Okay, they Houston Astros are NOT quite “the Lastros”, but they do suck. Last I checked, they are 11.5 games out of first place in the National League Central.
Mike is sitting in the bedroom listening to the Sox/Lastros game. The radio in the bedroom doesn’t pick up AM very well, as in, it makes all sorts of annoying high-pitched noises. So, in there, we have to listen via XM Satellite Radio.
On XM, we get the radio feed from the home team, which in this case, is that of the Lastros. We hear some of their commercials, too. Can you believe that they can’t sell season tickets to save their lives? I mean, if I had enough money to buy Red Sox season tix, I’d be put on a waiting list for YEARS, and maybe, when somebody croaks, I might get them.
They are running commercials saying that it is NOT too late to get season tickets. Hell, it is the end of JUNE, the season is almost half over. If they can’t sell tickets now, they’d may as well just hang it up.
Around here, even most MINOR LEAGUE teams have regular sellouts for all games, or at least close to it. Wanna buy reserved seating for the PawSox now? FUHGEDDABOUTIT! You will be lucky if you can get a General Admission seat! This is why I try to plan my season, and buy tickets as far ahead of time as possible, so I can get good seats.
I would rather gouge my eyeballs out with a rusty tire iron, than live in a place like Texas, where they don’t seem to care about baseball so much.
Christine...seen here with spousal unit, Mike, and two very cool pieces of hardware!
