To Which I Publicly Challenge Manwags To A Duel

Posted by Pean

Internet SLAP!!!!

Image:MizunoBattingGlove.jpg


Ok, so ArmchairGM Challenges were clunky and never caught on. While there is probably no chance that the old system is coming back, I would like to extend a friendly "challenge" to our resident Tampa Bay Devil Rays (yes, I said Devil, deal with it) zealot Too Many Stiles. Us Yankee fans have taken countless and undeserved bashing on this site. Order must be restored.

So I ask you Manwags, are you ready to put your Wiki where your mouth is? (wow, that sounds gross!)

I don't know what the terms will be (I will NOT write opinion pieces, such as Why The Yankees Suck Blah Blah Blah), but I do know the Yankees will take the series. The Yanks are home, so I'll give you a split.

Whats it gonna be?

The funny thing is, they took the "Devil" off their unis and everywhere they could at the end of 2005. There was even a press release in Jan 2006 - IN FACT - it was even mentioned right here on AGM.

Welcome to 2006, Pean!!!


MLB wouldn't approve the name or uni change until this season.

In my opinion, until they decide to change the name of the actually animal to just a "Ray" I think it's kosher to continue calling the team that. Long live the Devil Rays. You damn heathens, you.

The problem with the original name is... NO ONE calls any ray a "Devil Ray"... it's a Manta Ray or a Giant ray and there's dozens of other Rays, but "Devil Ray" is a nickname from the local toothless hicks of Sixtoe County that barely speak English. They went for alliteration instead of logic. It wasn't changed because the Devil is a negative connotation. It was changed because it was stupid.

My apologies. I live in a land chock full of these people and most of them probably don't even know that "Tampa Bay" isn't even the real title of the city or where to even point to it on a map. We know our beer, bratwurst and whitetail deer, and that's how we like it. (In this context "we" is used as a generalization for every person I wish I had never met in my life but by whom I am frequently surrounded.)

Quite right, Manny. Duke has never been bothered because they are the Blue Devils. Being nicknamed the Demon Deacons hasn't hurt Wake. DePaul's managed. Didn't stop New Jersey from winning a few Stanley Cups. If 'Rays' doesn't stick, I suggest the genus name: the Tampa Bay Mobula! Or would Mobula have a negative effect on the fan base? Should be OK: the crowds are too small for that to be a problem.

Take the dumbest people from Wisconsin get them to Florida to inbreed for a few generations and you'll have the swamp folk of Piniellas and Hillsborough County who see the two horns on the Manta's head and they say with that side mouthed southern draaaaawl:

"lookit dat'dar critter. Ire reck'nit it look jus'lika dang devil! Lookit Maw! I gots me a devil ray!! A geh geh git git..."

Very few rays have the horns protruding from their head and rays are in the same family as sharks.

Yes, I got to pet the rays in the Ray tank at Tropicana - all of which were "cow rays" and nowhere near the size of a manta.

"Yankees manager Joe Girardi is suffering from an upper respiratory infection and is a gametime decision as to whether he will manage tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Girardi has a high fever, and is on medication and resting, the Yankees said. If he cannot manage, bench coach Rob Thomson will manage the game."
