How much time before C77 creates a new identity?

I kinda liked slapperdad's response, it made me chuckle. one of the reasons I like to read these posts.

You actually read that tirate? Talk about your quality time! Do you guys actually know anything about softball! Talk softball! By the way Slappers dad, your religious comment is outrageous!!!! OUTRAGEOUS! This is my final post, I've have nothing more to say to you, or anyone else that shares your opinions!!!

I'm really sorry, you must be a Robert Johnson fan. I really didn't mean to besmirch the man's memory, all that stuff is could just be a myth. I've never looked it up on snopes.com. You know there's a reference to it in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. I really love John Goodman's character in that movie, I never really thought Goodman got his due as a comedic actor. He seems to be a regular with the Coen brothers. My personal favorite of course is The Big Lebowski, that rug tied the room together, did it not? I'm planning on a trip to Lebowskifest next summer, you interested in joining me, I plan on dressing up as a Walter Sobchak, who would you like to go as? I think you'd be a great Donny or Liam O'Brien. If you're a good bowler, you could go as Jesus Quintana, but that creep can roll man. Plus you'd need the hairnet and the purple jumpsuit.

I read Goliath's tirate. It seems kosher enough, except for the soccer reference. I did skip over some of the big words though.

For those of you using the word "tirate" here's the word's definition from the urban dictionary:

tirate - When you're cranky because you're tired. Hangriness and tirateness end many a couple's relationship when they go on holiday together or generally spend so much time together that the other becomes the target of anger stemming from biological cycles. While tirate or hangry the afflicted person won't accept the fact that the tantrum is unjustified, so trying to play it down like this, won't usually end well.

I think the word y'all are looking to use here is "tirade". Hopefully your (not you're) softball knowledge is better than....well you get my point.

Now onto the use of "Gold" after team names.....I think personally there should be some creative colors use like Crush-Chartreuse or Prospects-Lavender or maybe even Dreams-Aquamarine (BTW...I am not singling out any other organizations). I love these kinds of conversations which in the end are meaningless but great fun to read.

I got to run now so I can take my 8U kid to the US National Team tryouts as she was extended an invitation while playing on the 16U Central Indiana Racers Platinum Premier Gold "AAA" team. Hey wait, didn't they already announce the US team? Goes to show you what I know! Finally, from the words of Jim Rome, Slapper Dad you're Epic, Classic and a real contender for the annual Smackdown call in show.

Relax people, let teams call themselves whatever they want. It's up to you parents and players to investigate those teams and decide if it is what you want as a player and family.
