Official "Bruntlett Needs a Nickname" Thread

[Limey]

I'm not a big fan of "SuperBrunt".

Maybe something like "EB Calvin".  He sorta fucks (other teams) all over the place.

Given those two, suggestions more than welcome.

[Andyzipp]

I'd probably have to have a quasi-European accent, but...

Filthy Brunt.

And if he sucks...

Lousy Brunt.

Axshually, we need a 25 man nickname thread like last year.  We have two rookie pitchers on the team, no more Bagwell, no more Clemens, so forth... time to give each man on the 25 a nick, sorta the Blutarski way of doing things.

We're just the guys to do it too!

BTW - for Bagwell, since he's not officially departed, I'd nominate "The Black Knight", as in "It's only a flesh wound... I'm not dead yet!"

[Foghorn]

Great idea, 99% of the ideas will suck but that 1% is golden.  

I like the Black Knight.

I think of Bruntlett as one of those 25-in-one Swiss Army knives.  It may be not be the longest knife, the easiest bottle opener, the best can opener, but by God you're always going to take it with you.

wasn't he dubbed Eric the Great last year?

Doesn't Munson need one too?  And let's not forget he did well both at and behind the plate today.

And no, I am not feeling particularly creative, so I won't be bringing any suggestions to the table.

How about Erik the Viking?

"Maybe we won't get to Hy-Brasil! Maybe we won't find the Horn Resounding... but at least we've tried... and at least we shall have died like men."

Brunt force?

bRunt or B-Runt (ew)? He's not a big dude...

[Nate in IA]

How about Ghost?  As in, the Ghost of The Great Billy Spiers.

"Half-A-Bee"

He's not quite Eric the Killer Bee,
He's Eric the Half-A-Bee!

Excellent.  He's a Killer B that plays only half the games.

[astrojo]

speaking of nicknames (non-bb),

use this:  The Link

Eric Bruntlett would be dubbed Drunken Mule Robba (whatever that means!)

His mafia name would be Emilio Rubberface and his pirate (closest to Viking) name would be Cap'n Carlos Swiftknife

[Bill McLuggage]

Showing my true nerd colors:

The Link

Scroll down to "Brunt"

I think we have a Separated at Birth match...

How about "wanna-bee" ... He plays all out, all the time.  He certainly wants to "be" the guy.

Or we could just call him The Mop ...
First, have you seen that hair with the hat off?  It's especially striking when he goes the bleach route as he has once or twice in past years.  And second, he's always mopping up problems ... today's sac fly being only th emost recent example.

[Bench]

Me and my buddies have taken to calling him "Clutchlett." At least, after games like today.

[Golden Sombrero]

Clutchlett works...the guy does it all.  Instead of a number he should have a Superman symbol on his jersey.

[toddthebod]

For Munson

Herman (as in Herman Munster)

or Burner -- as in Munson (Bunsen) Burner

And why is anything more than Bear needed for Bruntlett?

[matadorph]

How 'bout ATM?

He's the banker (Econ degree from Standford) who always produces.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

He looks like a "Shaggy" but I like Clutchlett too. He's a secret weapon, an under the radar kind of guy. Like Jose Oquendo circa '87...

[CrawfordBoxes]

ATM- I like...Clutchlett isn't bad either!

[mr. owlook]

Refleshingly Brunt

[jwhudson]

"Clutchlett" is a great nickname.  Good job Bench!

Look at his picture The Link and tell me any name other than "The Chin" applies as well.

Voiced by Jay Leno...

[doran's mullet]

i am thinking "Bruntch"

brunch: a meal combining aspects of breakfast and lunch.  While novel, brunch isn't practical... except for Sundays when you need to give breakfast a day off or lunch a break.

I vote for this one.  Absolutely per-fick.

O.K., me too. Especially since he's voiced by Leno (who else?).

This gets my vote.  Couldn't be more perfect especially when the Astros wear their Brick Red/Crimson unis.  So who is going to be Cleft The Boy Chin Wonder?  Yes, I watch way too much Nickelodeon with my kids.

Eric "C.C." Bruntlett.  Very niiiice!  C.C. = Crimson Chin.  Hey BD, what's the school colors of Stanford again?

But it goes on to say, "from the ersatz product known as Skyline Chini."  That ought to make him a true hero in some of your books.

I'm pretty sure it's the Crimson-knockoffs so C.C. seems fine.
