I guess changes can't be afoot for a real devil ray. Changes afin?
One suggestion is that the team become the Tampa Bay Tarpons but that's one typo from a really bad name for a team that could be in last place.
The story also details other changes for the Devil Rays. They want to replace free agent shortstop Alex Gonzalez with free agent shortstop Alex Gonzalez. That's if Julio Lugo gets traded and Kazuo Matsui isn't acquired, but that would be far less humorous.
God forbid somebody has "Devil" in their name. :P Thank goodness for the NJ Devils. Now if only they could get Miroslav Satan on their team, all would be right in the world. ;D
I think this article is misinformed: according to my source, when the Rays said they were going to change their name, they meant to "The Los Angeles Devil Rays of Anaheim."
Sorry, had to be said.
Just as long as it doesn't have the word "Dogs" or "Dawgs" or some variation in the name, it will be fine. Ladies and gentleman, your 2006 Tampa Bay Thunder Dogs!
This is obviously the most comments about the Devil Rays that have ever appeared on Baseball Toaster if you include the "brief" Baez trade discussion on DT.
