    No one would go. The muckity-mucks who plan the outings bristle if it isn't a city with Major League Baseball.

    The amount of comedy possibly spawned from this type of promotion tickles me to no end.

    If you're covering the team, what would you call the home park? Would you have to change the name every night?

    "... as the Chiefs ran their Bradley Student Union Store Stadium winning streak to five. Well, technically, it's only one win and no streak, because it wasn't called Bradley Student Union Store Stadium any of the last four games."

    They did this at the Fleet Center/Boston Garden after Bank of America bought Fleet.

    The guy I know at Team Marketing Report bought it for a day. Some New York lawyer also paid to have it named for Derek Jeter. I can't remember now if they allowed that or not.

    After only reading the topic, I thought the ballpark's original name was Daily Stadium.

    I'm good for another $10. Now we're down to $4,800.

    Hey sports radio fans, It's Writing Irish's "Statistics Corner!" Sponsored by the Lonely Pube on the Sheet Motel, on Springfield in East Peoria...luxury by the week, night or hour. Irish?

    Writing Irish:
    Good evening baseball fans and welcome to another look at the trends behind the numbers on Stats Corner. It's a breezy spring evening here at Chick'n-on-a-Stick Field, where your Chiefs will host the visiting Palookaville Purple Soxx in just minutes! But first, let's see how the Chiefs typically do on food-themed-stadium-name nights. Peoria's 7-4 in foodies, thanks in part to last Saturday's 9-to-1 thumping of visiting Dullsville at Chef Wong's Pacific Rim Buffet Palace Field. But wait, the numbers have some bad news, too. The Chiefs are 0-2 when the home stadium is named after Chick'n-on-a-Stick. That's right, Peoria dropped the home opener to Podunk in a poultry-themed day game, then disappointed the fans on Nugget Night with an extra-inning loss to Prairieton. Winless at the 'Stick? Maybe tonight, the Chiefs can break the Chick'n-on-a-Stick curse with a win over Palookaville! Back to you, studio douche!

    Radio host:
    Thanks asshole! So, do you think the Chiefs are ready to deep-fry the Soxx? Division-leading Prairieton is off tonight...gaining a half-game in the standings would be finger-lickin' good!

    Writing Irish:
    Well, to get a win, the Chiefs will have to hit the ball against a tough old rooster. Palookaville's starting pitcher tonight is journeyman fireballer "Moose" Malone. He's recovering from Tommy John surgery and is down from the big club on a rehab assignment. We'll see if his mended wing is a hot one. Chiefs baseball at the 'Stick, coming up tonight on 1020 AM, The Sports Prick!

    Radio host:
    And there's Writing Irish with another original recipe. Save some blue cheese or ranch for the rest of us, huh Irish?

    Writing Irish:
    What, so you can rub it on your taint? That's about it for Statistics Corner. Go fuck yourself, fuck Chick'n-on-a-Stick, and to fuck with your show coming up next on the Peoria Chiefs Baseball fucking Network!
