PrintIn the game thread today, a small discussion was brewing about nicknames and Brad Mills. Apparently, he brought the moniker 'Millsy' with him from Boston. Since this sounds suspiciously like the kind of nicknames Milo gives to every player, let's try to think up something creative.
So far, we have:
General Mills
Millsmeister
Baron von Millstein
The Sarge
Milli Vanilli...scratch that...that one is terrible
Use this thread to come up with more nicknames and we'll put up a poll with all of them during tomorrow's game thread.

first of all
badass picture. KP is the man.
second, I agree on General Mills….If we could only get Coco Crisp, then we’d have the whole cereal motif down pat

very good!
can we just call Pedro Feliz “Happy Pete”….not really a nickname, it would just be silly to call him the english equivalent of his name

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Bud Norris' nickname:
per Alyson Footer: “Cudly Budly”….
I think someone other than Mills has the worst nickname.

General Mills
It seems I remember a member of the press calling him that too. My second choice has to be Baron von Millstein.

let's just hope
It doesn’t turn into “BM” before the season is over (not that I’m skeptical of his performance, it’s just never a bad time for toilet humor)
