    Wow, talk about the lack of a warm reception for the As. We had on and off snow squalls today and at 4:30 when I was driving home it was 36 degrees. They're going to move tomorrow's game up since it won't be any warmer tomorrow.
    I can't imagin how pleasant it is to get jammed with a 103 Zumaya fastball in this cold. CUDDLE ALERT!!!!

    When was the WS usually played before expansion to divisions and playoffs to determine the NL and AL champs?

    They had the anniversary of Larson's perfect game earlier this week. Of course back then they played during the day too.

    That's odd I would have thought it was earlier, the season was 152 games when Larson was pitching and the WS started soon after the end of the season. It would have started 1st week of October.....well I guess that was last week wasn't it! :)

    I think it was the first week of October or earlier.

    It was 27 degrees this morning here at the fort. I will be doing the color guard at Busch Stadium tommorrow night for game 3. I think It's going to be a cold son of a gun. I hate MO weather. But if you watch the begining of the game and you see the color guard look for the guy holding the red flag and thats yours truly The GORT!! Luckily TN has a bye this week so I'm not going to miss a game.

    Busch won't look quite right with Padres standing on the visitors baseline...the Astros are traditionally there!
