February 23, 200620 yr Just curious, but in addition to Cabs and D-Train, what are we calling the "Kids"? For example: Hermy? Willy? When the spring games start I'd like to see some good nicks on these guys when we talk about them (in I am assuming spring training game threads!!!!!) :mischief2
February 23, 200620 yr Hanley Ramirez = Shadez Josh Willingham = Alabama Hammer, or Hammer Dan Uggla = Beast thats all I got
February 23, 200620 yr not really a nickname but UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUggla
February 23, 200620 yr Y. Petit can be YOSHI!!!!!!! i have noo idea what the hell the rest of his name is youshmiero? somethin crazy like that YOSHI
February 23, 200620 yr I'll agree with Shadez, Hermi, and Willy. Anibal will undoubtedly be referred to as Dirty Sanchez if/when he tanks. Amezaga and Johnson will obviously be AA and JJ for the rest of their careers. Actually, I could see AA as a Fredo, too. Others nicknames could include TiBo (Bowyer) or JoBo (Borowski).
February 23, 200620 yr Anibal will undoubtedly be referred to as Dirty Sanchez if/when he tanks. or "Anibal the Cannibal" when he devours opposing hitters.
February 23, 200620 yr Anibal will undoubtedly be referred to as Dirty Sanchez if/when he tanks. or "Anibal the Cannibal" when he devours opposing hitters. I like The Canibal. We can do Jake or Jakey for Mike Jacobs. There's Crow for Vargas, even though he cut his hair he's still got the looks and that nickname is already pretty established on this board. Moe or Big Moe for Moehler. We could call Bowyer "Big Boy" or something. JoBo for Borowski, JJ for Johnson. Guys like Petit and Resop and Bump don't need nicknames (though I like to call Bump a ton of names inapporpraite for the board). Mitre can be Serge. Messenger can be Shooter.
February 23, 200620 yr Why no name for Resop Petit or Bump.....Reese for Resop, Pet for Petit and No slump for Bump
February 23, 200620 yr Why no name for Resop Petit or Bump.....Reese for Resop, Pet for Petit and No slump for Bump We already have a real reese. Something tells me that would get confusing.
February 23, 200620 yr Forgot about Pokey.....Resop does have a real nickname...given to him by his sister when she was little and could not pronounce Christopher.... so I guess it will simply be Resop....his initials are CPR
February 23, 200620 yr No slump for Bump ha.... you know damn well people are gonna rip that one I am going to be quiet on this one. I have my own nickname for him.
February 23, 200620 yr Forgot about Pokey.....Resop does have a real nickname...given to him by his sister when she was little and could not pronounce Christopher.... so I guess it will simply be Resop....his initials are CPR We should wait for TRESOP to have his say, think he may know what his real nickname is :whistle
February 23, 200620 yr I bet all these guys have picked up a nick as they went through the system(s), Betcha someone can find out what they already have.
February 23, 200620 yr We do need new nicknames, since other than The Boy Called Cabs a.k.a. The Boy and Donny Ballgame, there's not much else yet. Dirty Sanchez seems like a clever one, although didn't the diminutive lefty Jesus Sanchez already occupy that nickname?
February 23, 200620 yr Forgot about Pokey.....Resop does have a real nickname...given to him by his sister when she was little and could not pronounce Christopher.... so I guess it will simply be Resop....his initials are CPR best. initials. ever.
February 23, 200620 yr I'll think of nicknames for them if they make it out of ST, then after that I gotta see them play in the bigs.
February 24, 200620 yr The only nickname I have so far is for Nate Bump.... Nate "You Should Not Be Out On The" Bump "During a Big League Game" or, as I called him in early '05 from my right field perch.... "Ass Water" He's still my boy though.... mad props to the senior Marlin.
February 24, 200620 yr Hanley Ramirez- Han-Ram or The Hanley-Man (takeoff from 97' when John Cangelosi was called "The Cangie-man")
February 24, 200620 yr Author If Hanley officially is dubbed Shadez, there needs to be a Shadez Shades giveaway nite

Dirty Sanchez seems like a clever one, although didn't the diminutive lefty Jesus Sanchez already occupy that nickname? I've always been under the impression that Cabs' nickname was superman... I'm pretty sure the board designated him that after a walk-off home run on June 21st, 2003.

February 24, 200620 yr Im sure its well known on this board but my crew and I refer to Dontrelle as "The Don" and "Head First" Nate "Bases Loaded No Outs" Bump Obviously, Lenny "All Time" Harris Hermida will forever be known as "The Slam"
