I hate "Tex"

PrintI really, really, hate "Tex." Yes, that is what I have been calling the new guy, but I really can't stand the name. Texas? Cowboy? "Hey Tex, how 'bout shooin' some hosses then go and brand some heffers."
Ok, I could call him.... hold on let me check the spelling.... "Teixeira". Still not sure I got that right. Hey, did you ever here of i before e execpt after c? And the pronunciation: Texera? Tecshara? Teshara? Ok, I could probably learn to spell ....hold on...."Teixeira", but knowing he could be gone in 3 months, do I bother?
One HHer called him "Marky Mark". Mark would be okay if he were family, but I hardly know him. I really can't see calling him "Mark" until I get to know him better (maybe next year).
So what does that leave? I guess a nickname:
Mr. T? Kind of corny, but he was tough (young guys may not remember Mr T).
Or how about just "X." After all, he is the only Angel (I think, current roster) player with an X in his name. And it does stand out. Yes, I think X would be good (Xman?).
I really, really, hate "Tex."

Hilarious, I missed it.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

Yeah, U-Haul works for me too.
Until he signs long-term, and then we’ll have to come up with something else.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
As long as he's a rental, he's U-Haul to me.
If he signs with the Angels after the end of the season, then he can have a better name. U-Haul is brilliant. highlandhalo deserves the credit.
There was at least one person in the game topic who objected to it on the grounds that it seems negative.
SoCalWine I believe.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Not defending my own work here ...
But my own metaphor was that a U-Haul is big, solid and helps get you from one place to someplace you want to be (ie, World Series). The rental bit is only one part of the metaphor.

Yeah, I didn't think it was that bad.
I just figured I’d speak up for him.
~Till the Halo burns out...
And have you ever tried to fill out a contract for a U-Haul?
Damn those forms are complicated! :)

At any rate, by the time we get to know him properly ...
Torii Hunter will probably already have come up with something much better

I like X too
My son’s middle initial is X … You’ll never guess what it stands for, so don’t even try! ... :)
Don't call me Desmond
I feel the need to try and guess
If you are saying that we will never guess, i will say that rules out Xavier
I will guess one of the following
Xander
Xanadu
X-Box
Pain heals, Chicks dig scars, Glory lasts Forever!
I said you guys would NEVER guess it :)
Middle initial is X. With the middle initial I figured I’d help him you know, score a few points with the laydays down the road:
Future conversation in bar:
My son: So what’s your middle initial, doll?
Hot chick: A …
My son: Hmmm, lemme guess … Amy?
Hot chick: You got it! You’re so smart, and good looking too !! ... You gotta tell me your middle name now. What’s the initial?
My son: X.
Hot chick: What’s that for?
My son: It’s Triple-X to you, baby (with leery grin)
He’s only four now, but he can never say later on that his old man didn’t try to help get him some. :)

A girl at work...
...just gave her new son the middle name ‘Danger’
She’s been watching too much Austin Powers
I see red people
That's a pretty bad-ass middle name
Even if it is a bit weird. It’s got ASBO written all over it.
I just hope the kid’s name isn’t Rodney Fields … there goes the respect factor right out the window.

by highlandhalo on Jul 31, 2008 7:15 AM PDT up reply actions
His last name is Simm
...she tells us she had talk her drunk husband down from insisting his middle name should be ‘three’
I see red people
Definite ASBO material
Does the kid have a tattoo yet? I assume he’s already got a shellsuit and already knows how to say “innit”

He's a Kiwi...
...he’ll probably end up avoiding that particular fate.
Having said that he’ll almost certainly have an intimate experience with a sheep somewhere in his future.
I see red people
Danger! Sheep X-ing

Dialogue
Sidekick: You took that base man.
U-Haul: No, I stole it.
Sidekick: Looks like Pettitte is dead.
U-Haul: He’s dead. (puts on shades) We’re going to Brazil.

Lest we not forget
Eckstein was the “X-Factor”
It is way overdue Arte. #5 needs to be retired by the Angels.

Tempshera?
Calling someone “Temp” just evokes images of the first two seasons of The Office, and we can’t call him Ryan Howard because that would be just confusing.
Of course I'm right... I have a UC education.
Hopefully temp to hire

The first baseman guy
I can’t slow down and type his name correctly every time, so I have been using Big Tex. X is good too.
But what I am really waiting for is when Hula Dula drops his official nickname on him.
How about Who?
I can’t type his bloody name either cuz I can’t get used to damn e before i thing. And I’m pretty speedy on the old keyboard.
Who’s on first?
Yeah, that’s the guy.

Tex and X sound the same
U-haul or Temp sound better
What in the wide wide world of sports is a goin on here?
ZZ Top
I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I aint askin for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
Im just lookin for some Teix.
I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, texas, hollywood.
I aint askin for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
Im just lookin for some Teix.
Take me back way back home,
Not by myself, not alone.
I aint askin for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
Im just lookin for some Teix.
With all the hype, he should be called Bill Brasky
“Mark Teixeira once used a live rattlesnake as a condom!”
DiSarcina is my co-pilot
He's such a bad-ass...
half the women in SoCal want to sleep with him,
the other half want to sleep with him again.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
Tush
Dumb: Check out the buns on that.
Dumber: Yeah, he must work out.
I swear, if one more person tells me to "work smarter, not harder"...
I think you think "Tush" rules, and your jealous
because it’s better than “U-haul.” You wish you thought of it, admit it. J/K. I guess I’m just optimimistic that he’ll be more than a rental.

Tush is not gender specific
but you got the butt part right. He’s got a sweet sweet ass, and he doesn’t hide it with baggies like Pajammy Ramirez of the Doyers. Don’t pretend you haven’t noticed.

Instead of renting a U-Haul, we are renting PODS.
Portable On-Demand Switch-hitter.
Francisco Rodriguez: 190 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.
When i say the name Teixiera it sounds like........
THE SHERIFF…......so thats what im calling him

Kevin Malone called he wants his nickname back
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
Kobe tell me how my ass tastes
Teix could save us all a lot of trouble here
by beating Torii just one time in dominoes. Then he’d be Hula Dula the Domino Rula and we could get on with it…
I bleed Angel red
