OK. One of our newest team members Jay, has seen fit to issue some suggestions for nicknames. Here are some excerpts from the e-mails that cover the names and some responses from JW and Byron.
Joe : Depending on the night (Tuesday or Friday), Joe could go with the following
-Tuesdays – JW (pronounced “jay-dub”)
-Fridays : Slurry Joe – This is derived from the Happy Hour Extravaganza that Joe participates in before the Friday night games.
-JW is pretty solid despite all of my efforts to get momentum for a Forest Gump type nickname seeing as how Joe does share some resemblance and he has those knee braces.
Rik : “Crotch” – I don’t think I’ve seen anyone take a ball to the nether-regions (or close to) more times than Rik.
-Crotch and balls-out both seem to be walking the fine line of gaydom especially since balls-out will inevitably be shortened to balls.
Albert : “Digs” – This is derived from the numerous times that Albert has to plow the dirt in front of 1st base in order to dig the ball out that many of us (not naming any names…Slurry Joe) throw his way.
-I kinda like digs more than A-train since it hints at Al’s ability to save our asses and highlights the fact that our infield can’t keep the ball out of the dirt.
Byron : “Nine” – For the number of hot wings Bryon will forever get at Hooters.
Chris H. : There are 2 possibilities here…one gay, one that reaches a little too much.
-“Heiny” – Last name credibility, but could be mistaken for gaydom on the softball field.
-“Morris” – Reminding Chris that his Alma Mater is like the fat girl at the prom with regards to the NCAA Tourney. Just happy to be there.
Pete : “Deuce”…..this either has something to do with some bathroom innuendo or hold on to your seat as this will blow your mind…..his jersey number is 2.
-separate tag name for Tournaments though, such as “Schleprock” or the “Human Injury Magnet”.
Mike : it’s very complicated to explain but I’ll give it a shot…….he wears # 8 on his jersey…..open your mind and see if you can figure it out…..if not let me know.
-Another obvious one for Mike is “grandpa” or “gramps” or “papa”…..you get the trend here!
TJ : “T-ball”……now I’m not sure if this has to do with some human anatomy oddity, the competitive game of T-ball baseball, or a derivative of his name. To be determined.
Scott : "Buckshot" ……it’s a jersey number thing again, sorry to blow your mind there again
Jay : "Round Mound of Sound" since he always seems to be voicing his opinion about something but, this nickname is a little to long so we are going to have
to find something better and JJ is just too obvious.
Chris W. : I could be talked into scooter or scoot for Chris W since he has that cute little scooter.
ZB : I’m waiting for ZB to make a sprawling goalie catch in the outfield so I can start calling him stretch
