Title: Okay, you get a vote
Post by: Noe on June 04, 2007, 01:39:52 pm
This is borderline reality show with this one, but it's an off day and looks like we're done bitching about Tim Purpura.  But I'm sure that you haven't really released all that anger and hostility yet.  So aim it at me if you'd like.  I'm cool with it.  Here is my offer to you for a vote:

1. Yes or No: remove the current banner motif to have absolutely no more Houston Astros on it? This way we can once and for all remove the jinx I have placed on the players.  In this case Berkman and to a lesser extent Mr. Biggio.  Or should I just leave everything as is and say "screw it, we're riding this mutha out!".

2. Suggestion: What should be on the banner instead?  Scott Baio?  Meatloaf?  Nothing, just the name of the site?  Or a huge honking steaming pile of... frito pie!  You decide.

3. Punishment: For my sins of making Lance Berkman cry and summarily making the entire freaking Houston Astros organization cry, should I be punished by: frito pie consumption for a week?  Watch Scott Baio's new show for a week or two?  Eat meatloaf while listening the entire "Bat out of Hell" CD?  Continue working on my landscape project in my backyard?  I must warn you, the missus already voted and for the summer I am duty bound to finish what I started with the landscaping project.  It's going to be really nice and I'm half way through.  Nice garden motif with the possibility of a pond, maybe two.

Any way, just like those whack reality show, you get to vote so place your suggestions here as to what I should do.

I don't know what the content is, but the title of the new show has to be "Flip This Roster".

Put a picture of JD in his plaid jacket up there.  Was that an option?  If not, hows about we make it one.

I can't believe you think you control the fate of the astros.  That is Purp's job.

That's how I feel right now.  No Kevin and his gift of prophecy can help us now unless we're ready as a people who follow the Houston to put up or shut up!  Alkie tried to foolishly make a guarantee win prognostication the other day but there was no humility from any of us to help the guy out.  So no bravato before it's time.  Right now, it's sack cloth and ashes.  It's burnt offerings.  It is about getting right with the BBGs, showing a healthy respect for our... my sins!

I'm all in.

I like it.  Now if we could screen cap that one and then place a frito pie in his hand, we're in bidnezz!

last time we put Mr. Baio up there we did pretty good. I like the JD plaid jacket idea though. But I would hate to use up all of it's magic now. He's been doing that for a couple of years and I am sure we will need to use it in the future. What about that picture of that kid- Brave fan giving the finger? or will that taunt the BBG's?  Humm.....now for the sacrifice for the team...I have a Cardinals suck shirt but it didn't do it's magic this weekend and burned my skin just because it said Cardinals. I am thinking you may have to start out small with the chili pies. Or since we are chasing the Brewers eating Brats all week?

I still have an autographed Tony LaRussa picture that a Cardinals fan "friend" gave me as a wedding present during the '04 playoff run.  If that is of any use to the site, I will gladly offer it up.

Agreed. Feel free to use the Kevin as Moses pic (http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8756/kevredsea4mn.jpg) in his stead, as it appears El Jefe has again forsaken us. And rightly so, no doubt.

Kev, JD and the jacket, frito pie, Baio, Jennifer Love Hewitt, maybe a tall stack of flapjacks. These are sources of great mystical power.

Baio could score Hewitt.  Kevin could score gorditas.

I vote for a Lottery Prayer Candle motif for the banner.  Featuring the luminaries above and anything else deemed minor objects of worship...for instance, I'd add Skyline Chili.

It's obviously time for prayer.

Some of us have been praying for quite a while.  I get weird looks when I write the names of the 40-man roster in the prayer book at church.  (I don't really do that, but I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't write some of them down.)  I do pray for the guys though.

I suggest removing Berkman from the header and replacing him with Burke.  Other than that, I'm prepared to ride this baby out...

Burke eating a Frito Pie or doing a header into the CF turf?

With the ball about 4 feet away.

It would be great to have a Burke pic showing him in CF, flag pole behind him, eating a Frito Pie with the ball landing about ten feet behind him.

How about him stumbling up Tal's Hill eating a frito pie with the ball hitting behind him?

If Waldo would let me, I'd do that in Flash and just before the ball hit the ground, have Thunder Pants coming dashing from screen left to catch the ball in a full dive!

See, that is what I mean... I can't leave well enough alone.  Thanks for the pick me up, had I put T-Pants on the banner, Oh Deere Lowered... he might have his arms fall off his next at bat!

*whew*, that was close!
