OT: Other Chicago & General Sports Thread XXVII: Baez Time!

[Kurtosis]

Oh great, hasn't even played a game yet and he's already got a stupid ass nickname

If you are talking about McDermott he has been called that since college.

 

[madgoat33]

Let it stay in college

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Yeah, that'll happen.

 

[Kurtosis]

I'm sure you are really fun at parties.

Seriously though, who cares?

 

[Pepe Silvia]

It's just a ****in nickname. It's not that big of a deal.

Just be thankful Ryan Kelly hasn't participated in a nickname jersey game ...yet.

@sam_amick: As the Bulls keep clearing space, I'm told they'll send Anthony Randolph and two second rounders to Orlando. Randolph expected to be waived.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop
Bulls-Magic trade translated: The Bulls really wanted Doug McDermott. And now have cap space for free-agent signings

why are you guys getting so upset about it? I just don't understand the nickname stuff. These are grown men you don't even know, not highschool buddies. Doesn't help that apparently all people do is fit the word "bucket" into a player's name and all of a sudden that's a nickname.

I didn't pen the nickname first of all, it was already established. Is it that much worse than what goes on in hockey where they add an "er" or "ie" to the end of a player's name anyway?

Second, if I am upset so are you (note that I do not really think either of us are upset).

Finally, I better not see one post from you saying "Sharpie," "Duncs," or "Tazer" during the season.

PS: I will definitely now refer to you as Madbuckets. Or Madgoater. Whichever you prefer really.

I don't think you will. I honestly can't remember ever referring to players like that.

Madbuckets definitely rustled some jimmies in this thread

 

[madgoat33]

#sorrynotsorry

 

[Kurtosis]

Ain't nobody rustling anyone's jimmies.

Almora hit for the cycle.

Schwarber got promoted.

Yes.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Nope. More like...





Jokes aside, Pat Riley is waiting for the Chicago Bulls to amnesty Carlos Boozer.

Nope. It's the White Raven. College nicknames stay forever.

Lmao no one is getting upset. You're the one who originally posted about something as insignificant as a nickname.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Just dawned on me:

You can't spell TwistedWrister without TWTW.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Almora hit for the cycle.

Schwarber got promoted.

Yes.

Sweet. Looks like Mark Zagunis catcher and 3rd round pick also did it in Boise. Cubs have the deepest group of prospect hitters right now. Alcantara has been rocking it in his brief showing. .391.

 

[Nothingman*]

Almora hit for the cycle.

Schwarber got promoted.

Yes.

Love it! Schwarber was under his class at Kane Co. Lets hope he carries it on at Daytona.

 

[Blue Liner]

That particular promotion is such a win-win for players. Not only are you moving up the ranks of the organization but you get to leave Geneva, IL for Daytona Beach. They have to love that phone call.

Nothing against Geneva, nice area. But you get my point.
