    These two bicker more than a married couple. What’s the deal?

    mostly on Craig, he gets very defensive for some reason. Kind of like "i've been in the rockets organization this long who are you"

    They do? I didn't notice. They seem pretty friendly towards each other to me. Craig does a lot of correcting but I don't think its out of bickering, I just think its a personality flaw. Ryan is younger than him so he probably is more relaxed with his tone than someone like Bill. I am sure Ryan has enough money and isn't in this position out of desperation. If he doesn't care then I am sure its fine.

    The days (weekends) when Ackerman fills in and tries to do Astros games are the Astros games when you switch over to the radio. He's unlistenable, and belongs in the pre/post game booth.

    I haven't listened to the Local Rockets enough this year to have an opinion yet.

    I think it is because of prospective, cultural, spiritual, experience, age, maturity, mentally, health or even social status differences. The similarities between these two are Rocket basketball, a common language and heterosexuality. They are friendly with each other and maybe even have a friendship, but they are very different people.

    These 2 don't have and never had, chemistry. I'm sure they are work friendly, but they clearly aren't friends and it shows. Every damn conversation feels awkward.

    I think Ackerman is actually a very good PBP guy, but any time they veer away from that, in any way, it gets rough.

    I don't think Ackerman has done Astros. I think you are talking about Kevin Eschenfelder.

    You're right.

    Eschenfelder sucks much more than Ackerman does.

    I shouldn’t reply to myself but they don’t have Rocket basketball even. One is a Californian and the other is a local. A lot of the basketball references are lost in personal perspective.

    Not huge on Ackerman but Hollins is atrocious. Wish they'd get rid of him
