Just Who Exactly Was Watching The Astros On Sunday Afternoon?

On Sunday, with the rebuilding Astros taking on the playoff-bound Cincinnati Reds, only 1,092 households tuned into the broadcast. I didn’t leave off a zero either, out of 2.1 million televisions in the metropolitan area, only 1,092 turned the game on.

So, just who exactly was watching:

203 relatives watched the game out of familial commitments.
177 relatives put the game on as the smaller image in “Picture-In-Picture.”
127 people put the game on to make a political statement. About what, we have no idea.
124 people turned the game on and fell asleep, rousing once during the fifth inning.
88 people live-tweeted the game.
80 people watched to see what Jose Altuve would do.
73 people were flipping channels, found an interesting commercial, and then left the room.
62 people were too lazy to change the channel when their remote batteries died.
53 team employees were contractually obligated to watch the game.
47 team employees were not contractually obligated to watch, but it would have been really awkward the next day if they didn’t.
29 teenagers turned on the game when they heard their parents coming into the room.
17 toddlers accidentally turned the game on while trying to get to Nickelodeon.
9 people wanted to see Carlos Corporan.
3 people turned on, tuned in, and dropped out.
