Jersey Decisions

PrintAKA Damn the 12 character customization limit.
I want to get a custom jersey with a player's nickname, unfortunately my first choice (Baron Pickoff Von Ironglove) is way too long. A couple of good ones are 13 characters as well, meaning I have to cut off a space somewhere.
Here are a few I've been thinking of:
KUNGFU PANDA - 48
PANDAEXPRESS - 48
ALBATROSS - 75
FRANCHISE - 55
SEABISCUT - 55
BIG MONEY - 1
LITTLE MONEY - 48
Any of those stand out as better than the others? Any other ideas? Keep in mind, there's a 12 character limit, including spaces.

I don't know...
“ALBATROSS” is just as mean while having the added benefit of being a lot more clever.
Of course, buying a Zito jersey for any reason would probably qualify as “throwing good money after bad” at this point.
yeah. pick a good player’s jersey.

I know how you feel
The “mystery grab bag” I bought at the FanFest had, among other things, a ball autographed by… Armando Benitez.
Yeah, if you ever want to collect autographs from Giants castoffs, the grab bags are the way to go.
For some reason, I always go for ones with the ball in them over the ones with surplus bobbleheads. The last one I got had a Tyler Walker ball, complete with an official Thighler grease/sweat stain on it.
I still believe in Bowkermania.

I wish there was one more character allowed, because then it’d pretty much be down to
KUNG FU PANDA and PANDA EXPRESS, I like ENCHANTER too, but THIRDATBEST may be a little “inside” (not that Baron Pickoff Von Ironglove wouldn’t be, but it’s funnier imo)

Matt Morris says what?!?
Apr 27 2008
The Pittsburgh Pirates released Matt Morris on Sunday.
A rough outing (3 ER, 6 H in 1 2/3 IP) left Morris with a 0-4 record, a 9.67 ERA and a 9/7 K/BB ratio in 22 1/3 innings. “Matt Morris is a true professional,” manager John Russell said. “He’s had a great career. He wanted to help us win, but it just wasn’t working out.”
Wait…what was that about playing for a contender Matt?

I wondered when i saw the headline whether you were flying into Newark and wanted advice on where to stay, but since I’m here “The Enchanter” is definitely the way to go.
