The ladies love "Lex Sweden"

Hello, I'm Alfred Blacksburg.

Well, not really. That's the "alias" I got from this site -- the Ron Mexico name generator. I heard about it on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning."

For those of you who don't know, "Ron Mexico" is the alias known to be used at hotels on road trips by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. The creator of the site above made this tongue-in-cheek site as a little joke. I mean, "Ron Mexico?" Snicker. Sounds almost '70s-porn-star-ish.

But who's to say our beloved A's wouldn't be using this site to create their own aliases, so they won't get mobbed by the throngs of fans who follow them while on the road? As A's Nation, I consider it a public service to know what our A's names would be at Holiday Inns all across the American League. I'm sure some of our female followers would run, not walk, to the hotel where "Lex Sweden" is staying!

So I've taken the liberty of slapping the whole A's roster through this site. And let's hope "Stark Argentina" keeps raking against the White Sox tonight!
