And Mobile of course chooses this game to rest him,, after he was batting 3rd all week. Could have let him DH at least!

The Mobile team is moving to the Huntsville area (Madison) year after next, and today they released the supposed Top 10 fan-suggested team names, and they're all "cutesy" and terrible. Examples are Army Ants, Comet Jockeys, and GloWorms. The rest are just as bad. Hopefully whoever chooses the real name will come to their senses.

My son goes to every baseball game, regardless of level, he can go to. He has hats with some of the dumbest team names I have ever heard. They seem to love doing that.

Comet Jockeys is my favorite bad one. Someone was seriously asleep at the wheel to let that one into the running.

Phase 1: Take offensive racial slur for middle easterners
Phase 2: Change 2 letters
Phase 3: New team name!

Stupid minor league team names are the best.

Montgomery Biscuits is my current favorite.

I like the Albuquerque Isotopes.

Stupid minor league team names are stupid and suck. But RocketDawg can pretty much count on the new Huntsville team name being stupid.

Only people allowed on my lawn are the landscaping company employees.

That's actually pretty good.

Unique names for minor league teams may make sense though. The Huntsville Stars started out with Oakland, then switched to Milwaukee, and didn't have to change names. The Mississippi Braves don't have that option, but I still like Braves as a team name a lot more than Trash Pandas (that's one of the suggestions ... supposedly what some people call a racoon, but I've never heard one called that. I think the "fan names" suggestions are fake).

Other names mentioned that had a lot of fan support were Rockets and Missiles, both with over 150 entries each. So they are saying that Trash Pandas had more to submit that name? I don't think so.

I'm afraid you're right. It seems the owner or publicity guy likes stupid names.
