Dont forget about finding the safest route to Treasures :-)

My guess would be a plane could get out of Houston tonight, the question is going to be if the players can make it to a plane.

Owings should go ahead and convert to 1st base.

I really see no possible way to play the games in Houston, or for the Cubs to make it to Houston tom. The city is going to be complete chaos till probably at least Tuesday. This isn't something you wait out only to find out you can't play on Sunday. They should be finalizing plans tonight to guarantee a game being played on Sunday.

I would give him incentives never to start again. I would say 2/16 with a third year option.

Uhh...when? How can this idiot hold our season hostage? Let's just make the games meaningless and not play them at all

lol @ MLB Yes let's fly into a city currently being evacuated, play a day game then leave. That won't disrupt any city plans.

Creepy and unlucky.

Houston can flood too, this will the biggest problem IMO. Also I would not expect a good turnout from the Houston crowd.

He is going to have a very difficult time getting employees to work, not just fans to the game.

Schools in Corpus Christi were canceled Thursday and Friday. Since then the track has gone from a direct hit to Corpus Christi, but moving north up the state every couple of hours. Just based on the sheer size of this thing Houston is going to be hit with a whole lot of rain and wind at the very least. Rita caused a lot of flooding around downtown Houston and it was not a direct hit either. Pretty close though.

oh wow i hadn't even thought about that. yeah if ike takes the expected track i'm pretty sure they're gonna have to call off that game. the conditions would be horrible to play, but the bigger concern is that you don't want 100,000 people outdoors or traveling to/from the game. Wow, your location is funny given my phrasing of the above. And Austin was supposed to be an evac center, but now it's possible that Austion will need to BE evacuated. It's a mess, that's for sure. Austin won't need to be evacuated but flooding is very possible. I remember the 100 year flood down in the hill country in 1999. The river is very problematic. The game has been postponed to Sept 27.

Voters are very stupid especially in awards like this and gold glove.

I would still like to drink beer with Kruk.

During the homeless world cup do they put the players up in a hotel?

I still want to see more Sztela and even Zizzo. Zizzo impressed me last year at the u-20. Then again the 6-1 game last season over Poland is probably my favorite thing I have seen from the US in over a year.

Far more creative and athletic.

For those of you who have seen complaints about the structure of us soccers youth development but don't know exactly what were talking about , read the latest Dempsey entry at http://www.thisisamericansoccer.com and read about the struggles non-wealthy families have being involved. I would love to see that contrasted with like the Michael Bradley story. My parents were divorced and didn't make a lot of money. Try as they could, we could never afford half the crap that select teams want you to do. It's insane. Its really insane the cost of this. I was on the highest level select team in Texas that won the state title and every state tournament we entered. Traveled to Minnesota for international tourney, and to Mexico as well. It would cost around $5,000 per person a year to be on the team and travel. Every other weekend you go to Austin, Houston, Dallas, ect for a road game and the other weekensd they would come down here. I didn't play very long on it because of the expense. Of course that was the best year winning 5 titles and 3rd in the biggest one. Outside of that I was getting college coaches asking me to mail them tapes because they didn't have it in their budget or availability to come down to South Texas to scout. The number of Men's university soccer teams in Texas is very small. outside of SMU and Texas A&M I don't think any other D1 school has Men's soccer. Title IX has really screwed Men's soccer IMO.

I hope they have a 1 game playoff or it goes till the last day of the season.

The US Government is sponsoring Carlos Zambrano bobblehead day.

Depends on if he wants to throw like Jeff Bagwell did at the end of his career.

I think I am going to have to be at the bar before 5 to get a good seat for Monday. Hope McNabb remembers how to suck. What's the over/under for the game?

hopefully Alex Gonzales won't be starting tomorrow.

Today continue to be a good day.

let's makes sure those who start game threads the rest of the month have a wining record!
