Apparently being called the “Mexicutioner” in these troubled times is not a good thing.  Right-handed relief pitcher, Joakim Soria, made a public plea on Twitter to change his nickname.

“how about if we change my nickname to something positive? in support to mexico to stop all the violence !!!”

In case you’ve been on Mars over the past few years, several drug/gang-related executions have made the news from Mexico, including a recent discovery of five men that were killed execution-style in the northern state of Zacatecas (via the Associated Press).

While no nickname sticks out, I like how Pablo Sandoval (and his fans) turned to the latest cartoon movieto get a name:  Kung Fu Panda.  So with that, I suggest “Megamind”.   Alright…  alright… “Metroman”…  boo!  What’s your suggestion?
