Nicknames for Z

What are your ideas for nicknames for Zduriencik?
I'm excited about this hiring, seeing as he's somewhat of a cross between the Epstein-type statistician GM and the old-school type. I won't bother saying anymore, because Dave has it covered: http://ussmariner.com/2008/10/22/welcome-to-the-zduriencik-era/.
That being said, he needs a nickname. Something subtle, and yet, with pizazz. For anyone wondering, his name is pronounced like "Zur-EN-sick."
Put down your top three choices.

You didn't choose Zoinks, Jeff did.
And I say he doesn’t need a nickname. Not everybody needs a nickname. I’m just calling him Jack.

I actually agree with you there
I don’t really think he needs a nickname, but Zoinks is a lot easier to type than Zduriencik.

Czar Dick Junkie is obviously the way forward
by Graham on Oct 22, 2008 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Couldn't it be Czar Junkie Dick, because then you'd have the whole CJD thing too....
Of course, that makes the whole thing sound incredibly pejorative, which isn’t really my intent.

What's your position?
Or was this more of a hopeful thing as opposed to a done-deal thing?
by marc w on Oct 22, 2008 3:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If it was a done deal thing
believe me, it would be incredibly obvious.

Just "Z"
That’s what we called a guy at work whose name was Zasnmapwoeianpson or something.

Someone on USSM called him Zardoz.
Now I’m going to have a hard time deciding between that and Dr. Zoidberg

The point is that "C'est pas terrible," seems like it would mean "It's not terrible"
But it actually means, “It’s terrible.”

but being namechecked on sports-talk radio is probably an acceptable substitute.

And we can use this one every time Baker suggests
that Zoidberg should trade Jeff Clement for (insert mediocre RHP relief pitcher here)

OH MY GOD IS THAT REAL: http://tonyhomo.com/

by Taylor H on Oct 22, 2008 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes Yes Yes
So where do we go from here? Will I be back next year? Did Homo cry like a little girl in the locker room last night? These are questions that have no answers. Except for the Homo crying one. The answer to that is “OH God yes.”
That reminds me. One final Homo story for the road:
As Homo sat by his locker, with this head in his hands shivering from sadness, tears rolling off of his elbows and onto his knees, I almost felt bad enough not to mess with him… But I couldn’t resist!
I walked up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said “Hey Buddy. I know how you’re feeling. This is probably the low point in your life. You look around and you’re surrounded by a room full of people you’ve disappointed today. It’s tough to look any one of us in the eye and say "Thanks for practicing all year long and preparing, but it doesn’t matter because I couldn’t hold onto a football.” As an athlete there is nothing worse than letting your team down. It’s hard, I know. It’s really hard. But on the plus side I saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to Geiko. Also — Did you get my letter? Because I think I forgot to STAMP IT!"
He moved his foot as I went to stomp on it, but I think I got him pretty good otherwise.

The dude started the blog RIGHT when Romo took the job from Bledsoe.
It was pitch-perfect the whole time. He went on to start another blog but it was never as awesome.
