So,

The vegas team is going to be called the Mountain Bluebirds...

And the Coyotes is making a roadrunner their mascot..

Pretty clever for Arizona to do that, Vegas could have easily messed with them by naming their team the roadrunners.. Like the Soo did by naming their team the greyhounds.

Don't think this will happen.
Supposed to be an 'impressing and strong team name'.

Mountain Bluebirds = small, sexually dimorphic songbirds

So serious. Chill.
Has nothing to do with analytics or their people.
He's on a hot streak now....just like he was before he got injured.
However, both are over short periods.....Id like to see him over the course of a full season.
Its baseball....everyone and their mom (including analytics people) knows players have peaks and valleys throughout the season. But the good players valleys are usually shorter.
Lets see what he can do over a full season. Not asking much.

Yeah.. Theres already two bird teams in the NHL. Not sure if they'd want to name their team after a seemingly wimpy little bird.

The "solar bears" are a Leafs affiliate, but our mascot is a polar bear..

Our mascot was a polar bear long before the solar bears became their affiliate.

Al Strachan said it's hard to believe someone like Johnson could get fired and Bruce Arthur still gets paid to write..That got interesting as well..

Don't think so. Fielding so - so - agree. Bat - one of the most dangerous bats in the lineup. Missed two months this year and on the DL - has an OBP of about .350 despite having a poor batting average this year. He is an remains an excellent offensive player. Putting him in the same sentence as Barney is surely a joke.

I think because of the injuries, it may be possible that the Jays sign both still. Jose needs to rebuild his value, if he gets qualified, there may not be any takers - so he can sign a one year deal with the Jays in hopes of rebuilding his value. Edwin - it was a bad choice not to sign him in spring but he's now a probably going to get a nice payday.

I honestly hate analytics people...

I don't (frank)ing care what stupid little graph you made, athletes go through ups and downs. It takes all the fun out of sports.

Anyone who watched Travis play last year for a bit knows that he's a stud.. His slow start meant nothing, except for the fun-ruining analytics people.
