It’s time to list this year’s team and my idiotic nicknames that I may use for each of them this season. I didn’t come up with all of them myself, obviously, and welcome you to add any that I may have missed. Some are inside jokes that only two people will probably get. But I’m silly like that.
Enjoy.

Scrubs quote! F*ck yeah! Das Wunderbush is by far my favorite.
What, no Miquel post?
Or do Drunkin, rageaholic 300 pound MVP Tiger First Baseman who blow up BBQ restaurants and threaten Game Wardens with imaginary guns not inspire you? Na, I'll make fun of him when he does something unusual and doesen't show up to camp in "the shape of his life" to quote Jimmy. He and Dombroski spent the winter beating off to Cabrera's rookie card. If we could trade the 3 of them for a couple of slices of Ted Williams frozen man sack I'd make the deal.
Tinkerbell is my personal favorite. It just suits him so well.
Ok here is what I thought of.
Austin Jackson, Special K
Carlos Guillen, Don Juan disabled
Brandon Inge, The little ingine who couldn't (hit)
Jhonny Peralta, My mom was drunk and couldn't spell Johnny
No love for Will "Mad" Ryhmes?
I know it is crass, but I have always liked Clete-toris for Clete Thomas and I look for a little Clete-toral stimualtion when he comes to the plate.
To Anon poster who talked about Cabrera, you only want Ted Williams man sack so you can gave one, since you obviously lack one.
Go f-ck yourself.
My favorite was "Eckstein Jr." for Rhymes.. he really is David Eckstein-lite.
You forgot one: Don Kelly: "Donk B-Donk", or just plain "Donk"
Funny names, most of 'em but the only worthless Tiger was you!
Canadian Crippler for Benoit?
Well, if he puts someone in the Crippler Crossface during a brawl, I'm cool with it.
How about Brandon 3 Inger (thats what his wife said!)
Brennan 'Boom' Boesch
Phil Coke Dealer
Casper Wells and Fargo or Wells Bells
Danny Worthers Orginal
Or a throwback from a few years ago....
Pack up your Grilli and Monroe your ass out of town!
