"Play (Chemically Enhanced) Ball!"

Work softball is back!

We've just completed our first email thread of the season discussing potential new names for our squad.

I propsed "The Bearded Wonders" for us, especially funny because no one on the team wears a beard (though, in my case, it's certainly not for lack of trying). Others included "Team Great!" (exclamation point included), "Strange Brew" (the favorite, and "Pedroia's Ping Pong Posse" (too long).

My suggestsion came in third in the voting, but it was a close race (McCain-Huckabee close). Luckily, this year, our team name won't feature any puns on performance enhancing drugs (BALCO Lab Rats, The Linseed Oilers, Mo'PEDS).

Up next, deciding on a uniform color. We wore blue last year (our rallying cry was "Go blue team!") but this year I'm pulling for red.

Because it will look totally great with my beard.

If you grew a beard your team would have to be called "The Scraggly Pirates." Because that is what your facial hair is reminiscent of.

no beard. :-p
