What names are you all going with for your FF Baseball teams?

Right now my team is the Vatican Assassin Warlords. I know that Charlie Sheen jokes will be stale soon, possibly even by Opening Day, so I have my ears open for new names. At least I posted a cool picture of Charlie from Major League.

Last year I had several names, closing out the season with a reference to Tyler Colvin’s mishap with a splintered bat, “Tyler Colvin? Not A Vampire!”

What does FF stand for?

I’ll assume you just mean Fantasy, and I’ll tell you that I’ve gone with the name **Project Mayhem** for about 10 years.

Sorry- I should have written just FBB, for Fantasy Baseball.

My son leans toward Scared Hitless. I like Balking Tall myself.

I am using **Ass to McLouth** this year. It was a close heat between that and **Heyward Jablowme**.

I’ve used Gotham Knights in the past, with this logo:

ETA: that’s not my team, just another with the same logo - might even be the original source of it…

**Heywood Jablowme** is much easier to understand, so I’d go with him. He always sounded like the Atlanta Braves centerfielder for some reason.

or **Oliver Klothezov** , the Russian
