Sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes by posting and not giving proper credit.

To be honest, I don’t like the first initial+last name nicknames like ARod… For some reason I’m fine with it with DLee, but EPatt, CPatt, ARam… I don’t care for those, they just seem lazy to me. I miss the old days with cool, imaginative nicknames like The Bull, The Penguin, Sarge, The Red Baron, Rainbow, and Zonk – with the cool nicknames I see popping up on this site, I think a lot of others miss those type of nicknames too.

I knew a few people who like Zambo over Big Z.

Carlos Marmol-Duffle Bag Boy
Carlos Zambrano- Horse
Ryan Theriot- Hustler
Derrek Lee- D Lock
Aramis Ramirez- Rams
Geovany Soto- Grand Slam
Alfonso Soriano- Sores
Kosuke Fukudome- Fuku
Sean Gallager- Gally
Ryan Dempster- Dumpster (not bad it’s sounds cool)
Ted Lilly- Lilly Pad
Jason Marquis- M Dog
Henry Blanco- Hank White
Mark DeRosa- DeRo
Kerry Wood- Kanye
Michael Weurtz- Lil Weurtz
Scott Eyre- Scotts
Bobby Howry- How
Neal Cotts- Cottsy
Ronny Cedeno- Cakes

is known to me and my friends as “Chong Hits.”

Several of us were at a game in Pittsburgh when Aramis was still with the Pirates. Between innings at PNC, they ran a montage on the jumbotron of several different players answering questions such as “what is your favorite movie?” When Aramis answered that one, he giggled and paused for a second, then said, “Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke,” and then he busted out laughing. We’ve called him “Chong Hits” ever since.

Except for Jedmonds, and Lil Todd Walker for Fontenot.

guess this isnt the place for all my nicknames for him!!

afterall he is Theodore Roosevelt Lilly III

It’s an actual conversation at the August 12 Cubs game about nicknames

Last year I dubbed Carlos Marmol as “The Marmolator” – referring to batters getting “Marmolized” or “Marmolated” by his wicked slider.

It occurred to me this year that Scottie Eyre, not only reminds me of, but becomes “Eyore” of Pooh fame when a simple “o” is added to his name.

Uncle Ted.

For everyone else, I got nothin.

Big Z
DLee
The Riot
ARam
Dome (doughmay)
Fonty
Onedec (used to call him Cedung-yo, but he is above that level now)
Demp (used to be Dumpster, but again he is playing above that level)
Howry = Bobby (he used to be Bad Howry)
Marmol = The Fireman
DeRo
Woody
Murton = Murt, Ginger Kid
Wuertz used to be Worst on a bad day
Just Soto for Soto, Geo kinda sounds snobby like calling a Barbara Babs.

I am seeing that I have many angst filled nicknames for the pitchers, especially for the bullpen. I always stew for a starting pitcher that busts his butt only to have it lost by the bullpen.
