   All or nothing is pretty accurate but not very catchy….i like special k

   K-How has grown on me, whoever made that nickname up had a winner.

   Before someone else makes the joke: Johnny Wacko.

   I suggested “Nolan Ryan Howard” since he’s the strikeout king….. but K-How has the subtleness about it that makes it great… I think he needs to start hitting over .250 before we give him a nickname though, cause we’re all going to bash him right now

    let me start by saying i like Ryan Howard and he is a big part of the reason we are a contending team the last few years, but. . . .i wonder how “special” he feels to not make the all star team? i mean he asks for arod money, but hasn’t even been in the top 2 or 3 in his position in the NL in the last couple years.

    what am i missing?

15. fred Says:

    low and away K is awesome

16. Rob E. Says:

    Howard should be removed from the ticket for the Phillies nation shirt. Hammels and Utley.

17. Mike T. Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    Like I said before, “K-How”.

18. Lewisauce Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 4:57 pm

    I think Mike T. came up with “K-How.”

    Ye can vote all ye want. I’m calling him K-How, and I’m not calling him anything else.

19. GM-Carson Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    I used to call him Blaster Master on my blog.

    Ryan “Giant Power” Howard…… not bad?

21. kattapilla Says:

    How about Ryan How-could-you-blow-another-rally?

22. oaklandphilphan Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

    How about “R-y-A.N.” Howard? The A.N. stands for All-or-Nothing

23. NJ Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    As has been going since day 1 it’s K-How… This one isn’t even maybe this or that… It’s K-How.

24. NEPA Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

    I’m not a huge fan of the nicknames that have one letter-abbreviation ex: a-rod j-roll k-rod but i do like k-how over everything else so far.

25. That Guy Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

    I like “johnny wacko”, “head back to the dugout howard”, and simply “General Shitbox”

26. That Guy Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

    How about “Garfield” or “Lazy River”

27. Bruce Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

    Please Howard bashers, I’m sure Tim wants a nickname that a majority of fans and Howard himself would appreciate.

    Speaking of Howard, while the rest of the team is struggling offensively, he stands out as the hot hitter with a 11 game hitting streak that is good for .318 BA (14 for 44). During that streak, “Giant Power” Howard
    blasted 5 HRs and had 13 RBIs.

    Here’s another amazing stat for his season; his OPS (on base + slugging)… with RISP is an astounding 1.099 !!!

    I hate to think where the Phillies may be in the standings without “Giant Power” Howard.

    This guy makes Adam Dunn look like Paul Loduca

29. NEPA Says:

    Vegas, because he’s a wild Swinger.

30. NEPA Says:

    haha disregard that ^^^ that barely makes sense

31. scot Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:44 pm

    Vegas is actually good. It gives him props and acknowledges his shortcomings.

    Ryan “all or nothing” Howard.

34. Jeremy Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:54 pm

    Or, less politically incorrect: “Hat Trick”

    3 Ks and a 3-run homer

35. ryan Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 5:54 pm

    over-powered howard

    10 million 200
    His contract number this season and the least possible amount of strikeouts he will have this season.

40. nick Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 6:33 pm

    my friend and I commonly refer to Howard as, The Big Cat.

    not sure why.

41. Pythagoras Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    Stay in Math Class philsphan. Ryan Howard would have to become a slap hitter ala Kenny Lofton to avoid striking out at least 270 times by seasons end.

42. NEPA Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 7:11 pm

    “How Now Brown Cow”

43. Steve Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 7:20 pm

    It could be Ryan “The Intern” Howard after the Office character who shares his name (who was actually named after Howard the baseball player while he played for the Scranton/Wikes-Barre Red Barons), or maybe Ryan “Liberty Place III” Howard. I have to say though, Special K is the best nickname so far.

44. Giuliano Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    I’m in favor of Ryan “Can’t hit a fucking off-speed pitch” Howard

    just about pissed myself laughing at this one.

45. JMS Says:
    July 9th, 2008 at 11:25 pm

    “How Now Brown Cow” made me laugh a little too hard…I’m going to start calling him that.

    1) “The $10 million Strikeout”
    2) Trade Bait
    3) Phillie Phat Bat
    4) Biggun’
    5) The Five Hole Hole
    6) Donkey Kong

49. Steve Says:

    Maybe Ryan “Pedro Cerrano” Howard, given his penchant for killing the ball and striking out. It seems as though Jobu has been on his side lately, leading the NL in both HRs and RBIs

50. Mike Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 10:40 am

    How bout “Big Wind”?

51. Adam Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 11:14 am

    Gotta mention my favorite nickname on the team….the Coste Guard

52. Bloodbath McGrath Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 1:31 pm

    Feliz has to be Cerrano. Can’t hit and off speed pitch and his name is actually Pedro. It’s too perfect.

53. Bloodbath McGrath Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    How about “the Breeze.”

    It can be taken two ways. Sometimes he makes it look so easy… and other times… well, he creates one hell of a breeze.

54. Jeff M Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 1:38 pm

    Ryan “Airshow” Howard

    Either he hits it a long way, or there is a lot of air with his swing. What do you think??

55. Steve Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    K-How is catchy, but the bashers are going a little overboard. He leads the NL in HR and RBI and continues to raise his avg daily. What more do you want out of your clean-up spot? And if sooooooo many other 1st basemen can out produce him, then why haven’t they? Some Philly fans really suck. And the “He wants A-Rod money” rumor is one of the biggest urban legends out there. The is NO proof, quote, or otherwise out there that can be produce to support that SPECULATION. Stop parroting sports talk radio.

56. J Says:

    i like the Ryan “Airshow” Howard one

57. sharon Says:
    September 8th, 2008 at 11:53 pm

    i dont care how politically correct this is but i think we should call him The Brown Babe…cuz when he’s hot that’s all that matters and two homers in one game says he’s smokin’
