    As always, no PBP in the thread. If you need that try one of the game cast sites. Keep discussion to this series. If it is not about this series it goes somewhere else.

    9-10 Chris Volstad, RHP vs. Dallas Keuchel, LHP 7:05 on FSH

    9-11 Justin Germano, RHP vs. Jordan Lyles, RHP 7:05 on FSH

    9-12 Travis Wood, LHP vs. Fernando Abad, LHP 7:05 on FSH

    bah. I'd rather see the Cubs 18 times a year than the A's and Mariners.

    Hi Folks. Please beat us in all of these games. At this point, I'd rather have the Cubs take the 2nd pick if we can get it.

    are you a Cubbies fan? if so, please don't take my Cub hate personal. Good luck next year in the Senior Circuit. Wish my team could stay there where it belongs.

    If the Astros went 18-144, but all 18 wins were against the Cubs, I'd be OK with that. :)

    meh. that would include 6 or 12 losses against the br*ves, and that's completely unacceptable.

    Yup. Oh no worries. I have nothing against Astros fans. Good luck in the AL next year!

    Why hate the Cubs? It's not like they are any good. Though they may still be better than the 'Stros. Sigh.

    There are so few people there you can hear people in the crowd talking. Hilarious! Reminds me of some of those old Expos teams.

    I don't find it funny at all. This was a model franchise from the mid-90s for at least a decade. :(

    Houston just isn't a real baseball town. When the Oilers left the Astros were the only serious contender this city had and people loved them for it.

    Football has sucked up all the collective attention of this city and the only way to get it back is winning be it the Astros or the Rockets.

    Houston is every bit as much of a baseball town as 90% of the other cities hosting MLB franchises. The Astros have sold over 3 million tickets 4 times. Even last season, worst in franchise history, the team had pretty average attendance. You can't judge fan base by how they withstand one of the worst 2 year stretches not just in franchise history but in MLB history. Aside from maybe the Cubs, where fans show up for the Wrigley event more than they do the team, there isn't a fan base in America taht would stick around to watch a product comparable to what the Astros are selling right now.

    Having said that...Houston is first and foremost an NFL city....which is indicative of nearly every city in America at this point not named St. Louis. The NFL is a beast that transcends sports at this point.

    four times.

    A lot of folks watching bad baseball for a "not baseball town".

    Indeed.

    Indeed, indeed.

    Just wanted to repeat everything you said in hopes that the repetitive redundancy might help folks catch on. :grin:

    If LA got a football team, would they be football first? Or is that the one city that is basketball first?
