Every league is going to be chock full of unimaginative, boring team names like Sith Lords or KLM1972 or Colorado Cubs. It's awful. Me being the type to harp over a team name longer than I do when I'm debating on whether to use my #1 waiver priority on Johnny Cueto or not, I'm generally proud of the names I come up with. While I'm on the subject, you may play with a team named this, and I have a friend who has played with me for years and he one day decided to not only use it, but claim that HE, in fact, was the first to use it. I'm here to stake claim to The Money Shots right here and now. Feel free to use it, but like Richard Lewis with "the (blank) from hell." I just want you to know who coined the team name. Let's delve into the magnificent world of some of the more offensive fantasy baseball team names, some of which I played against, some of which I just made up for this article:

New York Mets... RickRoll'd

Via East Coast Bias  |  April 08, 2008
According to the New York Daily News, the Mets were the victim of an internet-organized prank. When asked to vote for the new 8th Inning song at Shea Stadium, "fans" apparently voted for the ubiquitous "Never Gonna Give You Up" by white chocolate himself, Rick Astley.

Mets may get Rick Roll'd all season long...ASTLEY WINS!

Via theropolitans.com  |  April 07, 2008
Due to an onslaught of votes for write-in candidate: Never Gonna Give You Up is among the top six songs to be the new eighth inning song for the New York Mets. It actually "won" the vote, but the vote was never going to decide the song, just weed out the bad ones, says the Mets.

Mets Hate Chase Utley

Via East Coast Bias  |  April 08, 2008
The Mets have hit Chase Utley three times already in a game that's still in progress, tying the Major League Baseball record. If I made bad puns, I'd say "Look out Craig Biggio, the Chase is on."

Matt Wise, who is suffering from forearm stiffness, looks like he's heading to the disabled list, according to Adam Rubin. The Mets will call up Carlos Muniz.

Shea Stadium and the New York Mets: You were just Rick Rolled

Via theropolitans.com  |  April 08, 2008
Here is video from the game when the New York Mets and all the fans in Shea Stadium were Rick Rolled today. In the video you can hear the crowd reaction. Sounds like BOO's to me.

Phillies rally late to beat Mets; Rollins Injured

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  April 08, 2008
The Phillies continued their recent dominance of the Mets by overcoming a 2-0 deficit in the late innings to win 5-2. The Phillies nearly wasted a good pitching performance by Jamie Moyer, who pitched six innings and gave up only two runs. Oliver Perez started for the Mets and pitched great, allowing no runs to score, but lasted only 5 2/3 innings. As soon as the Phillies got to...

Sprain can't stop Rollins

Via My Sports Rumors  |  April 08, 2008
The Philadelphia Phillies were the team to beat last year, and Jimmy Rollins says they are this year. And you know what, if the New York Mets couldn't beat them last year, he sure as hell isn't letting a sprained ankle beat him. For those who don't know by now, Rollins sprained his ankle today in the 8th inning against the Mets.

Shea Stadium is kind of a dump

Via theropolitans.com  |  April 08, 2008
Don't get me wrong, I love Shea Stadium just as much as the next guy, but we all have to admit that it's an awful looking place. It's filled with memories of baseball, with a little dash of football and a sprinkle of rock and roll music, from the day it was erected, but right now it's a relic. An ugly one, at that.

Johnny Cueto Makes His Major League Debut, Everyone Notices + Scouting Reports

Via Baseball Mastermind  |  April 04, 2008
Cincinnati Reds RHP Johnny Cueto made his major league debut on Thursday and everyone around the majors took note. In his stellar debut, the 5′10″ 22 year-old pitched seven innings, allowing only one hit, a home run to the Arizona Diamondbacks' Justin Upton in the 6th inning. He had been pitching a perfect game until that point. By the end of the seventh, Cueto had...

How Long Before Dusty Baker Ruins Johnny Cueto?

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  April 08, 2008
In case you missed it Thursday, Reds rookie Johnny Cueto was rather impressive making his major league debut. The 22-year-old was perfect through his first five innings before giving up a solo HR to Justin Upton in the 6th, the only base-runner he allowed all game. Cueto went seven innings of one-r...

Gorzo and Cueto

Via Where Is Andy Van Slyke  |  April 19, 2008
Interesting pitching match-up today as Tom Gorzelanny takes the mound against 2008's early season phenom, Johnny Cueto. Cueto is exactly the kind of pitcher that kills the Pirates (seriously, don't I just say that about everyone?). He's a hard thrower that strikes out a ton of hitters and he's been d...
