They could rename themselves the Atlanta Salads or Atlanta Lettuce. Maybe even the Atlanta Blocks. Then keep the "chop."

🤪

Great idea.  Along those same lines, according to @boogielicious they are named after an Indian Chief.  They could do an ever-so-tiny change and in one fell swoop also provide an answer to an age old question:

Also keep their goofy "Blooper" mascot and change his name to the Great Googly Moogly.

Just make a reasonable offer, geez. Heck, The owners of the Indians only want players on their team they can get at a bargain, and ship hi profile players off so they don't have to pay big contracts. They are stingy.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I like the new name. I'm glad they are changing it. 

I've always thought the dumbest reason to keep doing something is because "We've always done it this way."

So.... what? .... You can still be a fan.
Look at the bright side. Think of all the new gear you can go out and get. 

Keep the old gear as a collectors item. 

New is good. New is interesting. Baseball needs all the newness it can get. 12 people watched the World Series this year.... and 6 of them fell asleep.

I’m fine with it. After a few seasons people will get use to it.

And one of them bet against the Rockies. Oh wait, who was in the World Series?

What's this sport called baseball that you are all talking about?   Is it the one where people hit balls with those funny hammers?

There are three things that baseball should be really worried about:

1 - ESPN radio has a deal that if a World Series Game is on a local ESPN radio affiliate at the same time as High School Football, The High School Football is given priority and The World Series Game goes to ESPN's secondary local station. 

2 - When The World Series has been up against Thursday Night Football. Without fail the Thursday Night Football PREGAME SHOW gets a higher rating than The World Series Game itself.

3 - I took a very informal survey of the 6th graders in my son's school. Out of more than 20 kids that I asked, only 1 had EVER seen a baseball game on TV. None had ever watched a World Series Game. BTW - I'm in the Columbus area and Cleveland was just in the World Series in 2016.

Baseball...America's PAST time

I played a couple of years in high school and enjoyed it.  I've been to a couple of games.  I find most sports too long and ultimately boring.  Soccer can usually grab my attention (football to friends not in the US).   I barely have watched golf in the past ten years.   Too slow.   I'd almost prefer for a lot of non-majors that they tape it and then edit it so that it's not as drawn out.

I tried to get into football a few years ago, but I just can't keep up any conversation about the endless stats that people cite.   Also, I can't stand the way that the clock stops every 6 seconds near the end of the game.  This makes the last 3 minutes of game time be like 30 minutes.  At least to me.

 

—Adam

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
