The exclamation point is unnecessary. And I sort of would have preferred “movit aughn over”
but I don’t understand what a slump has to do with any of this.
The same reason people said me misspelling schneid was a jynx. And to answer @Cesar Crespo’s question, I was thinking of something Pedroia related, or something honoring the ‘07 team, the team that won the year I signed up at SOSH. Or even going back to Bosox4416 is fine, I don’t mean to cause trouble at all!

I am sure you didn’t meant it in this way but I don’t appreciate being compared in any way to a white supremacist and a homophobe. Though I know of no similar allegations against Nomar (from what I’ve read he seems to be a great guy), I created this account about 16 years ago and I’m out on hero worship in general.

Sorry I know you didn’t mean anything untoward by it; I’m just extra sensitive to those things these days.

Can I get a name change to Sad Sam Jones?

Ford Frick's Asterisk was a carryover from a couple of other sites as a baseball history reference that wasn't team specific, but it's always felt Yankees-centric here.

Sorry I missed this for a few weeks. You're Sad Sam Jones now, but I hope you can cheer up.

Could I revisit this? I'd love "Dustin, The Wind" or just back to "Bosox4416"

SoSH used to have a policy against changing names, but it's antique and can be suspended. PM me with your preferred new name. Expect some reminder of your old username to show up in your tagline (ie, "still hates Dave Kerpen") -- we'd like to maintain some continuity and recognizability.

I'll do this only once per user, so choose wisely.

Any obscure Redsox players or players in general?

There's a "1 time name change" policy but given your name is so familiar, maybe they'll change it. If you chose a player, I heavily suggest you google that player to make sure they aren't involved in any off field shenanigans.

I almost went with Rick Asadoorian. No clue if it's in use as I decided to go with Cesar Crespo because it was the name on a 2nd long dormant account I had.

edit: Unless I'm doing it wrong (very good chance), there are no Rick's on this side at all?

Mines a simple request, can my user name be changed to: TheMuddyChicken
SoSH is the only place on the inter webs where it’s two words and missing the the.
Thanks in advance.

Could I be Sherm Feller, please? I realized about a half-second after I chose 'Ferm Sheller' that it's lame (which is about a half-second later than everyone else, I'm sure).

Sounds like testimony before the parole board....
Dear SoSH,

Looking back 16 years, I see a version of myself that I deeply regret. I’ve spent every day on the main board learning, growing, and striving to be a better poster. If I could speak to the Wily Mo Lester of 16 years ago, I would tell him that change is possible. Today, I stand before you, ready to prove that I am no longer defined by my past mistakes. Granting me a user name change would be a crucial step towards rebuilding my user profile and contributing positively to Views and News and other serious boards.

Sincerely,
Wily Mo Lester

Could we perhaps revisit this? I feel like we have had some awful luck after this change, I know that's silly.
Happy to make a Jimmy Fun donation for the honor
OK, Dustin it is. Bring us some better luck. I hope you're not attached to a capitalized The.

I don't plan to change my handle right now, but I think up new ones from time to time. If anybody wants "Quintana Mo Bay" it's all yours.

Back in the day I couldn't put an apostrophe for some reason...or I just didn't. If we can make it Reardon's Beard, well, the professor in me can finally put things right and drink a beer in celebration.

I can certainly understand the need to soothe one's inner professor.
