I'm considering that Lamar game myself but I had promised my tickets for that game to some friends of my wife.

What direction would that be? Central Liberty County?

This is our lightest week of the season pertaining to the amount of games for this week. Normally we have 50+ games but just 31 this week. Depending on my health, this is my Week 6 schedule: Thursday Lufkin at New Caney pregame meal at Dave's Hot Chicken Friday The River Bowl, Deweyville at Evadale pregame meal at Black Gold BBQ in Buna Saturday CE King at Atascocita pregame meal at Pappacita's Where will you be this week?

Projected Astro roster for Wild Card series: C (2): Diaz, Vazquez IF (5): Walker, Altuve, Pena, Paredes, Allen OF/DH (6): Alvarez, Smith, Spence, Trammell, Velazquez, Wade Jr. SP (4): Brown, Wesneski, Lambert, Pecko RP (7): Hader, Abreu, Blubaugh, Ullola, VanWey, Sousa, King Leaves 2 P spots left: P (2): Okert (IL), Blanco, Imai, Teng, Santa Other IF/OF/C in consideration: Barrosa, Delgado, Price, Loperfido

Yes, it definitely needs updating. Off the top of my head, these are the coverage area teams that currently have contracts with Texan Live: Barbers Hill (still kind of count them) Channelview Crosby CE King Humble ISD (Atascocita, Humble, Kingwood, Kingwood Park, Summer Creek) New Caney ISD (New Caney, Porter, West Fork) Montgomery ISD (Montgomery, Lake Creek) Splendora Spring Woods Nederland Huffman Silsbee East Chambers All those contracts are for home and away games. With Nederland doing their own home games via student led stream, I don't see TL being with them next season.

No games are done at Stallworth for whatever reason. Sometimes Vype but that's hit or miss. It's like the Goose Creek district wants no games streamed there except if visitors have a broadcast entity and then they are not very accommodating. Trust me, I have been there to broadcast games in the past. I know TL no longer has a contract with them.

If I am over this infection by Thursday and feeling up to it, I'll be at Randall Reed for Lufkin/NC. At worst I'll watch it on TL.

What about New Caney? You know, the team that has beat United.

The Blue and ............... will win.

I take it this view is thru Carthage glasses. Same view as seeing DCTF with a bias against Carthage? I hear that's the word but it's only coming from Carthage peeps. Pretty certain the view is quite different from a Mustang perspective. I have seen many many WO-S games in my lifetime and dirty is not their makeup.

Why can't Spence be on playoff roster?

Final 9-0 Houston Astros finish 81-81. West Champs. Never a doubt.

That's 8 West Division championships in last 10 years.

End 7 8-0 Stros

Final Arlington 4 Twins 6 Houston advances to the playoffs.

Mid 7 Astros 8 A's 0 End 8 Arlington 2 Twins 6

End 5 Astros 4 A's 0 Arlington 1 Twins 5

Well it is less than the average for this series. 😉

Thursday, Oct 1 North Shore at Humble [Hidden Content] Lufkin at New Caney [Hidden Content] Friday, Oct. 2 Baytown Lee at Nederland [Hidden Content] Kingwood Park at Montgomery [Hidden Content] Channelview at Crosby [Hidden Content] Splendora at Spring Woods [Hidden Content] Porter at West Fork [Hidden Content] Kingwood at Summer Creek [Hidden Content] Little Cypress-Mauriceville at Huffman [Hidden Content] Saturday, Oct. 3 CE King at Atascocita [Hidden Content]

Houston is starting Lambert today on just two days rest. Lambert started Thursday against the A's, going 2 and 2/3rds, giving up 4 runs on 6 hits (2 HR), 6 K's and 2 BB. A total of 62 pitches. Look for him to go no more than 3 innings today then bring in Sousa, Blubaugh, Hendrickson, Abreu and Hader. Hader hasn't pitched since Wednesday so he could go two innings if needed. With Wesneski going 7 innings last night, Houston didn't have to use any of their leverage guys out of the pen. Blanco pitched the last two innings giving up no runs on no hits, 3 K's. Sousa, Blubaugh and Hendrickson have not pitched since Friday. Sousa 5 pitches, Blubaugh 15, Hendrickson 4. Abreu hasn't pitched since Thursday going 1 1/3 with 14 pitches. In other words, Houston bullpen should be rested if one can say that in Game 162. A's are making it a bullpen day. They are starting reliever Seth Johnson. Johnson pitched against Houston on Friday. 1 IP, 1 H, 1 run, 1 K. He gave up a HR to Smith. Had a total of 16 pitches. His ERA on the season is 6.19. Houston will need to continue to produce runs like they did last night against an A's pitching staff that is the worst in the AL with a team ERA of 5.48. Houston has a team ERA of 4.48. In this current series with the A's the Astros have scored 25 runs in 3 games. Give me 8 runs by Houston today and I like our chances.
