Hoist the banner high, mateys!
« on: October 27, 2009, 03:40:19 pm »
This coming offseason, I'd like to consider your opinions on banners we should fly over head of our TZ.  I'm open to whatever suggestions (within reason) that you're willing to give.  Post your input in this thread if you'd like.  I will be the final judge of what is an awesome suggestion as well as what is insane.  The best ones will be pertinent and well thought out banners (that speaks more about the Astros team with a smattering of who we are) with more than just a little bit of humor mixed in.

Humor = making fun of the Cubs
Non-humor = making fun of Alkie

Thank you and let'em fly boys, let's see what ya got!

The 2009 Houston Astros... STILL better than the Pirates!

Michael Bourn had as many playoff homers as Albert Pujols!

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam.

I didn't think anyone could ruin that record for me but you're doing a hell of a job. Now I'm going to fucking have nightmares about that stone faced bitch coming to get me through the bathroom window.

You, sir, shall be hearing from my solicitor.

This morning I was standing downstairs with my painting contractor chatting of this and that when I suddenly realized that last night I'd indeed had a nightmare. Rather than Pam the subject of the nightmare was George W. Bush. I haven't yet been able to remember exactly what that rascal was doing but given what I know about the man there would seem to be a relatively fecund reservoir of possibilities.

Was he buying the Astros and re-hiring Cecil Cooper, with Tom Hicks as GM?

Couple of less funny ones:

- Nothing breeds clubhouse chemistry like winning.
- Roy Oswalt, shaddup shuttin' up.
- That ball should have been playable
- Your 2009 Astros, Icing down the elbow.  (for now)
- Your 2010 Astros, Goin' into the windup.  (for spring)

The 2010 Houston Astros- we beat a pointed stick in the eye.

Or maybe...

The 2010 Houston Astros- making your brains hurt.



...or... I dunno... maybe the cold medicine's finally getting to me. I actually like Mr. Happy's entry.
