Oh I was so close! GARNER ANNOUNCES OPENING DAY LINEUP: 2B: Craig Biggio CF Chris "The Vol" Burke 1B Lance "Big Puma" Berkman LF Carlos "El Caballo" Lee 3B Morgan "The Thinker" Ensberg RF (Luke Scott or Richard Hidalgo or Jason Lane) SS Adam "The Glove" Everett C Brad "The Brain" Ausmus RHP Roy "Dixie" Oswalt http://blogs.chron.com/baseballblog/
Biggio's name speaks for it itself, but 3 RFers and not one nickname? Lazy effort. Could have said Luke "The Force" Scott or something to that obvious effect. Even plain ol' Doggy for Richard Hidalgo. I guess adding in Jason Lane makes any position look bland and boring
Ahhh, the Comicle. Houston's Leading Information Source, indeed. Garner has an idea of what he wants his Opening Day lineup to look like, but as of Wednesday, he wasn't committing to anything except for two spots in the order. "The only thing cut in stone is Lance is going to hit third and Carlos is going to hit fourth," Garner said. http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/...d=1810645&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou
