new nickname time...
So everyone…
What is the beards new nickname? Any ideas?
we need a beard nickname contest...
over at the celtics blog they had a contest where everyone posts saying a new nicname for glen big baby davis…
and then the site manager would ask big baby to pick the best nickname out of all of them… and the person won free tickets to a celtics game..
The third baseman formerly known as The Beard?
Maybe we could just come up with a symbol.
Mr. Technique - or - The Technician - or - Mr. Tech - or
Because his defensive technique at third (footwork, angles to the ball, throwing motion, positioning) is nearly perfect

and is there a beard bobblehead night for next year?
if so then they have to make new bobbleheads to take off the beard
No Blake bobblehead in 2010
Here’s the list:
May 18 – Andre Ethier
June 8 – Jonathan Broxton
July 20 – James Loney
August 17 – Matt Kemp
Oh the horror!
Could “shave” and few seconds of his sprinting!
New Nicknames? I think something quick like Skin or Chinley or Indy or Face or Hamstring…
I was going to call him The Chin
but as I told Eric that conjures up visions of Leno that I don’t want. (And as Eric pointed out, Blake DeWitt could end up like Conan in that scenario.)
Please grow it back Beardie!
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants country, and damned proud of it.
He’ll come into spring training clean shaven. No one will know who he is. He’ll hit a homerun and no one will yell “Beard!!!!!!!!!!!!”. He’ll wonder, “WTF????”, and quit shaving the next day (Tuesday). By Saturday he’ll be, most definitely, “Beard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”.
It could go into the regular season but the first time he goes hitless in 2 straight games (guaranteed first week of the season; no offense, I like Blake) he’ll quit shaving. My money’s on Spring Training.
speaking of Blake DeWitt

Perhaps the ’10 Dodgers will have a bearded Blake, after all!
I like "The Chin".
Or how bout “Dr. Chinenstien” or “Chinmiester” or " Chinster" " Andre and the Chinmunk". But I keep coming back to “The Chin”.

I'm still going to call him The Beard
its still in there somewhere.
B-Pro’s top 11 Dodgers prospects are out and they consider both Dee Gordon, and Chris Withrow 5 star(top 50) prospects.
yup
that guys list is almost ALL about upside
At least people won’t call me Casey Blake anymore when I wear my jersey.

Doh!
Send him to the Isotopes until he can step up and bring back the beard.
Woohoo, I get to look forward to another 7-6 season ("at best") in 2010! There's nothing like going to Idaho for a bowl game.
