I put zero thought into mine. The first thing that came to mind was Pork Chop Express, so I used it. Then I thought, how can you have a baseball team without Abbott and Costello, so I added them. Then I just typed the first 10 "cool" characters that came to mind and left it that way ever since.

Good, it felt weird having a win on my list. Any more than 3 wins and the pressure become too much for my team.

Just went through my CD collection and picked rock bands whose names I could bastardize into a person's name. The first 11 were pretty easy, but I couldn't find a 12th, so I went through my classical collection.
I have no idea what motivated me to go with this theme. It just happened.

You know that you're gonna have a great season when your first and only win comes from a forfeit. 
Edit:
But maybe not even. He just initiated against me and so can just submit that score....sigh.....

So if anybody wants to challenge a slumping 9*in monster, Team #85077.
I will remain in Monter until Monday, so no need to check the stadium before initiating.

And that was really the only thing I had going.....sigh....I guess I'll just have to get better and win a division playoff some day.On a side note.....has anyone noticed that the only players that get a walk seem to be the pitcher? I'm playing Passive Agressive and my pitcher has walked his twice so far. It's insane.
