    Yeah, they had the Rockets vs the Magic game four at noon.

    Before the Mike Scott no hitter, they had Nolan Ryan's 5th no hitter.

    I thought they were going to show nothing but Rockets games.




    I guess I can live with the Astros too.

    well that sucks, the next game is the DK no hitter.


    One Rocket game, three one hour Astros game.

    The Astros have nothing to do with the term "Clutch City".

    To associate them with that term is an insult to the Rockets (who have earned it).

    True. UH, Astros, and Oilers, have been nothing but Choke City. Sorry.

    Hmm yeah, those Astros teams in '04 and '04 really choked (who cares that they didn't quite win it all)...

    Hey, if the Rox hadn't initially been dubbed Choke City, then Clutch City never would have existed.
