Running Hurricane Ike thread

Of course Drayton McLane was a fucking greedy soulless asshole only concerned with his bottom line and Bud Selig wasn't completely in the bag for the Brewers the decision to move this series would have been made on Thursday.

Fuck both those assholes.

 

Pretty good photo gallery from the Houston Chronicle, including this photo which shows the road to Galveston.

I ain't worked up.

But you cluelessness might get me there yet.

 

ok

 

Drip, you can't have a rational conversation with Simon.

 

Pretty awesome photo of that memorial:

Waves crashing into the Seawall reaches over the memorial to the Great Storm of 1900.

 

So, you wish these people would've died?

Bill Murphy, right, stands with his wife, Barbara, as two others who were stranded with them wait to be rescued from flood waters by a Coast Guard helicopter in High Island.

 

I thought about that. So move the game to Milwaukee, you'll have given an advantage to the Cubs. Move it to St. Louis and people would come out but I think you'd find it to be more pro Cubs because of the rivalry between the the Cards and Cubs.
I think the only fair wait and see what happens. There's a chance the games might not be needed. And if they are needed, the situation in Houston will have been straightened out a bit.
Right now, I think playing a baseball game is the last thing on the Astros' minds.

 

There are 13 other empty stadiums to pick from.

 

Move the damn thing to Atlanta. Heck, the Expos and Marlins played a series in US Cellular a couple years back.
So what if the Astros are somewhat inconvenienced? They bank enough cash to make up for it.

 

Moving on from the ballgames ...
