How do you keep up with the Astros?

I'm playing around with creating a poll.

I record the games on my DVR through DirectTv, but typically stream them to my computer through Reddit.

MLB.TV

Got rid of cable. I mostly use the ESPN app to give me notifications when someone scores, and then I check the highlight videos on astros.com. I'll also listen to the radio while driving somewhere, and I'll occasionally stream through reddit.

My cable is free... So, I watch on TV...

[bannedfan]

With MLB.TV I get all games unless the Astros play a Florida team, being I live in Florida.

[koolade2]

MLB.TV all games except for New York games those I watch on Cable. Which I am dumping Thieving Thieves they are

[unionstation82]

I get my modern up-to-date coverage of the Astros from Ford and Sparks.

[m240]

I get my information from outer space.  

[unionstation82]

That’s pretty much the same as me.

Sportsnet through Comcast. Although if given the choice I always choose the national broadcasts instead of our guys just to hear some different opinions (even if most of them are annoying).

[abregmanfan]

I get my info from bortaz.

The local guys Kalas and Blum are homers (as expected), but they’re entertaining as well, which is all I need. For the Rockets, I’m not big on Drexler’s commentary. Bullard is dull albeit informative. The worst is the radio guys. They seem to act like every foul against the Rockets is some egregious crime against humanity, yet when it’s the reverse, it’s always ticky tack contact in which the referee needed to ignore to keep the pace of the game going.

I like Blum and Kalas fine, but it's nice for a change of pace now and then.  Plus to see other viewpoints.

I cannot stand the Rockets commentators.  Horrible.  Just horrible.

I never had cable growing up so I religiously listened to Rockets basketball on the radio with Jim Foley and Gene Peterson. They can’t be matched.

I'm having great difficulty imagining something that would be more boring than NBA on the radio

Tennis and golf on the radio.  Or on tv.... Or in person.

never waste time with tennis or golf....both are boring. I no longer watch the NBA since it now mostly made up of street thugs and I stopped watching the NFL since Roger Goodell doesn't have the balls to stop these disrespectful thugs from taking a knee during the national anthem

I disagree with your assessment that the guys who take a knee are disrespectful thugs.  I prefer to think of them as misguided simple minded lemmings. they are very similar to teenage kids swallowing tide pods.

So would you agree with IGNORANT disrespectful thugs?

I get my updates from Jenny at 867-5309.

Some pretty off the wall commentary.

Well they are most definitely ignorant to the fact that the people paying them to play a game (fans) might not like the fact that they are showing tremendous disrespect for the nation that created a system that allows them to make millions.  And they also are obviously ignorant to the fact that if fans quit coming and quit watching then they will lose the source of their compensation.  So yes I agree with ignorant and obviously disrespectful.

However, this whole thing started when a pampered narcissistic man child thought that he could piss on everyone's shoes and tell them it was raining, and was foolish enough to think that he would get away with it.  The others just followed his lead, therefore the simple minded lemmings reference.
