The Houston Astros May Change Their Team Name In 2013 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Astros fans will be able to bring their own food and water to games this season, reversing a longstanding ban that had given Minute Maid Park a notorious distinction among major league ballparks.

Some ticket prices will fall and $5 domestic beer will be sold throughout the ballpark, other measures in a package of fan-friendly measures new owner Jim Crane unveiled Monday. Even more drastic changes could come next year, when the club moves to the American League.

Possible transformations include new uniforms and logos, changes to the playing field and “Tal’s Hill” in center and even a re-evaluation of the name “Astros,” which the team has used for the last 47 years of a 50-year history.

“We’re taking a look at everything,” Crane said when asked about the potential name change. “We’re going to do a study on it. We’re going to study the information, both from our fans and from all sorts of marketing people. I’m not saying we’re going to change. We haven’t made a decision. If the change is going to come, it’s going to come next year.”

And what exactly would be a better name than the "Astros" (they're called that because of Houston's space program)!? They've already changed their name once before after starting out as the Colt 45's.

Astros in the AL?

If so...this is how the AL should be formed....

Toronto Blue jays
Tampa Rays

Central
Chicago White Sox
Cleveland Indians
Detroit Tigers
Houston ???
Minnesota Twins

West
Kansas City Royals
Los Angles Angels
Oakland Athletics

I figured that, I just couln't resist giving another team a goofy name.

Does anybody else have fun names for the other teams?

Cleveland Browns?

When many thought of the name prior to 1995...they were dedicated to the coach Paul Brown.

Now...as The "Browns" play like ****...they seem to be called the Browns because of the way they play!
