Minor league baseball rant:

Until not that long ago (mid-80s) minor league baseball teams either copied major league teams or had real organic names that had a legitimate history in that city (i.e. Asheville Tourists, Knoxville Smokies, Jackson Generals).  Then came the suburban Raleigh team the "Carolina Mudcats".  And it was cute and faux-hickish and faux-Southern.  And suddenly minor league baseball became infected with stupid and meaningless knicknames so they can sell a few shirts on the internet.  Chukars, Vibes, Crosscutters, Lake Monsters, Hops, Dust Devils, Hot Rods, RIver Dogs, Wood Ducks, Woodpeckers, Stone Crabs, Fire Frogs, Rumble Ponies, Yard Goats, Rubber Ducks, Flying Squirrels, Shuckers, Jumbo Shrimp, Blue Wahoos, Sod Poodles, Rock Hounds, Iron Pigs, Rail Riders, Stripers, Baby Cakes, Isotopes, Chihauhuas, and all time stupidest, the Montgomery Biscuits. 

Ummmm....the Baby Cakes name makes perfect sense in NOLA because of Mardi Gras. Also, makes for an noxiously entertaining mascot.

All the things SP Cook hates.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above

There used to be a minor-league or semipro basketball team named "Vermont Frost Heaves."  Great name and fits this site well.

The intro to Baseketball mocked stadium naming rights as well as teams (such as the Minneapolis Lakers moving to Los Angeles "where there are no lakes") moving among other things.

Remember when the Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee, and kept the name for a few years?
That was so stupid I was so happy when the announced the name change. I don't now why the new Houston football team got the Texans name and not the Oilers.

The NFL announced they were retiring the name "Oilers" after the Tennessee Oilers changed their name.

I can think of a name that would have been dumber: When Lamar Hunt moved his AFL team from Dallas to Kansas City, he didn't want to change their name, but he relented and made them the Chiefs after friends convinced him that "Kansas City Texans" was both a stupid name and one unlikely to gain fan support.

It was pretty funny when for a time that you had the relocated New Orleans Hornets, a name that would have made perfect sense for a Utah team while the Utah team retained the New Orleans name. Pelicans is a dumb name with a dumb mascot, but it was good that they could work out giving the expansion Charlotte team their name back.
