May 26

The baseball game was a lot of fun, but the Astros are terrible.  Pete tells me they have the lowest payroll in the American League.  Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees purportedly makes more than the entire Astros team.  This may explain why they win only one game in four.  They had almost as many hits as Oakland, but couldn't score despite having multiple opportunities.  Also made two throwing errors.  Can't be making throwing errors.

Our seats were 10 rows back on the third base side.

For me, the concept of a baseball park with a roof is weird.  This stadium has a retractable roof, however, so it has natural grass.  Retract the roof, grow grass.  Baseball has to have natural grass.  This isn't football, for pity's sake.  The facility is really quite nice

We left after the top of the 7th.  Beat the rush, had a great time.
