You Make the Call: Mike Nickeas

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 14 2012 07:40 AM

Reserve catcher or No. 1 in Buffalo? Or reserve in Buffalo? Bonus: Excluding Mike Nickeas' bride (center) predict the 2012 season for Curly, Blondy, Squinty, Pearly & Blacky

I think he'll be on the big club for the majority of the season, but that Thole will get a large majority of the starts. 52 G, .210/.257/.282/.539, 2 HR, 15 RBI

Ceetar Mar 14 2012 07:54 AM Re: You Make the Call: Mike Nickeas

He'll be the major league backup. He'll "hit" just enough to justify his defensive role and backup nature. Thole will get a lot of games. 30 starts, .240/.302/.350 20 doubles, 4 HR. 25 RBI As for the bridesmaids, left to right: Herpes, Twins, A diamond ring, Syphilis, 3 cats, Herpes

Starter at Buffalo. Cuppa' joe with the Mets: 23G, .222 in under 75 AB. Curly, Blondy, Squinty, Pearly and Blacky will all have their hearts broken by me. No matter how much they beg, I will stay with my beautiful wife. Later

Herpes, Twins, A diamond ring, Syphilis, 3 cats, Herpes. In a more just world, this would be a projection of the last six seasons for Derek Jeter.

Actually, it would be a review of the last six.

211/290/322 in 100 PA Curly: Promoted at work (again), staying in shape, nice condo in the city, desperately lonely and empty inside. Blondy: Nods in knowing recognition when 'Good Christian Bitches' comes on. Squinty: Has a kid and turns her shoe-shopping and fashion blog into a child-rearing blog. Pearly: All about scrapbooking and couponing. while her husband spends weekends hunting, fishing and attending NASCAR events. Blacky: Auditioning for role of 'Icestorm' on new season of American Gladiators

I haven't quite figured out how scrapbooking emerged as a lifestyle choice.

Oh what the hell, I'll bet Lucas May beats Nickeas out and we don't see all that much of him.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 14 2012 09:38 AM Re: You Make the Call: Mike Nickeas

Ron Hodges. That's all I got.

It's Spring Training.

I'd say that but for the fact that our D sucks so badly everywhere else on the field (including C when Thole goes) and the pitching staff needs all the help it can get, it might be nice to have a good-hands guy around if we can have one. The threat to Nickeas is Johnson probably, maybe May fights it out with Rottino/Turner/Hairston, et al for a reserve RH bat.

Black bridesmaid dresses, how Goth. I predict that they spend a lot of time sleeping with men that disgust them while listening to Nick Cave albums.

Edgy MD Mar 14 2012 10:58 AM Re: You Make the Call: Mike Nickeas

Really? Where do I score some of that action?

Vic Sage Mar 14 2012 12:31 PM Re: You Make the Call: Mike Nickeas

didn't i write a play about those girls a while back? and Nickeas? well, nobody is going to write a play about him, that's for sure. I think he'll start the season as Thole's caddy, and get released at some point, after going 0-20.

It'd be easier if they just bought dildos. Using coupons.

I'm hoping that Hudgens can make Nickeas into at least a major league backup catcher's worth of an offensive player... and I'm hoping to see if this small sample size has any validity when given a bigger sample size: Mike Nickeas Team Record in Starts: 10-5 http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... &year=2011
