My takeaway from this whole thing is that Crane is considerably smarter than Drayton. (Not much of an achievement.) Had it dawned on Drayton that he could go out to left field and suck corporate cock for money he would have soft-shoed it as 'tradition' and acted surprised that anyone objected. Crane's bright enough to seek cover in the shade of a ramshackle Fifth Ward sno-cone stand.

Supposedly, the Astros aren't making anything on it. Right. |

I wonder who's going to get to sponsor the other side of the sign, the side that says You stupid necks paid $10,000 to rent the roof and now you can't see shit! |

They'll sell both sides of the sign, don't you know. |

They'll put a giant LED screen on the other side, of course! |

I can't decide on how to vote about removing the train. I'd still like it replaced with a giant art car.

Not sure if you're being facetious, but personally I am 100% in favor of this franchise shifting their motif back towards space travel. You know... actually have something to do with their namesake. |

It might have something to do with their namesake, but nothing to do with their city anymore. |

I'm dead serious. I think a cool retro-future space age thing would be original and look cool if done properly. |

Unfortunately not, but it's a historical thing. Otherwise the Steelers would need to change their name too! |
