Um, right...

It has been requested on several occasions that her name not be used like that.

 

Seriously? Just strikes me as odd people would even care.

 

We've quashed a number of nicknames for people like Corey Patterson and Glendon Rusch as well. There's a point where nicknames cross the line from being funny and clever, to immature and childish, and even more so...annoying.

 

Think of this as a general rule: if it's in the word filter, it's there for a reason. Don't try to avoid it by getting cute with the spelling.

 

I love the irony of this coupled with the fact that Rusch is used by the word filter as a substitute for an "obscenity."

 

It's used for that obscenity because that obscenity was used as a nickname for Rusch.

 

Rusch pitched like crap today.

 

Rusch pitched like crap today.

 

So it's like "Marquis pitched like Rusch today"? :D

 

 

More like... look at those nice Rusch in my avatar.

 

Yes young man, I know of which he speaks! I was going for the second definition in the dictionary, the one often overlooked and very misunderstood.

I don't think Muskat or musk rat or whatever is necessarily offensive. It's just a nickname. People get nicknames. Come on. The White Sox' beat writer is Scott Merkin. That makes the rat of musk seem not so bad.

lol

I giggle immaturely everytime I read his name online or in TSN. :P
