2008 MLB Team Slogans

PrintSo, apparently the members of the Padres marketing team aren’t the only ones lying around the office eating truffles and drinking martinis. From what I could find, only fourteen of the teams took the time (and not much of it considering some of these) to come up with a slogan for the 2008 season.
Here they are.
Baltimore Orioles – THIS IS BIRDLAND.
Chicago White Sox – SHARE THE PASSION. SHOW THE SWAGGER.
Detroit Tigers – WHO’S YOUR TIGER?
Kansas City Royals – NEW. BLUE. TRADITION.
Minnesota Twins – THIS IS YOUR STATE. THIS IS YOUR TEAM.
Seattle Mariners – MOJO RISIN’
Texas Rangers – You could use some baseball.
Toronto Blue Jays – IT’S ALWAYS GAME TIME
Atlanta Braves – WELCOME TO THE BIGS.
Cincinnati Reds – C you there!
Florida Marlins – YOU GOTTA BE HERE!
Pittsburgh Pirates – LET’S GO BUCS
San Francisco Giants – ALL OUT ALL SEASON
Washington Nationals – WELCOME HOME!
Personally, I think the Royals slogan is horrible. Not really a fan of the Mariners one, either…but maybe that’s just because of my burning hatred for our most dreaded rivals. I actually really like the Rangers slogan. It’s kinda laid back…not full of capital letters and exclamation points.

are you kidding about the giants?
tell me you're kidding... or better yet, tell me you're not kidding.
I swear...ALL of these are real.
Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on, Stuart. I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to God.
Better than last years:
"We will"
as in "we haven't been and currently aren't but..."

The problem with the Rangers is that
they don't actually provide baseball. You have to look elsewhere for it.

Stole that one right from Coach Norman Dale.

if the Pad's took the time, what would the slogan be? What cheezy, fake words could we come up with..."The Padres, God is on our side."
I always liked "Keepin' the Faith"
It's a touch of religion if you want to interpret it that way. But not overbearing so that you can't ignore it.
What year was that for? '96?
And, I'm still waiting for Meredith or Bell to come in the seventh inning of April 4's game with the bases loaded, the score tied and Thatcher struggling.
the reds
their slogan is pretty damn fruity. C you there?!
And the Orioles... Uhhhh?
"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."
padres slogan
if the Padres slogan were to reflect the attitudes of current management (ok Bud and Sandy) it would be smug, cocky and indifferent.
Padres, We have fielded and economically sound team, we think there is entertainment value here for the long term, your attendance will only justify our position.

You know what, Stuart-
I like you; you're not like all the other people here at the trailer park.

The Royals
Yeah, that slogan does suck. Can you believe they actually paid people to develop that slogan?
How about................
"I've shown up for the past 22 years, and all I have to show for it is -$19,428.49 in my bank account."
"David Glass Is Missing His Brain"
"Allard Baird.........Genius????????''
"Dye for Neifi"
"Can George Brett Still Play?"
"Kevin McReynolds Sucks"
"Mojo Risin'" makes sense in context.
(Don't hold this against me) I spent a summer in Seatle and learned that, in an attempt to be cool like NYC, the Seattlites refer to South Downtown as SoDo. And SoDo is where the park is located. Somewhere along the lines, the Mariners chose (or were given) the slogan "SoDo Mojo" and ever since, "Mojo" has been linked in Seattle to the Mariners. So "Mojo Risin'" is simply saying that the Mariners are going to try to do better.
Capri. Baseball will get me through the Bar Exam.
Would have been better
if they broke this one out when Luis Soho still played there... I remember when he was in the league, the first thing I always thought when he came up to bat or made a play was "Destination unknown; Luis, Luis, Luis Soho..."
