my choice was to keep spending $4k EVERY year for Astros season tix or to spend $1700 ONCE.


Shhhhh! Not so loud or Drayton might cut down on the number of HD games! LOL!

Seriously, you replaced another cost with what you spent for HD television and I commend you for a wise investment. You sounded like you were tired of trekking to MMP anyway plus you will probably get a good many road games in HD as well. It's not the same being among 30,000 as it is rooting from your living room but the restroom lines are shorter and the beer is colder back at home (not to mentiona cosier seat). And think of all the money you aren't spending on fuel and parking too!
