Twins Nick Names

[Paul Pleiss]

What are your favorite nick names for Twins players? I find myself making up and using terrible nick names I hear from friends all the time. Some of my favorites are below:

 

Plouffe = The French Pancake, Babe-Plouffe

Chris Parmalee = C-Parms or Parmesian Cheesey

Joe Mauer = Baby Jesus, Mr 2%

Kurt Suzuki = Kurt's Motorcycle Shop

Jason Kubel = Koooooooooooobs

Ricky Nolasco = Ricky Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-Chari Bar Ruchi-pip Perp Pembo

Colabello = The Italian Hitman

Pinto = Beans

 

And so on. What are some of your favorites that you use with your friends or around the house?

Around the house:

Dozier = "the doooooj" (the j is pronounced like a "zh" sound)

I don't remember who came up with it, but we really need to make Caleb "Meat Raffle" Theilbar a thing.

[John Kelsey]

Brian "the Bull" Dozier or just the Bulldozier

Chris Parmelee = Chicken Parms

Phil Hughes = Philthy Hughes

Brian "The Dunce" Duensing

Michael Tonkin trucks

Joe Mauer's always changes but it usually has something to do with bilateral leg weakness

Pedro Florimon and Mike Pelfrey = *the noise a remotes makes when changing the channel*
