The Commissioner's Office should butt out

The Houston Astros have a much better record at home when the roof is closed.

But the Commissioner's Office has meddled in the normal perogatives of the home team by ordering that the roof of Minute Maid Park be open for Game 3 of the World Series tonight.

IMO, it's the most outrageous abuse of the authority of the Commissioner's Office since the home field advantage in the 1984 NLCS- probably the decisive factor- was arbitrarily taken away from the Cubs and awarded to the Padres in the interest of televising one game in prime time rather than during the day.
