| 22nd September, 2008 - 8:31 am | ESPN - The Astros are still upset about having to play the Chicago Cubs in Milwaukee following Hurricane Ike, according to ESPN.com.

"The most important thing is getting the game in so you don't lose the gate and you don't lose the revenue. That's A-No. 1. And then if in the course of that you can work it around where players aren't affected, that's a distant second.
