Nicknames for Z

PrintWhat 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.

I didn't create that one but I really like it.
I’m sticking with it.

Which is why I'm going to choose from the list of alternatives you provided just now
ooops.

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

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.
Explain this:
seeing as he’s somewhat of a cross between the Epstein-type statistician GM
What's your position?
Or was this more of a hopeful thing as opposed to a done-deal thing?
If it was a done deal thing
believe me, it would be incredibly obvious.

And someone to split the gas bill with

Lye works better, keeps the smell away.
… or so I’ve been told.
… by nobody in particular
I was going to post
I hope that one of more of the Sexy People end up calling him boss. But you beat me to it.
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

Sorry, I'm French. C'est pas terrible means it is terrible, literally translated. Sorry.

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

Well, Jeff did say he wanted his blog to be taken seriously
but being namechecked on sports-talk radio is probably an acceptable substitute.

Funny. I've never noticed a difference.

Groz is occasionally intelligent.
Gas is an idiot all of the time.

Groz actually reads the blogs
Gas doesn’t know a damn thing about baseball. It’s all chemistry and leadership crap from him.
Groz is the guy who has Dave on. He can't be all bad.

In the tradition of the great Mariner nicknames, Cammy and Shiggy...
I’m gonna have to go with Zduri
I was hoping to run with Dr. Zoidberg.
Mostly so I could use this:
And we can use this one every time Baker suggests
that Zoidberg should trade Jeff Clement for (insert mediocre RHP relief pitcher here)
I aprrove of this.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Zoidberg is the best choice.

Im down with Dr. Zoidberg
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

If he gets rid of or doesnt re-sign Beltre
Ill just call him “Dick Blower”
or…
“Cock Sucker”
“Dipshit”
“Stupid Fuck”
“Idiot”
so on and so forth.
Hes got about a year to prove himself.

Unless Beltre just decides he doesnt want to play here anymore
Than no hard feelings.

He should have been a lot creepier than he actually was.
It must have been his complete and utter lack of success.

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.

Just read an Eric Seidman post talking about the M’s and some pitch/FX work and he used Trader Jack.
That or Dr. Z :P
