What's in a (nick)-name? Come up with one for Astros' Mills

In 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.

I like..

General Mills

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

Haha..

Yeah, waiting for season 2…someday.

And yes, agreed with the cereal.

LOL @ "cereal motif"

If Matsui has a break-out (and/or injury-free) year, he can be Special K. = )

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

I’ll pile onto the General Mills bandwagon

Let's see

Bunny

Catalyst

Full Moon

Hard Ass

Millsy (no -that’s terrible)

Franchise

Chomper

Fat Lindsay (no-he’ll get sued)

The Colonel

Nacho

Bedrock

Bradgelina (yech)

Sheriff

Mills

The Dude

just got done watching The Big Lebowski

ha!

Hey, Mills is almost the right age for the Big Liebowski.

I like "Hard Ass"' and "Nacho"

but I’m partial.

um...

Dr.Millard

Bud Norris' nickname:

per Alyson Footer: “Cudly Budly”….

I think someone other than Mills has the worst nickname.

Baron von Millstein!
General Mills

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

General Mills.

He seems like a good guy to follow. Got your back and serious about winning.

General mills is my favorite

It’s a solid name

When I hear "General"

I think of Bobby Knight.

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)

Milli Vanilli

I Think Milli Vanilli has a ton of nickname has a ton of potential.
