OKAY folks, we have a guy named Wood, Dick Wood in fact, on our team. We have a guy named Bulger. If you make posts that sound like Beavis and Butthead, you're not long for this site. And if you whine like a little bitch when someone tells you to knock it off, you're pretty much gone for actually being that little whiny beyotch.
Please keep it funny and fun but keep it with an i.q. way above a twelve-year-old wank-off, please.
NEXT: Will someone who is managing a team in HALOSPHERE FANTASY LEAGUE please write up what a great season "The Mighty Reverends" and other Angel bloggers are having.
NEXT: There are two new blogs in the Halosphere, IN PLAY, NO OUTS which also covers other sports but is hardcore Angels brought to you by Marcus who posts here almost every day.
And Jim Gardner has an excellent Angels blog THE HALO IS LIT that has some in-depth numbers crunching along with good fan analysis and interviews with, well, ME (Part ONE and PART TWO) as well as with Tim Dierkes from MLB TradeRumors .com. The best feature of the site is that when you scroll over the "Halo" in the bog's masthead, it clicks off and then when you scroll away you literally "light up the halo!"
NEXT: The Salt Lake Bees have been eliminated from the playoffs, but our Low-A Cedar Rapids Kernels are still battling and our AA Arkansas Travelers are still in the hunt for a championship. How do I know this? I check Rob McMillin's 6-4-2 Blog Minor League Section every day and so should you!
ALRIGHT: The magic number is three and as Multiplication Rock taught me...

He calls himself Brandon, the team calls him Brandon
AND SO SHALL WE.

I agree, and have never referred to him as anything but Brandon Wood.
I was making the odd coincidental connection between the first line of your story and the last line of your story/ video.

"The Spoon" is a perfect nickname for Brandon Wood
As in the nursery rhyme, Hey Diddle Diddle. “And the dish ran away with the spoon,” dish symbolizing home plate and The Spoon being Brandon Wood. When he hits a homerun, he is essentially running away with the “dish.” Okay, I know it’s a stretch, but somebody did choose a silly nickname for a player on our team off some restaurant menu.

He should be called SPLINTER

It is ALL MY FAULT
I am the one who gave Brandon Wood the nickname of Dick. For that I apologise sincerely to all fellow HHers and I consider myself severely reprimanded.
His given name is Richard Brandon Wood, but when he’s hitting 44 HRs for us a few years down the road may I suggest a new nickname:
Brando. All the chicks dig him. And then he becomes a fat power pig.
Don't call me Desmond

The team Calls him Garret Anderson
We call him Lazy G. Double standard being set for the rookie?
Why is it that others have nicknames that are not flattering? There is a whole list going on titled “Halos Heaven Glossary” that has many players listed with not such positive nicknames. When someone uses the reference Dick Wood its still better then being called Lazy GA or HGH, Judy, Boy King, Gazoo, Frosty Tips, broken Clock, Magellan, Side Salad, Nipples, or UninSPEIERed. The list of names is much longer on the HH Glossary, but none of these names are ones used in a very complimentary way.
I don’t think many of the players would be that happy by these names. So again I ask why it is that there is this strong force to make sure that Richard Brandon Wood is called Brandon Wood. Why is he given the free pass? Maybe he should be called the Archangel Uriel
I know its better then having to go through life with a name like Pete LaCock, Rusty Kuntz, Johnny Dickshot, Jack Glasscock, Mike Hunt, Cannonball Titcomb

well here is why
because this site sounds like an intelligent place to talk about baseball from a lot of different perspectives and then suddenly it sounds like three dudes standing around jerking off onto each other.
by Rev Halofan on Sep 9, 2008 11:32 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That is a solid argument for no Dick Wodd comments
You must have scored an A in speech and debate
Maybe as I said in another post he should be called
B Wood “Lets go B Wood”

It was ME
who coined the Dick Wood phrase. I am 44 years old. If that says too much about my sense of humour (ie being Beavis to Butthead) then I hold my hands high in surrender. It was a joke I made under the influence of alcohol in the North of Scotland. It was not meant to infuriate anyone, nor made to generate anything except for a laugh or two. I am sorry, sincerely, for doing so.
Ok, the gentleman who plays shortstop for the Angels currently is called Mr Richard Brandon Wood. I will call him Brandon from now on. Mark Teixeira is no longer U-Haul anymore, and I am no longer using any nicknames except for Blue Smoke, which was invented for Mr Garret Anderson by Mr Torii Hunter.
Peace?

First time funny, 2nd time repressed homoerotic.

Homoerotic?
Although I am married with a young son I do confess to watching Brandon Wood do well. In fact, the 6-4-3 DP he started the other day, when S-Rod barehanded it, well …. it kind of gave me Wood.
Guilty as charged.
Don't call me Desmond

No offended
I don’t think you were letting any such repressed homoerotic tendency flow out. The beauty of this blog or any other blog is the ability to express your thoughts and not have to be politically correct at all times.
Your post are good and your a fan. Share your feeling and thoughts. There is those out there that have lived with the name Dick Wood and other odd names. You made a play on the name and it is a fact that name Dick is a nickname for Richard. Not that I would or have named my kid Richard but it is what it is. I did not see it as a way to use some bodily function

for the record, "The Bulge"
wasn’t meant as any kind of innuendo when i said it.
i realize that’s probably how it came off, but that wasn’t my intent.
is it fitting? considering the way he pitched on Saturday, I’d say sure, if you’re following the innuendo side of that nickname.
i just thought it was an easy play on his name.
