What do we call them?

Labral tear survivors and comeback candidates need a new name ... be sure to register, vote, and then check out the rest of the forums!

Netshrine is not the official forum of BP and should not be considered such. It is simply a place I like to hang out, talk baseball intelligently (or at least as close as I can get), and meet some great people.

it's probably too long, but how about labruminators? or labrasives? ok, i'll shut my labrasilian mouth now...

So "labroids" is out, huh? I thought that was a pretty good choice.

Wolf Hopper · 03-26-2003, 07:33 AM

Scope Copers?

Craig S. · 03-26-2003, 08:17 AM

I'm with nyyfan. I don't see anything wrong with "labroids", and I think that one should stick.

I like Labrensteins. Pronounced as Gene Wilder would have pronounced it.

KCBOOMER · 03-26-2003, 09:44 AM

Sorry, Will, I can't say that I like any of them. Labroids isn't bad, though.

I like Labradors, if only because it spawns Labrador Relievers.

gyb13 · 03-26-2003, 01:10 PM

as opposed to Golden Retrievers?

I voted for "labradors", but would have gone with "labroids", too...
