not sure the 'stros have control over it. but the tv schedule was determined at the beginning of the season.
its on 51, because they moved the 1-0 Clemens/Brewers game over to ESPN. Thus, 51 had an extra game to pick up, and it picked up the only game left that they weren't planning to televise. bottom line: It will be on 51.
no.... but espn tends to pick up random Sunday games (they don't really care what's on, since most people watch football anyways). I doubt Fox wanted a Houston/Colorado series over a Giants/Dodgers or Braves/Cubs (even if one of those... goat... teams are out of contention). Also, at this point, the less day games after night games are better.... only one left on Sunday.
Game isn't on in College Station. On top of that, we have channel 70 specifically for Rangers and Stros games and instead of showing the Stros, they are showing the TBS broadcast of the A&M game. BS.
Yeah, it is pissing me off. It's so stupid, the damn football game is on TBS why make a nother tbs channel?!
