This cannot be made up, but it's pretty funny

Yesterday, Buffalo Wild Wings announced that they were the Official Wings of the Houston Astros.

Today their stock is down 1.3%.

Do you like Buffalo Wild Wings? The Astros do

Hey, so it turns out that Buffalo Wild Wings have the preferred wings of the Houston Astros.

Says Maury Brown:
Following Friday and Saturday night home games, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering special food discounts for all patrons wearing Astros gear. After every Sunday afternoon home game, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering special food discounts for all families wearing Astros gear.

Carlos Lee won't be in the lineup today or tomorrow, as he's been given permission to travel to Houston for "a business matter." It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes, or even Mycroft Holmes, to figure out that with the Rodeo going on, that's where Lee will be.

Mills:
"He has my blessing. We had discussed it when he first got here. I already told him he is in the lineup for Saturday."

Does it seem like it's a bit off-putting to show up and start talking about vacation days? That's a big no-no in my industry. Which is obviously not baseball.

We also see from Fallas' blog post that Berkman could DH in tomorrow's game, but will definitely be out today.

It's just...too good to be true

The Galveston County Daily News says that soon you'll have a drink with Backe.

County officials confirm site work has begun on a venture near Dickinson backed by former Houston Astros starting pitcher Brandon Backe, his relatives or both. Earlier this year, this column reported an establishment by the name of Backe’s Bullpen, 2709 Dickinson Ave., was seeking the proper paperwork from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

I wonder how many cops will be there. Because they love Backe.
