Since the Devil Rays need to submit a team name on May 31st let's go make up some team names for them.

Obviously The Tampa Bay Rays may be their team name but let's get more creative.

3. Cubans (close enough to Miami)
4. 'Canes
5. Manatees

Thats all I got for now.

tampon would be very fitting. it makes sense metaphorically. theyre trying to symbolize with the name change that theyre stopping the bleeding. take into consideration the alliteration and i think you got a winner.

i vote tampa bay tampons

Why do they have to change it?

Because "Devil" is evil and will keep God-fearing folk away.

If my mother cared about baseball, she wouldn't like them for that simple reason.

Tampa Bay Fire connected to Lightening as that team is believe to get their name from "sticks of fire" which may refer to the lightning strikes that Tampa Bay receives which happens to be alot.
