Max Scherzer needs a nickname!

Post by King of Queens » Tue May 06, 2008 4:13 pm

I've been wracking my brain all week (okay, maybe not) trying to figure out an appropriate nickname for our dear friend Mr. Scherzer. So far I've come up with:



Mad Max

Maxonator

The Max

Grody to the Max

Maxipad

Maximilian Schelled



A little help here, please? In light of last night's events, I'm inclined to go with "Maximilian Schelled." However, a good performance against the Cubs this weekend could sway me to "Mad Max."

Great, usable nicknames have to be short, no more than two sylables. "Mad Max" is about right. It gets my vote.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Perry can confirm, I believe he's known as "Max Speed" in AZ.

I like Maxterblaster followed by Max Speed.

Maxterblaster sounds like a song Megadeth would do.

If he gets sent to minors and then comes back up, he could be REMAX.
