BASEBALL: Clearly, Someone Slept Through Heckling 101
The Devil Rays are thinking of a new name: the Tampa Bay Tarpons. As MB puts it, "Do I have to spell it out for them?" Comments
Tampa Bay Stingrays Posted by: Phil V. at January 22, 2006 2:07 AMI guess that "Condors" would be out for a similar reason. Posted by: David Gerstman at January 22, 2006 8:36 AMI guess that "Condors" would be out for a similar reason. I think Southern Cal has an option on Condors -- something about brand synergy. Posted by: capitano at January 22, 2006 12:28 PMFor those of you who don't get the joke, it would be "tampa bay tampons." Posted by: steve at January 22, 2006 12:33 PMThanks, Steve. Posted by: seamus at January 22, 2006 12:46 PMIs Benson of Julio and Maine just swapping kind of crappy pitchers around? Get some bleacher seats at Shea this year and bring your glove 'cause both those guys give up LOTS of dingers. Posted by: jim at January 22, 2006 1:04 PMBut clearly a name change is all the team needs to win a pennant! Posted by: Hei Lun Chan at January 22, 2006 4:37 PMWhen the first word in the team's name is TAmpa, it would be nearly impossible to NOT say Tampons. Call it the tongue-twister effect... Posted by: Mr Furious at January 23, 2006 11:18 AMThen instead of calling them the Rays you could call them the Ra..... No I have to stop. Posted by: ICallMasICM at January 23, 2006 11:28 AMThe name change should help Kazimir's change-up. He'll really be pulling the string... Posted by: seamus at January 23, 2006 12:03 PMto me this just further validates my theory that all company/team logos, names and slogans should be tested with middle school boys. if they can't find something wrong with it, you're good to go!
