Dodger Thoughts: The Untradeable Heart and Soul

Dodger Thoughts: Lively But Levelheaded Since 2003
(Not Sure if that's the right year).

Although on second thought, maybe that should be my slogan suggestion after all.

In other news, I just wrote a 14-page post comparing the Dodgers and Padres. Any thoughts where to post (other than on my refrigerator)?

not really a slogan

Have you had your Dodgers today?

Stats and giggles.

Made from the best stuff on earth.

Grilled to perfection.

Chicken soup for the baseball soul.

Have you procrastinated today?

(possibly in hypercolor?)

Dodger Thoughts: Now I understand han.

i contribute to a political blog sometimes (it's kind of on hiatus right now though) and we refer to ourselves as passionately moderate. passionate moderation is severely undervalued in this era of blowhards.

If you're talking major leagues that is. The team that is now the Dodgers started as a minor league team.

Dodger Thoughts: Oohs and Arghs!

can't believe I beat that one out.

----
Bob -- I'm confused. How can you go back further in time but also be sticking to the Major League club? Is 1884 a different Brooklyn Organization, that was then replaced in 1890 by the Dodgers' organization (under whatever Seapilotsish name they had at that time)? Cause I think it'd have to be the actual landing of the eventual-Dodger Major League organization.

I do like "Stats and giggles", too.

I was trying to come up with something along the lines of from A-Z, or maybe

VORP, Heart and Grabowskis

aaah, it's all for ourselves anyway, right?
Although I did get a ball for my kid from Mariano Duncan because of my "Ghame Over" shirt, my son gave it to his friend (also three and half) who prompty threw uit back over the dugout. This is even more funny because my son did the same thing the first time he got a ball.

But when they switched leagues they took the whole team with them.

Dodger Thoughts: No Plascke, All the Time.

Dodger Thoughts: We Never Leave After the Seventh Inning

OK, that's the last lamer from me.
I'm in for at least 2 T-shirts, though, whatever the sub-title

- Bloggers Bleeding Blue

- It's All About the OPS

- Keeping An Eye on Jim Tracy

- Brilliance Circa 2003

- vr, Xei

#11 I'd shorten a bit as follows:
"Talking Dodgers, wherever you may be."

#31 Love this as is...
"Where everybody knows your fake name."

Now I'll try to come up with an original thought of my own.

"Do I Read Dodger Thoughts? Yes. Do I post comments? I have. Did I use my real name? I did not."

You watch the games
We tell you what you saw

and

Where everybody knows your fake name.

If you ever take a deposition you come across the guy who recharcterizes your question and then answers his question instead of yours it maddening.

dodger thoughts: nice and fimple.

or perhaps:

dodger thoughts: think blue.

otherwise, i go in for stats and giggles.

perhaps: (really) think blue.

fimple pleasures.

or

sometimes it's the fimple things.

or

the fimple life.

of course, if jon chose one of these fimple slogans, would that make him the mayor of fimpleton?

Dodger Thoughts: Where Moneyball Bums Meet

These get my vote:
- A place Dodger fans can call home wherever you may be

- Chicken soup for the baseball soul

- We're There For You

- Where Everybody Knows Your Game

- Bloggers Bleeding Blue

- Think Blue

- (Really) Think Blue

- This is Dodger Blogging

Take me out to the web log
Take me out with the crowd
Leave me some comments and crack-er-jack
I don't care if I never log off
Let me type, type, type for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's submit, edit, re-submit
At Dodger Thoughts.

I'm tempted to substitute "Tracy's fault" for "a shame" but I'm trying to be nice and the meter doesn't work.

I Think Blue, therefore, I am.

Tangled up in (Dodger) blue.

We blog Dodger Blue.

Dodger Thoughts: Blogging for the cycle.

This last one is fairly nonsensical but it amuses me for some reason. I need to get some sleep.

Dodger Thoughts: Because we have to

Dodger Thoughts: With a name like Weisman, it has to be good

Dodger Thoughts: We're on a mission from Jon

Jon, have you given any thought to a logo?

Dodger Thoughts.
Plenty of spice. No Pepper.

One Weisman, Bearing Gifts

100% Plaschke-Free

Thanks for a wonderful and insightful place to read about the Dodgers and baseball.... of course, I now curse Jim Tracy more than I used to (I'd already given up on Plaschke and Simers a long time ago).

My little contribution:

Dodger Thoughts: We Don't Bunt

"Bloggers Bleeding Blue"
"Dodger Thoughts: Where the game is never over"

And then one more new idea:

"The Dodger Thoughts Marching and Chowder Society."

Dodger Thoughts: For the sheer Choi of it.

Not that Choi has been on my mind for 8 weeks or anything...

I'm off to work (Staples: That was Easy). You guys have got this nailed...

Weisman's blue wisemen

passionate blue heretics

"Dodger Thoughts....I Log On For This"

Just a thought.

