What shall we call Byrnes?
There's an epidemic raging in our threads - an epidemic of competing nick-names for Eric Byrnes. In the tradition of benevolent dictatorship that has made the Snakepit great, it is time for the not-quite-sovereign people to speak.
Since I'm here, I'll start : "Hacksie." It maintains a connection to the rather lame, but at least familiar, "Byrnsie" and references his most salient characteristic - the fanatical, single-minded determination to swing mightily at every pitch thrown his way. Sometimes they're whacked for doubles, sometimes they go sailing past into the catcher's mitt, but whatever happens he can always proudly claim that he took a hack. (Called strikes are for pitchers!)
