The banner on astros.com displays the blasphemous conceit "We are YOUR Astros". A more insulting pile of bullshit I can not imagine. Here's what MLB thinks,
"Listen,” (the unnamed MLB) official said on Tuesday, “we understand that Houston has been a National League city for (50) seasons, and there’s some resistance about moving. We also understand there could be some damage (to the franchise), ...

We understand, we just don't care. Take the team, leave the name.

First rule of selling is to ensure that all objections are gone prior to closing. The first thing to do when presented with an objection is to acknowledge or empathise with that objection...

I think these are my favorites. Brilliant.

"ferret" is being serious, and I agree with him. The team is now completely detached from the "Astros" and the name "Astros" should be retired. I think the news media, at least outside Houston, would be forced to cover any organized effort to ask this to happen. The publicity would shine a light on the subterfuge here. The Chronicle is beyond redemption, of course.

Nolan's Bitch
I Like This One. Fits on a bumper sticker. Succinct and to the point. But Nolan Ryan's excited, and that's what counts.

Change the name
Done.

Nolan's Bitch
The Houston Bitches... with a cute little French poodle as a mascot.
The Houston Slaves... with a... uh, how un-PC do we want to be? as a mascot. I guess we could settle for the South Park character.
The Houston Cattle... with a nice thick, juicy steak as a mascot.
-
Done.
I love the reinforcement provided by the caption under your avatar.

The Houston Squeal - Ned Beatty as mascot - scoreboard feature where mascot squeals like a pig when opposing team homers

You ass... In ruminating over all of the doomsday scenarios common occurrences that will result from the Astros moving to the AL West, it had not even occurred to me that I will now have to hear the theme from the Natural 9 games a season (instead of the 3 games previously). That is, until your post... Please know that I hate you!!!

Underrated suggestion.

I've wondered about a name change since they moved into the new park. There are an awful lot of "Houston baseball" marks where you'd expect to see "Astros" (on seats, places like that).

Houston Whores
Logo - A naked Jim Crane bathing in a bathtub full of 70 one million dollar bills while being surrounded by some crying fans holding a National League flag. In the corner of the logo, Bud Selig watches Crane and masturbates.
Houston Hot Carls
Logo - Our beloved Astrodome positioned directly underneath Bud Selig's squatting ass.
Houston Glory Holes
Logo - Jim Crane on one side, a pleased Bud Selig on the other.

Seriously, Don Flamenco, maybe I'd expect him to be so scurrilous...but Von Kaiser? Well, I just thought he'd be above that.

God damn. I come in here, recognize the reference, and build on it without being SO FUCKING OBVIOUS, and here you come and just shit all over it. Thanks a lot, Ebby!

They made a new version of that for Wii a couple of years ago. It's surprisingly fun. Much more fun than what's been happening to us Astros fans lately.
