Making the LLM Blush
By Amanda
Among my e-mail was a message from a Reds staffer with this beautiful sentence:
Got down here in Sarasota a couple days ago. Everyone looks great. Griffey is in very good shape. Just worked with Bubba - nice guy. Told Javy he's the Latin Love Machine on the web - he was quite embarrassed.
And to think just a year and a half later, our favorite little catcher would discover what we so affectionately call him.
2007 is the year, baby.
I wonder though: if he was embarrassed by being called “the Latin Love Machine,” how would he respond to seeing the bouncing Javy head?
ROFL!
But I’m almost afraid to click on that link…

It is exactly what it says. C’mon, click it! You’ll be glad you did.

I’m guessing you got full credit for the nickname too… :rolleyes:

It’s one of the benefits I get for maintaining a blog.
Actually, it didn’t sound like anyone really got credit, which is good I think. Calling him LLM is in the collective conciousness now.

I will give you credit for sticking around for almost 2 years now. That’s truly impressive. I barely made it 1 year before crapping out. It’s probably a good thing too, better to burn out than fade away.
Seriously though, it is kind of amazing how a throwaway comment describing your first Human League entry morphed into the coolest nickname on the Reds. This internet is a weird beast.
