"and the hits just keep on coming"


Jones has not been alone though, as Jason Kendall has gone 6-for-9 (.667) with four RBI in helping the Cubs take the first two games by a combined score of 16-4.

On the course!
Trailing soda and pop in popularity is coke, which has influence in the south likely due to the location of the Coca-Cola plant in Georgia. ?I?ll have a coke," ?What kind of coke?":shrug: , ?Root beer please".

Americans'..we are even lazy when ordering a beverage.:scared


Uh, no..........That would be "Suth'ners". They are renowned for their inherent laziness. Or as they like to phrase it, "We're a little slower paced down here than ya'll are."

Who the fugh calls it "sweeping" the carpet?
out here in Indiana they "sweep" with the vacuum cleaner instead of vacuuming with the damn thing.

"i'm going to sweep the living room now that the company has left".

meanwhile they take the vacuum cleaner out and sweep the living room with it :shrug:

"Soft drink" commonly refers to cold, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverages in the United States. Carbonated beverages are regionally known as:

"Coke", in most of the South, including New Mexico and much of eastern and southern Oklahoma. Some older generations of Southerners refer to soft drinks as "dope".
"Pop" in most of the Midwest and Mountain West and into the western part of the Northeast, including such cities as Chicago, Illinois;Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; Erie, Pennsylvania and Buffalo, NY; and as far south as the northern half of Oklahoma. The majority of the state of Michigan (including the Upper Peninsula), especially the Metro Detroit area specifically call soft drinks "Pop" (Faygo, a brand of soft drink made in Detroit is an example of this). In the lower Midwest, such as southern Illinois, southern Indiana, "soft drink" predominates.
"Soda" in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic states, the Southwest (California, Nevada, Arizona), Hawaii, Florida (almost equally mixed with the phrase "coke"), and small parts of the Midwest (around St. Louis; and Southeast Wisconsin).
"Tonic" is used all over eastern New England although the usage is being replaced with "soda"; cola drinks are generally referred to as "Coke" (or sometimes "Pepsi") unless another brand is specified.
"Soda pop" is used by some speakers, especially in the mountain west. "Soda" or "drinks" is common in Idaho and Utah.
"Drink", "cold drink", and "soda" are locally common in southern Virginia and the Carolinas, spreading from there as far as Louisiana.
"Cold drink" is the phrase of choice in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In Oregon, "pop" and "soda pop" refer to either cola brand and their respective flavors (Coke v Pepsi) based on the local preference.
At many restaurants in the U.S., the products of only a single major beverage producer, such as The Coca-Cola Company or PepsiCo, are available. While patrons requesting a "coke" may be truly indifferent as to which cola brand they receive, the careful server will confirm intent with a question like "Is Pepsi ok?" Similarly, 7 Up or Sprite may indicate whichever clear, carbonated, citrus-flavoured drink happens to be at hand. The generic uses of these brand names does not affect the local usage of the words "pop" or "soda", to mean any carbonated beverage.
