1. And he has a teammate nicknamed

A-Rod. Very phallic team...

[maveric]

2. Thats what he calls it.

BTW Randy Johnson is a freeper and a fundie. Have fun in NYC pal.

7. He LOOKS and ACTS like a freeper and a fundie. 'Nuff said.

3. I believe today's tabloid cover called him "The Jerk".

Not sure if it was the News or the Post. Big picture of a hand in front of a camera, headline: The Jerk, and smaller print something about Randy.

4. We used to call him the Big Eunuch.

When he was with Seattle, and they were playing the Indians.

I think the Yankees made a big mistake. He has a hell of a fastball, but the Indians had some great fastball hitters in Manny, Thome, etc.
They used to eat him alive.

He's also the ugliest person in the major leagues.

8. Hmm...

According to ESPN, Jim Thome is 1-4 versus Randy with 2 strikeouts,
Manny is 4-19 with 6 strikouts, Carlos Baerga was 12-37, Roberto Alomar is 8-40 and I can't find the numbers on Albert Belle.

5. Oh, and to answer your question

Yes, that's been his nickname as long as I can recall. At one point, he was the tallest major leaguer ever, hence the "big" unit.

6. Yep been that way as long as I remember
