Nickname The Phillie: Finalists

Posted by Tim Malcolm, Mon, July 21, 2008 02:22 PM

Two weeks ago I started asking you to give nicknames to five Phillies who really didn’t have any real nicknames. Some of the responses were hilarious (Ryan “Can’t hit a fucking off-speed pitch” Howard; “The Brown Sombrero”), some were very good, some … ehh … (You could’ve humored me with more Seanez material!)

But I narrowed the choices down to at least four for each player (I made it five for Werth, since I couldn’t leave out “Johnny Wacko,” I added some regular stand-bys for Howard, and I took out Happ, who was victim of a send-down during the nicknaming process), so now it’s up to you to vote for your favorites.

In the response to this post list your top choice from the finalists of each player. You can copy and paste this to fill in your choices:

Jayson Werth:
Kyle Kendrick:
Ryan Howard:
Rudy Seanez:

And now, the finalists.

Jayson Werth
The Patient
Speed Stick
High-Net
Jay Bird
Johnny Wacko

Kyle Kendrick
The Kid
Krazy K
Houdini
The Sink

Ryan Howard
K-How
Baby Huey
Giant Power
Airshow
UPS
The Big Man

Rudy Seanez
ColdStone
Black Belt
Cinderblock Head
The Chief

And just to put my two cents in, I’m uncertain with Werth; for Kendrick, The Kid (it seems as if that’s his name already); for Howard, I don’t know how I feel about giving Howard a nickname solely on his strikeouts when he is an amazing run producer; for Seanez, ColdStone.

    When I submitted “Johnny Wacko” for Werth I was just joking but apparently it has a nice little cult following now. My choices are:

    Werth: Jay Bird
    Kendrick: The Kid
    Howard: K-How
    Seanez: Chief

  19. Jason Says:

    Werth– Abstain

    Kendrick — The Kid

    Howard — The Big Man

    Seanez — The Chief

    Lets be honest any of the other ones wouldnt stick.

    And if K-How wins for Howard, you have the wrong type of fans reading this website.

    Rudy Seanez
    Chief

  22. ryan Says:

    love UPS for howard. makes sense on so many levels. first of all, he actually physically resembles a UPS truck. and second, he knows how to deliver.

    disappointed we couldn’t come up with anything in regards to his obscenely gigantic nose however.

  23. mets123 Says:

  24. Lewisauce Says:

    Jayson Werth: Johnny Wacko

    Kyle Kendrick: The Kid
    Ryan Howard: The Big Man although my friends and I call him “The Breeze” for when he strikes out
    Rudy Seanez: Chief

  28. KM Says:

    Werth - captain gay beard
    Kendrick - “everybody hits, woohoo”
    Howard - I like the one about the offspeed pitch

  35. Brian Michael Says:

    werth: Speed Stick
    kendrick: Krazy K
    howard: The Big Man
    seanez: ColdStone (chad cordero from the nats is the chief, if he ever plays again)

  36. Sandy Says:

    Werth: Johnny Wacko (it just fits)

    Kendrick: The Kid (regardless of who else has gone by that name in the past, he doesn’t strike out enough people to have a nickname featuring the letter “K”)

    Howard: I still vote for Big Brown, as politically incorrect as it may be

    Seanez: The Chief (I have seen him pitch like twice this year if that, I have no idea).

    Mets fans: “Uncreative Douches Who Have Nothing Better To Do”

  37. Jeff M Says:

    Jayson Werth: johnny wacko (how can this not be his nickname)
    Kyle Kendrick: the kid (It just works)
    Ryan Howard: Airshow (This works too. He either hits it far or there is a big “air” breeze… it works. We have to give him some props for his HR ability)
    Rudy Seanez: The chief (I just like calling him chief)

  38. Don M Says:

    I don’t think Rudy Seanez deserves a nickname.. which is why I submitted “THE WHO?”

    Im pretty sure they call Kendrick, The Kid.. so I say we stick with that..

    Werth has been clutch a few times with his bat this year.. and that combined with his figure.. I submitted “STICK”.. and then rambled off “SPEED STICK” because he can swipe some bags too..

    Johnny Wacko just doesn’t do anything for me..

    Ryan Howard.. K-How is the funniest.. and I think Harry K calls him THE BIG MAN.. so we would have a hard time convincing others to call him anything different

  39. KM Says:

    the best nickname for werth is definitely captain gay beard . . . he’s like a wild pirate with a truly terrible goatee.

  40. sean Says:

    Jayson Werth:Jhonny Wacko
    Kyle Kendrick: The Kid
    Ryan Howard:The Big Man
    Rudy Seanez:The Chief

  41. that guy Says:

    Jayson werth IS johnny wacko. Although I am partial to “vagina chin”. Seanez has to be “cinderblockhead”. Anyone who disagrees on the seanez issue has obviously never seen his enormous square head.

  42. Bking Says:

    Jimmy Rollins- Jroll or wishlist
    Jayson Werth- J Dub
    Chase Utley- Chase Clutchy
    Ryan Howard- Big Brown
    Pat Burrell- Pat “Buisness” Burrell or Pat the Bat or Bat
    Shane Victorino- The FLyin Hawaiin
    Pedro Feliz- pvp
    Carlos ruiz- Carlos “chooch” Ruiz
