Brett Lawrie Nickname Thread *Updated: Poll with NEW choices 

Post#1 » by Lucky26 » Tue Aug 16, 2011 3:33 am

We obviously need a nickname for this guy FAST. Wondering if anyone knows of any known nicknames for "The Kid.``

Well, you got my choice, what`s yours.

The Law. Doesn't matter that it doesn't fit the pronunciation.

I know, it`s a Raptors board thing; but come on now, if we don`t have a name for this guy before this game ends, that is pathetic as Jays fans.

Also, I know the power of RealGM. If one (name) picks up on this thread, I feel it will make it on some writer`s or blogger`s notes.

The only good nicknames are ones that are earned organically. How about we talk baseball and leave the contrived nicknames to middle schoolers?

Cool story bro. How about Terminator 2.0 in reference to Tecumseh18`s post on not seeing this much hype turn into reality since Tom Henke.

Any nickname is better than the one Jerry Howarth is trying to pin on "Langley" Lawrie.

"Lawrie Hallelujah!"

If Matt Devlin called the Jays games, he'd say that after every roundtripper - I guaran-damn-tee it.

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Okay, a lot of them need work; but the three that stand out to me SO FAR are:

The Kid

The Hitman

The Law
