I'm still trying to figure out why ESPN2 has it blacked out, and FSN refuses to put it on FSNHD?!?! I can't stand listening to/watching the tv in standard definition.

No run support for Roy O. I can't believe all the hooplah for Tejada, and "El Caballo," Berkman. Those blowhards couldn't even eek out a run for on of the most underrated pitchers in baseball today.

Tejada had 2 hits, really the only bright spot. Oswalt didn't have his best stuff but he kept the stros in the game. Problem was Peavy, he's going to make a lot of lineups look bad this year.

lol, one game in and one of the best lineups in the national league is now a bunch of "blowhards" because they couldn't put up runs on one of the best pitchers in the league.

I watched every game on TV yesterday in preparation of the Astros game at 9. Then, out of nowhere, ESPN2 became ESPNews.... I could have about killed the cable company. I need to go back to DirectTv so I can get Fox Sports Houston.

I've been an Astros fan since I was born, literally. But last season's offensive drought, yesterday's game just looked a little too much like the low/no run scoring games from last year.
