Another Sox parody video

This is via our good friends from DRaysBay.com:

(Note: You should probably YouTube "My New Haircut" video before watching this to understand it)

It's funny, but c'mon. Why does everyone think all Sox fans are like this?

Love it.

Honestly, it’s a pretty favorable portrayal. How many Rays fans can name all of their players? How many great microbreweries are there in St. Petersburg? How many great knuckleballers does any team have?

Anyone notice the remix version of “Sweet Caroline” in the background?

Great representation

We needed more fans like that at the series. I could barely hear us at the final game over the band wagoners. Most of them don’t even realize that neither of their team’s two retired numbers barely did anything for their team. Wade Boggs played two partial seasons for them and most Devil Ray fans think he is somebody like Jackie Robinson, that the league mandated his number be retired.

I don't know how they pulled this off

But this guy looks so much like me. Like, really, everything. Especially the jumping. I do that ALL THE TIME. :)

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Oh

I only stop the jumping when I’m holding my chowda, but I think everyone already knew that. :)

I don’t think you’re all like that. Just a lot of you!

has anyone noticed...

other SB*Nation blogs just don’t have very good names?

Over the Monster is creative and catchy. i’ll have to admit the first time i saw draysbay.com i thought dray was a cool dude that owned a whole bay all by himself.

are there any other well-named SBNation blogs out there for MLB teams? i feel like the sox may take the cake.

(listen… this may be off topic, but sue me. i’m a SAWKX fan and i’m gawna do what i want and if you don’t like it i’ll start a fight)

let's rank!

good:

over the monster—both catchy and captures the tradition of sox baseball.
talking chop—well, i like it.
the good phight—it seems dumb. until you realize the name of the team is the Phillies, making the title appropriate.

okay:

halos heaven—everyone loves alliteration, but i don’t think nolan ryan is too excited about ending up on the internet when he dies.
mccovey chronicles—tradition meets class. i can dig it.
FishStripes—they’re the marlins. all seven fans spent 12 hours brainstorming to come up with this one. they deserve a little credit for their continued dedication.
Pinstripe Alley – has the tradition, but lacks the class or flair to put it over the top.

wtf?

Viva El Birdos – if you’re going to desecrate a language by inventing crappy words, at least use proper grammar. it’s Vivan Los Birdos or Viva El Birdo. pick one.
Bless You Boys—Apparently they have lots of allergies in detroit?
Twinkie Town—well, this certainly explains why cecil loved the twin cities.
and of course, DRaysBay—This just makes me think of a strange combination of Dr. Drake Ramore (any friends fans?) and Dr. Dre, combined into a superhero from the school of captain planet, devoting his life to protecting the “bay.” Too bad the bay doesn’t care. Oh, and the D doesn’t even belong anymore. Shouldn’t they be fined a dollar by the rays’ media gestapo?

the rest all lie somewhere in between, i think.

“Bless you boys” is a famous catchphrase of a Detroit sportscaster, used when he would read the score of a winning Tigers game. It’s actually a good name.

I’ll be up front, I dislike the following names:

1. Camden Chat (I have never been crazy about this name, and I shorten it to CC whenever I can—I didn’t pick it.)
2. Viva El Birdos for the same reason you have.
3. Purple Row
4. AZ Snakepit

that explains the detroit... that is a good one.

any explanation as to why houston is the crawfish boxes? this one also struck me as odd, but i figured there had to be some kind of tradition behind it.

by jjbooth74 on Jul 12, 2008 9:43 AM EDT up reply actions

me too

I’m not sure what the meaning is, but I’ve always just assumed Crawfish Boxes meant SOMETHING other than, y’know, crawfish boxes.

Actually

I think it’s ‘Viva Los Birdos’, so they just got one word wrong. Not so sure, however.

One name I really like is Music City Miracles, but that’s about the crappy football team.

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

music city miracles is pretty cool...

kind of a little too fairy-like for a football team named the TITANS, though…

and it really is http://vivaelbirdos.com—F*^#in’ St. Louis.

They REALLY got it wrong, then. That’s nearly Paps-bad speaking spanish. :)
