Brewers as Muppets?

[hammytime]

So, as I'm watching the game the other night (the one when Scooter had a great game), I realize that, every time I hear "Scooter", I start picturing the Muppets. Then, after the game, I ask hubby, "So, if we have a Scooter now, who on the team is Kermit?" His response, "Shouldn't you be asking who's Dr. Teeth, since Scooter was their manager?"

 

So I put the expanded question to you--Who on the team would be the various Muppet characters?

[PrinceEatMeat]

You know what's funny? Scooter gave himself that nickname because he was a fan of the Muppets and that was his favorite character. http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=25626451&topic_id=8879232&c_id=mlb

I dunno why but Carlos Gomez seems like a perfect Kermit to me.

[TooLiveBrew]

Maybe Kermit should be Taylor "It's Not Easy Bein'" Green...

 

... I'll show myself out

[rwa12]

I dunno, but Carlos Gomez seems like he'd be Gonzo

[hammytime]

I kind of agree with rwa12--GoGo as Gonzo, but I'm not quite sure why.

Yuni as Rizzo the Rat. Unnecessary and annoying.

Statler and Waldorf would be the collective mind of Brewerfan.net. (this is NOT supposed to be a link, so don't click it.)

 

Roenicke would be the Swedish Chef, since so many people can't seem to understand him.

Even though Wendy isn't part of the picture anymore, could she be Miss Piggy?

[logan82]

I would think of Gomez as Animal since he just can't seem to sit still.

Funny, Joe Block was interviewing Michael Wacha on pregame last night and mentioned The Muppets. Asked Wacha if anyone does the Fozzy "wocka" (spelling?) to him and also mentioned Scooter Gennett. Thought of this thread right away.

[hammytime]

I had a similar thought about Wacha, but, since he's on the "wrong" team, he can't be Fozzy.

[bork]

Rickie Weeks as Beaker because he's always getting hurt?

[pitchleague]

I suppose Gord Ash would have to be Dr. Bunson Honeydew.

Lucroy comes across like Rowlf. Forever (and unnecessarily) considered a supporting cast member, highly skilled at a specific art. Low key attitude.

 

 

Weeks = Clifford (some of the time)

Bah! That was Muppet Babies... That doesn't count!

 

ttsather nailed Lucroy and Weeks.

 

Yuni as Rizzo the Rat. Unnecessary and annoying.

Pepe' is far more annoying. Plus he thinks all women (or for Yuni, KC and Milwaukee) love him.

 

Unfortunately, Animal left in FA for Detroit...

 

Fozzy the Bear is down in AAA right now (Tim Dillard).

 

Kermit (at least this year) would have to be Segura. Little guy that just keeps doing his job day after day, with all the calamity and chaos around him.

 

Gomez would be Gonzo: Running like he is shot out of a cannon, hanging off the walls, etc... Although, I haven't seen any chickens around the clubhouse.

 

More so last year, Axford reminds me of Crazy Harry. Ax lost a little of his craziness this year.

 

And of course, any Peanut Vendor: Lew Zealand (good thing they don't sell fish).
