I prefer not to be a laughing stock. This is truly an embarrassing situation. I keep waiting for the punch line. Since it seems real, I support the petition to choose some actual names that are actually representative of Amarillo. Our softball girls honestly have more fierce and still quirky names than this!

West Texas Hitters or Texas Twisters are baseball type names. Not these joke of names we’ve been presented with.

Just saw the interview with the Manager of Baseball Operations and he didn't seem to have a problem with the names. Maybe the real problemis the people who narrowed the names down to these top five. Good way to make Amarillo a laughing stock. What a bunch of idiots!

These names are awful. Being “unique” for “unique sake” is not good. Please give us better options

We can do better than these. I understand they are suppose to be "quirky" but really? The sod poodles? Jerky? Please rethink.

We Need a name we can be proud of, these 5 are NOT something I would ever be proud of repeating or cheering for. I'm extremely disappointed! We can do better, I mean we Must do better !

These names are ridiculous! The “boot scooters” ?? How embarrassing! How about the Stampede or the Rednecks? The “Sod Poodles” sounds like a bunch of drunk softball players made these names!

STRONGLY reconsider some alternatives to these embarrassing names—something we can all take pride in.
