Players Weekend, yall

[Frayed Knot]

I like that Baltimore's Chris Davis has CRUSH on his uni for the weekend while Oakland's Khris Davis is going with KRUSH

My 9 y.o. loves Players Weekend, so, congratulations MLB, you've finally done something to appeal to kids. Now about those postseason start times...

I hadn't noticed until just now that the coaches and managers were doing this too. I see "Dusty" and "K-Long". Is Terry just "Terry"?

'bmfc1' wanted him to go with 'SHORTY' but I'm not sure TC took him up on that.


oe: and the answer is ... 'TC'

Terry could also have used "DEAD MAN WALKING" but that's a lot of letters.

At Friday's game, there was no visual evidence of who the Mets were (the is different from the many games where they don't show up) as the announcements and the scoreboards used the nicknames. (For the WSH players, one of the boards briefly displayed their given names.) You had to decipher "JUNIOR" and "PAUL" on your own. On Saturday, the announcer said their real names but if you missed it you didn't know. That's why the woman in front of me with the red Mets cap and lots of tattoos yelled "who the fuck is Black Bear?"

Nicknames on unis has a d-baggy quality to it.
