Mickey Callaway Needs a Nickname

Art Howe was Mr. Clean. Willie Randolph was WWSB. Jerry was Gangsta Jerry. Terry was White Jerry. Callaway has gone too long without a nickname. Already submitted in another thread: "One-and-Done" and "Clueless Callaway." I'll submit "Mickey Fallaway." Because holy smokes, they've been falling away for three months.

I really had high hopes for Mickey, but unless the new GM is one of the current three in-house contenders, and one who initially supported Mickey and still does, I don't think he'll survive the transition.

"Mickey" is a nickname. Perhaps we should just call him "Michael" in an overly formal way to show we're distancing ourselves from him.

For some reason, I haven't yet gotten tired of referencing this thread from 2006: Nickname Methodology

I miss Willpie. Who was s/he, anyway? I don't remember if the moniker was one of youse or a long-lost `pooler.
