Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Ron Mexico is no longer with us

For many reason's, I believe it is time to pull the plug on Ron Mexico, hopefully this can be used a sacrifice to help turn the Padre's season around.  I have used this alter-ego for almost four years now; winning Fantasy Baseball and Football championships, tormenting old bosses and confusing the hell out of Warrick Dunn when I email him from Ron Mexico's yahoo account.  There comes a time when you need to let go of things, I need to let Ron Mexico go into cyber abyss and the Padre's need to let go of their lossing attitudes and act like champions.

Ron was a good friend to me, always there (unless he had better things to do), and will be missed.

Goodbye, Ron Mexico
"We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world--a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect, to nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."

I'm not sure what this means.

There are certain super athletes
with lots of pit bulls that need you NOW.  They need you more than ever.

Padres need you, we need you.  Don't go, don't leave without giving me at least a taste of the Herpes.

I hate you.

okay...so are you paying homage?
to a mobster or a horribly skilled white rapper?

by bktabinga on Aug 2, 2007 9:33 AM PDT up reply actions  

Mobster
yeah I am Italian, what are you making of it?

Damn
I was hoping for the white rapper thing.

SammyG
I think you're gonna need to tell us about yourself.

by Winfield's Ghost on Aug 2, 2007 9:36 AM PDT up reply actions  

Congralutions
on your first post SammyG. Don't forget to stop by the GLB offices later and get your new employee handbook.

And oh...there will be a team meeting
in the locker room at 1AM, yes 1AM. Its that important.  No need to bring your gear or uni.  Just yourself...I think BGiles wants to address the team.

Before that
there is a get together on the GLB golf course. Meet us on the ninth green at nine, and wear something nice!

Welcome!
Nice ta meet cha, SammyG!

A suggestion:
To properly honor the death of Ron Mexico...and welcome our "new" friend SammyG to GLB - I suggest SammyG writes the opening to today's Open Thread.

That's not a bad idea.
Although I wonder if he killed off the "that man was not Jake Peavy" bit as well. That's a classic.
Ah, for the days that we complained about our two hit victories...

by TheThirdGonzalez on Aug 2, 2007 10:41 AM PDT up reply actions  

No way....
He'll drop that when he stops drinking micro-brew. He can change the name...

by Drama on Aug 2, 2007 10:43 AM PDT up reply actions  

I always knew
that it was gonna catch up to him, someday.

Death by herpes, what a way to go.
