VEB Needs a Tagline
by erik on Mar 11, 2010 5:35 PM EST
478 comments
An unofficial St. Louis Cardinals blog is pretty unoriginal and is flat out blander than bland. I know VEB peoples are more creative than this.
Lookout Landing switches out their tagline constantly, anything from proclaiming hatred for people who think Adrian Beltre is overpaid and overrated, to commenting on their center fielders sexiness, to their most recent "Felix is Ours and You Can't Have Him"
McCovey Chronicles has the humorous "In Play: Outs" as their tagline. Using GameDay language while mocking your team simultaneously in such a pithy fashion has to make the blog more fun for their community.
Royals Review has "Nobody Getz out Alive". Using a pun with their utility infielder. Not bad.
How in the world does VEB, the meme factory that it is, get stuck with a tagline of "An Unofficial St. Louis Cardinals blog" for YEARS?
C'mon VEB staff. Make with a tagline. We need something snappy, stat.

STAB STAB STAB
I heart this.
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
