Minute Maid Park
What is there to say?
Dallas has the Ballpark at Arlington.
Chicago has Wrigley.
Baltimore has Camden Yards.
Oklahoma City has the Bricktown Ballpark. FRIGGIN' Oklahoma City!
And Houston?
Houston now has Minute Maid Park. A great place to drink some juice, even if you happen to be sitting in one of the many seats with an obstructed view of the field. And really, as pitiful as the team is this season (tonight, they looked like a Little League team in blowing a rundown after a pickoff), drinking the juice really is a better alternative than trying to watch them play. Especially if one smuggles in some airplane bottles of vodka.
Please let this baseball season end, and bring on the Texans.
(Update) Okay, Callie points out it could be worse. Mattress Mac could have bought the naming rights, and stuck a Gallery Furniture couch on the back of the train. Hell, he probably would have been SITTING in the couch, yelling "Gallery Furniture Saves You Money." Good gawd, this town is wack sometimes.
