I have more faith that we win on Friday, but I'll definitely be rooting for a win tonight too! I'll just be more surprised if we win tonight. The season is a roller coaster, it's one of the things that is great about baseball!

Breathe easy my friend. Tonight you will feel the sweet dispassion of losing a very lose-able game with Ubaldo on the mound and being down my 5+ runs in the second inning.

You can thank Gary for this one... "Trumbo Bumbo"!

Haha. I'm sure Manny hasn't heard those before on the road

I updated the list again. I need to add Gausman to it though. I'll keep this list updated and maybe during the all-star break we can vote on it (to try to keep us occupied without baseball).

Joey Jets is cool.

I updated the list with suggestions to this point. Let me know if I missed your input.

Ah. Wikipedia to the rescue.

Why "Tippecanoe"? Just curious.

I always hoped that Matt would be on a Wheaties box (ala Cal) one day, then we could just call him "Wheaties".

That is awesome.

I figured that's who it was, but wasn't positive. I like it.

Who is Flats?

He is. He tried to bunt a few times in spring training if I recall. I would like to see him at least try it once in the regular season in the right situation.

Cool. Didn't know that either. I'll wait until his first homerun in an Orioles uniform before I call him that

I like Johnny Baseball. I don't think I've heard that before (I usually listen to the radio broadcast sync'd up with the TV).

The amount of nicknames for players on this team (and really most of mlb) is lacking if you ask me. <br><br> I thought it might be fun to see what everyone calls some of the players that don't have clear cut nicknames. Out of the 25 active players, looking through the list, I only came up with 4 players that have clear nicknames (I guess "Jonesy" counts). Did I miss any? <br><br> So what do you call the other 21 players when you are rooting for them to get a hit or screaming at them to throw a strike? <br><br>I'll try to keep the list up to date if we can find some decent nicknames. <br> <table> <tr> <td>Name</td><td>Nickname(s)</td><td></td></tr> <tr> <td>Adam Jones</td><td>Jonesy<br>Mr. Jones</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Hyun Soo Kim</td><td>???<br>Kimmy</td><td></td></tr> <tr> <td>Nolan Reimold</td><td>The Rhino<br>Yinzer<br>Reim Time</td><td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Joey Rickard</td><td>???<br>Joey Baseball<br>Joey Rekkids<br>Joey Jets<br>Joltin' Joey<br>James Dean</td><td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mark Trumbo</td><td>???<br>Trumbombs</td><td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pedro Alvarez</td><td>???<br>El Toro</td><td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Chris Davis</td><td>Crush<br>Hulk<br>The Big Fella</td><td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ryan Flaherty</td><td>Flash<br>Flats<br>Lawn King<br>Flare</td><td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>J.J.

I think you're right. He got his shot and had a few defensive miscues. Ride the Pearce train for a bit!

He's definitely an improvement, but I would rather have Davies than 2 months of Parra. Don't like this trade at all.

Great stuff Frobby! Those are some very bi-polar stats. Let's hope we continue to play like its June.

We tried to win the world series last year when we got Miller, it didn't quite work out. I'm glad Dan made the trade last year. Re-hashing this over and over and over and over again doesn't change anything.

The problem with Steve is that it wouldn't help any with the flexibility in the bullpen. I think they want someone else out there that they can option if the bullpen gets a little taxed.
