Ehhhh I dunno 'bout that one. :/ I can't stand that song, one of the most annoying overplayed songs ever. (Who Let the Dogs Out)
Wait, I thought his nickname is Dalgy??? BTW, I got a cool screensaver for my phone. The exit sign for Oswalt Rd. off I-35 in Oklahoma. It'll replace my Championship Banner one after we win it all in June!
the atlanta braves did something like this a few years back, personally i think the Astros ones are better!
I always thought it was Dalgy, you know short for HiDALGO... The Dog part comes from the song I guess...
Thats the look the intros for the broadcasts of each Astros games will have. It will be animated, looking just like that. I saw some of the video, I'm not sure exactly what they're going to use but it was really cool. Not just the usual highlight video.
Man, what a bad thread. The nickname Doggy is short for Hidalgo. It doesn't make sense from an English teacher perspective, but it doesn't have to. It's English. For the record, I don't know if Richard Hidalgo has any opinion whatsoever about "Who Let the Dogs Out." Last year he also came to bat to DMX's "Where my Dog's at?" and "Bark wit me" by Bow Wow (at the time of that recording, still "Li'l Bow Wow"), so if he has an affinity to "Who Let the Dogs Out," it's strictly because it has his nickname in it. ugh. In other "songs guys come to bat to" news Craig Biggio will probably be using U2's "Mysterious Ways" again this year, which means, that in the time he's been coming to bat with that song, it has gone from pop radio to "classic rock" radio.
It NEVER was Dalgy. Sure, it was. http://www.cjbaseball.com/mates.htm Source: CJ Nitkowski, former teammate.
Yeah, I'll believe a HOF broadcaster over a scrub pitcher any day of the week. Quite possibly twice on Sundays.
Yeah, I'll believe a HOF broadcaster over a scrub pitcher any day of the week. A semi-senile one who can't pronounce people's names properly? He probably couldn't figure out how to say "Dalgy" and just simplified it to Doggy... and then conned people like yourself into believing it was the correct pronounication.
Nope, I'm merely dalging him. Big difference! Major, I don't know what you're talking about. Next, you'll be telling me that it's Rafael Palmiero, not Raifual Palierimistaio. Milo must've been relieved when Robertson was traded.
I still like Pettite and Clemens' billboard alot better. I do like how they are doing the cartoon drawings since last year.
