December 15, 200421 yr Well if we traded The Horse, call him The Pony. His game is speed, it's alliterative and just stupid enough to catch on. Back in the day they'd have called him The Polish Pony, but (1) it might offend in these sensitive times and (2) he may not be Polish. If we really cared about offending people, would the Sox actually play mr. Roboto when Shingo comes out? I mean, not cause he's Japanese - but more cause It's Styx. Maybe they should play Lady when Judy comes out to pitch. Yeah.

December 18, 200421 yr how bout just Scott "I will kill the twins" Podsednik I looked at his grass and turf stats and on turf he hits .333 with a .391 OBP and .619 SLG! f*** YEAH WE'VE GOT A BONAFIDE TWIN-KILLER (so what if it was only 5 games?)
December 18, 200421 yr Since we got rid of el caballo I think scott should be el rapido, to bad he's not spanish .
December 18, 200421 yr Apparently Mac Jurko & Harry have taken to calling him Podzilla, but it's too corny for me. If I nickname him at all, it'll probably be Pods. ...or "good ol' number (whatever number they give him)"....I still say 11 for him.
December 18, 200421 yr I'm still pushing for Scoot or Scooter. C'mon, it is a spin on his first name and he steals 70 bases. Its a match made in heaven.

December 19, 200421 yr It won't be 11. Luis Aparicio Who???? I guess I blanked on that because I'm totally against the retiring of numbers. Remember the player, not the number, IMO.
December 19, 200421 yr Hawk will think of something like PeaPods Let's just hope that as Hawkeroo pours his syrup all over Jerry Reinsdorf, Kenny Williams and Ozzie Guillen and how great the off season moves were we don't get sugar poisoning. He has a penchant for overdoing it and names like Pea Poddy, Podzilla, etc, will ruin it quickly. Another thing will be be a .250 average and a subpar OB% and minsicule RBI's, etc, which I am worried might happen. You can only hope for the best though and try and be positive.
December 19, 200421 yr Man are you sad. The guy's coming off a year when he stole 70 bases! Up 27 from the year before. All nick names for Pods have to be speed related: Flash Quicksilver Taz (manian Devil) Road Runner Streak Zipster el zippo Snatch Swipester Zippy I'm too tired to continue

EL ZIPPO??? Maybe after an 0-for-4 day....
December 20, 200421 yr Snatch? I think he just snuck that one in there cuz it's fun to say. Go ahead.....say it......come onnnnn.....you know you want to......SAY IT......
