    I feel sorry for the fans that can't watch the games in Houston.

    However, I'm glad that the satellite and cable providers are taking a stand. This is somewhat Les' fault for partnering with the Astros in the way that he did.

    The Astros are a team that's a long way off from offering a compelling product that folks are willing to shell-out big time money in their monthly bills to watch. The Rockets get taken down with the Lastros' ship.

    Yup, same here. And there are also some solid bars I like that have CSN. Y'alls plight is completely invisible to me. Doesn't phase me. Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think your signatures matter. The carriers are probably using analtyics to price everything and determine their actions.

    The human element is probably absent from decision making.

    I don't see CSN getting picked up by all carriers anytime soon. And I don't care (sorry).

    Now I'll rub it in a little (ha). CSN is damn fine programming. High quality visuals and well put together. I spent years watching the Rockets on Fox Sports, UPN, and other weird channels, CSN blows them all out of the water.

    Meh, I signed, but it is not the end of the world if I don't get it. I can always live stream a game online or hit up my favorite sportsbar if the networks can't get it together

    I don't even live anywhere near Houston, and I signed the petition. Only because if the games aren't on tv, Rockets' fanship will drown, and I'm afraid the team will move.

    All of your petition signings were/are useless or as Tad Brown said, 'garbage'.

    Over 100,000 people signed the petition. All that's great. Then there is the other side. They trot out their metrics. We aren't losing ground, therefore we aren't doing deals, etc, etc. All that is garbage on both sides, including ours.

    At least you got free Astros tickets? LOLOL

    If you want to petition, just stop going to games and buying gear. That's the most effective petition. A tumbling attendance gets their attention real quick.
