant to be played in the summer. Swimming. Diving. Midget Bowling.

There are certain sports meant to be played in the winter. Basketball. Volleyball. Midget Bowling.

Then there are sports that are meant to be played over the fall. Football. Maybe "Cross Country" ... although that could be, in many urban areas, "Car Jacking Then Running From The Cops".

And finally, there are sports that are extended from summer into the fall ... hence "The Fall Classic". Baseball ... or... Beisbol. Whatever you prefer.

If you don't want baseball games played in October, shorten the danged season. 162 "games" of most players standing around scratching ... ? The NFL can do their regular season in 17 weeks, with one bye week. Why can't baseball?

Bud Selig, you should talk to Paul Tagliabue.

(Anyway, this is my most current "rant" ... feel free to disagree)
