Buck Showalter just lost all credibility....

[MiggysTHEMAN]

He just called Jorge Posada "George"

[BaltimoreTerp]

So...um...you don't know Spanish?

[MiggysTHEMAN]

Yes, I know spanish. You wouldn't call a player named Jose "Joseph" or call a player named Juan "John"......same goes for Jorge

[Migrant Redbird]

Jorge came up while Buck was the Yankees manager. Maybe his clubhouse nickname then was George?

[byrdz]

Don't know the big deal, can't be the first time he's been called George.

[bird watcher]

Not Hor-Hay. Never among teammates. Torre called him Georgie all the time. Media does too.Its always Jorge or George in the clubhouse. Just so you know.

Girardi was on the radio this morning and also called him George or Georgey.

I believe when Jose Mesa pitched for the Orioles, he was known as "Joe Table" inside the clubhouse.

Pedro Martinez is known as "Pete" or "Petey" among teammates.

(P.S. - Not to pick on you, but Miggi's the man. If you look at his custom batting gloves, that's his preferred spelling. Comprende? )

I have an uncle named Jorge and he uses the hard "j" sound as well.

Sterling's call is "Georgie juiced one!" IIRC.

Sounds like its crow-eating time to me!

[gallden]

Probably the best. thread. ever.

Actually, I gained a lot of respect for Showalter the other day when, during Baseball Tonight, they showed a Red Sox clip, to which someone said, "That oughta make RSN happy." To which Buck replied, "Was there a Red Sox Nation before 2004?" Classic

More likely "go run and hide" time.
