So pretty bored here at work and I was thinking that since "the Big Hurt" has left us I refer to him as "T-Bone" I have no idea why but its just something my head made up.

 

If you could change any former or present White Sox player nickname what would it be?

(here is your chance to take it out of Hawk's hands)

 

 

 

Edit: Wow, I used the wrong spelling of the word bored...

I would like to call Ron Karkovice (sp?) McGriddles. I have no idea why, it just reminds me of him.

Every relief pitcher who disappoints is forever known as Jizzcan to me.

Paulie "Chuggs" Konerko (for his baserunning & his beer when we clinched in 2000)

Orlando "The b****" Cabrera

Walnuts is Konerko's.

Jimmy Slowbat is Thome's.

Juanacona is Uribe's.

Octavio "Mighty Duck" Dotel.

 

Have you seen this guy walk, quack quack quack....

 

EMILIOOOOOOO

"O-for-Juan" Uribe.

Don't ask, Do-tel

GrindErstad for Erstad obviously.

 

The Swagger and Passion, Nick Swisher. Cubs fan: What's Swish batting? My answer: Swagger and Passion, baby

 

I used to always refer to Durham as "Ray Ray" and Jim Parque as "Butter" but many other people did too

sayitaintso has the best worst copy and paste job on his avatar evar

Buehrle is "The Beaver" or "Beave" Look at him...plus he seems to have the Cleaver "Aw shucks" mentality.

 

Swing Away Uribe (more last year than this one)

 

Jim Thome- "Kalu Kalay" Just sounds like something he'd say after he hits a dinger.

 

Cabrera-"leprosy" due to his previous bad attitude and becasue of his effing face...what's up with that? why does his face look like that? He has leprosy.

 

Adam Rusell "yarp" reminds me of the guy that says Yarp in Hot Fuzz.

Now, bear in mind that these are stupid and I only say them at home cuz my wife knows I'm dumb already:

 

Thome = Neat (his favorite descriptive term for things he likes)

 

Uribe = Pot Smoker (he has that stoner look on his face)

 

Quentin = QUIH-IH (like "OH NO YOU DIH-IH!")

 

Dye = Main (shortened his name and also my "main man")

 

 

 

 

Anarexei Ramirez

Every relief pitcher who disappoints is forever known as Jizzcan to me.

It's terrible but, the guys in my office call Ramirez the "Ethiopian Missile"

 

In '05 my wife came up with "Andale Andale Uribe Uribe" in homage to Speedy Gonzalez.

'Thriller' was the funniest nickname ever. Remember him?

GIDPK for Konerko
