Re: Nyjer not Nyger
So nyger Morgan had a rough go about it last night but he typically takes some good at bats.
He is usually pretty good in the field as well...what's his uzr again? And should we speculate as to where he gets traded to in the off season?

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with people being used to the spelling of Niger.

Re: Nyjer not Nyger
Yeah, cause Nyjer is such a common name.
In addition, all the anti-Mexicanos here can go to hell for the "Jamie" Garcia misspellings.

Re: Nyjer not Nyger
You know, there's that bar thing at the top of the page where Michael puts special announcements about maintenance and stuff, and it appears on every page. I think that would be an appropriate spot, since Nyjer's name is apt to come up in any discussion of any subject, and who really wants to be racist?
