J.R.R. Conlin

Stumbled upon a Philly Daily News column by Bill Conlin regarding Ryan Howard's contract negotiations:

FOR 2 YEARS NOW, the Rynomiter has blown them all away.

I googled "Rynomiter" and came up with 3 entries, all of them to this article. No one calls him Rynomiter. That's not his nickname. I don't even think I know how to pronounce that.

It gets zanier.

After perhaps the greatest first full power season of any player in history, Ryan Howard last winter butted heads with the service-time ogre guarding a shallow moat around the pastime's only citadel of control over its finances.

What? An ogre? A moat? A citadel??? I really wish he would keep calling him Ryanimotor... err Ryanomitor... errr Rynoceros... errr Rynomiter. Yes. Rynomiter. I think this could really catch on.
