Someone Else Came Up With This One:
Outlaw Jose Wales
Read it on a game thread – i like the mystique of this name as this kid appeared out of nowhere as if ona dessert plain and he is gunning for the opposition big time.
That one is pretty tough...but it's a lot to live up to. He may just end up like Balthazar Getty from Young Guns 2 though.
How about Sancho, because he’s gunning for another man’s lady(the lady being Frankie’s closing position).
Whatever dude.

Sancho
Sounds good, especially if he’s good with the hynas.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Hondo
Hondo Arredondo. AKA John Wayne Arredondo. Oh, shoot, you guys problably don’t know the Duke. Not the greatest looking guy, but I would hate to face him in a gun fight (gangstas beware).
Angels Defense. Angels Pitching. Get past that.

Arre.......In Spanish means GO!!!!
As in …...... ARRE mi Burrito ya no quiere caminar da un paso pa delante y otros pasos para atras….
Which in english means…....GO my lil Donkey it just doesnt want to walk, it takes one step forward and a couple backwards.
Anyways I think it should be Arre-Arre-Dondo-Arre
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arre can also be used as GIDDY UP!!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's gotta be Side Salad K-man
Side Salad has to be one of the coolest nicknames ever given to a ballplayer by the fans.
Don't call me Desmond

how about
Hunter – Rich,
and we call mathis – soth jr. because hes amzing good behind the plate (like soth) and i dont remember soth bein to amazing of a hitter
the future looks bright
Hunter = Spider Man
Unless we dont want to copy the Twins…......We can call him Rally Monkey Man
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darren Oliver needs a nickname
I was very rude about him last year (1st half), but since then he’s been the nuts. He deserves one.
Any volunteers?
I see red people
Quinlan - Mighty Q
Shields – Gas Can (This one is at least two years old)
GMJ=Juicer
Willits=Willis (or snowflake)
Weaver=Sunshine

Torii should have some sort of Night of the Hunter reference....maybe he should just tattoo Love/Hate on his knuckles
Whatever dude.
I keep trying to work in the lyric from How Many More Times
It just doesn’t quite work. But I always loved that lyric.
E-bar/Eybar is a bit harsh
considering the level of D that he was playing (before the Turf-gremlins got him).
Unfortunately, I don’t have a good replacement. Suggestions?
K-brothers rule! (Kendrick & Kotch)
I agree. I call him Admiral, it's a good one.
Whatever dude.
by Mayheminthehood on Jun 3, 2008 5:02 PM PDT up reply actions
Sounds great
Just curious – does it refer to Rear Admiral Joseph F. Aybar, the Inspector General of Starfleet? (In case you are wondering, no, I am not a complete Star Trek freak: I just Googled it.)
K-brothers rule! (Kendrick & Kotch)
Star WARS reference
no trek.
And when erick is involved in a prominent play, you will know it by those “It’s a trap!” posts that follow.
I think I heard Shields refer to Izturis as Mighty Mouse
That stuck with me. A friend and I have gotten to referring to Weaver as Simi. Purely out of affection. Love that hair. I refer to Santana as Bubblegum, but that’s just me, and in conversation with friends that don’t even care about baseball.
Is it felt that calling Torii Spiderman is proprietary of the Twins? Or just outdated?
Halos Forever.
someone's typo
i exploited the new riff on “Sosh” (attempts at abbreviating his name remind me of high school cliques calling popular kids “Sosh”) as SOTH quickly whne i saw it here as a typo.
The thing I like about "Soth"
is not only the “Sosh” reference, but also the similarity to Sloth. Mike Scioscia has three fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot. He’s very slow, unless he’s in trees.
To summarise, like a Sloth. The Soth. Perfect.
Don't call me Desmond

~Till the Halo burns out...
My friends and started calling Vlad
“Mr. Tumnus,” because of his scraggly beard, awkward run/gallop, and because he holds his bat like an umbrella.
Halos Fan Since 5th Grade
i think hunter should be called bently
in honor of his wrecked car
I AM THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. BOW TO MY WILL AND MY HAMMER!
Speier = Britney?
Maybe a bit of a stretch and perhaps a little harsh, but it could be applicable when he has one of his trainwreck performances…

