Tell your boss you have an imaginary doctor’s appointment and head out to catch the Astros in the last of their four-game home stand against the L.A. Dodgers. Yes, the Astros are a few games out of first place, but hey, it’s Thursday afternoon and there’s a game going on. Get out there and cheer for them anyway. 1:05 p.m. Minute Maid Park, 501 Crawford. For information, call 713-259-8000 or visit www.astros.mlb.com. $1 to $50.
June 30-July 2, 7:05 p.m.; Thu., July 3, 1:05 p.m., 2008
