Nick names for Freddy Lewis aka "The Epidemic"

by PAWarrior on Jul 4, 2008 2:39 PM PDT

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.

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.

Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.

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.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Count me as one who doesn’t understand where Right Said Fred comes from.

Where the relative merits of Joe Paterson and Daniel Otero are hashed out over knife fights and tea.

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.

by PacBellBoozer on Jul 5, 2008 2:22 AM PDT up 0 recs

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.

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?
