AAAAEHGHGHRGHRHRHRHGH.

[livejournal.com profile] ayrdaomei passed along this story about how the MLB may not allow the Astros to close Minute Maid Park.

This makes me so angry I can barely use words. Closing the roof is a huge part of the home field advantage for the Astros. It magnifies the sound of the crowd and makes them part of the action.

This absolutely reeks of bullshit to me. During the NLDS and NLCS it's perfectly okay to have the dome closed, but now all of a sudden it is a Bad Thing? In what universe does that make any damn sense?

I'll tell you. Very possibly in the same universe where the postseason umpires in White Sox games have "blown" an awful lot of calls in the Sox's favor. The coincidences, they are piling up. I am starting to seriously wonder how many postseason games the White Sox have won and how many of those games the MLB won for them.

I'm not really a conspiracy theorist - I like to joke around and make shit up, but I never seriously believe it - but sometimes things are as obvious as a poke in the eye.

In the universe where the White Sox are still able to run with those horseshoes shoved up their asses.

Uh huh... and what happens if it starts to rain in Texas? You know, like it was doing in Chicago for the past three days. Logic would say that you'd close the damn roof.

LOL, I'm quite a conspiracy theorist ... however, anyone with just a little bit of logic sees how stupid this is anyway. Le sigh. -_-

What the hell is Selig thinking? Anything that even HINTS at favoritism for the White Sox and there could be wingnuts yelling about Black Sox Mark II...*shakes head*

If the White Sox are fated to win this year I want them to win CLEANLY and without hint of suspicion so they can just FREAKING SHUT UP about us Cubs fans and stop hating us so damn much. Bleargh.
