We all know that MLB baseball is full of superstitions. Commentary is thinking that last night’s 9 zip shellacking at the hands of MLB’s worst ballclub was probably the result of the recent price gouging and money grabbing directed at certain season ticket holders by the ‘Stros. The baseball gods at times can be unmerciful. We will see if they take it out on the team during the NLDS.
Commentary got a call yesterday by a fellow season ticket holder who also got gouged. We both happen to be Latino, just saying.
F__k the MLB question.
Commentary is thinking that promoting affordable housing in H-Town isn’t a vote getter. We don’t act on it. Here is from the Chron E-Board today:
A house is a house is a house is a house is a house, as architects like to say.
A housing bond, on the other hand, is apparently a gimmick. Or so the politicians admit.
Houston has been caught sitting on more than $30 million in bond approvals for affordable housing. No, money wasn’t misplaced – unlike the $46 million in TIRZ dollars that Chronicle reporters Rebecca Elliott and Mike Morris discovered in their “Lost Money” investigation.
The brain trust at City Hall that cooked up the scheme over the past 16 years, it seems, never intended to take advantage of the approvals in the first place. They put just affordable housing bonds on the ballot three times to gin up turnout for other issues and appease political pressure.

I guess folks that are in need of affordable housing don’t vote.
Commentary ran into a City Hall insider yesterday who told me the firefighters could very well win their election this November. Interesting.
The team is in Detroit today for a 3 game series that starts tomorrow. Maybe they will use their day off today to go check out the new flick “Detroit” which has a 100% rating today after 29 reviews on rottentomatoes.com.
