I suggest you draft Illbay from Katy

Every team needs an idiot for a mascot to run around making a fool of himself.

Good question. One issue at a time please.

As a fringe benefit, one keg of beer and one keg of diet soda will be stationed at third base. Anybody who reaches third (whether on the FRAstros or the opposition) gets a free drink. Just don't spill any.

Consultant has been drafted. (utility IF-LH hitter). That completes the 25-person roster. Note that on September 1st, we are eligible to expand the roster to 40, but those added are not eligible for post-season play, unless someone on the 25-person roster gets injured.

Hey, it's humid out here.

A gazillion dollars for a retractable roof stadium and they leave it open in August. Drink your beer before it melts.

In defense of Humdiston, I offer this:

Roses are red...

Violets are blue...

Some poems rhyme...

Some don't!

Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact...
but even I didn't know, I could pitch like that."
Says, "I am the greatest, that is understood...
but even I didn't know, I could pitch that good."

LOL, It immediately brought to mind this song!

On days that I pitch, I will ask that the roof be closed. The knuckle ball acts better with no wind. I will use more split-fingers and curve balls when the roof is open.

You better check with BobbyD. He also owns the company with the grounds keeping contract. He says he decides when the roof will be open.

According to the rules of MLB, for regular season games, the team chooses whether the roof is open or closed. Obviously if it's raining or very hot, the roof will be closed. Otherwise, typically they leave it open.

For post-season games, the commissoner decides whether the roof is open or closed.
