August 1, 201015 yr Lillibomb is my MVP since the winning streak started. Too bad they will be sending him to AAA for Teahen.
August 1, 201015 yr Lilli has to stay because if one of Beckham/Ramirez couldn't go, Vizquel has no back up. And no I don't think Mark Teahen will ever play 2B/SS for the Sox.
August 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) Now that is nickname! Word. Take notes mortals.
August 1, 201015 yr What are you bringing to this team again Mark Kotsay? FEAR THE LILLIPAD Edited August 1, 201015 yr by Cali
August 1, 201015 yr I've loved his approach all year. Look fastball, hit it hard. He's got a completely different mentality than he did last year. He's looking for line drive singles and doubles, not home runs. Good for him.
August 1, 201015 yr Haha the Stealth Elf, love it. He's definitely improved his approach at the plate a thousand fold this season, it's actually enjoyable to watch him hit now. I just wish we'd keep him and DFA Kotsay when the time comes for that decision. Edited August 1, 201015 yr by whitesoxfan101

August 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Or Hot Fire. It's only a nickname if more than one person uses it.
August 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Admit it, self-appointed nickname guy, the Stealth Elf is exponentially better than The Bridge... Why should I care? I don't freak out about what other people want to call players, so why does everyone else have to? Call him Lent Brillibrige for all I care, and it won't get under my skin.

August 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Jeesh, take a joke buddy....it obviously does get under your skin... It gets under my skin that every time I call a player a name anything other than their birth name 3-4 people comment "Such a dumb name" "stop calling him that" "give it up". Yeah, THAT gets under my skin because it's annoying. Don't like any of the nicknames i say? Great, sounds like it's pretty easy thing to ignore. I ignore every time I see the "Klutchsay" nickname. I think it's pretty dumb, but you know what, if it makes that person happy to say it, then that's fine, I don't need to start a fight.

But then you came in this thread with your THE BRIDGE schtick, so you have to expect to take some s*** for that.

How? It was a thread about Lillbridge kicking ass today, and that's what I call him. I would have called him the same thing during the game today after his 3-run triple had I been at my computer at the time. If using his nickname is "my schtick" then fine, I'll be using "my schtick" all year with Hot Fire, The Bridge, Q-uperman, G-Force, and any other nicknames I may start using this year.

Come on man, I'm not trying to pick on you...but when you call famous athletes nicknames that only you refer to them by, people are going to give you s***...it's just the way life works...

August 2, 201015 yr Seriously, he and Viciedo have shown that they deserve to stay over Kotsay. Andruw Jones too, for his defense.
August 2, 201015 yr I think you guys ride Coolman a little bit too hard. So he likes Hot Fire , there's no harm in that. I still like calling Tank Hollywood in the best Chris Berman tradition of nicknames. But I know it won't stick because Tank fits him much better . Lillibridge's swing on the triple reminded me a lot of Konerko's swing when he goes to right . It was short and sweet . Edited August 2, 201015 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
