Sox player nickname thread

[luso2kx]

How about creating a thread that can be used as reference material for nicknames we give to certain Sox players. Here's my contributions:

Peaches: Matt Clement (started calling him that last year after seeing how weak he was)

Atomic Gary Coleman: Big Papi (look at his face and look at Coleman's)

Giant Gerber Baby: Papelbon (not that he acts like baby, but that his rounded face kinda reminds me of a baby's face)

The Azores, huh? Pretty cool. That's, like, islands in the middle of freakin' nowhere, ain't it, LOL? Never been outside the U.S., so... what's it like? Must be wicked expensive to live there. What do people do for work?

Welcome to Soxplanet luso2kx. I believe you are our first non-US member.Thanx. I'm kinda looking for a place to stretch my board legs a bit.

And like I said on PatriotsPlanet, there's alot of regulars from the ESPN Sox Board that are looking for a place to go to that isn't full of idiots.

Yeah, luckily Sox Planet is still small enough not to have a major idiot faction. Although, I wouldn't mind some of the "Idiots" of '04 to start posting here. :D

I've never been to the Azores Islands but I have been to mainland Spain. (I know you guys are Portuguese).

As far as nicknames go, i for one will be calling our new pitcher Andrew Dice K.

That way, every time he strikes someone out, i can shout out "Come a little bit closer and i'll butter your fuggin popcorn!!!OHHHH!!!" or "And make me a sandwich on the way out!!!! OHHHHH!!!!"

What do people do for work?Well, I'm a project manager/lead developer for a local web firm. Life here isn't that much more different than in the states. We have all the ammenities, just that life is a little slower here, which isn't particulayly a bad thing :D

Oooo, nice, I've always wanted to live on an island, you got any openings at your firm? :D

If you're looking for Sox nicknames, then let me share one of my favorite blogs:

This guy is from the SoSH board, which is a very cumbersome and no fun Sox board, but has alot of knowledgeable people at least. The above is one gem to crawl out of there.
