The Devil Rays are now known as the Rays. Which wouldn't be that bad, but the Rays are now in reference to a Ray of light. You know how I know you're gay?...

The Rays mascot will be updated to the new image - a ray of sunbeam.

"Our new team name and new look express the vibrancy of our organization," said Rays president Matt Silverman. "The Tampa Bay Rays will shine, on the field and in our community. We will be a great source of pride for our region."

They really would have been hard pressed to have made a dumber decision.

You think a Flame is a hard mascot to demonstrate? Try this one--a RAY of sunshine:

The Rays mascot will be updated to the new image - a ray of sunbeam.

I got $50 saying that the people in charge of the Rays are hippies.

I, for one, am opposed to any team nicknames that don't include Native American imagery. I think they should have called them the "Tampa Bay Chiefs" or "Blackhawks" or "Redskins".
