Maybe it's their mannerisms or the way the speak but I firmly believe there's more than just a striking similarity in play here. Any chance Mr. Phillips was born in or around Annapolis? Can one of our Metmen reveal any covert trades made involving arms for cash which was then used to free Venuzuelan ballplayers from their oppressive Carribean League contracts?
um...nick? if i may call you that. we're gonna need you to choose random and borderline relevant movie titles for the heading of your posts, mmmkay? until such time as we change to random and borderline band names or book titles or microbrews.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is what separates us from blogs that are "sensible" and "popular" in nature.
ReplyDeleteBut to answer your questions, Steve Phillips was indeed involved in some Iran-contra type dealings. It's what brought us Benny Agbayani.
And now that I think about it, little buddy, I don't know that we need to impose our naming quirks on the newbies. (Our hazing process is much more brutal and alcoholic.) I can see Teejay not posting for weeks because he can't think of the right song title, and we need inertia like we need a hole in the head.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the different naming conventions will be how people tell us apart at MLC without having to scroll down to the bottom to see who wrote it?
as long as they choose random and borderline relevant titles, i suppose i'll live with it. it's a slippery goddamn slope, though.
ReplyDeleteWhit-
ReplyDeleteI am a bit uncomfortable with the kid glove treatment. Rob deserves a little repect here.
Rob-
Sorry about the faux pas, I was not aware of the protocol. This probably speaks volumes about the practice. ;)
technically, during the 2007 season, it was band names, and we (well, i) had to give each other (well, whit) a 6-pack every time we repeated a band.
ReplyDeletei sense strife.Maybe I can help.

i just realized I have come full circle. My comments are indistinguishable from spam. I am one with the interweb. Om.
ReplyDelete"E-mail My Heart"??? Really? I'd thought the Britney-bashing might be a bit over the top, but let the beatings resume. That's horrible.
ReplyDeleteYou won't see threads like this over at MetsGeek.
bombastic love? what? i don't even have a joke for that.
