To be fair, it says "important moments," not "top players." Burke's playoff HR was pretty dang important.

Ah. I thought they were all separate categories.  That was indeed a fun moment.

Would it be environmentally irresponsible to start a campaign urging people to burn their Nolan Ryan dolls in effigy? Maybe we should just dress them up in a little business suit and piss on them?

I am sick and fucking tired of the Astros treating Nolan Ryan like he fucking walks on water.  He renounced his Astros-ship.  Fuck him.

If they did, it would have Jim Crane in place of Robin Ventura.

The ongoing sexual enslavement by Bud Selig, the annual tributes to Ryan, the playing of "Sweet Caroline"--is there another franchise in the wide world of sports so debased as Houston's temporary National League team?  Makes a fellow proud to be an Astro.

Even Berkman gets it (from Houston Baseball Dinner)

"I would like to thank the Houston Lone Stars for this award," Berkman said. "What? They didn't approve that? It's still the Astros?"
