May 6, 200620 yr I was wondering what kind of nick names you guys would come up with for players. There are two types of nick names. You got the funny ones that Chris Berman comes up with. "Well Dressed" Armani Tumor. Albert "Winnie the" Pujols...ect etc. Then you have ordinary nick names like "Chipper," "The Mayer," and "Big Papi." I caught in to Berman's style of nickname giving years ago, and find myself coming up with nicknames even when Im not trying to do so. Thats how I came up with my name. Here are some others I came up with. I also added a little extra commentary that Berman would say when he's commentating something done by one these players. Charles" Bronson Arroyo Derek "hits harder than Bruce" Lee (Carlos Lee could use it too.) "Web" Jim Edmonds- would be the all time best nick name on BBTN "Bishop Don magic" Juan Pierre Jim "Are they still pitching" Thome?? "Yes. And he crushes it yet again. Waaaay outa the yard." Adam "Mom take a look at what I've" Dunn. "3 run shot to DEEP right field. "I make people come to Reds games. Maybe not as many people as other teams get, but the ones who do show up are showing up because I do things like this." Travis "Breaks a baseball in" Hafner. Nick "Im the Juggernaut" Punto.- You gota be hip to that Juggernaut/Xmen voice over to get this one. I posted it in The Outfield forum. Jason "its my names thats on the" Marquis Rich "My skills are now" Harden Houston "I can tell you how to get to Seaseme" Street "And the first place you have to go is back to your dugout! Strikeout with the high cheese to end the game and the A's have now won 6 in a row!" Jeremy "James" Bonderman "Skaken, not stir. And Bonderman had Konerko's knees shakin with that curve ball. 7 Strikeouts through 5!"

May 7, 200620 yr Chris Shelton - Big Red Dmitri Young - Meat Pudge, of course Maggs, of course Curtis Granderson - Grandy Joel Zumaya - Zoom That's pretty much all I can think of on the Tigers. They are basically the only team I use nicknames for since I pay attention to them all the time.
