    How about Space Mavericks, that way we use all of Dallas' team names.

    Space Cadets would have also been totally awesome.

    Well.... There goes the 7th inning "There's a Skeeter on my Peter" crowd sing-a-long.

    The Texans were winning? Must have dozed off for like 10 minutes and missed it

    At least with Space Rangers, you could use Vato as a mascot from Clements High

    It's been a while since I lived in Htown, so excuse my ignorance, but isn't Sugar Land about 30 direct miles from NASA? 70 miles on the good ol' Houston roads?

    The Sugar Land Auslanders?

    The Sugar Land Imperials? (this was my choice)

    Imperials would have been my choice too but the Astros didn't care about a Sugar Land related theme for the name. Had to be space related. Although Imperials is space related in a galaxy far far away.

    Imperials is such a perfect name that nobody in corporate (look back at that thread) America would ever consider it.

    Also, as an aside, didn't the Skeeters have the worst attendance in AAA-West this past season?

    Imperials is good. Sugar Daddies would have been interesting.

    It's a good name, but sounds terrible with Sugarland

    Worst name ever. Would rather them be called the "Spacers" or anything else like maybe the "Space Invaders".
