Mike Carp's Nickname
posted at 5/2/2013 8:21 PM EDT
Because of his resemblance to Chris Elliott, who played Woogie in the movie There's Something About Mary, I suggest we call him...

WOOGIE!
The idea was inspired by a Southpaw post on the Doppleganger thread.
Since he's already played a few seasons, he won't qualify for Rookie of the Year, but he still could be Woogie of the Year. What say you, Wed Sox fans?

In Seattle they are calling the one that got away! What a joke that organization is first they give Carp away for cash because they couldn't send him down and the reason why they were in that position was because they wanted too keep Casper Wells, 3 weeks later they dump Casper Wells !HUH?

THis is one of many reasons that Hill is so bitter these days. He predicts or makes comments that suggest the Mariners will be better than the Sox and that their porspects are better than ours, yet they keep falling flat on their faces and making dumb moves.
At least The Mariners will have roomates in the ALW cellar. The Houston Astros will be keeping them company for the next few years.

Nah. That suits Josh Beckett better, although that yoyo may have gotten stuck.

I did not knowingly steal it from you, rsdd. Either I didn't see it, or "misremember" seeing it. Perhaps it's just a matter of great minds thinking alike.
