Hey guys. Anyone got any new nicknames that haven't been shared? I got a few that have been used a lot lately.
Dwight Evans - Dwayne "The Main Vein" Evans
Tom Brookens - "The Brooken Bridge"
Dave Bergman - "Lance Bergman"
Jack Morris - "Zack Morris"
Eric King - "Kerry King"
Jose Uribe - "JUribe" (pronounced Jew-ribe)
John Tudor - "Tudors Down"
Armas
Tom Brookens - Turd Burglar
Jim Rice - Uncle Ben
Billy Hatcher - Terry
Darryl Strawberry - Shortcake, Crackpipe
I can give some from my brother when he was about 12:
Dan Gladden: Damn Gladden to meet ya
Kent Hrbek: Fat Hrbek
George Bell: Taco Bell
Gagne: Gagme with a spoon
That's just a taste. He had the dorkiest nicknames for everyone.
Gagme with a spoon was ours too. What else . . .
All my bud and I did really was say each last name with a high, throated voice, like darryl STRAWBERRY!!!! (insert voice here)
Either that or we'd pronounce the name really fast, like LENNYDYKSTRA!!!!!
Bill Schroeder (Schrdr) - Scrotum Eater
That's always been one of our classics but you have to remember to get it in during the 5 seconds it takes to sub for him in his first at bat.
I think that there should be an All-Nickname team put together here. at the Dee-Nee forum. Everybody throw in your favorites. Unless of course there has already been some posts about this. Just like a normal team. One at each position. 4 subs and 4 pitchers.
