	1. We as a board need to think of a nickname for Jay Bruce. If hes going to be the big dog in town when he gets here, he needs a good nickname to go with him. 2. Any suggestions for a new Avatar? To celebrate interleague play, im going to switch from all of the gorgeous ladies to something new. I have a very powerful friend that im trying to convince into being a Reds fan, but if you have other ideas im all ears. And while im at it, heres a shameless plug for my glog. Im going to try and post something every day, so any constructive feedback, and or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Im still young so im aspiring to be a sports writer so heres my first go at it.

	i think we'll probably end up calling Jay Bruce JB. he has two first names, and i don't know exactly when that started being a cool thing, but it really kind of is. whenever somebody is named bruce, me and my brother say bruce-bruce with it when referring to the person. i don't know where my bro got that from, and it's ridiculous, but it's fun to say! now that i think of it, that's going to be my call whenever he hits a HR! think that'd go over well if i were a radio personality?

	It could definatley work, me and my buddy usually nickname everybody. I call Joey Votto "JV", Phillips is "BP", Edwin is "Double E" etc. So JB will probably end up being it.

	Always lookin' for your glog comments so I'll keep an eye out for your new phrase. I wouldn't know what to say but I"m sure you'll come up with something. I call Jay Bruce the Juice or just Juice. It's the best way I can combine his two first names and make it sound cool. I know this has been a nick name for others but not on the Reds at least, I don't think.

	I like it, Juice sounds good. Lets just hope that people wont think of steroids when they use it.

	Yea I don't think we should be calling an up and coming super star Juice. That raises to many questions and I guarantee Bruce does not want to be a steroid punch line everytime someone says Juice.

	How about "The Bruiser" or just "Bruiser"? It sounds kind of like Bruce and describes the way he tears the cover off the ball.

	I personally like interleague play. It gives us a chance to see some AL teams we normally wouldn't get to, and it's only a few series a year. As for Jay Bruce's nickname? I have a friend named Bruce, and we just call him Goose. I don't know where it came from but it just stuck...
