Astros - Bee Delay?

[AstroVol]

Anyone listening to the Astros - Padres game? I haven't made out the situation, but the game has been in delay for quite a while due to a swarm of bees that took roost in LF.

Been watching it. Reminded me of the Yankees/Indians playoff game where all the bugs swarmed Joba Chamberlain.

Will PETA protest the killing of the bees?

The Killer B's have returned?

Hook'em!!!

They called a beekeeper who brought a queen and lured the bees that way. They did a live capture.

If they had tried to use a killing means, the Astros would be toast.

I dont know where you got the idea that he lured them away, but dude killed them by the 100s with two large cans of bee (whoopass) spray. They were all drawn to a jacket of one of the ball girls for some reason (presumedly harispray, perfume or some such female accoutrement). Once he had gotten most of them, he swept a large portion of the dead ones off the ground, bagged the jacket and left the field. Once off the playing field, he did pause to take off his beekeeper helmet, waive to his 10's of fans, flash the shaka bra sign and preserve the moment for youtube.

Sorry -- I guess was misinformed by a friend of mine who toldme it was a livwe capture.

Sorry. I don't keep up with the astros, so I was neither watching or listening.

Please forgive me

The Astros are toast...but that's not unusual.
