Again, to whoever has the Roosevelt heads, please bring them. They're gold.

Alex has 'em, and he'll be bringing them. Alex, maybe you should show up slightly early to secure the front row of a section?

Hey Kiddios.

O-Drum will be there tonight and MAYBE Sunday. I will know about Sunday by tonight. I am unavailable tomorrow due to Saturday being a rugby day.

Can we get the front few rows for the O-Drum and the signs, or will teh O-Drum force us to take the 10th row or so?

They don't really like the drum to be too close to the front, though last time we sat around the fifth row and it was fine. If you get there early-ish, make sure to request seats in 518, that way we'll have tickets for the first rows of the section and they won't sell 'em to someone else.

Found some time and a pair of Pork Chop Ks, a pair of Fraiser Ks and a pair of Voorhees Ks are currently printing. I'll try to get around to making some Hulking Ks.

Made a Hulk K. I'll post pics in a moment.

Bullpen Ks:

Ligtenberg:


Kershner:


Chulk:


Frasor:

What is the drum's record?

Those are absolutely classic.

Which pitchers are you missing?

Ah, the Frasor K. LOL Random madness I love it!

I'll ask BD at the game what the O-Drum's record is...I think it's a winning record, though.

We're missing De Los Santos, Adams and Lopez. Ideas? If I made a Jennifer Lopez K for Aquilino, I think he might be offended.

For DLS get a tacky religious icon K. The name translates to 'of the saints'.

Do you have all the starters as well, or just Teddy?

RE: Adams. Either Adams family or Patch Adams would make sense. Don't know about the other 2.

RE: Adams. Either Adams family or Patch Adams would make sense.

Or Ricky from trailer park boyz.

Sorry I went 'gangsta' there, make it boys.

So far the only starter we have Ks for is Lilly, because we haven't thought of anything as completely off the wall funny as Theodore Roosevelt for the rest of 'em.

I have a couple of hours now, so I'll poke around on the net to see what I can find.

Those are absolutely classic.

Which pitchers are you missing?


Ok, me stupid. Can someone explain the Kershner reference to me? Is it something to do with Friday the 13th?

Oh wait...Jason. I get it :)

I'm not slow, I'm thorough!

Valerio De Los Santos - Valerie Bertinelli?
Adams - yep Addams Family. Maybe Uncle Fester?
Aquilino Lopez -- J.Lo butt shot might work...

Valerio De Los Santos - Valerie Bertinelli?

Man, I don't think I'd even get that after staring at it for ten minutes.

Maybe I'll make a K with a halo on it?

Hentgen -- Androgynous Pat from SNL?
Roy Halladay -- Roy Horn? Roy Scheider? HAL 9000?
Batista -- ???
Justin Miller --for sure, some kind of classic tattoo

Hank,

How about modifying this image for Terry Adams.

Almost forgot, I found the same font used for Miller's Billy Koch tatoo, so I can use that particular K. He might get it, dunno who else would...

Do you think Terry'd be upset to be associated with Trailer Park Boys, though?

They sure do look alike.

Thoughts?

Nice Addams K!

Though that Trailer Park Boys pic is a classic. I don't think it matters if Terry Adams actually likes it or not :)

C'mon, he won't be encouraged by it if he hates it.

For De Los Santos.

There can only be one image for Halliday and that is of Doc Holliday.

that is the reason they call him doc - i found this image and it almost already has the K in the bottom!!

http://www.vkn.com/newsletters/oct2002/shootfirst-docok.jpg

If not Jennifer Lopez, then George Lopez. (http://media.abc.com/primetime/georgelopez/en/images/gallery/360x240_ep301_3.jpg)

I will be down there tonight, and I'm bringing a fellow baseballist to expose him to the merriment.

Lookin' forward to meeting you, JBR!

C'mon, he won't be encouraged by it if he hates it.

Adams has earned a little grief from the fans. If he also doesn't have a sense of humour, in addition to not acting like much of a team player and blowing up at inopportune times, I say Get Outta Town.

The De Los Santos K might be too obscure, and I like the way the other K's have a consistent style - big picture, K at the bottom right.

Maybe you should make up some generic K's to fill in until you've got specific ones for each pitcher.

Looking forward to meeting me /again/, Hank?

I think that the Ks with the images in the background (like the Addams Family) are far superior to the pictures with the little K in the corner.

Personal preference, and there is no reason why you couldn't mix the two.

