March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 05:56 PM) XXX-Ram then? Is he friends with that reliever that was on Cleveland?
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) And what happens when the Crosstown series roll around and no one has a clue who people are referring to? C-RAM? Cuban Ramirez
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 05:08 PM) C-RAM? Cuban Ramirez Or, drop the hyphen, you're down to one Syllable, with Cram.
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) And what happens when the Crosstown series roll around and no one has a clue who people are referring to? 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.
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 07:56 PM) XXX-Ram then? If it made sense, I'd allow it for the humor value. As it stands, I only give you my best curmudgeonly, Grumble, grumble.
March 22, 200817 yr 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.
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Maybe we should just wait a month in to the season for Hawk to come up with one? Sexy Lexy it is then. Maybe Al-Ram
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) Maybe we should just wait a month in to the season for Hawk to come up with one? He'd probably call him "Baby Bird", cuz he looks like he needs to eat something.
March 22, 200817 yr I believe Hawk already calls him the Cuban Flash though, or just "The Flash" at times.
March 22, 200817 yr 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.
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) 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.
March 22, 200817 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) I can't imagine Hawk saying "Sex Ram" for some reason. Then tell him I said he's fired.
March 22, 200817 yr 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.

March 23, 200817 yr QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 10:37 PM) I heard Ozzie call him the Cuban Missile. So I guess calling the 2B situation the Cuban Missile Crisis would be too easy?
March 23, 200817 yr QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Mar 22, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) So I guess calling the 2B situation the Cuban Missile Crisis would be too easy? Since Uribe is involved, maybe "The Bay of Pigs" would be more appropriate.
March 23, 200817 yr QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 23, 2008 -> 06:08 AM) 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! Edited March 23, 200817 yr by South Side Fireworks Man
