Early voting has started in Texas, & lasts through 10/31. Election Day is 11/4. Every election, & every vote, is important.

Fox using Grateful Dead’s Touch of Grey going to break after Max Scherzer completes 5 innings in a turn-back-the-clock performance is a stroke of brilliance.

Ace Frehley’s version of New York Groove is the best version. RIP.

The season ended sooner than we would’ve liked, but I still feel privileged to call Houston Astros baseball. Appreciate everyone tuning in all season long. Looking forward to 2026!

Here's what it sounded like on SportsTalk790 as Jeremy Peña flashed the leather to secure the #Astros sweep over the Mall Cops. Cheers @raford3.bsky.social! “How about that?”

‘Bout to listen to the rest of the game on an airplane. It means a 70% chance of a win based on past performance. 🤷‍♀️#Astros @raford3.bsky.social

It's Aaron Judge this, Cal Raleigh that, but no one is talking the kind of year Nolan Jones is having

Bobby Shantz started - & won - the first game in Colt .45s/Astros history. An entertaining read.

Former Astros pitcher Corbin Martin, now on the Orioles, is best friends with Colton Cowser’s older brother Ty. They all went to Cy Ranch HS, where Colton & Ty’s dad Dale was an assistant principal.

Can’t say I expected to hear Luck of Lucien by A Tribe Called Quest while at the gym today. Well done, Miami!

46 years ago this week, The Sugarhill Gang released “Rapper’s Delight”—the first rap single to crack the Billboard Hot 100 and a game-changer for hip-hop. 14 minutes that started a movement.

We are going to win tonight. Traveling back from Rome. When I work travel and stream MLB audio —we win. 🤷‍♀️. #astros @raford3.bsky.social

Not me spending an off-day having delicious soul food in Boston while updating MLB Trade Rumors & social media…

Future Hall of Famer Dusty Baker to manage Nicaragua in World Baseball Classic 2026

Rich Hill Facts will never stop being entertaining. In his Major League debut, he was one of the pitchers who relieved Greg Maddux. In Maddux's Major League debut, the starting CF for the opposing Astros was 41-year-old Davey Lopes, who was born in 1945.

I could not.

Turns out the bombs bursting in air tonight in LA on the 4th of July were the Astros’ bats. 18 runs, 11 extra-base hits, including 5 home runs - 2 by Dodgers fan favorite Jose Altuve. Largest Dodgers loss ever at Dodger Stadium.

What's wrong, babe? You've barely touched your soup-on-the-rocks

100 years ago today, Wally Pipp got Wally Pipped… Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games streak started the day before, when he pinch hit for Pee Wee Wanninger.

This was an enjoyable read.

Mariners radio broadcaster Rick Rizzs is one of the most relentlessly positive people I’ve ever met. Really appreciate him opening up about his son’s battle with addiction. www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-m...

Ian Eagle is one of the best to ever do this.

You may have heard Steve Sparks tell the story of a manager of a Pony League baseball team who was also a bank robber. Team included Rick Dempsey, Larry Yount, & Larry’s younger brother Robin was a batboy. Here’s an article about it. www.dailynews.com/2013/11/03/c...

Throwing hats on the ice when someone has a hat trick in hockey will never not be cool to me.

A.J. Blubaugh warmed up to the Rocky theme, for those scoring at home.

Yes, vs. the Dodgers. Tommy Lasorda pinch hit Larry See for his starting pitcher in the 3rd inning to break up the run. It worked.

From the Astros game notes. I’m sure many Astros fans remember that 1986 run. Scott’s no-hitter vs. the Giants clinched the NL West.

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

As one does. Love hearing about people listening to Astros radio in unusual or exotic locales!

Dave Flemming: The forecast is pretty good. Supposed to be a lot warmer tomorrow. Javier López: Told you. It's always sunny in Philadelphia.

Watching the Cardinals take BP at Busch Stadium while Nelly plays feels like peak St. Louis.
