Getting hungry and soliciting nicknames

Couple people on here, I think, had been asking about the "El CD" on Leo Nunez's glove. Asked him about it the other day, it's a nickname he grew up with in the Dominican. I asked what it stood for, if anything, he said, "It's a long story."

It really isn't even border-line appropriate, but I have always been a fan of Ross "Blow Your" Gload.

Here's a few I like :

"Run, Joey, Run" Gathright ( obscure 70's Saturday morning TV reference )

"Smash" Gordon

Billy "Batler"

Brian "Brainister"

Leo "The Dirty Nunez"

"Pro-Zack" Greinke

( quotation marks optional )

How about:

"Makin me Soria met ya"?

-OR-

"Sit yer Soria stown?"

(You need to say these out loud)

I am only a fan of the Chiefs and Royals because I live here.

This is going to be fun. 1) John "The inning stops here" Buck I still don't know how this guy continues to cash MLB paychecks. 2) Gil "Well if I'm not going to get any run support I might as well give up 5 runs" Meche. 3)Alex "Golden strikeout boy) Gordon. 4) Trey "I didn't know these guys were this bad' Hillman. 5)Tony "I wanna hit like Angel Berroa" Pena Jr. 6)David "Wow I am hurt even earlier than Mike Sweeney" DeJesus. 7)Mark "Am I the only guy on this team that can play" Grudzielanek. 8)Billy "Are me and Mark Grud the only 2 guys on this team that can play" Butler. 9)Zack "I think it's time for my breakdown" Greinke.

Billy "Groundskeeper Willie" Butler - After all, all he does is rake.

Zack "Silent K" Grienke - Quiet kid, technically the 'K' in his first name could be deemed silent, and he's known to strike a few batters out.

Tony "Pam" Pena, Jr. - Insert your preferred "no stick" comment here.

....got friends in Lee's Summit, I'll try to take you up on that next time I'm out that way.

Come to Lees Summit man...Five Guys is out here off of 291 N...And while you're at it, stop in at North American Savings Bank and say hi to all of us here...

Butler should be know as Babe. Think about it. He's just 21, he's a little on the portly side and he can flat out rake. Billy Butler = BaBe. It works on so many levels. If only he used to be a pitcher and hit for more power....

The G-man angle could work too!! Maybe we could work that in with DA BLUES BROTHERS theme. Dress like a G-man or a Blues Brother, Jake or Ellwood. Always thought Cab Calloway was WAY cool lookin in dat flick. I think the Royals could get the band back together to save the orphanage again. Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Donald "Duck" Dunn and "Bones" Malone are still very active in the music scene I'm pretty sure.

Maybe save the Peter Gunn theme for the seventh inning and other Blues Bros. tunes the rest of the game. Except a one run ball game in the ninth has gotta be the THEME. Could even pick some deflating tunes for the oppostion when they come to bat,,,, like "I'm a looooooser"

Like Brando and STELLA!!!

Almost forgot,,,, Since it's Billy Ray Butler, how about BUBBA Butler. Looks the part, he's from the south and would carry throught the ballpark when properly presented from the diaphragm with Mucho Gusto.

I have been campaigning for this since January, sooo,,,, here goes.

Joey Gathright should be called ICHI G for obvious reasons. Swat hitter, gotta watch the bunt, torments the pitchers and defense, gives other hitters good counts and pitchs to look at, turns a single into a triple. Well you get the idea.

Now this could be big with the new powder blue jerseys. DA BLUES BROTHERS!! Have a shades day at the K. Like every Friday night to start a tradition. Would go great with the fireworks!

Start each inning when the Royals come to bat with the Blues Brothers version of the Peter Gunn TV theme song. Now that would get the crowd rockin. Excerpt: "Got a full tank of gas, a full pack of cigarettes and we're wearing sunglasses at night,,,, let's roll!!" And another: "We're on a mission from GOD!!"

"Goat", no reason. My wife came up with it last year, and that is what we call him now. No disrespect intended.

Billy Butler = Billy the kid.. on another note, am I the only person that hates hearing Tony Pena referred to as TJ?

Alex Gordon's initials... AG. AG is the periodic table of elements symbol for Silver.

Oh my god they are good.

Gathright's nickname should be "Roo" as in the baby kangaroo from Pooh Corner.

The lineup of Gathright,Grudz,Gordan,Guillen, and Gload should be referred to as the G-Men

How about Fully Gloaded, Lock and Gload, and solid Gload. Let's make this happen!

Anyone care to weigh in on when TPJ might get benched cause of his poor bat? Callaspo has shown some promise at the plate and hasn't been too bad in the field from what I heard.

for some In and Out Burger!!! Sam you have clout...make it happen in KC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
