I would like to vomit

Good thing it is on clearance:

Oakland A's Rally Monkey 

I simply cannot believe that they would offer this ridiculous product for the A's or any self-respecting team for that matter (Don't worry Angels fans, you don't count). I would like to think that the other teams would prefer to let the Angels keep their stupid little toy to themselves.

Perhaps capitalism taught MLB a lesson and nobody bought these pieces of trash. I only hope that I never see one of these creations again.

Isn't there a new rally elephant?

I thought I saw Lew talking about a new stomper hand puppet (EEwww, who would want to shove their had up stompers butt??!)

But maybe it’s just a toy, not rally related?

What makes something rally?

I do not know how they make them rally monkeys as opposed to un-rally monkeys. Have you ever heard of somebody buying a non-lucky rabbit’s foot? There are forces in the universe I admittedly do not understand. Thankfully, rally monkeys fall into that category.

Beats me

I’ve never understood the rally monkey thing either. How does holding a toy/flipping your cap/waving a towel make your team play better?

I was wondering if the people who hate the monkey also hate the elephant; is it the doll=rally concept that people don’t like, or just the monkey=rally that is bad?

I guess if you want a stuffed monkey in an A’s uniform, buy one. Otherwise you’re just spending money to look like an idiot.(IMO)

Yes

Lew mentioned this from the booth on one of the TV broadcasts.

I don’t like it, but I don’t blame him… He probably figures it’ll draw more people than it drives away.

Somebody in the organization needs to be fired.

The person responsible for those things is a bad soul.

by mikev on May 13, 2008 3:17 PM PDT   0 recs

I think every team had those for a while

I think these came out 2-4 years ago…?

by gdubb925 on May 13, 2008 3:43 PM PDT   0 recs

Huh.

I thought this post was about watching the Mariner games. Turns out I was on the wrong blog.

Also:

Ours apparently is praying.

LMAO

We can unite in our hate of the rally monkey toters.

Not to reignite the flames...

But this is a real thing:

Came in a tiny bag. People stuck it to their chins. First 20,000 fans.

Oakland have a response?

That picture kinda makes me feel a little sick.

I took that guy for my fantasy team with a fairly high draft pick.

Who remembers the "Rally Miggy" that they played on the jumbo tron?

It was Tejada in the dugout jumping up and down.

Im going to buy one

for An tailgate day. It will look cool hanging around my arm, plus I can ask hot chicks if they want to spank my monkey.

Excellent "So uncool it's cool" maneuver. I like it.
