Bluejacket. What the fuck is a bluejacket???
Cash, did you grow up in Ohio? I can't remember. Because if you did, surely you were exhorted by every. single. history. teacher. you every had to go see the Bluejacket Outdoor Drama, because it is Part of Ohio's Rich History!
(For non-Ohioans and/or non-history buffs, Bluejacket was, essentially, a Dances-with-Wolves-type white guy who chose to live as a Shawnee Indian.)

Though I don't get why the mascot is a BUG.

Heh -- this description from the Web site makes it pretty clear why the dude became a Shawnee: he HAD to change his name!
....the story of Marmaduke Van Swearingen a young white settler who left the society he was born to live his dream of becoming part of the Shawnee.
The Sox home opener is also on a Monday afternoon, and in cube land, just two doors down from the Big Boss, I can't even do MLBTV online.
This is when you suggest a team building exercise--and make it a group activity, preferably with snacks.
A yellowjacket that's cold?
Well, after they head north from Atlanta....
You know what are awfully good? The slice and bake ginger cookies from the La Brea bakery. They have little bits of crystalized ginger in them.
Not that I am eating them for breakfast or anything.
I would never eat cookies for breakfast!
However, anytime might be cookie time. You never can tell, with cookies.
I have cookies on my desk.

Day-um. That's one hell of a name.
My league awareness has been kinda poor -- the only person I can name on the D-Rays is Carl Crawford.
Only one I remember is Alex Sanchez, and that's just because he was suspended for 'roids this morning.
They were talking about the steroid suspension during the pre-game, last night, unless it was another guy. Ben was talking a lot, so I only caught about a quarter of what was said.

Day-um. That's one hell of a name.
You can see why he chose the less-cumbersome, less-likely-to-get-him-beaten-up-in-the-schoolyard "Blue Jacket."
That was probably him. I was in a news blackout this weekend since it seemed to be all Pope all the time.
(I was sorry to hear he had died and all, and hope for the best for him, but I didn't feel the need to hear endless rehashing.)
