A lack of name creativity

Disappointing. Very disappointing, fellas.

One of the best parts of preseason is getting to see the new, creative team names. This year, frankly, they're boring and plain. And the same.


Except for Shea's awesome "DUIs & MRIs," I really don't see one team name that I love. For once, Shea doesn't have some stupid "100 years Cubs World Series" name. And he brought the hammer down for creativity.

Bob, for the love of God, three different names already? Just go back to Cole Miners. We know that's what you'll be by Week 5.

Hal, why stick with the same team name that saw you choke in the playoffs last season? Same with you, Adam.

Dave, really? The only thrill we get from your team is seeing a new name each year - which have usually been pretty good. Why are you going with last year's?

Mike - not bad, not bad. Certainly better than last year's disgraceful Manager of the Year.

Ken, already looking ahead to football season? We wish you'd be more like Rex...

Joe, Jack, and Chris - I've come to expect the same thing from you guys, so I can't bash. At least it's consistent. Although Chris' annual week-to-week switcharoo between Bombers and Bums has become Boring.

Props to Ricky, for at least switching it up from Fireballs. Not like Crime Dog is original though.

Let's go, people!
