NEWS SHOCKER #1: People very much like the Texans, who played one of 16 regular season games as playoff favorites on a Sunday afternoon on a channel that everyone receives.
NEWS SHOCKER #2: People don't like the Astros that much, who played the 148th game of the regular season almost 50 games under .500 on a Saturday evening on a channel that they probably don't receive.
That said, 984 households watched the Astros vs. Angels on Saturday evening, representing a season-/franchise-low 0.043 Nielsen rating.
God bless you 984 households (I watched).
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
