Logan Morrison needs a new nickname

Logan Morrison is a talented member of the Marlins and might very well be a key player as the team enters a new ballpark and a new identity.

But while speaking of identities, he needs a nickname.
Why? you ask.

Because look at how his recent home run highlight was listed on MLB.com.

LO MO???

What kind of crap nickname is that?
Seriously.

How lazy do we have to be to keep assigning garbage nicknames to players?

How about a good old fashioned alliteration name.

"Mallet" Morrison.

The Mallet Mashes It!

Or a play on his first name?

"Long Gone Morrison!"

Or there was that time he was attacked by a Praying Mantis.

He can be called "The Mantis!"

We need SOMETHING!

We need to end the era of first sound of the first name and first sound of the last name as a nickname.

I am sure he might not want to be associated with a Praying Mantis but it's a start!

Please.

As I said before... we need to work on our nicknames.

In the latest Sully Baseball video, I take a look at the state of today's baseball nicknames. It isn't pretty and we can do better.

VIVA THE LOBSTER!!!!! VARITEK IS BACK!

THE CAPTAIN IS STAYING!!!!

Jason Varitek realized that if he can't get $10 million a year, he might as well stay for a potential World Series contender where he has played his whole big league career, is worshipped as a hero by the fans, is the captain in the clubhouse and won't have to learn a whole new pitching staff... and still earn millions of dollars a year in the worst economy since the Depression.

(Hey Boras, nice job having him reject arbitration.)

So now that Varitek is back in a Red Sox uniform, let's do what we can to adopt a new nickname for Varitek.

'Tek is boring.
He should be the LOBSTER!

I covered this already, but I am going to make it my mission to have Varitek be dubbed THE LOBSTER by Red Sox fans everywhere.

Good to have you back Lobstah!

Now handle that pitching staff and let's dip the rest of the division in buttah!
