CONFUSION
Linda Cohn of ESPN brought it to my attention last night, and I kinda knew it would happen all along once both of them were playing in the NL.
So for now on, I will refer to the Alex Gonzalezes by saying either Cubbie Gonzalez or Marlin Gonzalez. It's easy, it's simple, and though I don't actually have to pronounce it here in blogspace, it rolls of the tongue better.
This is probably what they should be doing on the broadcasts, as opposed to, say, slamming Manny for admiring his slump-busting home run or bringing up Buckner on every rolling grounder to Scott Hatteberg (thanks, Bill Simmons).
