They should let him start Friday night and pitch 9 innings in all 3 games. He has the rest of his life to recover....

I think everyone remembers exactly where they were the first time Mariano pitched in Minute Maid Park.

Sold my tickets a couple weeks back. Actually got someone to pay $50/each for tickets in the Mezzanine level. Now I'm wondering if I left money on the table.

You can tell how many Stros games I've watched this season.

Comcast and the Astros are being full d-bags on the negotiation front. The Rockets also are on the same channel, Comcast Sports Network. With Dwight Howard and Harden together, maybe they'll get their stuff together. Owning your won network...good....doing it during your biggest down period with massive rebuilding...not the best timing. They will be getting better, the pieces are being put in place but to the casual fan it looks like hot garbage. Which at the MLB level, yeah it mostly is.

If FS Houston were still a thing, there'd be at least 501

Of course people see this with zero context.

- The games are on CSN Houston, which reaches only 40% of the market.

- Those games were up against Texans games.

- There are only about 500 meters factored in to those ratings.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Indians, a playoff team, have averaged fewer fans per game than the Astros.

Got 5 free tickets to Sunday's game! Hope that is his last game and not friday or saturday. Also, not sure where Pettite is in the rotation but it would be cool if Sunday was his final start also, especially with it being in Houston.