Actually, that could work for guys like Aquilino - find a bunch of Lopezes and use a different Lopez with each K.

If I have time I'll run three or four black Ks like the De Los Santos one except with no halo.

Everyone seems to have caught wind of the fact that I'm leaving for two weeks and want me to personally look after their work before I go. Aaaaaaaaaah!

Well, my vacation officially starts with the game tonight.

Batista - Shakespeare, or something quill-ish

That's a great picture of Kelsey Grammer. Brilliant.

You've done well, NFH. You've done well.

Looking forward to meeting me /again/, Hank?

Doh!

Yeah, I have trouble keeping faces and Box handles together. ;)

I think the exception is Grand Funk Railroad because he looks so much not like a guy who'd be named Grand Funk Railroad.

Credit where credit is due -- Jobu found that Kelsey Grammar picture. It's greasily insincere.

I think that the Ks with the images in the background (like the Addams Family) are far superior to the pictures with the little K in the corner.

I agee that those look great here, but in the context of hanging them from the railing on the 500 level the image has to be as big as possible.

Two things...

First off, the next time Doc pitches at home and I'm available... I say we all dress up like doctors and cowboys...

Second... the O-Drum is 2 and 3. However, the O-Drum believes this is due to Terry Adams being our closer.

NFH, think you'll have a name plate for the drum tonight?

The Teddy K's are in my possession, as is the Trusty Jays-Coloured Duct Tape. Luke the New Guy has the Rios sign. I WILL NOT FORGET THE HAMMER IN THIS POST. And I'll be there at the front of 518 stuffing the All-Star ballot box around 6 or 6:15.

I am PUMPED.

YEEHAW.

With all these different K's i hope that Tosca doesn't pull a Reliever Musical Chairs on you

Milhouse: "Is this the untimely end of Milhouse?"
Milhouse #2: [pause] "But Milhouse is my name!"
Milhouse: "But I thought I was the only one!"
Milhouse #2: [shakes head] "A pain I know all too well."
Milhouse: "So this is what it feels like... when doves cry."

Reliever Musical Chairs could be AWESOME! If Lilly, Kershner, Ligtenberg, Chulk and Frasor all K someone in the same game...

Alex, well I should expect this group to come prepared for a matter of such urgency.

One ?... whats up with the ligtenberg pork chop? I am struggling to understand that one....

Oh... and if Towers gets called back up... it should be a facial of sean penn... or maybe some LOTR kinda thing...

As for halladay... I think thats easier... just get a cartoon picture of some kind of doctor or something (but make sure that the doctor looks pissed)

NFH, think you'll have a name plate for the drum tonight?

Sure. How tall is the O-Drum?

One ?... whats up with the ligtenberg pork chop? I am struggling to understand that one....

Look at his sideburns.

I agree with Johnny, the image has to be as big and simple as possible, so it's identifiable from far away.

Slightly better picture of Doc Holliday :

http://www.fauchard.org/publications/Book-images/holliday.jpg

and if Towers gets called back up... it should be a facial of sean penn... or maybe some LOTR kinda thing...

That's another one you could have fun with...

CN Tower
Eiffel Tower
poster for The Two Towers
leaning tower of Pisa

etc.

Hey, when they convert Hentgen to the closer, that'll open up a rotation spot for Josh!

Ok even better pic - http://home.planetinternet.be/~bliek/drew-page/aces-cl-k.jpg

would need some adapting to have it say Halladay instead of Holliday but i think it might work.

First off, the next time Doc pitches at home and I'm available... I say we all dress up like doctors and cowboys...

I'm totally in for this.

UK Alex, that is the BEST DOC IMAGE EVER! I don't have to do anything to it!

NFH i was so chuffed when i found it :) I thought you would like it!

It's totally a knockout. Wow. Great find!

With Lopez, the simplest thing to do, whether you include an image of Jennifer or not, is
K-Lo.

No love for Ted Lilly? Or are the flower and frog references too easy?

For Miguel Batista, maybe use his initials to riff off the Will Smith/Tommy Lee Jones movie:
MkB.

Doc head shot:

http://www.planetkilmer.com/biography/valdoc.gif

BTW, it might cause confusion, but de los Santos is also a "Val" as well...

http://www.posterplanet.net/pictures/images/Vk1b6.gif

jc

Mick---I believe Lilly is already represented by Teddy Roosevelt.

