After an intriguing six-week run, season one of The Brady Bunch- Astros' Edition will come to a close Friday afternoon at 4 pm (Central Time).  The ground breaking program included mystery, medicine, comedy and drama.

Following are the lyrics to the show's theme song.  Thanks to the karaoke version at this link, you can sing along while you wait for the final episode to air.

THE BRADY BUNCH- Astros' Edition

Here's a story of a kid named Brady

Who was pitching and wowing all  the scouts

He was every GM's dream, a can't miss prospect

A future star no doubt

Here's the story of the Houston Astros

Just a baseball team hoping for some wins

They were young and they needed talent

To reach the top again

"Til the one day when the Astros drafted Brady

Unaware his pitching ligament was gone(or mostly gone?)

And this tale which started out so simply

Kept going on and on

The Brady Bunch

The Brady Bunch

That's the way they became the Brady Bunch

Going to a Skeeters' Game Could Save You 23 Minutes

I recently heard Charlie Pallilo on SportsTalk 790 in Houston criticizing the length of Major League baseball games. His launching point was an Astros' game in Anaheim that didn't finish until close to 1 a.m. Houston time.

Upon hearing Pallilo's comments, I remembered that the Atlantic League, which includes the Sugar Land Skeeters, made efforts last season to speed up their games.  The goal of the initiative was to make games more fan friendly.

My understanding is that the Atlantic League's procedures to quicken the game are still being used this season. In light of this fact, I decided to research the length of games thus far in 2014 to see how long those contests are lasting at Minute Maid Park and Constellation Field.

Based on the box scores, here is what I found:

The Astros have played 25 home games so far in 2014.  These games have taken a total of 4869 minutes. Taking into account extra innings, the average nine innings at Minute Maid Park have lasted 3:13.

Through Wednesday's contest, the Skeeters have played 13 home games so far in 2014.  These games have taken a total of 2235 minutes.  Taking into account extra innings, the average nine innings at Constellation Field have lasted 2:50.
