Texans Need A Get Right Game & Paul’s Picks

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/10/08

On this episode of the Paul-cast, we preview the Houston/Titans game even though we temporarily forgot where it’s being played and we’re losing our voice. (Fatherhood has really done a number on Paul.) While trying not to worry about the Texans we find some solace in the fact that HC Demeco Ryans is resuming defensive play-calling duties on Sunday. We also take a look at who we think are going to win all the game in week 5. Paul has 40 wins on the season but thinks listening to his gut is going to

Texans Lose in 4th Again! 0-4 And We Hate It

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/10/06

The Houston Texans celebrated their 25th year…by losing a game at home to the mid Dallas Cowboys. After a great first half, the Texans defense sputtered and let up a game winning drive to the Cowboys potent offense. Is this defense the biggest problem or is it just a personnel problem due to the fact that all three starting linebackers were injured this game? We try to break down why the linebacker play was most likely the culprit this week, but the team’s inconsistent play has put everybody in the

Houston Astros Season Is Done/Paul’s Picks Week 4

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/10/01

Expectation weren’t too high going into the series, but the Astros proved our fears to be correct when they just didn’t have enough starting pitching to compete in a wild card series with the Pope-powered White Sox. We quickly recap the games, but more importantly talk about the emotional roller coaster that has been being an Astros fan this season and talk about emotions without getting too emotional! The most frustrating thing to Paul, however, might be special guest Sherlock Domes who helps play

2026/09/28

Your 2026 Houston Astros have avoided a losing record and claimed the AL West on the 162nd game of the season. A long roller-coaster of emotions have finally ended, just for the ride that is the playoffs to begin. In this episode we talk about Lucas Spence and the last week for your Astros. And we welcome bandwagon fans as we play “Who Are These People?!” to introduce unfamiliar faces to new fans. As we laugh and enjoy the Astros we also realize we have to talk about the Texans. The Texans have

It’s time to submit your pickems picks and we’re here to help. We take a look back at our track record this season and forge ahead to try to pick the winners for the third week of this NFL season. The Texans go to Indy to try to pick up their first week of the season. We go over keys to winning the game and talk Stroud and Caserio. A little early for the blame game but H-Town is pacing in anger for another slow start for a team with high expectations. Will the O-line get better? We hope so. After

Texans Struggles/Astros Swept

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/09/21

The Houston Texans lost to the Bengals 20-6 in a confusing offensive game. CJ Stroud was able to pass for 353 yards, but no wide receiver had more than 37 yards. The running game was nonexistent, special teams was sad, and no touchdowns were to be had. The Texans starting off slow has become common but fans are getting irritated by another lack-luster offensive performance. Where are you placing most of the blame, H-Town? If that’s not enough to get you frustrated: the Astros got swept by the

Come on and all to witness a spectacular feat of strength as one man tries to choose all of the winners in NFL week 2 while holding a baby and chasing a dog! Move over Evil Knieval, there’s a new daredevil in town. Paul looks back at his week one picks and tries to move forward to week 2. We break down the keys to improvement for the Houston Texans as they host another offensive powerhouse in the Bengals. And then look at the Houston Astros as they frustratingly maintain a mid season…One more game

Tough Sunday in H-Town: Texans & Stros Lose Tough Ones

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/09/14

Welcome, new subscribers! The Scapegoat Hunt has already begun in Houston, but Space Cadet is here to tell you: cálmate. The Texans offense was able to compete with the Bills offense, that’s a good sign right? Also, the defense had some struggles against a great offense so maybe we can dial back the anger in hopes that improvements on both sides of the ball can show themselves and help get those dubs. But am I being too optimistic or is the internet being too reactionary? We might not have too many

Paul’s Picks - NFL Week 1/Astros Still Hanging On

Foosball’s the devil and it’s back, so that’s probably why it’s so hot everywhere. Paul’s Picks are back, baby! And it’s time for Paul & Carla to try to pick the good teams from the bad ones and for you to chuckle at our attempts. We pick winners for all the games in week one and try to explain how the Houston Texans will beat the Bills. We promise it’s not just because we’re homers! Then we talk about a team that needs more homers, the Astros. Pitching is looking stronger recently, but the lineup

