The great guys over at GROTA just posted a nickname discussion up in which they come up with great AKAs for our boys in blue.
Neil and I were discussing the same over in a game thread last Saturday and the two really gave me a thought.
What are the favorite nicknames all of ya'll have for the Cubbies? My list is as follows:
Ryan Theriot: The Riot (If it ain't broke)
Alfonso Soriano - The Fonz "Heeeeyyyyy!'
Milton Bradley - The Game
Kosuke Fukudome - The F-Bomb
Reed Johnson - Reed Johnson's Beard
Aaron Miles - Dirtbag (Kudos Neil!)
Ted Lilly - Bulldog
Kevin Gregg - Gogglehead
Any takers? What say you?
