    Add the L.A. Dodgers to that list, unless instead of trolley dodgers you are substituting bullet dodgers. But do you know what the expression "dodge the bullet" means? It means avoiding some form of suckitude, which the Dodgers actually invited by moving to L.A. They had intensely loyal fans that were more loyal than Cubs fans. They had a quaint, friendly little ball park to play in. And they finally had a World Series flag to fly in it. Being a Dodger fan was the ultimate "fuck the Yankees" statement.

    Same goes for the Giants, which used to play in the Polo Grounds, the second weirdest park (after Ebbets Field) in the majors at the time. It was virtually impossible to hit a home run out of center field (although it was easy for Willie Mays to catch a ball there that would have been an impressive homer anywhere else). It was a piece of cake to hit one down the lines in left or right. You could literally flip the Yankees the bird from the upper deck of the Polo Grounds. Have the Giants won a World Series since? No.

    Then there are the L.A. Lakers. Why are they called the Lakers? Because they originally came from Minneapolis, the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." There aren't any lakes in L.A. that you'd want to go fishing in.

    So yeah, teams with obsolete nicknames suck the big one. At least the Ravens didn't settle for being the Baltimore Browns.

    6. Fire up the Bandwagon The bandwagon, pink-hatted know nothing fans who are out to turn the Cardinals into the goddamned Red Sox, ca. 2005. Most of these assholes don't know that the Buzzsaw played games prior to January 2009. Yet one day at this year's training camp drew a crowd larger than most home games at Sun Devil Stadium. The Cardinals are quickly becoming an insufferable fanbase built on newfound success. My only hope is that one day a real 4-12 season will come and wash all this scum off the streets.

    /resentful moron who has followed this team for 20 years and fears the trappings of success

    There were so many badass desert themes to work with: snakes, scorpions, severed heads buried in the ground, etc.