We hope your ears are hungry because this episode is packed full of ‘tent! Your Houston Astros took three games in a four game series with the 2nd seeded White Sox and are looking to keep the momentum going! We take a look at pitching woes and the hopeful solution and list all 18 starters the Astros used this season (that’s why the episode is so long). Then we take a look at the Houston Texans 53-man roster and practice squad moves before we take a look at the team’s offensive line. This year looks

Astros Bounce Back In New York

2026/08/31

Welcome new listeners and readers! (If you’re here because of my ridiculous internet jokes I do have a comedy sub too! Check it out at spacecadetpaul) Ok, shameless plug over. Your Houston Astros had one of the worst weeks of the decade—at least from a narrative standpoint—last week. But the Stros brought their offense with them to Broadway, because all of a sudden they look formidable again! I haven’t been on a see-saw since I was in elementary school, but I’m pretty sure this is what it felt like

Astros GM Dana Brown Fired/Manager Joe Espada Won’t...

2026/08/24

The Houston Astros announced this morning that Dana Brown is no longer the GM of the team and shortly after it was announced that Joe Espada was told he was not going to be returning to the team next season. Espada was given the choice of remaining with the team until the end of this season or leaving now. The current Astros manager chose to stay with the team, despite currently dealing with an undisclosed family situation. While the Astros needed a shake up, it’s head-scratching that the moves were

Wow, it took a lot to get a pod out this week; so bless our mess! The Astros lost a tough series to the division-thorn-in-our-side Mariners but have an opportunity to make up ground with back-to-back series against the Angels and A’s. Is this offense as lackluster as it feels? Is the pitching actually turning a corner? We look at some numbers and take some guesses on today’s pod—all while carrying a baby!

Astros Have Must Win Series Coming Up

2026/08/14

The Astros have been up and down so far in August and Yordan Alvarez has been human, but do they have what it takes to solidify their lead in the AL West by winning some series this upcoming week? To quote The Mask, “I’d like to think so!” Sorry this podcast has taken a bit to get out but better late than never…right? We talk about the up and down month and what the Astros need to secure a playoff spot going forward. We also discuss the Houston Texans returning to the field with some pre-season

A Look At The Astros After The Trade Deadline

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/08/04

Astros fans may be a little disappointed after a quiet trade deadline, but we kinda expected a slow one here at the pod. We say goodbye to Spencer Arrighetti and hello to Daulton Varsho on this episode and take a look back on a six-game run that ended with he start of the series with Astros trade partner, the Toronto Blue Jays. Could this be enough to keep the Astros on top of the AL West? With or without a trade haul, the Astros are going to have to win series for the next couple of months. With

Astros Slowly Climbing AL West

Your Houston Astros are currently in second place in the AL West and have a chance to take first if they can get consistent and make moves at the trade deadline. A nice 5 game winning streak and sitting back and letting the Angels beat themselves help, but they’re going to have to figure out their starting rotation yet again with Spencer Arrighetti going to the IL with a foot injury. Also, can the offense (outside of Yordan Alvarez) find consistency too, please? We take a look at the last week for

Astros Stumbling After All-Star Break

The Houston Astros were swept by the Orioles in their first series back from the break and the vibes are bumming us out, fam. The Stros could only muster 2 runs a game for the series and we need another bat ASAP. Hopefully, the Marlins series will help the team get right but health and a trade are desperately needed. In this episode we ponder if the panic meter needs to be busted out and look at the pitchers before producer Baby Catarina wakes up from her nap! Here’s hoping they get that swag back

Mr. Bury-Me-In-The-H is traded in a bittersweet day for Houston Astros fans. LHP Colton Gordon is also moved in the deal that sends INF Jayden Fielder and cash considerations to Houston. LMJ will remain a Houston legend forever, but maybe this tough news will be easier to swallow if the Astros are freeing up finances for a big trade to help this team get over the .500 hump. The Astros have been inconsistent this season, but is there reason for optimism at the trade deadline if the team is just a

On this episode Space Cadet returns to discuss what impact three of the team’s top stars can have on the success of the team. Spoiler: the impact should be huge! Can the Astros get right with more consistency? We’ll see, but we are optimistic about it on this podcast.

The Rockets season has come to an end and the blame game has begun. But is it even worth it since there will be a lot of returning faces next season? Then we check in with the Astros, while trying to remember that it’s still May and there’s more baseball to be played. Is there enough time and health for the season to turn around
