griffin128 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I was reading this article on how the Expos may actually end up in Vegas (my personal choice)http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb...s_mlb&fext=.jspand I was thinking that would open the team name up to some more interesting options. I mean in Washington I would guarantee it would either be Nationals or Senators III. But Vegas makes for some interesting choices, my favorites being possibly the Las Vegas Scorpions, or maybe the Las Vegas Jacks although I bet it wouldn't be gambling related, HA I bet!

habsfannova Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 If the Expos move to Vegas the Pete Rose should be reinstated to throw out the first pitch. I agree. The game should be against Florida.Then, a single sniper could get Rose, Selig, AND Loria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sj32 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Unfortunately, keeping them in Montreal would be more in keeping with the Vegas Department of Tourism's latest campaign - "What happens here stays here". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfab Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 To the likely annoyance of Brian In Boston, I've chimed in on this on his previous thread on this topic. I've even written one of the principals of the ownership group with my suggestion: Las Vegas Aces!! Team colors, red, black & white. "Double down" the line & slide into 2nd, Baby!! The DC bid, which I wouldn't mind seeing,Presidential Opening Day 1st Pitches & all, is dead in the water. The Las Vegas group has what MLB truly wants & loves: MASSIVE $$! IF, and it's a big one, the Las Vegas casinos agree to take baseball betting off their sports books, it could happen... LAS VEGAS ACES NL WEST, oh YES!! Bet on it, gang! "The Amazing Fabwell...

CZzyzx41 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 If they end up in Las Vegas and Tampa Bay relocates to Wahsington, I'd love to see the Majors move back to 4-divisions but keep the wild card:NL WESTArizona DiamondbacksColorado RockiesHouston AstrosLas Vegas AcesLos Angeles DodgersSan Diego PadresSan Francisco GiantsNL EASTAtlanta BravesChicago CubsCincinnati RedsFlorida MarlinsNew York MetsPhiladelphia PhilliesPittsburgh PiratesSt. Louis CardinalsAL WESTAnaheim AngelsChicago White SoxKansas City RoyalsMinnesota TwinsOakland AthleticsSeattle MarinersTexas RangersAL EASTBaltimore OriolesBoston Red SoxCleveland IndiansDetroit TigersMilwaukee BrewersNew York YankeesToronto Blue JaysWashington SenatorsDivision winners are automatically in with home field advantage. NExt two records in the league gets the next two spots. Best overall record gets home field throughout. I think this would work even if the Devil Rays stay in Tampa Bay. IF the Expos stay on the east coast I think we could just move the Reds to the West. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

griffin128 Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Trust me, there's absolutely no way that the Expos will end up in Vegas. I completely disagree. Washington's not gonna happen with all the legal things, portland, yeah right, Northern VA, no. Vegas does have huge cash, an actual ownership group and tons of land to build the stadium. Plus in the article they talk about how even though you'd be able to bet on other games, Vegas sportsbooks don't allow betting on vegas teams. And actually i put this thread here to try to get people to come up with designs for a Vegas team that don't use anything gambling related. Sorry no Aces, or Blackjacks, or Card Sharks. if MLB puts the team there I bet they'll find a name that is the furthest thing from gambling you can get.

Newmaniac Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 As a regular Vegas traveller, I would suggest the following names (lots of inside jokes for Vegas veterans):Las Vegas Loose SlotsLas Vegas All-You-Can-EatsLas Vegas Crazy Horse TwosLas Vegas Yard-Long MargaritasLas Vegas House (because the House always wins!)Las Vegas Disobedient White TigersLas Vegas Zero CulturesLas Vegas Swivelling HeadsLas Vegas Cocktails, CocktailsLas Vegas All-Nude RevueLas Vegas Sidewalk EscalatorsLas Vegas All FakesJust some suggestions!
