Korranus posted:I think that was the third Astros game this year that got a zero rating. Plus they just announced a ticket price increase. Plus CSN Houston is tied up in a clusterfuck of a court battle, mostly instigated by the Astros, and may limp on in legal limbo for years to come. It's the second time this year, and the third time in two years. Court proceedings have actually shed a lot of light on how much Comcast and the Rockets are to blame for the CSN fiasco. Comcast for never actually bringing any carriage deals forward to vote on (they were the only partner that could negotiate carriage deals), and the Rockets for reneging on a cash call to actually pay the Astros for their media rights. When that happened, the Astros served notice that they would reclaim their media rights, per the agreement with the network, so Comcast got three of their affiliates to file involuntary bankruptcy to stop the Astros from doing that. David Barron has covered this bankruptcy case from the beginning, so search out his articles and blog posts for the most accurate stuff. He's a court reporter, not a sports writer. E: I'm not arguing that the Astros are faultless, just presenting the actual facts. Feel free to laugh at the Astros, or blame the ownership group for not doing enough due diligence, or whatever.

That seems completely reasonable and fair to me.

Intruder posted:Bud loves loving the Astros, whichever decision he makes it'll gently caress them one last time. Aiken better hope Bud decides they can't sign him because if they can his elbow will explode Agreed. Highlights include forcing the team to another league, forcing them to change the park policy have the roof open during the world series, and forcing the team to play a "home game" ninety minutes away from their opponents home town while a hurricane was actively destroying the homes of all the Astros players, despite having both closer venues, and time on the calendar to delay the series. Whatever active role he plays in the Aiken scenario will surely end in loving the Astros once again.
