That was why supported the ouster or demotion of the former ninth [full] planet in the Solar System--because of the name.

What sort of people would use such names, anyway?

I read a couple months ago the Devil Rays were looking at this. They’ve been a laughingstock for so long they stated they’re willing to try anything that might change their luck. Somehow I doubt this is gonna do it.

As unimpressive as the previous three versions of the uniform have been, the new ones are, IMHO, hardly an improvement. There are enough blue uniforms in the majors, for crying out loud.

Worst unis in the bigs? Colorado Rockies, whose logo looks like was sketched on a napkin by one of the owners and that he threatened to pull his millions from the ownership group if it wasn't used. Black, purple, and silver? Dull, dull, dull.

Second worst: Toronto Blue Jays, who threw away one of the coolest, most distinctive-looking uniforms in favor of a cheesy black, silver and blue logo pasted on white and gray suits with no stripes or piping. B-O-R-I-N-G.

I remember a while back that some idiots got all riled up about the name of the New Jersey Devils. Of course, they either didn’t know or didn’t care that the name had nothing to do with anything satanic; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Devil

It was inevitable in this PC world that the word "Devil" wouldn't last in the team name.

After all, how can there be a Devil if there's no God? And if there's no God, how can there be a Devil?

Well, I hope you get my drift.....I sure as Hell don't.....oops!
