MLB Team Lame Names
jeffery mitchell
Here are some names to apply to baseball teams when they
are striking out more than usual. Considering that they are
all striking right now, I think these currently apply to all
of the teams. The Texas No Braingers should be winning
the World Series right now!
DISCLAIMER: I have lived near many cities in my days
(Denver, Dallas, New Orleans, New York City, and
now San Francisco), so I am just guessing on the
lame names for the other cities...
