But I haven't seen it since last year's parade. I hope it isn't sitting in a pawn shop window on Lake Shore Drive right now...

Yeah, but its on its way to Houston. Will be here tonight (or tomorrow). By the time Larry Bud sobers up and his people explain it to him, it will be here.

The article from 2014 has some good humor. It includes a "dispatch from the future" with the following comment from the 2017 season..
Ownership behavior came under much heavier scrutiny. Commissioner Bush had, just last April, come down hard on the Rockies after their disastrous 10-cent Marijuana Night.

Sorry I'm late. My BB has a new work schedule, and he couldn't stay up for the end of the game last night because he needs his beauty sleep.

Congrats, Astros.
