WHERE oh WHERE is that supposed great farm system we've heard about on here...for what, like the past 4-5 yrs. ?
I think we're just seeing the astros and cubs, continuing to milk the MLB tv contract AND their gullible fans.IF, you still get the money and the fans keep coming back like sheep...where's the real incentive to do better ???????

Where to start. Our TV contract is piss poor and we are not making money off of it nor milking it. If you haven't heard CSNH is broke and went into bankruptcy. Astros have not been paid by them in months and 60% of city of Houston can't watch the games. 2nd, our fans aren't coming back like sheep, they left long ago. Tell you don't know shite about our franchise because we average 10,000-12,000 fans a game in the seats. Between the club we have had on the field the past 3 seasons and the lack of a TV deal fans have jumped off the wagon. Support is at an all time low. You think Jim Crane actually wants to own a franchise where he can't get paid from a TV deal and only draws 10-12K a game. Get real. Now the Cubs on the other hand, still are a draw because they are the Cubs and have Wrigley Field.
