What do you call the players when you're rooting for them during a game?
For me it's:
Johnny Damon - "Damon", example "C'mon Damon!"
Mark Bellhorn - "Blowhorn", example "GDMF Blowhorn!"
David Ortiz - "The Big-O" or just "Big-O" (probably originated from Big Mo..)
Manny Ramirez - just "Manny". I think Man-Ram is pretty stupid and kinda gay sounding.
Nomar - "Nomie"
Trot Nixon - "Trotski" - don't ask my why. I've always done it.
Kevin Millar - "Kev-bro" - again, don't ask.. "Let's go Kev-bro" rolls out real easy!
Kevin Youkilis - "Youk" but I find myself using "Kev-bro" here too.
Jason Varitek - "Tek"
Pokey Reese - "The Pokester"
Bill Mueller - "Billy"
Mirabelli - "The Belly", example "OH YEAH, BRING ON DA BELLY!"
Gabe Kapler - "Crapler"
Pedro Martinez - "Petey"
Curt Schilling - I have not decided yet: "Curtski", "Schill", or just "Schilling"
Tim Wakefield - "Wake"
Bronson Arroyo - "Bronson" - but pronounced "bronsOn" (like when Skinner gets yelled at on the Simpsons by superintendent Chalmers)
Derek Lowe - I use D-Lowe but pronounce it "DLowe" (like Hello")
Keith Foulke - Yep, "The Foulkster"
Scott Williamson - just "Williamson". I hate that "Swilly" nick. <_<
The rest by their last names.
