So, my local minor league baseball team changed their name to the Greenville Drive today. Is this the worst team name ever? I mean BMW, Michelin, and a new auto research facility are all in the upstate. Is that reason enough to name the team the drive though? Keep in mind that they hired a marketing firm to come up with this. Someone actually paid a lot of money for this name. When you ask me what Greenville is known for I don’t say “automotive facilities”…. I say humidity, road construction, fire ants, and mosquitoes. Maybe they could call the team the Greenville Humidity… can’t be much worse than Drive or can it?

piss poor name. over on Urban Planet there have been severl discussions about what to name the team and not many folks liked “drive” incredibly stupid. my favourite from the suggestoins was the Strings – so they could be the G-Strings (you know strings to reflect the textile history yeah that’s the ticket). Someone else suggested the Green Sox as it’s a farm team for the BoSox – i think either strings or sox is much much much better than “drive”
