Amazingly, I actually watched it. Haven’t been watching many lately. Lay this one mainly on the Texans. But I gave up on football about 20 years ago so I had the game on while I worked around the house. I had no idea I was in such an elite group.

I’m an Astros fan. I think that is funny. Don’t mind all the thumbs-downs.

Well, the Astros affiliates in Central Texas have stopped carrying Sunday games-That explains a lot of it…hat is bad business, plus moving to the AL has many Houston/NL fans mad

So, even family & friends of Astros players don’t watch the game anymore?

It is surprising. I would have figured that nobody would have watched the game.

At least the Astros can look forward to getting their butts kicked by a whole bunch of different teams next year. when does the games schedule for next year come out?

Actually, it was much sadder than that. 1,092 couldn’t find the remote.

Gee, Astros family and friends number that many. Must be since no one else would be watching this AA team.

of those 1092 1090 were Reds fans, 1 was a child being punished for stealing Daddy’s porn and the other was a murder/suicide couple that happened to have that channel on until the cops found them.

I feel bad for you. The Astros were a class act when we were there. Best of luck in the AL.

The Astros aren’t leaving the National League. They are limping out of the national league. Sad. The astrodome weeps.

For what it’s worth, I’ll bet more than 1,092 fantasy baseball managers tuned watched that game via MLB.TV or MLB Package.

It’s gonna be a long road back… But it can be done. The Nats had, if I recall, TV audiences of less than 5K (or maybe it was radio) when they were losing 100+ games. Today, even with the RG3 great game, there was Nats’ reporting (and Orioles’ reporting) in the newspapers and Nats talk on the sports talk radio stations–and it wasn’t all Strasburg.

Compare this to the number of people who will watch Clemens’ return to Houston and they might just set a record for biggest ratings increase during one season ever.

This brings up the question, If the Astros win but no one is around to see it does it still count as a win?

It’s to be expected; the Astros aren’t very good and it was the Texans’ first game in 6 months.
