The Yankees are playing in Houston this year, and as all teams now do for premium games people are very interested the Astros had a lottery for people who wanted to get tickets. I entered it on a whim, thinking it funny and then got in and bought tickets for the Sunday game which I thought was hilarious. It occurred to me after all this that I had obligated myself to go to Houston to see the game unless I wanted to be one of those jerks who buys tickets just to tell them.
In a nutshell, Houston has now been added to my second-tier city tour although it is not happening on the same trip. With my luck, the pitching matchup will be something totally awesome like Roy Oswalt versus Kei Igawa.
