They own both. They choose to show the Rangers, so the Astros get left on the shelf. No one else can air the Astros either, since FSNO owns the rights to both...
Wrong. Comcast Sports Houston owns the TV rights to the Astros in all markets across the US. Problem is the channel has not been picked up by anyone except Comcast and a few small market cable providers. If you want to watch the Astros in LA, you need your cable or satellite providers to pickup the CSNH.

Exactly. Everybody seems to hate Jim Crane, but hardly any of this is his doing.

Crane came in and listened to the fans and brought the old-school type uniforms back, allowed fans to bring their own food and drinks into the stadium, and upgraded Minute Maid a bit.

He's done some good things.

And he gets blamed for this fiasco.
It is funny to see how some view Crane here in Houston, it's almost comical. They view him as the devil and as long as he owns the team they will never support them ever again. They blame him for the shitty team he inherited, the fact we are in the AL, the whole CSNH TV debacle. All they see Drayton as is the guy who took us to the World Series Drayton McClain fricked the Astros plain and simple.
