We Need A New Name, You Can Help

Published by Toronto Mike on June 13, 2007 @ 12:06 in Raging Storm

baseballNow that I'm managing my slo-pitch team and in full control, it's time to right a wrong. I wrote about this wrong over a year ago and it continues to haunt me. Our nickname was Hooray For Everything and before the 2004 season it was changed to Raging Storm, a very unfunny, uncool and non-creative name for our slo-pitch team. An evil force named Stella spear-headed this decision and somehow got to then captain Andge. The rest is sad and ugly history.

We'll finish this season as Raging Storm, but I want a new nickname for the 2008 season. I'm also envisioning slick new black uniforms, but first we need to choose a new name.

Please suggest new nicknames in the comments of this entry. I'll start with the first few possibilities.

  • Crazy Diamonds
  • Ball and Biscuit
  • Triple Trouble
  • Cubically Contained
  • More Distortion
  • Teenage Angst

The TPS Reports might work...

I have a few suggestions

The Boonie Boners
Balls Deep
Lets Go Patio
Samuel and his White Cronies

I like the last one best!

You mean Alex and his White Cronies.

The Boonie Boners has a nice ring to it...

I'm thinking the....

Degrassi Jr's
or maybe

School's Out

Dude, I love where you're going with this. Patino and I practically duked it out over Shane. I should blog about that...

How about:
- The Degrassi Jr. High's
- The Joey Jerimiah's
- The Zit Remedy

I vote for The Zit Remedy!!!!

I always liked the Shelbyville Shelbyvillains from the Simpsons. But the Cleveland Steamers would also be funny.

Stink My Butts!

Toronto Mike
June 13, 2007 / 14:07

I love it. My 3 favourite right now are:

1. Stink My Butts
2. The Zit Remedy
3. Teenage Angst

Mike Kic
June 13, 2007 / 14:55

How about the:

Ethnic Diverse
or
Patino and the Latinos

Jordy

I'm not entirely sure we're ethnically diverse enough to call ourselve "ethnic diverse"

however, i do like patino and the latinos

Patino and the Latinos...I LOVE it!
Though the Stink My Butts was pretty good.

Toronto Mike
June 13, 2007 / 16:41

Hey Patino, should I blog about our Degrassi fight?

Don't you think a Degrassi-themed nick name is appropriate?

I vote for:

The Baseball Team

Toronto Mike
June 13, 2007 / 21:11

I like it. Sort of like The Beer Store. Our name is what we are.

Alex
June 14, 2007 / 09:58

How about the Degrassi Fighters or Spike and her CIBC lover ;)

Toronto Mike
June 14, 2007 / 10:02

But dude, are you cool with me telling the story here? Screw it, I'm gonna tell it anyway.

Alex
June 14, 2007 / 10:32

I'm going to have it published.

Toronto Mike
June 14, 2007 / 10:43

You should write this entry. In fact, you should drop the deets from that wonderful night in the comments of this entry.

p.s. I'm sold on The Zit Remedy. I just have to sell the others.

Alex
June 14, 2007 / 11:46

You're the articulate one I'll leave the writing to you. I can draw pictures if needed.

Throw some yellow stripes on the uni's and some decent yellow stirrups and call yourselves The Killer Bees.

Toronto Mike
June 15, 2007 / 08:43

And we could wear masks circa 1987 so the opposition couldn't tell which bee was which.

Of course, in Toronto, it would make more sense to call us the Wasps.

How about Captain Strikeout and the Foul Balls? ;-)

Toronto Mike
June 19, 2007 / 11:05

Another good name I thought of last night: Whatever

Set up some voting buttons or something and let's do this schtuff!!

alexi chabane
June 20, 2007 / 13:50

Bayside Tigers!

Patino
June 21, 2007 / 15:48

How about the Splintered Bats!

Toronto Mike
June 21, 2007 / 15:52

We'll vote soon - I think Patino and the Latinos should be disqualified for being too politically incorrect. We don't want Miller banning us from city tournaments...

June 24, 2007 / 13:08

I LOVE FOUL BALLS!

Engell
June 26, 2007 / 15:35

Since we're dragging out this whole Degrassi Debate, I have a suggestion along those lines. Let's call our team "Where'd Boon go?" Or "Did Boon leave?"

Otherwise:

Mr.T...Ball
The Baseball Team
Top Gun (and we'll all take cheesy names like Goose and Ice Man!)
Menudo
RobArts Anti-Rage
Now I'm Just Being Silly...

Toronto Mike
June 26, 2007 / 15:38

Or, we could be ironic..

- Sedated
- Comfortably Numb
- Apathetic
- Whatever
