DEL.ICIO.USBobby Cox weighs in on panda’s name
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Glavine, sticking with the Mets? You win some, you - well, you know the rest.
The bullpen? That’ll work itself out.
The baby panda’s name?
Time out!
Braves Manager Bobby Cox forgot about his team for a few minutes on Thursday to consider a crucial question: What’s the best name to give the baby giant panda at Zoo Atlanta?
He checked out the 10 possible names in front of him as closely as he watches his nine men on the field.
After reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate, Cox penciled in his choice to lead off the names:
Xiao Tao, or “Little Peach.”
It’s the same choice that fellow Braves Jeff Francouer and Brian McCann made earlier this week, by the way.
Hmmm. Could Xiao Tao be on a winning streak?

little peach is great now… but she won’t be LITTLE for much longer! Vote for MEI TAO - beautiful peach - so she has a name for a lifetime!

Bobby Cox needs to stick to choosing good players for the 2007 season and leave naming pandas for the kids!
