Me and my family were driving home, when my wife showed me a person in a shirt with Sod Poodles on it. She said it was one of the finalist names for our new AA team. I said no way. She pulled up the list. As she read the names, I told my kids that's just a joke, that it wasn't the real list. Just someone having a little fun on Facebook. She read the blurb for Sod Poodles and said it would have been better to name the team, the Prairie Dogs(I agreed, what hardened pioneer calls something a sod poodle or even knows what a poodle is). You know what? IT WAS THE REAL LIST. Did they get confused and choose the bottom five from the list. They need to protect the Innocent because if they go with one of these names and they announce the winner, they will be tarred and feathered(a better name than this five because it will be what the fans and players will feel like when the other team and fans start mocking us) at the first game, which will be the only game anyone goes to because who wants to be mocked everytime you go out to the ol ballgame. We need to make sure the number of people on the petition outnumbers the total number of votes tallied on the site. Do not go vote for any of the names.

Please start a new petition that will appoint a new committee to select the top five names for the baseball team. Obviously the committee that is currently assembled does not have the ability to pick relevant names for a team that will represent our community.

Dumbest ideas ever. Back to the drawing board. Why don't you hold a competition to see who can come up with the best name.

How many of these names have been vetted for negative associations? This is what happens when one tries to make business decisions by public voting.

Let's pick a team name that shows at least a little class, please. Our high schools chose great mascots... why can't our city planners do the same? We need a name that won't make us the laughing stock of the league. Pioneers. Rattlers, Ospreys. Bulls. Cowboys...

I WAS going to the first game just to see what I’m being FORCED to pay for. Ain’t no more. No parking in the garage, no hotel, no parking meters. This city is being run by morons. Bend over Amarillo, the Sod Poodles are going to bust your bronc while the Long Haulers bring you a load of something other than Jerkey to fill your boots.

We want a name that won't be laughed at. I suggest the name Amarillo Plainsmen as the baseball team name. Plainsmen reflects the culture of the people of the Plains - native Americans and our pioneer ancestors. We want a name that reflects the dignity of the people who call this area home. I can support a team with a proud name.
