Cake honoring Bobby Cox has unfortunate misspelling (UPDATE II)
Here is Bobby Cox's cake in its original form. And . . .
(Updated with details and comments from Bobby Cox and Johnny Isakson’s spokesperson.)
Bobby Cox’s final season as Braves manager is not quite going as expected. The team is struggling and even a cake ordered for his honor on Capitol Hill spelled his name incorrectly.
I mean, REALLY incorrectly.
. . . here is the cake after some nifty editing by Isakson staffers.
Cox was being honored for his 50 years in baseball. Senators Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) hosted a ceremony, inviting the Braves’ manager, as well as players and officials. But the cake, which was to read, “Thanks for 50 great years Bobby Cox” had an unfortunate and profane misspelling of his last name.
Come on. I know the Braves probably should have won another World Series or two during Cox’s reign. But isn’t this a little harsh for a sendoff?
Sheridan Watson, Isakson’s spokesperson, confirmed Tuesday’s gaffe and gave this accounting of the day’s events: “Bobby and the players came to the Hill and spoke at our staff meeting. Immediately after the staff meeting, he and players posed for pictures and signed baseballs for our staff members. The scheduler and I then went to the Capitol to get ready for the reception. The catering company had delivered the cake and we immediately realized his last name was spelled incorrectly. The only people who saw it were me, the scheduler and unfortunately some media members who had arrived early and took pictures. We immediately started cutting the cake.”
And what happened to those pieces of cake that were cut out?
“We smeared the icing so you couldn’t make out what it said,” she said.
And then they were served.
Cox said he didn’t find out about CakeGate until somebody from the Braves told him Wednesday.
“That’s funny,” Cox said. “What bakery did he get that cake? That’s what I want to know.”
A Washington area reporter in the visiting manager’s office had missed the story and asked Cox how they spelled his name.
“The wrong way,” Cox said, drawing a round of laughter.
Cox said he did eat a piece of the cake: “It was good.”
Nonetheless, Watson said the manager will be getting an apology from Restaurant Associates, the catering company used at the Capitol.
How does something like this happen?
According to Watson, Restaurant Associates ordered the cake from a bakery that they don’t normally use and gave the order over the phone. They never specified how to spell Cox, as if that would seem necessary.
“I’m sure one day I’ll be able to laugh about this.”

Who would’ve known Bobby Valentine was in the dessert business?……Still, not checking the cake before it got to the Capitol? And these staffers are the folks really running the government? Frightening…..First, but with a sad shake of the head…..

First thing I want to know is who paid for this. Was it the taxpaeyers. Secondly, this is what happens when one does not pay attention as most of our politicans do not do. If you watch any of the television programs regarding cakes. They always ask the purchaser to spell the name and print it out. So the question rest with the Senators and their staff not the bakery. But again, as Politicans always do they blame their shortcomings on someone else. Ok, I Got it. Lets blame it on President Obama or a member of his staff.

Just keep track of this road trip and see, I swear we lose every time we wear blue and win when we wear gray.
I wonder if anyone keeps those stats, won loss record with different color jerseys.
Get rid of them, they look like softball uniforms and thats how we play in them, like beer league softball players!!
Go back to the classic home whites, (get rid of the red ones too) and classic road gray, they will feel like major leaguers and guarantee they will play better.

True story: I was in the US Army and had basic training at Ft. Benning in the late 60s. On the first day there I saw another guy from my home town who I knew of, but was not friends with. His dad was a lawyer in my home town and their last name was Short, S-H-O-R-T. He was in the company barracks next to mine, and the next morning when we fell out for formation at 5AM, I heard a tremendous uproar of laughter from the group next to us during our roll call. The next morning I heard the same thing, so decided to pay attention and listen intently on the following morning. I noticed while listening that even though our DI was calling names out in correct order (first then last), theirs was calling the roll by last name, then first. I looked over just before he called out the name of the guy from my hometown, and saw this huge grin break out on the DI’s face. He paused, called out his last name, then his first name which was Peter, immediately followed by another outburst of laughter. Poor guy, I thought, he will have to endure that for 8 weeks. Little did his parents realize what embarassment they would cause their son later in life.

Fact 1 – there is only 1 vendor cakes are ordered from when you order through Restaurant Associates @ the U.S. Senate.
Fact 2 – anytime a cake is ordered, the only way they do it is through the phone – nothing is ever faxed or e-mailed in.
Fact 4 – the name was not spelled out when the order was called in. In the catering industry, this is a major faux pas – especially when your clients are U.S. Senators.
Fact 3 – nobody at Senate Catering checked the cake before sending it to the Senator.
It sure looks like the catering team at Restaurant Associates is made up of a real bunch of winners!

