For Ryan Out Loud, Baby Phat & Lethal Weapon 6 Are Good, Too

The final Ryan Howard nickname poll was supposed to be today. But you guys kept posting suggestions too good to ignore. Here's your chance to endorse a come-from-behind candidate, and boost it into the finals -- tomorrow, I promise! -- with a chance to win.

But even non-winners might be a little glory, because I'll email a list of lots of favorites to sportswriters and headline writers, who are always looking for another catchy phrase.

Which of these Ryan Howard nicknames belongs in the finals?

    there's been too many good ones: deep 6, ry slamma bamma, and bam-bam are all good, plus some others from before. too hard to pick, we should just see if one sticks...

    You have to vote for "Broad Street Bomber": we want one that ties him to Philly--then he can't leave.

    Frank Thomas is called "The Big Hurt" -- and Philly fans have felt a lot of pain since that 1989 draft debacle.

    But that pain has noticeably subsided since the arrival of "The Big Show" --
    aka Ryan Howard -- for what could
    be a long and successful run!

    How about we call him The Natural and hope that it truly is All Natural!

    Somebody on ESPN calls him The Quiet Storm. I like that one.

    how about "Ryan Howard"? why the heck does he need a nickname? besides, nicknames are much better when they come about organically, not voted from a bunch of lame choices
