Nicknames for Z

Sth70021_tiny by Taylor H on

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.

Zoinks, Zoinks, Zoinks

and it’s not particularly close.

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.

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 to parent up   0 recs

If it was a done deal thing

believe me, it would be incredibly obvious.

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.

by short on Oct 22, 2008 3:25 PM PDT   0 recs

Someone on USSM called him Zardoz.

Now I’m going to have a hard time deciding between that and Dr. Zoidberg

This gets my vote.

Bring back José Cruz Jr!

KJR has stolen Dr. Zoinks.

But Groz just gave LL credit!!!!!

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.

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.

I'm convinced.

My vote goes to Zoid

by JLC on Oct 22, 2008 7:32 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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

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.