BC

Outstanding.

ok, now i've aired my lamers out... i like

'we blog dodger blue' and something along the lines of 'agitated and analysis'

We bleed, therefore we blog

Dodger Thoughts: Dab in the Gab

Once something ceases to be timely it often transitions into amusingly nostalgic, like the Jack Fimple references. Are you viewing this as the permanent Dodger Thoughts slogan, or are you planning on doing a new t-shirt slogan annually or semi-annually, like Athletics Nation does?

Because if we're just talking about t-shirts, there's not necessarily any reason the slogan has to stand the test of time.

113 - I guess I'd like to be able to keep selling the shirts somewhat indefinitely. Imagine if we had done this last year with some play on Lima Time. Perhaps it'd be amusing, but I think fewer people would want to buy them. I could be wrong, but it's my feeling. Since there are plenty of good choices without being trendy, I feel it's an okay way to go.

But I would also do new T-shirts later on if this is a success - and perhaps those could be more tied to a particular player or moment.

Langhorn in post #75 came up with "Where the Game is Never Over." In my post
I was just lobbying for it to be in the finals because (as the woman in Sex Lies and Videotape said about something else) "it's desCRIPtive!."

Or perhaps some reference to the site being the 26th man

My name is Timmermann, not Grabowski.

"Dodger Thoughts: Taking Balls and Breaking Balls."

DT: Blogs without beachballs
DT: Take me out to the blog game
DT: Blogging for the cycle
DT: 0 Runs, 300 Hits, 0 Errors

DT: Fans with Computers

And, for something funny...

DT: When you've seen enough porn

I like the slogans that seem to convey the compulsive force that Dodger Thoughts has become.

Dodger Thoughts: Where the game is never over

Dodger Thoughts: Come for the game, stay for the comments

Dodger Thoughts: We don't bunt

Because I am a fool for rhyme, and I love the intelligent word play on Dodger Thoughts how about

The first and last are my personal favorites.

"i say we do more fimple references!"

"We're not playin' for one" with the "not" wedged in there

or

one of those red "do not" circles superimposed over the letters sac with "Dodger" written above and "Thoughts" below.

or Earl Weaver's quote: "Dodger Thoughts: You can take the sacrifice bunt and ..."

Does Dodger Thoughts have an official logo? Or do we need to have a contest on that too?

How about

Dodger Thoughts Never Stop

Dodger Thoughts; Always On

That's all I got. Not sure I can wear a t-shirt with the word giggles on it. I know that's probably my issue but just wanted that on the record.

How about Dodger Thoughts, The Blog Behind The Box Score.

Or* DT: Beyond The Box Score*.

Dodger Thoughts: Because Talking Is Over Rated.

(Ok, I'm done)

Ditto on the giggles, just didn't want to be the first peep to say it. If you are going to put giggles on it, mind as well have a big pink triangle on it too. :)

DT: baseball by all the numbers
DT: where everyone's an insider

1) We THINK outside the box score.
1A) THINKING outside the box score.
2) We put the THINK in Think Blue.
2A) Putting the THINK in Think Blue.
3) We THINK before we rant.

Plus for those of us over 45, it is a reminder of the Mary Martin TV version of Peter Pan from the mid-1960s, in which Peter tells the other children they can fly if they "think lovely thoughts."

"Once a Bum - Always a Dodger-A Dodger Blog With Mustard"

OK!

I stole all of it!

I like "Where the Game Never Ends" although it could apply to lots of diff things

Easternmost in Quality, Westernmost in Flavor would be great to have on a shirt out here in DC, because it would forge connection with those already in the know.

Not sure anyone has done better than "Passionately Levelheaded" in terms of capturing a meaningful (both to in and out siders) sesne of the community.

I do like my #14, maybe in small print on the pocket on front or somewhere else though not, as I said, as a slogan.

Rule three violations

DT–Ya down wit' OPS?
DT–And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we bunting for?

Two variations on the Bill Buckley maxim:
DT–Standing athwart history, shouting: Stop bunting!
DT–Standing athwart Tracy, shouting: Grabowski Principle!

Stolen, outright, from the Simpsons:
DT–Kinda like Jesus, but not in a sacrilegious way

Rule three compliant

DT–Lively Boys welcome; no beachballs allowed
DT–Lively Boys don't bunt
DT–Lively Boys, impeccable grammar, no bunting

The trouble trying to work in 'lively boys' is that it immediately sounds like a special interest sub-group of NAMBLA. To my perverted ears, anyway.

"She threw a perfect game for the Dodgers in an 11-0 victory over the Yankees.

How dominant was she? She struck out all 18 batters she faced in the six-inning victory. She never got to a three-ball count on any of them."

Now if only the Dodgers can sign her before any other teams take notice...

Dodger Thoughts: From Aase to Zimmerman

Dodger Thoughts: the sixth tool

Dodger Thoughts: A 500 hit perfect game.
