Mickey Callaway Needs a Nickname

[Edgy MD]

Art Howe was Mr. Clean. Willie Randolph was WWSB. Jerry was Gangsta Jerry. Terry was White Jerry. Callaway has gone too long without a nickname.

Already submitted in another thread: "One-and-Done" and "Clueless Callaway."

I'll submit "Mickey Fallaway." Because holy smokes, they've been falling away for three months.

I like that. It does seem appropriate.

I really had high hopes for Mickey, but unless the new GM is one of the current three in-house contenders, and one who initially supported Mickey and still does, I don't think he'll survive the transition.

"Mickey" is a nickname. Perhaps we should just call him "Michael" in an overly formal way to show we're distancing ourselves from him.

"Michael Christopher Callaway, you get Jose Reyes OUT OF THE LINEUP THIS INSTANT!"

What was the handle of our old nickname maven?

Exactly!

For some reason, I haven't yet gotten tired of referencing this thread from 2006: Nickname Methodology

I miss Willpie. Who was s/he, anyway? I don't remember if the moniker was one of youse or a long-lost `pooler.
