Guest Speed Racer Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 None of these are particularly catchy team names. Baseball-y Wilco phrases, yes, but not team names. What 12 year-old boy wants to be on a team called, "My Darlings?" I'd much rather play for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
