Best Nickname

[GDavis]

I think the best nickname on this site is P.S. I Love You for Pat Sheridon.  That's fucking hilarious and it gets me every time.

[Lips]

Dee-Nee!!!!

Can somebody explain its meaning, so it can get me everytime, too?  

[fknmclane]

If I'm not mistaken PS is an abbreviation for Pat Sheridan.  I could be wrong though.

[Gantry]

PS = Pat Sheridan & P.S. something you write at the end of a letter....

Just browsing through the team pages and here's how I rate the Internet-submitted ones:

Most popular - Blank Morris.  Somebody posted it here on the forums - they named him "blank" because they couldn't remember who he was in real life.  And that stuck with me, I'm a big fan of Blank Morris.  Even today I have to take a few seconds to remember his first name.   Shit, I bet even today 50% of RBI fans don't know his real name or think it's Hal Morris...

Funniest - Tom Henke Panky.  I can't remember who gave me that one, but it's fucking funny.  Very similar to our nickname for Falcons kicker Jay "Touchy" Feely...

Best Dee-Nee nickname we never use - Marc "Stinky" Sullivan.  For you Growing Pains fans out there, just kind of came to me one day.  Lips, your goal is to abuse that nickname come tourney time.  Right up your alley...

[jaylums]

The two names I remember were both on Minnesota.  Kirby "Fuckit" and Greg "Gag Me With A Spoon."

Actually we also had Tom "Brewsky."

My buddy's household friend was Dickie Thon.  He'd just keep chanting "Dickie!  Dickie!" whenever he'd plug him in.  Drove me insane.

P.S. I Love You is fucking hillarious...I also love Gibson's nicknames Kimmy Gibler and Kimmy Fistpump

Gibby Fistpump is what we use.  I didn't know there were other forms out there.  I thought I was the only one.

That Henke Panky is hilarious.  That will be in regular use in the McLane household from this day forth.

My two favorite nicknames go to Kent Hrbek and Matt Nokes.  Actually, we use the same, terrible uncreative name for both:  FAT.

[Baines]

These are my favorite Dee-Nee nicknames:
Dave B to the E to the RG, MAN
Spike "I Suck" Owen
Timmy Two Step Teufel
Bobby Son of a Grich
Dale "Reverse Negative" Murphy

A couple of our classics are:
Bob Boone - Boones Farm
Bill Schroeder - Scrotum Eater
Dickie Thon - Thon Th-Thon Thon Thon (To the tune of the Thong Song)

*Correction*
"FAT" Hrbek
"Fatty" Nokes.

[fknmclane]

Shit, my bad.  Either way, they're both fat.  But I'd have to say Fat is the fatter of the two.  Remembe when he pulled Ron Gant off the bag in the 91 Series?  I still hate him for that.

I like him for that.  Why should only the super-fit be professional athletes?  I like that baseball has its Hrbeks, Kruks, Fielders, RBI guys...

You're misunderstanding me.  I love him for being fat.  Nothing wrong with that at all.  Remember when John Kruk said he wasn't an athlete, he was a ballplayer?  Good stuff.  I hate Hrbek because he wrestled Gant off first base and the stupid ump called the out.  Cheap bullshit.

[Baines]

That's funny.  Me and SalBando were fucking pissed when that happened.  We hated Hrbek with a passion after that.  We went and put a bunch of his baseball cards on the dartboard.

Doug E Fresh is a good nickname for DeCinces.  But we always referred to him as "Dickin' Gays"

[SeitzerorFranco]

A couple of our original favorites

Dave "Rags to Riches" Righetti
Steve "Look out" Bedrosian
"Where in the World is" Benito Santiago
Jimmy Key "Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go..."
Harold "Growing" Baines
Kevin "Alka" Seitzer
"Chippen" Dale Murphy
John Franco "American"

As you can tell, we often play with the all-star teams.

[Gantry]

Franco American is most quality, that's going up on the NL page!  We never use The General anyway, think I just whipped that up when making the page...

[Wilfong]

I've heard John Franco "columbo" - after the guy who busted his knee while carrying a refrigerator on his back in the world's strongest man competition.

[ericdavisfan]

Nothing from my childhood here, but I've recently started referring to Darrell Evans as

"The D.A." because of his abbreviation to distinguish him from Dwight.

My brother and I used to call Matt Nokes (No K's), although I feel Fatty Matty is more appropriate.

I've recently been calling Ruppert Jones "The Natural" because it seems that every homer he hits lands in the lights.

[JoeDirt]

Dave "Rags to Riches" Righetti

This is too "Chris Berman" for my taste.

We call Righetti "The righty (Rghti) who's a lefty"
