Commentary’s political page continues to be the source to go to see who’s running in the upcoming City of H-Town elections. With eight candidates running in District B and seven in At-Large 2, we are for sure going to have a run-off in early December.
No word yet on what is going to happen with the red light cameras though one of the District C candidates came out in opposition. Of course, most of the neighborhoods in District C supported the cameras. It could play well in some ‘hoods and play not so well in other ‘hoods. Stay tuned!
Kirk Gibson of course won the 1988 NL MVP Award wearing the Dodger blue.
The Rangers are in town for three as the ‘Stros approach the halfway point of the season, err miserable season. I’m sure there will be a lot of Ranger fans at The Yard tonight but that’s OK with me since they are probably fellow Texans. I’m sure they’ll enjoy checking out a game with the AC turned on.
