The gum people will probably have the same talk with them MLB did and the dog’s name will have to be changed to “Big Aqua.” (“Big Blue” would just bring the IBM guys down on you.)

From what I can tell, the entire front office of this outfit is made up of marketing executives. The fact that they screwed up this naming situation so massively even though that is presumably their core competency does not bode well for the enterprise.

I will still go, because I love baseball, but really, this is pretty moronic.

I really really hope that they get a clue and change the name of the dog at least.

Yeah, I think a dog mascot named “Big Blue” would be cool, but oh well. My softball schedule for next week is empty, so I’m hoping to get to the Sox game. We’ll see…

I’m so bummed I didn’t make the dance team. Maybe next year.

Nice photos! I see that they are not changing the logo. Your right, the red/blue thing is confusing, then again, maybe it will be one of those things that makes them unique.
