Around SBN: Holy War Week Brings out the Worst in Fans

My first Fanpost: Nick Green's nickname



Nick Green has been great at shortstop for the Red Sox this season. He's been reliable with Jed Lowrie on the DL and Julio Lugo being sucky inconsistent. Nicky's prevented us from needing to aquire anyone, and is having a great year in general. But we Red Sox fans already knew that, right? :)

The topic I wanted to discuss is what nickname we should have for him. It should be something fun and creative that isn't just Greenie or Nicky. I have a couple of ideas, but I'd like to know what my fellow OTMers think.

My first idea occured to me after his walkoff homer against the Braves- Nick "Game Over" Green. It's a ripoff creative adaptation of Caps' defenseman Mike Green's nickname (Yes, I'm a Caps fan).

Another idea is just something random I thought of (I can be that way sometimes). Nick plays the same position and has the same initials as Nomar. Nomar is Ramon spelled backwards. Nick spelled backwards is "Kcin", which looks kinda like Kickin' or Kitchen. So things along the lines of "kickin' ass" , "something's cooking", and "hot" would follow. Any other thoughts?

Have a great 4th of July!

On another board I frequent

His nickname is Hammerhead, because of his wide-set eyes. (He also gets compared to a deer in the headlights fairly often.)

And welcome to OTM.

Hammerhead... thats a good one.

I’ve noticed his eyes too, and wondering if his sunglasses have to be custom made.

Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!

He who bangs Heidi

Not to be confused with He who banged Heidi [while married].

He has other nicknames, so we shouldn’t mix them up too much.

How about Sid?

You know, Sid from ice age?

Sid, Hammerhead Sid, Sid the hammerhead…. subject line if it’s too slow.

Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!

Absolutely not

The name Sid does not bring good thoughts to my mind…

If Nick Green ...

is anything like his twin brother Kevin, he is a super nice guy. Played with Kevin for a year or two in Kissimmee and Jamestown.

Never a dull moment!

Nick Green = NG (not the user on here) = Nice Guy
