Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Who is Johnnypronto?

boobs recently hypothesized that our friend Johnnypronto is actually Homer Bailey stalking this website and (ahem) yanking our chains:

actually, i think pronto is just homer f***ing with us

It led me to wonder whether that could possibly be the case, but then I wondered whether Homer Bailey would buy a shirt like this, never having mentioned his faith, to my knowledge.  I decided that being reticent about one's faith probably would be inconsistent with wearing a shirt like that.

I personally had explored the possibility that Johnnypronto was actually Dusty Baker blogging from the dugout, but then I reconsidered, since he appeared to actually have done more than merely "listen" to the way Homer was pitching.  I give Johnnypronto credit for that.

I then wondered, given his hard-headedness regarding the official definition of what is a "quality start" (6 IP, with less than 3 ER) and his single-minded focus on the topic of Homer Bailey, whether he might be Michael, but then I realized that he did not display the same tendencies with respect to posting inane diaries about his single subject. 

Thoughts of Michael led me to suspect that Johnnypronto was actually NEILYNG in disguise.  I dismissed those thoughts when I realized that he did not tend to use ALL CAPS or references to baby-boomer rock in his posts, nor did he ever ask anyone to "eat a peach" or "build a bridge and get over it."

I then thought, who would want both Daryl Thompson and Homer Bailey demoted to AAA?  Who would want Harang to get an MRI?

Therefore, my working hypothesis is that he is actually Josh Fogg.

Any other theories?

Oh...Forgot one possibility...

Dr. Tim Kremchek. But he wanted Homer to have an MRI. The real Dr. Stick would have mentioned the Injury Stick.

Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

Johnnyp

why do you ask if we have any other theories but the poll only let’s us choose the theories you already mentioned?

Maybe it’s Harang, and he’s been screaming for an MRI for weeks.

That's what "boobs" is for.

(along with messing up the poll results by giving people a choice everyone picks no matter what they really think).

Boobs is (are?) running away with this.

The guy who initially asked the question is definitely J-pronto.

Yes.

In kind of a “whoever dealt it smelt it” kind of way.

If it is John Fay

Then he was probably trying to use the anonymity of the intertubes to declare his love for barely legal, hardcore erotica. He would no longer be Fay, he would be Johnny Porno!

Then he spelled it wrong.

I'm amending my earlier answer

Jonnypronto is clearly John Galt.

He's doing it. He's eating a tire!
