Just would like to point out that Tommy Hunter did refer to Nick as Kakes today on I.T. In fact, he said it at least twice. So maybe they do call him kakes.

Absolutely. But maybe not Jim Palmer.

Yeah, can't stand was probably too strong. But don't you figure that Palmer has that "I'm an all-time great and I know it" air about him most of the time, and that probably annoys the players? Anyway, I doubt they'd care about stealing his nickname is mostly my point.

Also, I doubt any of the players call Markakis "Kakes" - I think that's mostly for female fans and children - and none of the current players have any idea what Palmer's nickname might have been.

At around the 9 minute mark..

Enjoy.

I love that he called Buck 'The Show'. Thats a nickname I could get behind.

I used "Show" for a while last year. Might have to restart that.

Oh and BTW besides "Fellaherty" my other favorite new nickname is "Mintyfresh" (pretty obvious who that is). I don't have one for Nelson yet, tho once his bat heats up I'll be referring to his HRs as "Cruz Missiles".

A Chad is typically depicted as originating in Chicago's affluent North Shore suburbs (Highland Park, Lincolnshire, Deerfield, Northbrook, Glencoe, Winnetka, Glenview, Wilmette, or Lake Forest), receiving a BMW for his 16th birthday, obtaining a law or business degree from a Big Ten University, belonging to a fraternity, moving to Lincoln Park, marrying a Trixie, and then moving back to the North Suburbs.[4]

As such, "Chads" are not unique to Chicago but representative of a stereotyped subculture in contemporary America.

Yep. I'm liking it.
