The listings here in Houston showed that the Hooks were on FSN at 7.  I haven't actually checked yet to see if the game is on.

They are.  0-0 top of 1st.

Can someone tell me who is calling the game with Dierker?  Thanks.

HUH?  Looks like Patton to me.  You must be referring to the RR Express game.  The Corpus Christi Hooks are on FSN at my house.

They picked a good night to show the Hooks.  Hooks up 9-1 in the bottom of the 3rd. 

It is a little confusing to root against the team in red shirts and grey pants.

For some reason my girlfriend's basic (read: non-FSN-carrying) cable in San Antonio carries Bravo.  I doubt it's supposed to.

I watched it for maybe a year and a half before I realized who the target demographic is.  Somewhere between an episode of Six Feet Under and Project Runway it hit me like a ton of Uli's floral patterned material.

I sure was pulling for Marcel in season 2 when he made that pineapple foam, though.  NTTAWWT.

I was hooked on the show the first time I saw Padma Lakshmi. Salman Rushdie is a very blessed man.

Oh yes, the women. That's a good reason to watch too. Ha ha. Yes. Of course.

That's Sir Salman Rushdie to you, assuming that the howls of protest from Iran and Pakistan fall on deaf ears.

If your HDTV has a built-in QAM tuner, you can watch your neighbor's on-demand PPV purchases...

Free movies, but you don't get to choose them.  I have been poking around Houston's TW feed and I got the Rangers game in HD Monday night on 78-6 (I don't pay for HD packages, but I have the same box described in the article).

I like HELLS KITCHEN better. Chef Ramsey is a COMPLETE ASSHOLE, I love it.

Funny though, I had a very adverse reaction to Ramsey's show.  And most, if not all, of his contestants were spineless.  One of them, just one, should've just hauled off and beat the living crap out of the guy and then walked away to become the next realityshow-to-semi-celeb-Kato-Kailen-star.  Now *THAT* is reality!  Seemed too predictable and staged to me.

As far as Top Chef is concerned, I love the show and I don't know why.  I don't really like the other three variety of the show (Top Interior Designer - "see you later decorator"?!?! Oh come on! and Top Dressmaker and Top Hair Salon Person... no thanks!).  But this Top Chef show has me hooked.  "I'm not your bitch... bitch!" uttered by Dave in season 2 was just awesome and I've watched ever since.  Season 2 winner (Harold) breaking down right before the final show and drinking from a flask... heavily... because his nerves were absolutely shot was distrubing and interesting all at the same time.  Season 3's meltdown by the LA ghetto cook was awesome too: "Put your dick back into your pants man, I ain't impressed!"

This new group of candidates?  I like the 6'9" chef myself, but he seems to be the odds on favorite to be the "blends into the crowd" candidate, even at 6' 9".  This year, they got hot women too and they're in South Beach.  I know there will be a "cook with your best bikini on without spattering yourself with hot grease" challenge at some point in this season.  Bet on it! (Oh, and that will go for the men too since this is Bravo).

Which is why, for the life of me, I can't figure out how The West Wing reruns ended up on Bravo.

here's what the press releases say, "Larry Dierker will join Round rock broadcaster Mike Capps and Corpus Christi broadcaster Matt Hicks to provide commentary..."

Musta been Hicks, then. 

I can hardly listen to Capps without turning green with envy and jealousy.  I'd give Alkie's left nut to have him instead of Milo.