Whatever happened to the Batista-Einstein sign?

K = MBsq

Why not a red cross or hospital "H" for Doc's Ks?

Pretty soon... sportsnet will have no choice but to send a journalist to 518 for a story on the cheer club

Why wait?
Somebody gather all the information in one place, get some quotes from NFH and others, and I'll write up a press release to post here that Coach or Craig can pitch locally.

The Teddy K's are getting lots of coverage on Sportsnet tonite...

What was the discussion about Desi Arnaz though?

Yankee Stadium use to put up Desi Arnaz pictures for Ks whenever El Duque struck somebody out.

The lambchops looked good but the commentators didn't get it.

the Adamms family doesn't "read" on TV but the commentators DO get it....

not sure what that is worth but I love thinking my opinion matters...

P.S. a 3 run homer sucks... I expected more from Terry...

Jeff... what is the Desi-Duque connection?? Just Cuba???

TV guys got the chops/sideburns bit.

How about this picture for Halliday?

I think the portrait was cool for Lilly; doing one for Doc is a little stale.

http://www.nymasons.org/images/young.gif
I still the picture of Cy Young is more appropriate for Halladay. COMN. Heck, there's even a space on the ball for the K. If Faulds and Cerutti don't recognize Cy then they are beyond hope.

I just saw the Alex Rios sign on the sportsnet highlights.

Alex and I were talking during the game, and we came up with either RX of, my personal favourite, Dr. Doom for halladay

the rx
http://www.aperfectworld.org/clipart/healthcare/rx.gif

the doctor doom
http://members.tripod.com/~comics_rendez_vous/doom.gif
http://www.toonopedia.com/docdoom.jpg

for Batista - who knows. Maybe a picture of the Mona Lisa or something like that.

The Hengten - Androgynous pat from SNL seems as good as any

Miller - The beer? Or is that 'innapropriate'

Bonjouri.

Tonight was a great night to be a Jays fan. Four in a Row, The Rios Era has Begun, RIOS! THUMP THUMP, Bow to Verno, Going... Going... Zaun!

PHELPS! We need somebody! PHELPS! Not just anybody!

Dickey. Gary. You Suck! The 518 Version of the Adams Family Theme.

Sparky, Ignite Us. MEN E CHINO!

Alex and U.N. bringing the drum and pickin' up the ladies...

My urge to stand and shout ridiculous nonsense. Broken Drumstick.

We must do something crazy on Sunday... we need costumes! Ideas?

Here's my idea for the Doc's next start... We all dress up as doctors with white coats, nurses uniforms, the works... we make a sign for the 518 facing that says INFIRMARY and we put up red crosses for K's.

That is a wicked idea, BD.

Sadly, I'm out of the signmaking business until after the 13th, when I return from my east coast road trip. But I'll make the crosses and the infirmary sign for Doc's first start after that.

For Miller, I found the font used for his butt tatoo, so I have the same K that's in Koch.

how about incorporating water into aquilino's k sign. get it.. Aqui.. Aqua... nevermind.

How about this for Speier:
http://urbanlegend.f2o.org/legends/images/spy-vs-spy.jpg

Or something along those lines..

C'mon, he won't be encouraged by it if he hates it

That Ricky picture is hilarious! It must be used: c'mon!

1. It is doubtful Adams has ever seen the Showcase Original TPBs.

2. Who wouldn't be flattered to have what would surely be the most talked-about K sign?

Please Please use Ricky. And think of all the exposure you'll be giving our favourite Canadian TV show across the border.

"Frasier K" - I'm still laughing.

Hey, can someone get a discount on a group purchase of labcoats and facemasks for Doc's next start?

You know Frasor's face kinds looks like Kelsey Grammar.

http://www.melhoresdomundo.blogger.com.br/aquaman.jpg

how about incorporating water into aquilino's k sign. get it.. Aqui.. Aqua... nevermind.


Aquaman! COMN.

jc

Aqua is good

When I found that frasier picture, it took me a good solid minute of laughing before I could compose myself to get it saved. Seeing it in person tonight was PRICELESS.

I still like that idea we came up with a long time ago for Roy's K's in the Rx perscription thing.

The doctors outfits for his starts are a great idea. My friend and I actually wanted to do it last year but gave up when we saw costume prices. If anyone can find a good price that would be sweet.

So the sportsnet commentators actually showed and discussed every personalized K tonight!? What the devil did they say about the chops? I imagine they were thrown for a loop.

