Astros - preseason vs. Toronto

The Astros  looked a bit like the Keystone Kops on Saturday.  It may have been the angle.  The plays I saw that looked troublesome were along the right field line and our seats were along the left field line.  I certainly hope they improve.

I also have a beef with the concessions folks.  I wanted the bratwurst, which came on the "Tour of the Majors" platter (i.e., with fries).  The sign said it was $8.75.  They wanted to charge $10.75, but settled on $9.75.  I should have walked away at that point and refused to pay anything over the posted price, but I was feeling biddable.

I hope they straighten out their pricing issue.
