Friday, the team will announce plans for a promotion titled “It’s Your Call,” by which fans can audition for a full-time job as roving reporter for the Astros’ radio network.

“We want to convince people to enjoy the journey with us,” Postolos said. “We’re taking steps each day to move this forward, and we appreciate the support we have.”
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

I've finally found my calling.

Y'know, either you're a fan or you aren't. And if you aren't, get the f*** outta here, because we are and you're just in the way. --Ron Brand

First prize goes to whomever works in the phrase "one hit? we only got one goddamn hit?"
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

“We want to convince people to enjoy the journey with us,” Postolos said.

We want to convince them because they are damn sure not going to do it on their own.

“We’re taking steps each day to move this forward, and we appreciate the support we have.”

This conjures a picture of an old guy in a walker.

For me, it conjured up stories of PT Barnum and his statement "There's a sucker born every minute."
"If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed."

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. "
