Ike Blows Astros to Milwaukee

Chicago Sun-Times via Bleed Cubbie Blue:

Minute Maid Park in Houston avoided serious damage and has been deemed playable, but not even Astros officials suggest any longer that games should be played amid the hardships area residents are enduring in the aftermath of Ike.

"We’d hate to play our game in Houston if there’s still lots of suffering in the city,’’ McLane told the Houston Chronicle. "We could get out and play somewhere else. We don’t want to play a game if folks are stressing with their homes. The safety of our fans is most important."
