It was just this week that I learned that Huntsville Alabama has minor league baseball team called the Rocket City Trash Pandas. I could not contain myself to what an AWESOME name that is and their mascot? *chef’s kiss*

He’d complain that the new logo would frighten and turn away children from the team. 

In an alternate reality, they ppicked ‘Spiders’ and Erik's post is all complaining about the all-time worst record juju. 

You’re mad a lot it seems.

Only a handful of pro teams have moved in the last 20yrs, and there is 0 chance CLE will move. They have been there for over a century. 

Those statues guarding the river couldnt even stop water from catching on fire. 

You really couldn't be more wrong on basically all fronts there buddy.

People like sports. It’s even important to some people. Most of the teams have individual principal owners and don’t randomly move around. The exceptions, especially when teams move are a big deal when they happen. The team was founded in Cleveland over 100 years ago. 

Look out, the Baseball Variance Authority is coming to prune you for your foreign substance use!

Yeah, my initial reaction was “Huh? That’s dumb”, but then I remembered I live in a city with a team named “Texans”.  And nothing will ever top that.

“I had a similar journey, initially disappointed that the powers-that-be didn’t go with “The Spiders,” after the 19th century Cleveland professional baseball team.”

Here’s a pretty good deterrent:

Why don’t they just make the key fob out of tin foil?

The meal is interesting, but I want to know more about why this is considered a ritual sacrifice (and how common was this?) rather than a criminal punishment...

Manual transmission helps too.

“If you like how a bog preserves you, wait til you check out Carbonite!”

“That said, the presence of seeds from pale persicaria was considered to be a bit strange. Persicaria is a weed, and it grew alongside barley and flax but was harvested together with the grains. Its seeds were typically removed during threshing...”

No, Taco Bell doesn’t stay in the intestines long enough.

How do they know this guy died from “ritual sacrifice.” From my experience in archaeology (phd dropout in the field), this term generally means “We don’t know what killed him.” I am a little surprised that a hanging would be used for a ritual killing. It seems more likely the guy was being punished in some kind of act…
