What should we call this thing?

| | Comments (19) |

OK, you've got one hour to be creative. Since this is just a one-game deal, it feels a little weird to call this a Freeway Series between the Dodgers and Angels. But what should we call this thing instead?

I have to file the gamer by 9:30 so you've got until then to come up with something good. Right now I'm thinking about the Freeway interchange, but that kind of stinks...

.....more like a drive-by, Ramona?

How about..."Freeway Sig Alert"

Given that there are still so many players who have yet to be cut, I'd call this a Traffic Jam.

It's more like a Roadside Exhibition.

Or a Freeway Freebie, since it doesn't cost either team anything in the season.

so far I'm liking drive-by... keep em coming

Freeway Skirmish

The eighth inning keeps up like this, it's quickly becoming a Freeway Pileup.

Ramona,

Your headline in the paper today looks awfully similar to my suggestion last night. Shouldn't this qualify me for some media passes to a game or something? :)

C'mon peeps! Everyone knows it's the Freeway face-off!

Hey hey,

thanks for all your suggestions. I and the headline writers appreciated them. I went with drive-by in the story because it was in before deadline. Always the key for a newspaper writer. But I also liked that Freeway Skirmish and some others.

Who knows, maybe we'll revisit this topic during the interleague series or.... the World Series.

When the Angels visit Dodger Stadium does McCourt make Moreno pay full price for his beer?

Called it as it is--"The Pay Full Price For a Meaningless Pile of Crap Game To Completely Soak Season Ticket Holders & Everyone Else"
