Fittingly, so have the Astros.

Re: Goodness gracious (Astros)

The Astros are giving the Phillies fits this weekend, taking two of the first three in a HUGE series for Philly that they're fans/players probably chalked up for four automatic wins. For that Houston deserves a big thank you.

Re: Goodness gracious (Astros)

Went to the Cubs game last week when Travis Woods pitched. I bought two $5 tickets and walked right down to the 10th row behind the dugout, $100 plus seats. None of the ushers gave us a second look. I'm sure they were just glad to have anyone there at all.

I've never been to an MLB game with fewer people in attendance.

I'm guessing he's going to have a bone to pick with that.
