September 29, 200421 yr hey all. just wanted to say hi as a new member to the board. i wish i would have found this site earlier than just yesterday, though. would have been fun to talk throughout the season anyways, i have a question that i m sure someone out there has the answer too.... what was the nickname that hawk and wimpy (i miss wimpy ) gave to joey cora back in the 90's? since the day the sox got him to coach third, its been killing me cuz i cant remember it. someone help o, and :fthecubs -steve-
September 29, 200421 yr Me and my dad always called him Ratboy when I was younger because his helmet was dirty and he looked kinda like a rat to me. Any help?
September 29, 200421 yr Author it wasnt lil joey or the jockey (which is a nice one) it was something funny/stupid, along that line. it really frustrates me.

September 29, 200421 yr Chris Berman used to call hime Joey "Alba" Cora - you know, like the tuna... Maybe that's the one? Not bad, but not one of Berman's best. I always liked Frank Tanana Daiquiri and Al 'Fruito' Levine though...
September 29, 200421 yr Author it was definelty a nickname that was given by hawk and wimpy, not played out Berman. it was a nickname that they would say with his last name, and never used Joey anymore, like ____ Cora. it was kind of like Pudge Rodrigez or catfish hunter or Hot-Carl Everett so it wasnt like El Caballo or Godzilla or The Rocket(one word nicknames...last name not needed) i know none of this probably woulnt help, but maybe it might trigger in someone's mind.....
September 30, 200421 yr Sorry smalls, I should remember this but I'm drawing a blank. Welcome to Soxtalk, though.
September 30, 200421 yr Damn I'm gonna look up a year book that i got for that. Not it's bothering me. I always tought it was Lil Joey and the Jockey.
September 30, 200421 yr Damn I'm gonna look up a year book that i got for that. Not it's bothering me. I always tought it was Lil Joey and the Jockey. I have looked for a while and i have come up with nothing. I am so confused that it is not even funny because i also remember something along those lines of lil joey or lil jockey.
September 30, 200421 yr Me too. Cause i remember the commercials. Cora came out dressed like a Jockey. The same ones the Ron Karkovice was Officer Karkovice, the ones of the good guys ware black
September 30, 200421 yr Does anyone else find it funny when Joey's picture comes on the Diamondvision during the Sox intro video?
September 30, 200421 yr I don't remember the Cora nickname either. I remember Lance Johnsons was One Dog and others like that, but I can't think of Cora's.
September 30, 200421 yr it was kind of like Pudge Rodrigez or catfish hunter or Hot-Carl Everett Hot-Carl Everett? Someone calls him that?
September 30, 200421 yr Author Hot-Carl Everett? Someone calls him that? ha.. i was waiting for somenoe to reply to that... i started calling him that last year cuz its just funny. my brother even started the most annyoing chant at the games this year, just screaming out "hot carl hot carl hot carl hot carl" until we couldnt say it anymore. we were getting the funniest looks from the crowd around us. but we enjoyed it, and it helps us to have a better time at the game. anyways, thanks for the help with the nickname for cora. i still think it was somethign other than the jockey (and so does my brother), but it will have to suffice until i figure out if there was another one. Go sox
