Devil Rays may play name game

The above is a link to today's St. Petersburg Times speculating about a name change. The page has a poll as to vote about what the Rays should do. Pretty good article if you ask me. Below the poll is a link to the Rays blog and you can even suggest a new team name. Who knows, maybe team officials will see your idea and implement it.

I'm assuming President Kennedy's been advised of this.

And speaking of the venerable Gray Lady (the NYT), there was an article on the front page of Sunday's business section all about the new ownership group and managing partners for the franchise. A complete rebranding of the franchise is being considered but none of the principals would commit to its certainty.

it says no team has changed names without moving since the colt .45's but doesn't anyone remember the whole California - Anaheim - L.A. of Anaheim Angels mess the past few years

The article also says the Colts/Astros changed to honor the space program. It neglects to mention the impending litigation by a certain malt beverage producer. :P

Iconic pop culture imagery of my youth:

1) Hulk Hogan bodyslamming Andre the Giant

2) "Sorry Mario, but the princess is in another castle!"

3) Chunk, Sloth, Mikey and Andy, in that order

and, of course

4) Billy Dee Williams for Colt 45: "It Works Everytime"

(I'm really not sure why that sticks out the way it does. I've never once had a sip of Colt 45, nor known someone who has)

I don't think that's quite the same thing.

If nothing else, no team has changed nicknames without moving since the Colt .45s became the Astros.

Then again, they could be just putting up a smoke-screen and pretending to want input from fans on a name...

...because they wouldn't have picked a new name, logo and uniforms already if they were opening this to the public, would they?

TAMPA BAY STINGRAYS

It HAS to be.

PANTONE has offered clues such as a picture of a "stinging Ray" Charles and the assurance that the new name will not be "Rays".

Add to that the fact that the team is installing a "Rays Tank", an aquarium filled with live rays, which should be completed in July.

Strike the words "malt beverage producer" and replace them with "firearms manufacturer," and you've got it correct.
