I promise to never call him "F-Mart." (It was never my intention anyway.)

"F-Mart" would be far too easy for me. Plus it sounds terrible.

How about "Fartinez"

I think we have a winner.

Why thank you. You might say I pulled that one right out of my ass.

'Fartinez' playing at 'ShittyField' is going to make Val's head explode.

Think of the marketing opportunities:


FARTINEZ: SILENT BUT DEADLY!!!!

[Guest attgig]

how about... "young kid who shouldn't be called up until the rosters expand at the earliest"?

catchy, isn't it?

I'm dying over here.

Fernando Cortes, the Golden Boy, the Conqueror? I dunno. We shall see how he performs once he gets up here.

[Benjamin Grimm]

How about we call him "Fernando" or "Martinez"?

And don't forget, we may very well end up calling him "traded to the Chicago White Sox" or something like that.

I like calling him "Fmart" -- pronouncing it like it's one sound. Like I'm trying to say "smart" but flubbing the first letter.
