    Pinwheel1 is in honor of the orginal Blazer logo. (As oppossed to the later versions). I also use "Chairman" on Basketball Boards.com as in "Chairman of the Boards".

    Wanted to honor our Spanish players (which at the time I joined the BBF was only Sergio) - and I was sure as hell not going to be called Canary...

    I think I just said "call me Speed" and she said "call me Ace." I have no idea why. Hm. Good question.

    my favorite players are always playmakers (think Maradona), hence number 10.

    Relatively simple, Jacoby Ellsbury is my favorite Sox player. I've been thinking about changing it since Celtic season is upon us, but this name's caught on better than any other so I'll keep it.


    It has nothing to do with my real name, no way would I let my abomination of a name get out on the internet.

    Clearly, I'm a big Rudy fan. : )

    Let me just warn you all. I first had a screen name with Cheeks and he was gone after 2.5 years. I then switched my screen name to one with Darius in it, and he was gone after about 2.5 years. So if history is any indication of the future . . . we have 2.5 years to enjoy Oden.

    (I should note this all started with fantasy football, the league I'm in requires your team name has one of your players in the name)

    You hav my sympathies tonight. Doesn't look good for the Sox.

    The Rays are pretty phenomenal.

    Heh.


    I hope the Rays go absolutely apeshit on the field with champagne once they win, and the Sox are forced to stay out there and watch. Then clean up the mess. :lol:

    Well aware. Didn't he lead Oregon to a championship or something?

    It is Blazer 1. Up until last year there was a Blazer 2 also.

    I actually quite like the Red Sox. They just ran into a really talented team that is playing out of their minds. Overall, I'd say the Rays and Sox are about equally talented. One team is just on a hot streak.

    IMO, its a major choke job. They put themselves in unbelievable position after game 1, let a retarded umpire make a game-changing call in game 2, and (for some reason) became traumatized by that.


    I just hope Tim Wakefield doesn't come back (again). He gives me blood clots.

    Sox win game 1 in shutout fashion, then proceed to get buttraped in all subsequent games despite having the pitching matchup advantage in all but one. That's choking.
