HeyAbbott Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I thought at of the beginning of the season we could sweep the White Sox, the Mets, and the A's to start the year, and still finish the year with 84 wins. It is a long season, but it is nice to see after the last multiple dismal starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 New baseball pet peeve: calling what they do in the dugout after a home run a "celly". I had never seen that word until this past weekend and now I've seen it half-dozen times since. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels as though practically all of it is specifically PR for the organization. Yes, I understand he works for mlb.com, but there are ways to position things without looking like a complete shill.

oblong Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I just got MLB Network again and.... I can't get over Carlos Pena being referred to as "Los". As for "celly"... yeah Buddha's right. Hockey players like to shorten everything up, names, etc. I think it comes from being out of breath on the ice so you reduce syllables and exertion it takes to say things.
