Go Rox.

Posted by Bartleby on October 15, 2007

So the Colorado Rockies are on an amazing roll, and I am officially on the bandwagon.  And for the first time I am actually interested in baseball.  In years past I have tried to get into America’s favorite pastime but it just didn’t grab me like it is this year.

I am usually a proponent of puns and cleaver slang but this Go Rox shit really annoys me.  Does it make it cooler to use a x rather than a cks, or even spelling it all out? It certainly doesn’t have the enthusiastic effect on me that it is trying to portray. Sure a lot of teams have their nicknames,Yanks, Huskers, Gators, D-BagsBacks etc., but do we really have to go to that level and somewhat copy the Red Sox?  It makes me cringe and emits a corny uneducated persona. It’s stupid. Don’t even get me started on Rocktober.

That said, Go Rockies!
