OFF DAY with Ballpark Nation

Astros took 5-6SEC might bounceTrump disrespects the fallen. 

The McCullers LegacyThe Graham LegacyGernal state of the world stuff....

The Astros take a bigseries from the Rays. Is Houston about to make a blockbuster run at Tarik Skubal? We break down FIFA's controversial red card reversal, and yes... we investigate the mystery of The Sheep Detective. Sports. Politics. Pop culture. Whatever else comes up.

Happy Birthday, America.This week on OFF DAY:Team USA marches on.Trump's State Fair is falling apart....literally.Emmanuel Acho has thoughts — and so do we.And Burrows and Imai? Astros won't win? That’s why....Sports, culture, chaos, and a little red, white, and blue.

Supergirl is invulnerable to everything but Kryptonite and incels.Caitlin Clark is getting mugged on national TV, and the WNBA keeps acting like it’s part of the game plan.The Astros are one game back — October still seems far away.America’s 250th birthday is coming, but where’s the excitement? Or did Trump manage to steal that too?And finally: soccer is life.

The Astros are back in it, MLB owners are already telling us exactly who they are, Sorsby is still sitting at home, and we’re asking the real question: do we actually care about high school football recruiting?Then we hit Big Bend desecration, democratic socialism, and our first trip into Texas Volts pro softball.It’s sports, culture, nonsense, and probably a few bad opinions — which means it’s time for OFF DAY.
