LYC: One especially silly thing about baseball that didn't really strike me until last night - prayformojo Jun 26, 11:27 34
- last night I was driving home and couldn't figure out why I was seeing so many people dressed in Sox gear. - loosilu Jun 26, 11:33
- That's a relatively new thing that just started in the 2000s. -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:28 12
  - I used to go to Blue jays games in the late 80s and early 90s and they were doing it then. - Diva Jun 26, 11:30 11
    - Closers got their start, but baseball wanted to start personalizing the players and such..so we get Manny being Manny to adult lyrics. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:34 7
      - I think it makes sense, but only for a player's first appearance of the game -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 11:36 2
        
        You don't market players only once...you do it every chance you can - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:37 1
        
        I was speaking in terms of the narrative of the game. It certainly makes sense from a marketing perspective to do it as often as possible. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 11:38
      - I was trying to remember the first Brave that was doing it. Vinny Castilla coming up to Smooth is the first I can recall. -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:35 3
        
        Otis Nixon's was "Cocaine Blues", right? -- nm - nubby Jun 26, 11:39 2

        Aaaah! -- nm - nubby Jun 26, 11:42
    - I meant hitters prior to each at bat. There have always been musical interludes during the lulls like pitching changes. - David Jun 26, 11:33 1
      - I'm talking about all the players too. I just remembered henke for the example. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:38
    - It definitely became popular after Major League had Wild Thing. -- nm - Inigo Jun 26, 11:32
- *shrug* - znufrii Jun 26, 11:28
- So many things struck me as silly when I first started watching (as an adult). Like how the managers wear the team uniform. Can you imagine Vince - mara Jun 26, 11:28 6
  - It goes back to the day of player/managers. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 11:45
  - for some reason that only makes sense to me in baseball. I can't imagine any other sport doing the same. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 11:35 3
    - I think it's the lack of padding in baseball. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 11:36 2
      - there's no padding in basketball either, and they wear suits. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 11:37
      - Only uniform that doesn't look ridiculous or have helmets. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:37
  - this again demonstrates hockey's superiority. in the nhl they wear suits. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 11:29
- it is like a wrestler's or boxers entetance theme. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 11:28
- ~ Okajima! (Okey dokey!) Okajima! (Okey dokey!) ~ - TFox Jun 26, 11:28 10
  - For the record, I now have a 'meet japanese singles' ad showing. Awesome. -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 11:59
  - it's ridiculous. and so japanese. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:29 8
    - I want an mp3 of it so bad. So bad. Haven't been able to find it. - TFox Jun 26, 11:30 7
      - what are you gonna do with that? Dance? If jacen ever gets a hold of it he'll never sleep thru the night again. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:32 6
        
        Dance. Use it to celebrate his entrance when watching from home. Make friends laugh. So many uses. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 11:34 5
        
        I'd like to choreograph this for you, if I may. It is truly one of the worst anything ever written and it should be honored as such. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:40 4
        
        Done deal. ~ Okajima! (Okey dokey!) ~ -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 11:45 3
        
        You'll need to be costumed in silver lame parachute pants too, of course. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 11:53 2

- Dammit, all this stuff is on my work computer. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:33
- something like Max(ID) might/should work I think -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 11:30 2
  - I think MAX is only for Group By clauses. - JaxSean Jun 26, 11:34
  - that doesn't work for entire rows, though, only individual aggregated fields. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 11:30
- No, you're not overthinking it. Dealing with that always annoys me. - Beryllium Jun 26, 11:30 2
  - Yeah, that was the route I was thinking. My brain is full, I think. - JaxSean Jun 26, 11:33 1
    - I concur completely. Here's something that might be close to what you need, - Beryllium Jun 26, 11:36
In a moment of true weirdness, an ex just texted me that horrible Lego joke. - TFox Jun 26, 11:26 5

- I'm surprised at how many people heard the Jeff Goldblum thing yesterday. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 26, 11:27 1
  - it was in twitter trends. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 11:27

  - "Jerk off while choking yourself" -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 11:26 1
    - Sorry, I got that backwards, didn't I? - Subversive Jun 26, 11:27
- How about a t-shirt that says "I'm not gay. Seriously." -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 11:24 7
  - But I Would Be Gay On Video For 1000 Bucks. NOT! -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 26, 11:25 4
    - You have a price. Everyone has a price. - TWuG Jun 26, 11:28 3
      - The entire argument was over the low amount of money. Nothing else -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 26, 11:30 2
        
        For some people $1000 is the price. It isn't yours, but you aren't everybody. - TWuG Jun 26, 11:33 1
        
        Those dudes are not straight. End of story as far as I am concerned. noboby will convince me of it. -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 26, 11:36

vox clamans in terris...Stick in the mud, maybe? - Mel Profit Jun 26, 11:23 7
- voice crying out in the wilderness is my guess. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 11:23 6
  - literally it means "voice crying out on earth." -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 11:27
  - apparently he got it wrong, it should be "vox clamans in deserto." -- (link) - loosilu Jun 26, 11:25 3
    - I'll grant that he misquoted, but in latin meanings can depend on context, so what he said isn't necessarily wrong. - mafic Jun 26, 11:38 2
      - it's wrong if it's a quote from the bible. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 11:42 1
        
        that's what I'm saying. he misquoted, but the meaning is still intact. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 11:45
  - sounds about right -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 11:25
B3: Reagan your post reminds me of Bill Simmons wanting teams to have a GM of common sense when handing out contracts -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 11:21 2
- Similar. But it really goes back to the idea of returning Roman conquerers having the jester in their ear. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 11:24 1
  - so.....elgin baylor. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 11:29
But the offer is cursed -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 11:21 4
- That's bad. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 11:22 3
  - But it comes with a free Frogurt! -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 11:22 2
    - Woo-hoo! -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 11:29 1

      - What is it with you and cherry violence? -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:29 1
        
        It's nothing compared to what I do to kumquats. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 11:32
- Don't "hi diggie" me until you watch The Wire, heathen. nm - Dignan Jun 26, 11:25 2
