Looks like the Phillies rotation is going to be “R2C2″ whether we like it or not
Dec 23, 2010, 12:00 PM EDT
I linked the Stan Hochman column in which he solicited ideas for nicknames for the Phillies’ rotation the other day (recall that he wanted it to be “Un-Four-gettables”). Well, the mob has spoken and Stan delivers the news:
The winner, by a squeaky margin, was R2C2, a spinoff of the smart-aleck “Star Wars” robot. Good luck trying to get copyright clearance on that one. Finishing second was Four Aces, with the voters equally divided between poker references and a tribute to the Philadelphia music group starring Al Alberts. (Biggest hit: “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.”)

I like it. Or 3 1/2 Men…
Cole deserves more props then he gets, but its still fun to make fun of him.

Three men and a guy who carries his dog in a backpack? Or is that too unwieldy?

Just keep Blanton so they can call themselves “Fat Joe and the Terror Squad”. Problem solved

Why not Charlie’s Angels? Better than R2C2.
Atleast we dont have to deal with H2O anymore…

I was rooting for Roys and the boys, well as much as i would root for a bad nickname any way.
