If you carry a solid nickname you just might have a better baseball career.
Given this theory, we have decided to annoint the Detroit Tigers fill in starter Armando Galarraga with a good one!
Since the similar named former power hitting Andres Galarraga was known best through out his illustrious career as “The Big Cat”
WaiverSharks has decided to dub Armando Galarraga with the nickname:
GATO GRANDE !
We hope it catches on with the Comerica Park announcer. Imagine an intro in sort of a “Let’s get ready to rumble” fashion:
“Hailing from parts unknown (actually he’s Venezuelan – but work with us.)
And starting on the hill today for your Detroit Tigers *dramatic pause for effect*
Armandoooo… Gaaato Graaaaande!!!…Galarragaaaaaa!!!
(Insert robust crowd cheer here!)
NOTE: If Galarraga wins his third game this coming week-end against the Angels Dustin Moseley -who has been pretty awful thus far, WaiverSharks will be left with no choice but to enter the unknown pitcher into THE CAGE!
