Nick names for Freddy Lewis aka "The Epidemic"

This guy needs a nick name.  Probably my favorite player on the Giants just because he has so much raw talent.

I was thinking about it and you could pull off a T-mac type thing and call him "flew".  Or you could play off it and call him "The Epidemic" 

Any other suggestions.  The guy is too much of a boss not to have a legit nick name.  Lets hear what you have to say.

I love him but

that's what she said

Notgardo, I still love you -- but you're grounded. No Guitar Hero for a month, no Cheez-Its for two months, and NO BASEBALL! This hurts me as much as it hurts you.

Not very creative

It’s not very creative, but I like “Fast Freddie.” Thank goodness he’s playing well enough that no one can reasonably call him “Freddie the Freeloader.”

It’s a joke.

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny

I thought it’s kinda funny.

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

Never heard of it.

You could also take the Flew pun in another direction – flying. As in flying all over the outfield, trying to catch a ball, but never quite getting there.

Thus, I propose Amelia Earhart. Y’know, sort of like how Linden was Magellan.

I tried to get Right Said Fred to stick but that never worked. I called him Fab Five Freddy briefly in 2007 as well.

From wikipedia….

The group is named after a novelty song of the same name which was a hit for Bernard Cribbins in 1962.

Adoptive papa to Omar...so basically I'm screwed.

You might be right, but I assumed it was from the group by that name who had the hit “I’m Too Sexy” back in the nineties. I’m sure THEY named themselves after that song though.

That was the one I was referencing.

As was I.

I just found the whole Bernard Cribbins thing a bit amusing as well.

See

Even the “what should Freddie Lewis’ nickname be” fanpost made it to 75 words without padding.

FAIL

Blade was Mark Belanger’s nickname.

Does every really need a nickname?

I’m happy enough with Freddie.

Why not find out what the guys in the clubhouse call him? From what I know, just about every player has a nickname, the public just doesn’t always find out.

by positiveuphemism on Jul 5, 2008 10:21 AM PDT   0 recs

He’s been quoted as saying his mother calls him Fredrick, he does not like Freddie, and he answers to Fred. Whether he gets that or not is another story.

by robbgin on Jul 5, 2008 11:51 AM PDT   0 recs

Mom calls him Frederick? Is he always in trouble?

OOOhhh, good thinking, Norwich.

That is really clever. I like that. How about ‘the Trivia Answer’, so as to highlight what ‘answer’ he provides.

Maybe the question will be “What player did Fred Lewis replace?”
