NO STAR POWER: In Houston, David Barron wrote FS Houston drew a 0.3 rating for last Friday's Astros-Cubs game, with Saturday drawing a 1.5 and a 0.9 on Sunday. There was a time when a "single Astros-Cubs game would rate 4.7, but that was when the Astros were a competent team and when Fox Sports Houston ...was still promoting the product." The Astros are moving to Comcast SportsNet Houston in '13 (CHRON.com, 7/2).