Cracker Jack
May 6th, 2010

Hey Crack Jacket – some things done well – the emancipation proclamation, the Marshall Plan, Apollo moon landings, federal crackdowns on domestics terrorists – like Timothy McVeigh, the bill of rights, women’s rights, civil rights, Clean Water and Clean Air Acts, Workplace Safety laws and regs, consumer protection agencies (which ceased functioning over much of the 2000s – thanks a lot Dubya!), The Interstate Highway System, Federal Deposit Insurance, GI Bill…
The point is, it’s the simpletons who say government is always wrong or right. It’s more complex than that.
Way to go Johnny Isakson!

that the dimwits who keep proclaiming ‘first’ at the start of every blog HAS to be ugag fans. HAS TO BE!
after all, they are the only fan base that is obsessed with being number 1. they declares themselves national champions before the start of each an every football season. its been that way since one of herschel’s personas played for them 30 years ago. they also declare themselves recruiting national champs many years. personally i associate ugagers with the no 2 more than no1.
‘
of course we all know that the only things ugags are no 1 at are …..
- the size of the footballs team’s arrest ledger each and every year
- the amount of urine ugag fans deposit on the ugag library carpet every Saturday
- the amount of trash strewn on their campus each weekend
- the number of drunk and disorderly arrests they have each weekend. maybe this is the way the ugag fans are able to get autographs from their favorite football player-
sad but true.
i gag you gag we gag for ugag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not as bad as the live shot by a TV reporter during a Braves postgame celebration, throwing Cox a couple of questions then asking “… and you are?” Classic.

Actually, that’s about as close as anyone associated with Washington gets to having something correct.
But Cake wording being incorrect could have been a lot worse — It could have said that he is a “GOOD MANAGER”.

Braves Manager Bobby Cox Honored By Capitol Hill Pervs | David Reinstein
May 6th, 2010
2:05 pm
[...] Baseball manager Bobby Cox of the Atlanta Braves is finally retiring at the end of this year, after winning so many baseball games. He came to Capitol Hill on Tuesday for a reception, with cake, thrown by Sens. Rockefeller and Isakson. (Rockefeller doesn’t even represent Georgia! He is just a Rockefeller and can do anything he wants.) But then the cake said “Cocks,” a funny word meaning penises or chickens. Bobby Cox was so personally offended that he murdered everyone in the entire United States Capitol, with his cock. [Atlanta Journal-Constitution] [...]

What a laughing crock, croc, krock. ahhh. Ineptitude at its finest. Thanks to the RA Mgr for providing some National comic relief this week as the stock market continues to tank! Better yet, maybe they will consider this a new marketing promotion. You mean to tell me that Nobody pre-checked the cake???SNL or Leno can have a “field day” with this one….

This is so typical for young people with really, really short attention spans. It happens to me all the time in sending a brief e-mail to one of them and finding they were unable to process even two sentences without losing it. This may turn out to be one of the most e-mailed stories of the year, if not all time. I can’t decide if the story or the comments are better. A toss-up, I guess.

Whoever ordered the cake should be fired too. That looks like some BS you get at a grocery store. The hand writing itself is offensive, looks like a 5 year old did it. This is Bobby Cox, there should have been a well designed cake with some fondant. Shame on them for allowing this cake to even be on the table. They should be embarrassed for crappy cake, not just the name misspelling.

Best typo ever was in a patent. You can find it by searching for patents on http://www.uspto.gov (U.S. patent no. 5,342,841). What was intended was to say that male Wistar rats were fasted from food and water over an extended period of time. However, the word “fisted” was used instead. A certificate of correction was filed in the patent to correct the typo. Imagine how embarrasing it was for the associate to go to the partner and point out the typo, and how they had to explain to the client how they were going to file the certificate of correction.

The cake decorator simply decided to spell with the same ineptitude that Bobby manages. Everything that involves that man ends up in chaos and failure.

A lot of funny here, at least Bobby is a good enough guy to laugh over it all. 20+ years ago i was at work, A man walked in, said he had an appointment, and his name was strange, I said OK, Sir, if you could just spell it for me?
He looked at me odd, then said S-T-R-A-N-G-E.. He didn’t have a strange name. He was simply Mr Strange. Failure to Communicate 101, lol!
