And @zacharylevine Astros will reveal a new mascot to replace Junction Jack this offseason. Contest to determine the body inside.

Better.

In Oregon courts that is referred to as a 'sentencing'. I guess the Astros are referring to it as a 'contest' as to avoid potential 'cruel and unusual punishment' allegations in a Harris County court?!?

I'm expecting the new mascot to be a giant Nolan Ryan head, with arms and legs and a Rangers cap.

Wow, how modest of Nolan, to make himself one of 4 "Texas Legends". Good Lord.

No Fucking Shit. Nolan ain't dead yet. Or even retired. That's some silly shit going on there in Arlington. Hahaha.

I bet a bunch of male dancers who looked like Ausmus would be popular among certain segments of the population. They could call them the Ausmussers.

I still miss Orbit. Once when I had too much dome foam and began to rant I ran into Orbit and he remained cheerful and really listened. Even gave me a hug, which was rather brave under the circumstances. Its a shame that those yiffing photos that bastard Junction Jack acquired were used to blackmail Orbit and force him into retirement. It's funny but I think people are more tolerant now and Orbit might have held onto his job even if the images became public.
