The Tettleton = The Ty Cobb

[The Express]

If you've played Legends of the Daimond you know what I'm talking about.  And yes, they spelled Diamond wrong on the cartridge.

[Attezz]

No.

Cobb did bring his bat near horizontal at the very beginning of his swing, but the closest thing to his stance is Reed Johnson (albeit as a righty)

[bonny]

Reed Johnson throwing home with 3 outs=classic

[The Express]

have you played Legends of the Daimond?

[Attezz]

Just because a game inaccurately depicts a batting stance, doesn't make it so.

[The Express]

who died and made you the nickname police? my advice to you: go away.

other nicknames that are going to make you go 

Jim Rice = Jerry
Don Baylor = Elgin
Doug DeCinces = Cinco de Mayo
Reggie Jackson = Bo
Rob Wilfong = Wolfgang Puck
Ruppert Jones = Ruprect (From Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)
Lou Whitaker = Andy
Dave Bergman = Luke
Greg Gagne = Gone, Yay!
Roy Smalley = Smalls (From The Sandlot)
Gene Larkin = Barry
Ray Knight = Knight Rider
Rafael Santana = Carlos
Dwight Gooden = Good 'n Plenty
Robbie Thompson = Timmy Thompson
Willie McGee = Buford
Steve Lake = Carnell

So there, roll over in your grave and IP ban me.

[broiler]

man, attez is so in the new guys dome

[Attezz]

Clearly Mr. RBI.

[BeefMaster]

Robbie Thompson = Timmy Thompson

I would've gone with Tommy Thompson, after the old Secretary of Health and Human Services.

There hasn't been a good list of RBI nicknames in awhile; that was quality.

[TbT]

i second the cinco de mayo.  Called that guy by that for years.  Didnt know this thread was originally about nicknames though.

[bonny]

I fucking hate Ray Knight.

keith hernandez seems to hit far more bombs for me than anyone else on the mets.

i was thinking of the dude mentioned in the country song, "please don't take the girl" or whatever when the verse says take jimmy johnson take timmy thompson or whatever.

and of course this thread was about nicknames. you guys nicknamed the batting stance "the tettleton" -- i nicknamed it "the cobb" ... big deal

[JoeDirt]

I  hate fucking Ray Knight.

[JoeDirt]

man, attez is so in the new guys dome

I was thinking just the opposite.

[TbT]

ive got something else in mind that i refer to as "the cobb".

[The Express]

man, attez is so in the new guys dome

attez is not even in my league-- and if he even thought about coming into my astro dome he wouldn't know what hit him.

[Attezz]

You own an astro dome?

that pic should read "COTUT Participation killer".

KEITH FKN HERNANDEZ by the way is a cotut participation killer for Joe Dirt. 

hey express, you got anything else to discuss other than the stro's?
