    This will never be a headline.

    If there were the journalist-type out there wouldn't this be clever in lieu of?

    I'm so tired of reading, "Houston we have a problem" and invariably if we had lost we would have seen the headline all over place.

    So am I a genius, or are journalists not really that creative.

    I always think the Houston we have a problem thing is stuipd anyways...

    it was said as astronauts telling Houston that THEY have a problem..

    I'll see a fan in another ball park with the sign.. and I think...

    you have a problem?

    Houston YOU have a problem might make sense, but not houston WE have a problem

    Oh, Jesus. After viewing this thread, I jokingly suggested "Houston, we have no problem" to the baseball editor, who was soliciting ideas for an NLDS summary trading card. He loved it. He's going with that for the headline on the card.

    WHAT HAVE I DONE? KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

    OK, there's plenty of GRAMMAR and REFLEXIVE verb conjugation here.

    I don't think I have anything FUNNY to say about it, other than.. ummm... I will NOT be CAPITALIZING words to EMPHASIZE anymore. :/

    You know using somethign about the killer B's would probably have been more appropriate. The best one would have been something like Astros Chop the Braves or Astros stop the chop.

    He wanted something really corny. *sigh* I'm still trying to dissuade him from using that terrible headline.

    I also tried "All your base are belong to Beltran," but he didn't understand it.

    Try to put that phrase into a search engine and see how many times it pops up.

    So you think it is creative if you can borrow the phrase from somewhere else? Especially one as old as this?
