I considering going with something like ‘todays forecast: sweaty’ or something like that but it wasnt working.

From Stubpass.com
They are also known as "the White Elephants " or simply "the Elephants ", in reference to then New York Giants’ manager John McGraw’s calling the team a “white elephant”. This was embraced by the team, who then made a white elephant the team’s mascot, and often incorporated it into the logo or sleeve patches.
I have a book that explains its first use
but I have about 50 baseball books and dont know which one its in.
I couldve sworn it had something to do with the A’s owner, I think the Philadelphia Athletics actually, feuding with the other owners about moving to Kansas City, and at a meeting of the owners it wasnt addressed so another team pres. said “I guess we’re just going to ignore the white elephant in the room.”
I think thats it, its the gist anyway, I just dont know what book its in or Id look.

I've always wondered
about the origin of that logo—-always one of my favorites. If you find it, post it, but I’d say the story is off, because the elephant logo was in use in the early 20th century and the A’s didn’t move to Kansas City until the 1950s.
id bet the story is right and its my head thats off.
it definitely stems from a meeting of the owners though. thats all I got.

No, it's a good title. Beloved by all!
Perhaps the Cubs are the new white elephants of baseball? The A’s payroll is only 58 million. Maybe they could swap logos.

Hell back in the ’20s the Yankees scored 18 runs in a World Series game, and it was 2 hours and 49 minutes — the longest World Series game in history to that point.

Jack Cust

by edwardfortyhands on Jul 24, 2010 4:17 PM CDT reply actions
This start definitely will give KW something to think about as deadline week
kicks off.
We knew he was definitely looking for a left-handed bat, but he may now focus on also adding another starter in addition to the bat, or just getting the starter. These are two pretty god-awful starts from Garcia, and they probably realize how fortunate they were that he kept them in so many pre All-Star game starts.
Vs. Minnesota he was good
A lot of smoke and mirrors but got the big outs. he was in line to win that game.
I will have to respectfully disagree. He was not good. Yes, 3 runs in 6 innings is good.....
but the fact that he allowed 12 baserunners was worrisome, and follow that with today’s rough outing and it’s fair to be concerned.
that's how he's been pitching all year
I’d be more concerned about him getting injured. He hasn’t thrown this many innings since 2006.
I am become Q! Destroyer of Worlds
This
Besides, we all knew Freddy was due for a funk. The fact that we have three other pitchers, four if Hudson can pitch as well as he did against Seattle that can throw up quality starts almost nightly is more than making up for a rough patch from Freddy. He was huge earlier in the year, now it’s the other’s turn to step up when he gets knocked around a little.

I’m saying we have four other starters that have been stepping up for the last month and a half almost. Freddy has a rough patch, we still have four out of five.

3/5 is still damn good, and Hudson if he can at least be consistently decent, then that can be 4/5 considering he’s coming up from the minors.

Freddie's nemisis

Cust and his .884 OPS hitting in the Cell would be awesome
IMO a much cheaper in terms of cost to fill DH and he’s signed through 2011.

Pretty much went the same way.
