Pags needs your help: FDM name

So...I'm considering blogging for this FireDougMelvin thing, because apparently my week isn't filled up enough with my quota of irrelevant bullshit. In any case, I would like my blogging name to have some meaning beyond what my brewcrewball one does, which was simply decided because I had played a game with my character name "Pags" back in the day, but that one was already claimed on cbssportsline.com, which I discovered before BCB. So...since I was a fan of the BrewCrew, I became PagsBrewCrew. Pretty lame. But that lameness is exactly why I need your help.
So, I would like to have a brand new nickname for picking apart Doug Melvin, because he should be viewed as sucking more than my nickname. This is all assuming my ideas don't suck worse than his. But without further ado (because I'm likely past the minimum word limit now) here are the options.
Deputy Braun (suggested by Fatter than Joey) - Ryan Braun and Doug Melvin had a disagreement earlier this year, at the end of which Melvin said "I'll be glad to have Ryan help if he wants to. I'll give him a badge and he can be my deputy."
I Shot the Sheriff (mine) - FtJ and I were thinking along similar wavelengths here. If Braun is the Deputy, that makes Melvin the Sheriff. And we want the Sheriff to be gone, evoking imagery of the reggae hit "I shot the sheriff" performed by Bob Marley and Eric Clapton, among others
Gord's Melon (suggested by TheJay) - Gord Ash is a potential GM-in-waiting. We don't know how good he'd be in the big seat though. On the plus side, it also suggests a career alternative to Melvin (he should be a pumpkin or watermelon farmer, because he sucks at this baseball thing)

A couple of things..
FDM is irreverent bullshit, not irrelevant bullshit — but bullshit nonetheless.
Another name idea.
Gordon Ashole
I really like Deputy Braun. People like Ryan Braun.

Dude...
Considering your blog was last updated in… November of last year with an election post, I think you should not talk smack and let them hit their stride

Dude...
2 things…
1.) My blog totally sucks.
2.) I am part of the FDM effort, therefore, words like “irreverent” and “bullshit” are entirely apt.

oh...it's irrelevant all right
how does it help me start my career? does the salary he makes directly impact me or the economy in my area? no. therefore it’s irrelevant;)

go with something shaving related
considering you want to get rid of Stache… actually, Deputy Braun works in that case.

I like this one....
I wonder if there is something that rhymes with Canuck, that could work?

I do not support firing Doug Melvin.

that's fine.
I’m not sure either if a superior replacement can be found, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have fun picking apart his every move.

I think the "Fire...___"
concept is a way to analyze a manager/ gm’s moves. I loved reading FNY before I thought Ned should be fired.

I've got someone
Who’s going to be writing an Op-Ed piece (if he gets motivated). The idea is to be critical of him and not simply give him a free pass because he’s not Sal Bando and because the Mets collapsed and allowed us into the playoffs.

I don't want him fired either

Zombie Dalton
I’m just thinking how much fun the winter meetings would be with the re-animated Harry Dalton:
“Peter Gammons reporting from baseball’s winter meetings, where today the Brewers’ zombified Harry Dalton lurched around the room, tapping on the empty skulls of Brian Sabean and Jim Hendry before cracking open the head of Theo Epstein and feasting on the goo inside. How will this affect the Red Sox’ chances in 2010?”

"Asked for comment, Zombie Dalton merely repeated:
‘BRAINS!!!!’ approximately fifteen times."

I just want to say
Anytime baseball talk turns into zombie talk, I am a happy man.

I would just like to note
Gord’s Melon was just a foolish play on words and I don’t think he should be promoted. I certainly wasn’t the person who voted for that name. :)
You know me Al.

Gee, I can't imagine who would've voted for such a silly name like that
Uh, there's a half-dead-fat-man eating a dead-fat-man...am I the only one who realized? Oh, okay...

I would say just do something simple.
Like how the guys at FJM did it.

As an homage to Melvin’s previous post?
As an aside, I have to admit, I’m still a gung ho Melvin supporter. Unless we’re going to lure Billy Beane or Theo Epstein….or Kim Ng, I’m happy with Melvin.

That's really what FDM will do, I think
Melvin does a lot of annoying things. One of those things is signing washed-up free agent pitchers and hoping the Milwaukee water takes away 10 years and 3 points of ERA. Another is stocking the bench (and catcher sport) with gritty veterans. Still another is having his own bobblehead night.
FDM probably won’t convince legions of people to turn on Doug Melvin. With any luck, though, it will focus attention on him when his dumb moves turn out to actually be dumb. Like, when Braden Looper sets a record for home runs given up, and then Melvin starts talking about picking up his option, that deserves some light. If he signs Kendall for another year or two in the offseason, that will merit some discussion. If he signs Cameron for another year at something more than $10 million, you better believe that’s a paddlin’…er, going to be discussed.

Right --
DM has really enjoyed a sacred cow status long enough.
