MilSox Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I don't care what the official name is. If this happens, I'm calling them the Ex-Rays until they sh-t or get off the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 In the spirit of NBA Jam, the team name can just be the sound of the person yelling as if they stubbed their toe. Joe Buck will finally be able to show true emotion. "Tonight's matchup is between the New York Yankees and AAAHH!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (Can’t believe this hasn’t been said yet) The Tampa Bay Rays of Montreal as long as MLB continues to potentially allow stupid namings this joke will never die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I would somewhat understand this if the Rays had a messy stadium situation, which they do. BUT this whole idea hinges on them AND Montreal getting new stadiums. No comprende. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THRILLHO Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 If a team becomes a timeshare they lose all the identity charm that teams have with the cities they “represent?” So calling them (city) (team name) doesn’t make much sense. A split identity team really becomes more associated with the owner which creates the Frankenstein. So how about they hire Brandoise to design a logo for The Sternbergers. It can basically be a smiling cheeseburger because isn’t that the work product they routinely put out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch B Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Wow, this idea has success written all over it. I kinda like the Snowbirds or perhaps the Montreal Floridians or Can-Am Floridians.

lahaye7 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 consolidate the Marlins and Rays and move them to one of the potential expansion cities, call them the Devil Fish. Sell Marlins Park to the U and retrofit it for football (it's the old Orange Bowl site) I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t an average attendance of 42,000 for a series of meaningless Spring Training exhibition games a pretty good indication of interest? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
