Name that team

[M2d]

With DC rejecting the Expos, the franchise if up for grabs. LV is in the running, supposedly, so we should start on the efforts to name the team. They could keep "Expos", but that wouldn't make any sense. Nationals is the one that DC would have gone with, but that, again, sounds stupid. Area 51's is already taken. How about "Shanias" or "Comp Ho's" or "Non-Whores"? "Melanoma's"? "Free Beer's"?
Feel free to chime in with your own ideas

I'd think they'd have a hard time getting a pro team in Vegas with the sportsbooks being right there.

prob The Road Runners or something stupid like that.

How about "The Las Vegas Legitimate Businessmen" or "The Corleones"

Las Vegas I got black action's

Seriously, I can't think of any Vegas-related name that isn't corny. See "Arizona Diamondbacks".

Why not do what teams did 100 years ago, and just pick a color? The "Reds" is taken, and "Blues" is a hockey team. But we can find another color.

Wait, we can make it "Vegas" colors! How about:

"Redbirds"
"Greenbirds"
"Blackbirds"

???

I'll vote "greenbirds". /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Las Vegas Spades.

[plaster8]

I don't care what they're called, as long as they FINALLY get a home. This whole thing just pisses me off.

Vegas would be great, though -- I'd have a built-in excuse to go a couple times a year.

wow! i didn't hear this. i'm so psyched. i've been thinking vegas would be a great place to move to except for two basic things it's missing: a nl baseball team and the ocean. looks like i may get one of these, perhaps that earthquake they keep promising will come along and give me a beach? vegas here i come.

oh and i liked the vegas spades. much better than the vegas craps, for sure. or how bout the nevada jacks.

I think it should be a singular name. The Las Vegas Blackjack comes to mind. Actually I like the blackjack idea becase they could have the logo be an overlapping BJ and the marketing possibilities are excellent. They could sell season tickets by saying "You can legally buy a BJ in Las Vegas. Also you can get season tickets for only $300." or "get season tickets, this way when your wife finds $200 for a BJ on your credit card statement you can honsestly claim it's for a baseball game." Surely anyone can come up with better lines than these but I'm sure a good joke exists.
