Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
David Dalati of 790 The Sports Animal is reporting, based on an interview with Ed Wade, that the Chicago Cubs will be flying to Houston for this weekend's scheduled series with the Astros.
And seeing as how our buddy Ike is currently supposed to hit on Friday night/Saturday morning, the current thinking -- though not yet official -- is that Friday night's game will, instead, be played Friday afternoon. I'm guessing that if Ike actually does wipe out Houston, then Saturday's game will be cancelled, and that instead games will be attempted on either Sunday or Monday.
And, of course, we'll give you more info as we get it. -- John Royal
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
