Ramp Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 c/o espn.com Your slogan can never be clever enough By Eric Immerman Special to Page 2 When MLB marketing personnel gather during spring training to plan for the upcoming season, one of their most important tasks is to come up with a catchy team slogan that excites the fans and accurately represents the direction the team is heading. Unfortunately, these slogans are usually annoyingly pedestrian, something like: "Baseball Fever ... Catch It!" Or, "Come Watch The Kids Play." To remedy the situation, we have taken the liberty of drafting slogans for all 30 MLB teams, Page 2 style. Rally Monkey Considering the Angels' World Series win, is there any doubt touching the monkey will lead to some good luck? Anaheim Angels: "Touch Our Rally Monkey. Go On, Touch It." Arizona Diamondbacks: "There's Nothing Like The Sight Of The Big Unit Working His Rosin Bag." Atlanta Braves: "Join Us Every Sunday At Turner Field For Pregame Bagels & Cox." Baltimore Orioles: "Chicks Dig The Long Ball; Fat Chicks From Baltimore Settle For Warning Track Power." Boston Red Sox: "The New York Yankees Sodomize Orphaned Puppies -- We Adopt Them." Chicago Cubs: "Proud Home Of The 1995 'MTV Rock N' Jock Celebrity Softball Game' MVP, Eric Karros." Chicago White Sox: "It's Either This Or Trekking Up To Your Boy's Place On The North Side And Watching The 'Blind Date Uncensored DVD' ... Again." Cincinnati Reds: "Have You Hugged Your Disgruntled Center Fielder Today?" Cleveland Indians: "We're Not Prudes, It's Just Difficult To Reach Third Base In These Smaller Retro Ballparks." Colorado Rockies: "Think Season Tickets Are Expensive? Try Getting Avril Lavigne To Play At Gabe Kapler's Daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Then We'll Talk Expensive!" Detroit Tigers: "Zero To Sixty Wins In 162 Games Flat!" Florida Marlins: "Cause It's One ... Two ... Three Times You've Seen 'Cocoon' This Week. Enough, Already. Put Some Hard Candies In Your Pocket And Get To The Ballpark Before It's Too Late!" Houston Astros: "H To The Izzo, Ouston To The Izzay." Kansas City Royals: "Kauffman Stadium -- The House That Steve Balboni Built." Los Angeles Dodgers: "Ask Us About Our New Dominican Republic Embryo Signing!" Milwaukee Brewers: "A Drinking Town With A Baseball Problem." Minnesota Twins: "As Seen In The 1994 Timothy Busfield Vehicle, 'Little Big League.' " Montreal Expos: "You Definitely Won't Be Crushed To Death In Our Stands." New York Mets: "Big Market Payroll, Small Market Results." New York Yankees: "You're Going To Like The Way We Look. Don Zimmer Guarantees It." Oakland A's: "Zito. It's What's For Dinner." Philadelphia Phillies: "Come For The Projectile Batteries, Stay For The Public Urination Citation." Pittsburgh Pirates: "You Can't Spell Pittsburgh Pirates Without 'High ERA.'" St. Louis Cardinals: "Rick Ankiel And Mike Matheny Aren't Just Battery Mates, They're Soul Mates, On A Very Special T.W.I.B." San Diego Padres: "Got Milk Of Magnesia? Can Jesse Orosco Borrow Some, He's Constipated." San Francisco Giants: "90 Percent Of The Game Is Half Barry Bonds Obsessively-Compulsively Adjusting His Body Armor." Seattle Mariners: "Because Starbucks Doesn't Serve Ice Cream In A Miniature Batting Helmet."

tigersfan1 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 "Detroit Tigers: "Zero To Sixty Wins In 162 Games Flat!" I think 60 wins is a little too generous for this "team" ... I would stay closer to the zero mark. J/K of course, every team should get at least 50 wins and we will get some wins off the Indians and Royals like we do every year. My choice: Alan Trammell is back as manager ... Ignore the team on the field! That's not catchy enough, but something to that regard. And it kinda is if you see the ticket adds Alan Trammell is all over those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
