Just curious if any of you have nicknames for players on your fantasy teams.

Ever since returning from his DL stint, I've been referring to the Tampa Bay second baseman as: 0-for-Forsythe.

Most of my batters have the same nickname..."Lazy Dumb Bastard".

I just tend to curse out any manager that brings one of my closers into a non-save situation (because it often ends poorly for my ratios) or leaves in a struggling starter for way too long (and then invariably brings in a really crappy reliever just to ensure that everyone on base becomes an earned run).

sure.. i got Triple F or FFF.....for Fat F#ck Fielder.... also known affectionately as Fatty if he happens to get a hit which is rare.

I hate andrew cashner's beard and frankly his pitching so i refer to him as White Trash Cash.

But in general... "Loser" is what most of my team goes by.

What's worse for Jameson Taillon?
Getting a comebacker off the noggin
Melancon blowing the save and stealing the win

That was quite the blow to his head. I couldn't believe they let him stay in the game. I suppose they have smart people analyzing the situation. Hopefully he is ok.
