It would be more akin to changing the configuration of an outfield wall prior to a series (like moving it out if you knew you had a speedier team and the other team was more home-run hitters).
I realize that isn't a perfect analogy by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it's a little different than your examples, which is why I asked the question in the first place. The only other place I can think of where this issue would come up is Sky Dome or whatever the fuck they're calling it now, and as I recall, nobody made the closing of the roof an issue there because it was much more likely that the weather would be cold/inclement in October.
I don't know -- it just seemed like kind of a pussy thing to make issue of, and I wonder if it would have been made an issue if the Astros weren't behind.

The only way we could have won is if they would have let us mine the base paths. Fuckers.
Oh, and congrats, Coltrane. You guys had a great Series.
