If they haven't figured out that Everett isn't a leadoff hitter yet, then they might not give up on Duckworth.
Everett just produced. I'm stunned! He's still not a leadoff hitter though. This game is gettin good.
No the left him in long enough to load up the bases on a walk and hit batter. Tavarez is comming in for releif right now with Lane up.
Crazy game indeed. I coulcn't stop watching despite the huge early deficit. Now I am tensed - I am now greedy.
I'm in the same situation. They did this last game too. Have you found out anything from Cox about this?
There was an article in the chronicle about this a few days ago. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/bb/astros/3143905 Astros fans are caught in middle 40 games won't be shown because of dispute between cable systems, FSN By DAVID BARRON Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle About 150,000 cable subscribers in Conroe, Huntsville, Bryan-College Station and a dozen other towns will not receive about 40 Astros games this season, beginning tonight, and 60 Rockets games next season from FSN Houston because of a fee dispute. The Astros' games tonight and Thursday night against the Brewers, Friday and Sunday against the Cardinals and, Monday and Tuesday against the Pirates are the first games that will not be seen by subscribers to Cox, Northland, Cable One and Charter cable companies. FSN Houston added the games to its previous schedule of 90 Astros games under its new contract with the Rockets and Astros, which could total $600 million over the next 12 years, and assessed cable companies a fee. Industry sources estimate the fee at 45 cents per subscriber per month. "We're asking our distributors to help us absorb the costs," FSN Houston spokesman Ramon Alvarez said. "Some operators have elected to take the games, and some have not. That's their decision, and we respect it." Cox systems affected are in Conroe; Huntsville; Livingston; Bryan-College Station; Corrigan; De Ridder, La.; Hearne; Lake Charles, La.; Lufkin; Nacogdoches; Victoria; and Sulphur, La. Also affected are Northland systems in Brenham, New Caney, Navasota and Brookshire; Cable One in Port Lavaca; and Charter in Centerville, Palacios, Manvel, Montgomery County, Wharton and Iowa, La. Rather than pass on the cost to subscribers, Cox Communications spokeswoman Stacey Rugh said the company declined to pay the fee. "When we make decisions based on programming, we look at the greatest common interest for our customers," Rugh said. "(The Astros and Rockets) appeal to only a small percentage of the population."
Tell me about it! COX SUCKS ASS! TWO FREAKIN NIGHTS IN A ROW! WTF?! They choose not to show the game for this crap?! I am getting Satelite! b****ES!
here is good news, the bottom half of the line up is equally as feared as our top half. we still have a chance.
Ezekiel Astacio pitched today. He gave up 3 ER in 6 innings (7 hits and 6 strikeouts). Wandy Rodriguez goes tomorrow for Roundrock. Right now I will any of them over Brandon dWorthless at this point. We just gifted the Cards this game thanks to Ducky.
the bp looked great and our bats are looking a wee bit better every day. Chavez NEEDS to start over ausmus and suckworth needs to join redding.
