New Astros’ owner says he’s considering changing team name | HardballTalk

Key word being "might" but thought this could be fun to discuss.

Sugar Land Astros of Houston

Kinda the opposite of the Angels, give the namesake to the smaller city

but clarify it is from the city it actually resides in.

**X-Factor** · 01-23-2012, 10:15 PM

Houston Hellcats

do it.

**Captain Obvious** · 01-23-2012, 10:48 PM

Houston Oilers.

**X-Factor** · 01-23-2012, 11:39 PM

Houston Angels.

Maybe someone will get confused and they'll go to the playoffs.

I guess I need to make everything green. Figured you'd catch on. I apologize for giving you too much credit. Won't happen again.
