    Ryan Tepera of the White Sox has entered the PPP, Pitcher Protection Program, joining the A's Mike Fiers as hurlers that will be given false injury reports and medical evaluations so that they no longer will have to face the Astros for the remainder of their career.

    Rockets fans shouldn't hate on Chris Paul, they should hate on James Harden and Daryl Morey for shoving him out the door, blaming him for everything. Now they can both sit back and watch HIM play for a chip. LOVE HIS RESURECTION STORY!

    I'm absolutely beyond words. The greatest coach I've ever been lucky enough to work with, befriend and learn from just mentioned me in his Hall of Fame speech. Rudy T. You are an incredible, class act and I can't thank you enough. My daughter heard it live! You made my year!

    Seattle fans cheering Springer getting hit, then booing him trying to get up and Walk it off, is BUSH LEAGUE! Show some class.

    The Rockets are killing it in Free Agency and ESPN spends 45 seconds on them and 3 segments on the Lakers. Sounds about right.

    RIP to a real one in Houston media, Fred Faour. From the Chronicle to the Blitz and Gow media, he was one of a kind. Very sad

    WHAT UP H-TOWN?! After 10 years at Gow Media/ESPN 97.5FM, yesterday was my last day with the station. Due to budget cuts, tough decisions had to be made, and now I pivot and move forward! I'll keep ya posted, but ride with me, wherever the road takes us next. I appreciate y'all!

    RIP to the "Voice of the Rockets" Gene Peterson. Geno was truly one of a kind, a franchise legend and a big reason why I ended up in H-town with the @HoustonRockets My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and the entire family.
