Hidalgo: Dalgy or Doggy?

[Blatz]

I remember there were discussions about this last year in multiple threads, but I don't remember a poll so here it is.


I think it's Dalgy. Hi-dalg(y)-o

[Austin70]

IMHO, I say Doggy, but I have been known to be wrong a time or two.

[RocketMan Tex]

It's Doggy. Milo wouldn't be able to get "Dalgy" out of his mouth.

[rrj_gamz]

It's Dalgy, short for hiDALGo...

[Groogrux]

Who let the dalgs out?

i have absolutely no stake in the outcome of this decision...but i'm almost rooting for dalgy because i love your reaction to it!!! :D

[Summer Song Giver]

It's Dalgy:mad:




















:D

[Nick]

Who cares?

And, its Doggy... derived from Dalgy.

Did anybody argue when they converted Francis into Franchise? Its a nickname people... it can be whatever it wants to be... and it doesn't have to translate perfectly from the root of their last name.

And, just to pose a question... what's a dalgy?

Its Doggie... but the only one who refers to him as that is Milo, so once again... who cares?

dawgie. Like rezdawg

It didn't bother me except that the person I first saw call him Dalgy is an ass-clown in other forums. :D (just kidding!)

Dale Robertson has it as "Doggy".

Although, Robertson has never been accused of having his facts straight .................:rolleyes:

[codell]

Joseph Duarte has it as "Doggy" also:

Astros summary

A bone for Doggy ?

Outfielder Richard Hidalgo is known as "Doggy " in the Astros' clubhouse. But they might be calling him something else by this afternoon - like "All-Star."

With second baseman Craig Biggio finishing second in fan voting, Hidalgo is expected to be named the Astros' lone representative for Tuesday's All-Star Game at Atlanta's Turner Field.

Hidalgo is hitting .292 with a team-high 23 home runs and 60 RBIs. The only thing that might keep him from getting invited is the glut of NL outfielders having outstanding seasons. If Hidalgo didn't make it, Jeff Bagwell (.290, 22 homers, 60 RBIs) would be Houston's likely invitee.

"I think it's very special for guys to go to the game and have an opportunity to go," said Biggio, who finished second to San Francisco's Jeff Kent among National League second basemen. "He (Hidalgo ) is leading our team in a lot of categories. And especially how he's come back from injuries last year is a nice story."

Hidalgo missed two months in 1998 after separating his right shoulder and missed the final two months of last season after undergoing surgery to correct a congenital condition with his left knee.

----------------

I did a search of the Chronicle archives, and nothing came up for "Dalgy", but a whole bunch came up for "Doggy". Robertson, Jose De Jesus Ortiz, Neil Holfeld and Joseph Duarte all have written articles with "Doggy" in them.

i noticed that earlier when i checked the Direct TV guide. For whatever reason the Stars hockey game is airing. On the alternate channel is just a blank screen. I was looking forward to watching them too.

[Puedlfor]

The correct answer is "Reeeeeeeeeeshaaaaaaard".

[Blatz]

I didn't think a poll like this would have received attitude.


Anyway CJ has it as Dalgy. (http://www.cjbaseball.com/mates.htm) :)

Edit - Just saw the link was already posted.

[mateo]

Its Bidge - e - o, dammit!!!!

[fya]

Doggy

[rockets-#1]

It's Doggy, it's gotta be. I'm in agreement with what Nick said. It's one of the reasons they always play dog songs to go along with him during the game. Either way, his nickname is good and he kicks ass.

[giddyup]

It depends on whether or not he is having a good year...

[ROXRAN]

I say Doggy,...when I see "Dalgy",...I think of Van Chancellor trying to say "Doggy"...

[Miguel]

Like Nikko always says, "Grandaddy, it doesn't get any better than Doggy's nick name. And blackberry cobbler. And ice cream.

[Major]

Well, for those of you who weren't at the game... after his HR, they had a little animation for Hidalgo, and it ended with:

Beware of the Dalg!

[A-Train]

well, they both suck...

I guess it is Dalgy.:)

[Groogrux]

I guess I was wrong. Stupid nickname anyway.

I can't wait to see KoKo. Now that's a nickname!!!

Damn you Astros!!! Last night, they had both. First they put up Beware of the Dog! then it went through a bunch of animated stuff then said Beware of the Dalg!

Looks like we'll never get the correct answer.

[rrj_gamz]

I still think its Dalgy, but Berman said it was Doggy...

He calls a good game, but I wish the Stros' would do better...

[Summer Song Giver]

It's quite simple.....

It's Doggy to the uneducated run of the mill trailer park fan and Dalgy to the intelligent well to do fan :D

[sums41]

Neither, I'm tired of drunken guys barking at the stros game everytime Hidalgo comes to bat, someone needs to tell this dudes that it's totally not cool to bark, it's just not going to be me cuz i don't want to get my ass kicked by a 300 pound barking dude.
