No clue. I'll ask their CEO at our next golf outing.

I want the Astros to win the WS, but the other 3 series feature the Dodgers, Yankees and Cubs. Probably the 3 largest fan bases by numbers in baseball.

Not much the Astros can do about that.

I keep hearing that Youston is the 3rd largest city in America but I keep seeing Youston teams treated like they're Birmingham

MLB postseason times have always been awful.

Rangers over the years have also had the day time slots in the postseason, including last year when they had the best record in the league. It's just something we have to deal with, it is complete bullshite though.

It's bull shite. You'd think since they're playing Boston that it'd help but guess not.

This is a much deeper playoffs than usual regarding talanted teams and big markets.

But even with the big-name teams, is it outrageous to ask that television throw them a bone and let not let one game out of four end before their fans get off of work? I can understand yesterday because of a conflict with the Texans, but COME ON.

Yankees and Dodgers always get the night games. It sucks. But I've seen my team get stuck with the afternoon games for years.

If the Indians win those ratings are going to be awful.

It's really annoying, but the best thing the 'Stros can do to combat this is to make the World Series. Then Fox will be forced to air us in primetime.

Some combination of Yankees-Dodgers-Red Sox-Cubs is probably what Fox would prefer
