Blow Wind Blow! by The Cubbie Dude 12 September 2008
“Camille had either been the world’s most powerful hurricane or the largest tornado in history.”
Tom Clancy’s opening sentence in “Without Remorse”
I realize that Hurricane Ike will be “only” a cat 2 or 3 when it impacts the Houston, TX area tonight, but my gut tells me there won’t be any MLB games played in Houston this weekend.
I understand that Atlanta and Washington D.C. have been put forward as the most likely alternate “neutral” locations if any of the three Cubs/Astros games scheduled for this weekend are going to actually be played this weekend.
Nevertheless, I propose that the National League consider playing the games at Miller Park in Milwaukee. It’s available (the Brewers are in Philadelphia), it has a retractable roof (in case any Hurricane Ike influenced wind &/or rain should appear), and Brewers fans could be considered somewhat hostile to both the Cubs & the Astros right now.
Also, and this is completely unrelated to any personal motivation for my suggestion, Miller Park is located about 35 miles from where I am sitting at this moment.
So, MLB, what do you say? Move the series to Milwaukee??
