We Are Your Astros: The 25 Rejected Slogans

For Sale! Cheap!

​The Astros' slogan for this year is "We Are Your Astros." Seeing this slogan is enough to make one think that Drayton McLane's wasting way too much money on advertising agencies. My second thought was that the guys at the Astros County blog had a much better slogan, "Infected With Rage."

That said, it is only now that we are discovering the other slogans that were pitched to Drayton, and rejected.

1. For Sale By Owner.

2. We Are Your Astros: So You Have Only Yourselves to Blame for the Higher Ticket Prices.

3. The Houston Astros: Carlos Lee's Bitch Since 2007.

4. Nolan Ryan Once Pitched For Us.

5. Steroids-Free Since 2009. We Think.

6. Seriously, Make Us An Offer, Any Offer.

7. These Are Your Astros: So Shut Up And Do Something About Carlos Lee's Contract Already.
