Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Josh Thole's Nickname: T-HOLE


I know everyone's excited about this guy.  And I know that Mets fans tend to love scrappy players who just seem to hit and seem to have a good attitude and work ethic (GRISSION).  Well, I think Thole definitely has a chance to be the new Daniel Murphy for the next few years, or if he never gets a fair shake with the Mets, the next Jeff Keppinger

Anyway, we need a nickname for Thole.  I saw someone call him Thor.  I feel like this doesn't work as surely a Norse god would have more power than Thole has exhbited. Therefore, I suggest T-HOLE. 

You see, T-HOLE is simple, sounds sorta dirty and sounds very blue collar.  My dad and I have already started calling him T-HOLE.  What do you all think?  I know it's very name-suggestive and everyone is sick of A-Rod, K-Rod, I-rod, Gonzo, etc.  However, I don't think T- Hole will be too similar to what other people are called because how many people's names end with "Hole".  The only one I can think of is Pujols, and that's a stretch.  

I welcome alternate suggestions in the comments.

I can dig The Ole

I guess I’m on a spelling/wordplay kick.
It’ll work especially well if he proves to be bad at blocking pitches in the dirt.

not that it needs to be said, but...

Pujols is a stretch but I guess that would make him A – hole :P

I like that one.

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

There is a noticeable lack of good nicknames in the MLB nowadays. A-Rod, that’s just a simple contraction. K-Rod, at least that’s a little better, but still boring.

We need good ones, something like Luis “The Spanish Goat” Castillo. I don’t know why, but “Spanish Goat” popped into my head immediately, so…

Castillo

If Castillo knew you called him “Spanish” instead of Dominican, he might be the one calling you a “Cabron”.

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).
