COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.


Team Cheers

  • 72 and Infinite — (formerly Spicy) the team's official slogan. This includes other derivations of 72°, of terms for spiciness, and also of simply shouting the name of a favorite source of capsaicin in one's life.
  • 22.2 repeating — the temperature conversion to Celsius for fans in non-US countries.
  • Live Más — a reference to a now-defunct, turn-of-the-century taco-based dining establishment.
  • Taco Tuesday — a date invoked even on days that are not Tuesday. Sometimes, "Taco Tuesday came early this year," an exclamation that ignores the guaranteed frequency of Tuesdays.
  • We eatin' tonight; Tonight we feast; and other emphatic turns of phrase referring to consumption of tacos.
  • Carne Asada, sung in the meter of the 1990s hit single, Macarena. Commonly used when the Tacos are facing the Steaks.
  • WE DON'T CRACK, referring to their firm taco shells and exceptional defense.
  • Let's go TA-COS, 👏, 👏, 👏👏👏 Chanted during particularly tense moments to invigorate the team.
  • Liberal use of the taco emoji (🌮), sometimes accompanied by the chili emoji (🌶) to denote spicy plays.
  • Occasional use of the pineapple and crown emojis (🍍👑), a reference to franchise manager Al Pastor.
  • BONGERS — Used either positively or negatively, often with "(positive)" or "(negative)" following it.
  • EAT — EAT.

Shadowed Players

*When doing the lore jam for Yummy Elliot, we made a starboard specifically for it, messages needing 5 peanut emojis to make it to the board. Someone said "Upnut" and it stuck.
**Often not followed by "(positive)" or "(negative)" as it's assumed to be negative, stemming from Yummy Elliott's misuse of the term.
