Yeah - that's an old one. Goes way back to the Alex Reyes days.
Reyes wouldn't do anything but ignore coaching and get lit up - would still get a spot in the starting 5. Thompson would go out there and pitch to his defense, get outs and just otherwise be a good soldier....and ride the Memphis shuttle. So I said "Man, the Cardinals treat this dude like Butters at the NAMBLA convention..." And thus a nickname was born. I forget that it's pretty much a nickname that about 25 people actually understand. I just use it as a matter of course. When that dude retires at 85 years old after spending 5 decades on the mic, he'll still be Butters to me. Mostly because "Lesbian Volleyball Coach with Downs" takes too long to type. |
