Now, tell me that doesn't sound like a cereal name?

Posted by Tinros (Member # 8328) on :

Someone's parents were a little out of it after his birth...

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

It's pretty close to one.

Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :

Like a bunch of kids, picking on a guy's name.... A few years after he broke into the league. Grow up, or get with the times! [No No]

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Hey, I'm not complaining. He's our replacement for Johnny Damon, so I'll take him. I'm just excited that I get to root for a guy named Coco Crisp.

Plus, he has a .300 batting average for last year. That makes me happy.

I know I'VE made the joke before. [Wink]

Coco is a nickname, by the way. He kicked major butt for my fantasy baseball team and should do even better for the Sox.

On a related note, I used to tutor a guy named Indiana Jones. His parents let his brother name him.

Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :

He's no Johnny Damon, though. No one could master the caveman look like JD.

No one could be Jesus. But I think he has a chance of making a name for himself in the Red Sox. Plus, he's younger, and his average has been getting better every season. I think he'll be good on our team.

Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :

Yeah, I think Coco is a good addition. Even tho I don't hate the yankees with a fiery passion, I was sad to see him go to Steinbrenner's team, where he had to shave.

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

I know. I DO hate the Yankees with a fiery passion, but I think the fact that hurts the most was that he was willing to give up his identity as Jesus just for more money.

On a side note, did you know that we Red Sox fans have begun calling Damon Judas?

Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :

No, I tend to ignore most of the rhetoric from the east coast. You guys are too high strung [Wink]

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

I'm not *twitches* high strung!

Posted by Reticulum (Member # 8776) on :

I thought you WERE talking about cereal. Poor guy. [Taunt]

Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :

I think that calling Damon Judas was funny the first 2 times, but now is just lame. I can't wait for the improved Sox to sweep the Yankees this year.

I like several yankees players, and their manager. Their owner, tho... I'd much rather see the Red Sox win it, since the Reds are out of contention already. And for 2007, 2008, and 2009 as well.

Smitty have you seen Frisco? He does Johnny Damon better than Johnny Damon does.

Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :

I'm just slightly worried he's going to turn the milk all chocolaty. It really doesn't taste bad, but I just think it would be disturbing if the Red Sox were drinking brown milk.

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

Wooo, for Cookie Crisp! (Not quite the same, I know. But its awfully close.)

On weird names:

There was a family that named their three sons Luke, Sky, and Walker.

I also knew a kid whose name was A llen S cott S kaggs. People laughed at his initials.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

There are worse cereal names for your kids. Be a shame to name your daughter "Trix".

My last name is Smith. I have always known I could never marry a man whose last name also started with an S.

For what it's worth, I don't know any Yankees fans who are fond of George Steinbrenner. Former Yankee Sparky Lyle wrote a what-if baseball fantasy novel that starts off with Steinbrenner being kicked out of baseball, and an overjoyed New York City staging a V-S celebration...

Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :

George is still better than Marge Schott was

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

Initials are important for parents to consider. That's why we didn't name our oldest daughter Amanda Rose. Our last name begins with "F."

Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :

NNOOO. I can't like Coco Crisp anymore. Darn Sox.

Just Kidding. I'm one of those few yankee fans that can give the Sox some respect. I still hate them with all my being of course, I just aknowledge that they are a good team.
