How can I have a list of wimpy names and not have at least two of the birds from the many in the MLB? So of all the teams named after birds in baseball, I picked the Oriole as the wimpiest. I gave them a chance—I looked up the birds and I found this one to be the most un-manly of them all.
So how about Baltimore relocates into the slow-pitch softball league? Only kidding. Sorry for picking on you Baltimore, but one of the birds had to take one for the team.
2. Alouettes (Montreal—CFL)
Now I know most of the Americans probably won't even know of this team. They are from the Canadian Football League and have one of the most sissy names I have heard of in sports and needed to be put on my list.
I love going to the Bomber games in Winnipeg and having everyone in the stadium cheer, "OHH I'd rather be a bomber than an (expletive) Alouette" in the tune of the famous Alouette children song. A terrible name that could've been No. 1, but I decided against it.
Now lets get on to the No. 1 PICK.
Congratulations!
1. Angels (Los Angeles of Anaheim—MLB)
Before I get into explaining my pick, I'm just going to say that I almost didn't use this one because the names of the cities take too long to write. I mean, do I have to explain why I chose this one to be my No. 1 selection?
Angels—it's a very wimpy name. Angels are messengers of the almighty God, but they do not have the power of the Lord. Although angels can be frightning and powerful in their own way it just sounds peaceful, nice, and all that it takes to become No. 1 on my list of the Wimpiest Names.
So there goes my hobby for the day because it took me all day. Hope you enjoyed it, and I can't wait to hear everyone disagree with all of my decisions! So leave comments and have fun reading it over again and again.
Honorable Mention:
Browns (Cleveland—NFL)
Originally on my top ten list, the Browns were replaced by a more sissy name with the Cardinals. The name Browns comes from coach Paul Brown, and although that's kinda cool, the name of their football team is still Browns, and that's quite lame.
North Stars (Minnesota—NHL)
This wimpy team name almost made my list as the replacement for the Browns, but I decided to give them a break. It doesn't sound wimpier than Cardinals, and when they got a new NHL team, they changed their team name to the Wild (which is a pretty awesome name).
