<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">You might want to stay away from the snow cones at Minute Maid Park, especially the &ldquo;lemon&rdquo; ones.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">An  Astros snow cone vendor was busted with his pants down, literally,  after a fan took cell-phone video of the vendor stilling on the can at  Monday&rsquo;s 6-5 win over the Royals.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">As if paying admission to watch the woeful Astros isn&rsquo;t bad enough, fans now have to wonder about what&rsquo;s in their snow cones.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">As  far as the vendor goes, I understand that when &ldquo;duty calls&rdquo; &ndash; &ldquo;duty  calls,&rdquo; and sometimes you just gotta run to the bathroom. But you gotta  ask the hot dog guy to watch your snow cones while you run into the  john. You can&rsquo;t bring &lsquo;em in and put &lsquo;em on the floor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">The  vendor was fired for his actions. Luckily for him, it seems like the  Astros have openings available at all nine positions on the field. He  might want to dust off the old ball glove.</p>

<p><span>The city of Montreal announced on Tuesday that a stretch of road in front of <span>Jarry</span> Park, the place where Gary Carter played his first few years with the Expos, would be named after the Hall of <span>Famer</span> and 11-time Major League All Star who passed away from brain cancer last year. <span>Faillon</span> Street West is now know as Gary Carter Street.</span></p>
<p><span>Carter made his big league debut for the Expos in 1974 and played at <span>Jarry</span> Park until the club moved to Olympic Stadium in two years later. He  played 12 seasons total in Montreal and won a World Series championship  in 1986 with the Mets.</span></p>
<p><span>With <span>Citi</span> Field in New York already having a Jackie Robinson Rotunda and a <span>Shea</span> Bridge, it would be nice to see the the Mets find a way to honor Carter  in a similar fashion. Perhaps a statue or something like that?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Justin, who  was playing in Arizona for the first time since the D-backs traded him  to Atlanta in January, didn't take too long to get revenge, as his  two-run homer happened just two pitches after Miley hit B.J.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Justin  finished 4-for-5 with two run and two RBIs, while Chris Johnson, who was  also shipped to Atlanta in the same trade, also added a two-run homer  against his former team. Looks like the D-backs might be regretting that  deal for many years to come.</p>

<p>Swisher also hit a homer in the inning, so that could explain why he's in such a good mood. Will and Carlton better look out!</p>
