I know Houston is planning on having the roof open because they are having jets fly over pregame but there are storms in the area so I guess it will be game time decision.
Doesn't MLB set guidelines for each of these retractable roof stadiums that says when they have to be open or closed so the home team can not do it for their advantage. Where could I find these?
trying to find a way and make a contibution to this thread and have been striking out. Heres my next idea:
I know this cat that ALWAYS loses, I called and gave him the CLE over and he was so happy that he gave me his acct# to his local to critique all his plays.
He took ARIZ -115.
I asked him why and his exact response was "because B Webb is awsome"
So Im taking colorado +100.

For what it is worth.
