    Me too... the Astros website and ESPN both mention watching it, but they don't have any mention of blackouts on MLB TV :-(

    I guess they want people to find out the hard way. As long as they get paid.

    Willy struggles once again to drive in a run. He seem to swing at every pitch.

    They manage to black it out and check it from something else because a friend of mine was at the bar and he has the year subscription and he signed up in California but it blacked him out when we tried to log in and watch it. So we called them up and they asked him to call from a line in California and they will remove the block so we had one of his friends call and give his info to try and trick them. I had to leave but he was in the process of it to see if he can outsmart them. That way i can get all the blacked out games broadcast at the bar lol.

    Pulling Clemens after 88 pitches was such a boneheaded move.

    No kidding! They should have let him pitch the 9th. What is it with our offense when Clemens pitches? He should have 20 wins by now!!!

    I would've understood it if he was pulled for a pinch hitter, but nooooooo, crap.

    Garner totally blew this game, what was he thinking pulling Clemens. Now he pulls Lidge for Qualls. What is he thinking? He is overmanaging.

    Clemens has no-hitter stuff today and he gets pulled after 88 pitches? Doesn't make no sense.

    Ausmus also deserves some blame for throwing a 0-2 fastball when Lidge has one of the best sliders in the game.

    If garner don't pull him they are going to score 1 or 2 more runs.

    Why take Willy T out now. He is usually good with no one is on base. He should pinch hit for him with it was 1st and 3rd. Damn, Garner's move today pissed me off. If Purpura was watching this game, he should go get another batter.

    I bet 10 bucks that Willy gets benched tommarow for Bruntlett.
