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.

Then we need an Andruw Jones bobble-wall, too.

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?

Son-of-a-bitch. When are they going to have the Jim Crane Bobble-Head night in Arlington?
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

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.
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.

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.

Nolan gets Jim Crane Bobble-Head whenever he wants it...

Makes sense. Selig's got the other end.

Even Berkman gets it (from Houston Baseball Dinner)

Quote
"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?"