Hondo
Arredondo. I liked it so much I had to post it twice.
Angels Defense. Angels Pitching. Get past that.
Nick NAMES
Sheilds = Horse…....and he was good friends with the Donkey
GMJ = HGH
Willits = Lil Reggie
Quinlan – Q
Weaver = Lil Weazle & Dream Weaver (This year he has been more like a day dream)
Speier = Inspeier (Just Inspeier…...but he has not been to good)
Mathis = Law Dog (According to Inspeier)
Aybar = Lord Aybar & Mini Vlad & Son of Vlad
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im gonna start calling kotchman "wheels"
as per last night’s game thread.
Northeastern University Huskies: Mediocre hockey, guaranteed.
I'm gonna have to go back through 9 million posts to find the original
But I think this has something to do with me criticising (when DRUNK) Kotch’s lack of speed.
WHEELS. I love it.
Don't call me Desmond
I thought we agreed a while back...
to refer to Jeff Mathis as “Daggum”, after he was quoted using it in some article, I believe in reference to somebody’s particularly nasty pitch, but I can’t remember for sure.
Also, Garret is “Sit & Sleep”.
My friends and I also refer to Willits as “Wedgie Rillits” ever since a drunk friend slurred those very words during a crucial rally last year.
We also have somehow manged to never use Kendrick’s last name, and instead refer to him only as “Howard”. I just find it amusing to say things like, “Do you think Howard will ever play an injury-free season?”
White trashin' the 909
Ha.
Wedgie Rillits.
My girlfriends uncle accidentally said “Gladimir Valerro” once.

Nicknames
Mathis = Machine Gun
Hunter = Big Game
Wood = Balsa
Balsa ain't no good
It’s negative.
Dick Wood is much more positive. Kinda like Dirk Diggler.
Don't call me Desmond
Pffh,
the only crimson chin there will ever be is the Spiezio.

How about we call them by their real names?
"At some point, a veteran player will more often than not find his stroke. You just have to show them a little bit of patience."
what fun is that?
everybody does that.
Let Wood play!!!

Vlad
is Vladdy Daddy, or the Implaler. Rex Hudler’s nickname does not cut the cheese. I personally do not like Bad Vlad.
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
i like Vlad the Impaler the best

Really? You coined that one?
That has been around since his rookie year

Aware of the Dracula connection
In 1459, he had 30,000 of the German settlers (Saxons) and officials of the Transylvanian city of Kronstadt who were transgressing his authority impaled.6[8]

why "shotgun"
a shotgun is not accurate at all.
jeff mathis is.
he’s more of a “sniper” to me.

What a great thread
Lackey: Thunder, Big Thunder, Thunder Mountain et al
Garland: Judy is fine, but personally I prefer Dorothy
Saunders: Hokie Joe and the Colonel seem to have caught on just fine
Kotchman: Krotchrocket or Wheels. I quite like Wheels.
Figgins: He’ll always be Desmond to me, and so says his birth certificate
Napoli: Side Salad. Don’t remember who came up with that one but it’s one of the greatest nicks in HH history.
Wood: Dick. (It’s his real name)
Rivera: I like Johnny Rivers, but can live with Juancho
GA: Escalade, Cadillac, Lazy, GA, love him who cares?
Vlad: El Slumpero? When he snaps out of it, he’s El Supremo.
Oliver: Ollie? I know it’s lame, but who needs a great nickname for a guy who throws 3 innings a week?
Izturis: Best nickname guy we’ve had on the team in a long time, although I’ve got to weigh in for The Boy King over Pharoah et al.
Aybar: The Admiral. No doubt.
Arredondo: He needs a bad-ass new nickname. Sancho the Outlaw? Hondo?
Mathis: Johnny or Chances Are.
Scioscia: The Soth. Some things just happen in funny ways.
Don't call me Desmond
arredondo is harrod?
as in the soft j like in jose (h) combined with arred (arrod) to Harrod. althought its kinda lame, we could call him king harrod
