(AP Photo)Carl Crawford needs a better name. In your best Hub, Carl is too long and too soft to chant and Crawford doesn't work because the "-fid" is awkward. His teammates refer to him as CC but if you start going CCCCCCCCCCC, how do you know when you've got an appropriate number of C's? You can hear it on the broadcast: try as they might, the Fenway crowd just can't figure a way to cheer him on.
If you could teach everyone to say Carl with an R, then you could do "Carl Crawford" to the "Let's go, Red Sox" chant but that seems very formal. I personally would nominate "CDC"; it's forceful and fits into "Beat L.A." so nobody would have to learn anything.
If the man keeps coming up big when the team needs him the most, he definitely needs something more than just "Woooo!"
