If the Blue Jays end up in the World Series against the Cubs, I think it would
be a good idea for you to not watch the contest.  Too demoralizing for you! :>)
And regards this retractable roof compromise:  I think the F.O.B. got took!
They should have stuck to their position:  No roof!  You can figure out what
is going to happen...the construction will start, problems will occur with
the retractable roof feature, so they scrap the idea and install a permanent
roof!  Wait and see!