So who is going to the saturday game? I have alot of things to take care of but if whoever has the K's will be there I'll try my best to get The Hammer and The Hentgen down so we can once again represent the cheer club in style.

DAMN! I wish I heard Wilner! Does anyone know anything more about what was said about The Hentgen?

They mentioned the O-Drum on the radio

http://www.trailerparkboys.com/1024/horiz10.jpg
I think the trailer park boys picture (COMN) should be used. I mean, we aren't saying derogatory about Terry Adams; rather we are only suggesting that he looks like Ricky. The resemblance is so uncanny that it should be used. The comedic value of the picture is pure gold. If it helps, maybe the Trailer Park Boys title can be cropped. Instead of assuming that Terry Adams wouldn't like it, why can't we assume that the guy has a sense of humour.

There's a medical supply place near my house, I'll check on the price of scrubs and masks and hats after my vacation. Should be way cheaper than a costume rental.

And I will bow to the pressure and make the Ricky K when I get back.

I think that Sunday is the next major day, so hopefully we'll get a good crowd out.
I shall be there, but there's a chance I'll be late.
I think bd said he'd bring the O-drum.

I am going Sunday. SUNDAY! sunday. SUNDAY! sunday.

Try walking into your local hospital and saying you're a doctor. Ontario is so desperate for them I'm sure that some staff there would just hand you all the stuff you need.

Regrettably, I can't make it to today's game, and I have the Reliever K's in my possession.

But I'm definitely in for tomorrow, with the duct tape and all.

Alright Jays, looks like the cheer club wont be there to back you up today. But reward us with a win and we'll go extra bonkers on Sunday.

On a completley unrealted note, I cant wait to see The Hentgen bat durring interleauge. I also have a chicken dinner bet with my friend that HLH will hit a dinger.

A couple of guys on one of my slowpitch teams here in London were at the game last night and commented on the signs (without my prompting). So you guys *are* getting noticed. Good job!

Sunday sounds grand.

I actually know someone who has a summer job at a hospital. I doubt the lead is very promising, but I'll investigate nevertheless.

This thread might already be stale, but I'll try it...

I think that the CheerClub should have a signature banner..
I know it was talked about before, but "BlueJays Cheer Club" would look good up there...

Either that or "Cheer Club says, Welcome Alex"
etc...

will probably post this again on the next "Cheer Club" thread...

Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but a stethoscope K sign might be appropriate for Doc.

I've sort of got it for Doc. I've put together an otoscope and stethoscope - even looks a little like a K. Do I need to put it on a webpage and link it or can I attach it somehow?

http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bloojay2001/detail?.dir=/6ceb&.dnm=83be.jpg
COMN - crude, but I imagine NFH could do wonders with it.

Hmmm, they told me computers were gonna be big and I'd better learn how to use them...

http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bloojay2001
Take two...

Fawaz, that's pretty damn clever.

See you guys tomorrow. Still no takers to lead while I'm gone? I'm leaving Monday, so somebody better step up soon or I'll just nominate ya.

How long will you be gone for NFH? The jays dont even play in the dome again until LA on June 8th.

I hope most of you in the GTA will be at Sunday's game to give the Jays a nice send off before their road trip. I attend a rediculous number of homegames and I live about an hour drive from the dome so anyone in that time frame has no excuse. I actually felt pretty guilty about not going to Saturdays game.

Not to detract from Fawaz's great work, but I still like the perscription Rx that has been brought up several times before. It works on many levels in that its simple, classic, very easy to see and recognize from far away and it makes sense, like the good doctor is "perscribing" strikeouts.

Here is a little something I whipped up in paint in 2.3 minutes just so everyone who has no idea what im talking about can say "Ohhhh... THAT thing"

the FAN's Milner, (Mike?) was talking about the section 518 guys on the post game show yesterday, as an example of welcome cheering from the crowd.

he mentioned the drum too...

How long will you be gone for NFH? The jays dont even play in the dome again until LA on June 8th.

I arrive back on June 13th. I'm taking my dad and grandpa to that game (in the Club level), so I won't be Cheer Clubbing again until the next homestand.

It's official -- my buddy whose bachelor party was supposed to be last night who instead spent six hours on the tarmac at an airport in Denver because his plane was grounded by a bad storm is coming to the game today, so the game will sort of be his bachelor party.

He was sitting beside William Hung the whole time.
