And what happens when the Crosstown series roll around and no one has a clue who people are referring to?

C-RAM? Cuban Ramirez

Or, drop the hyphen, you're down to one Syllable, with Cram.

so a few people may be confused 3 games out of the year? Big deal. Osuna/Ozuna will keep people busy in the mean time.

If it made sense, I'd allow it for the humor value. As it stands, I only give you my best curmudgeonly, Grumble, grumble.

He does it all.

 

OF, MI etc.

Maybe we should just wait a month in to the season for Hawk to come up with one?

Every time this spring I've seen Uribe get a hit it seems to be to the right side. Is it possible that someone told him to forget about power and just do what you do well ? He seems to be pretty good at going the opposite way.

Sexy Lexy it is then.

 

Maybe Al-Ram

He'd probably call him "Baby Bird", cuz he looks like he needs to eat something.

I believe Hawk already calls him the Cuban Flash though, or just "The Flash" at times.

As long as it's not The Flash in the pan I like it.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 06:46 PM)
X-Ram?

 

It's Sex Ram.

 

I combined Sexy Lexi with A-Ram a couple of weeks ago. This case is closed.

I can't imagine Hawk saying "Sex Ram" for some reason.

i believe there is really only one type of waiver.

 

So we have no idea how this discussion of "revocable" vs "irrevocable" waivers started. Since apparently there is no such thing. We have no idea how the media latched on and assumed Uribe was put on "irrevocable" waivers (which does not exist). This then led to the unreasonable general consensus that Williams was going to let Uribe walk away and pay him $4.1 million to do so. There was never the logical question raised, "if Williams was going to let him just go, why wouldn't he at least get $2 or $3 million from some team who could use him," because all of the incorrect, bad, and illogical assumptions stacked on top of each other precluded that from being a possibility. Also precluded was the real thing- he was gaging interest/seeing if he could get someone to pay the whole contract, with no risk, because he could simply pull Uribe back off waivers. Which he did.

 

If Williams put Uribe on imaginary irrevocable waivers and pays him $4.1 million to go home, I am writing "season tickets" on my TV and kicking it out my window.

Then tell him I said he's fired.

Basically yes, no one knew what they were talking about. I just wish the guys over at whatifsports.com would truely understand the rules too. hardball dynasty = awesomeness.

I heard Ozzie call him the Cuban Missile.

So I guess calling the 2B situation the Cuban Missile Crisis would be too easy?

I hope they don't release Juanny, I don't wanna have to buy another jersey.

Since Uribe is involved, maybe "The Bay of Pigs" would be more appropriate.

I'm not a Uribe basher by any means, but even I had to laugh at that one! :lol:
