Mr. Ed -> Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 11:46:49 AM)
Someone needs to insert a glossary of terms here so that those of us who don't over analyze every single remark can figure out the nomenclature. There are a handful of initials you guys use with no explanation as to who you're talking about, which means that some of us can't figure out your posts - which might not be such a bad thing. [image]http://talkvikes.gorge.net/image/s2.gif[/image] And yes, I know that [image]http://talkvikes.gorge.net/upfiles/smiley/anim_wow.gif[/image] refers to Nick Punto. Beyond that - it's hit and miss. OK, fill in as needed. [X(] , Sparky(as called by Gardy in the past) also refer to Nick Punto Caca/Brain Fart - Alexi Casilla GoGo - Carlos Gomez Uncle Del - Delmon Young Morny - Justin Morneau Baby Jesus - Joe Mauer OCAB/TAWS - Orlando Cabrera

STUD = Dave E

Lynn G. -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 12:10:52 PM)
Excellent! Thank you. [:D] One note I would make - the name "CarGo" was MUCH better for Carlos Gomez than "GoGo." I only say that because I coined "CarGo."

Lynn G. -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 12:12:02 PM)
Of course many of them are obvious (Morny - Morneau). I'm glad to finally know who TAWS is. What is that supposed to spell out?

Dave E -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 12:15:12 PM)
The Asshole Who Sucks. You mean that isn't intuitive?! [;)]

Dave E -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 12:15:48 PM)
Chef = Gardy

djskillz -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 12:47:47 PM)
CTHOBP was also the moniker for former Twin Tony Batista. Standing for Crouching Tiger/Tony Hidden OBP.

djskillz -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 12:52:39 PM)
Wormkiller is another former Twin, Jacque Jones, known for his Johnny Damon-esque throwing arm.

So.Mn.Fan -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 1:05:25 PM)
LewLew for Lew Ford .... I preferred "Iron Man" (for his habit of ironing his shirts while they were on) Tan Man for Marty Cordova .... He of the rich, cortinthian leather for skin Lucky Bastard for Scott Erickson .... I mean, look at him.... and his wife Murdered Row (A Sweens original) for any lineup featuring Punto/Tolbert/Casilla, etc .... Lumpy for Matt Lecroy .... no explanation needed, from the character on Leave it to Beaver, to his physique, to the Jeopardy question .... "what consistency do Matt Lecroys underwear appear to be?" Christ, the guy made Frank Robinson cry.

So.Mn.Fan -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 1:19:07 PM)
Hey! Hey! Uncle Del was highly creative, descriptive, and informative. (if you've ever had an Uncle Del) The bib overalls and Red Wing boots topped off the nickname perfectly.

Trekgeekscott -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 1:19:36 PM)
Another one for Lumpy LeCroy was Bugeater.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: Twins Glossary (11/12/2009 1:31:25 PM)
I coined the phrase Fat Stairs when Stairs was with the Cubs. Doesn't apply to the Twins, obviously, but I wanted to show off. [&:]

Club Listing: The [sm=anim_wow.gif] Appreciation Club (Nick Punto) - Brian Parlin, Jim Frenette, Zoilo, Todd Gray, Pete M was excommunicated.

Really too many to name. I think we come up with at least a couple keepers every game-night. (and forget most of them)
