好队名的代表，一种能撕烂你脸的异国动物。

: 2 海盗 A name that suggests swashbuckling adventure, so it could lead

:
一个暗示五湖七海水上大冒险的队名，所以可能引发广告不实官司，
不过仍不失为一个好队名。
: 3 巨人 Works on a literal and figurative level. Classic. I'm not biased
: at all.
不管是字面或象征意义上都合乎道理。经典队名。我可是完全没偏见的。

地理上很合理，而且不禁令我想起三叉戟，而且也让我想起电影
"骗徒糗事多"里Ruprecht这个角色。

: and the name makes me think of those hilarious Chuck Norris jokes.
: What ever happened to those? Bring 'em back, I say!
德州游骑兵蛮受人尊敬，而且令坏蛋怕怕，而且这个队名会让我想起那些
有关硬汉演员Chuck Norris的爆笑笑话。它们跑到哪里去了?应该把它们
找回来才对!

啤酒。
:
: 8 响尾蛇 Snakes are underrepresented in the team-name landscape. There's
: no reason why that should be. They'll freak you out, and then
: they'll kill you. The prejudice is probably because of a lingering
: anti-Cobra Kai sentiment left over from the '80s, but it's time
: to move on.
蛇在队名界太少见了，根本没理由要这样。蛇会吓死人，然后杀死你。这
种偏见大概是80年代反"小子难缠"的遗毒作祟，不过现在大家别再对此
耿耿于怀了。

: 9 洛矶 Straddles the line between "geographically appropriate" and
: "boring," but it's about as appropriate of a name as you can

介于"地理正确"和"无聊乏味"之间的模糊地带，不过丹佛市球队取这样的
队名，是在合理不过的事了。

: isn't a bad consolation prize. Reminds you of "The Jetsons,"

: uniqueness.The name hasn't fit, though, ever since Prop 33
: criminalized public transportation in Los Angeles, so they're
: the Utah Jazz of baseball.
曾被叫做"电车闪避者"，这样与众不同其实蛮酷的。不过这个队名自从

一个可以自豪使用的贬抑词，暗示只属赢家专利的某种自大感。没错，

: St. Louis Hawthorns and the Baltimore Black-Eyed Susans.
乏味到不行的鸟儿。我们得庆幸鸟类学家比植物学家早想到队名，

: There's ambiguity too, as you don't know if they're the kind of
: rays you can pet in an aquarium, or the kind that kill nature-show
: hosts.
随着他们从四个字队名干掉一个字后，排名就曾上升过一次。它还有某种

杀死野生动物节目主持人的𫚉鱼。

这首歌的机会。
