Fantasy Baseball Recruiting

So, against all good common sense I've decided to join a fantasy baseball team being thrown together by my good friend Dwight. He also mentioned that i could plug the league - there's room for twenty teams, and there are currently less than 10. If you'd like to play, you can follow the link here. Or you can just go to the game frontpage and click either 'Sign Up Now' or 'Get Another Team' and follow the links to 'Join a Custom League'. You'll be asked for the league ID and password, which aaaarre:

League ID#: 151041
Password: baseball

The big question, though, is what i am going to name my team. For the football season, we got a sponsor from Sobchak Security, and the basketball team name was inspired by a sign on my little brother Jon's bedroom mirror: "Socks THEN Shoes". But what to do for this new team? It's incredibly important to have a good name. Vital. Without a good name you're bound to suck. You'll have to stare at a half baked name for at least 6 months. So, i've come up with a few potentials, but still need to decide. Here are the current contenders:

Do you Ordonez?
The Banjo Hitters (The sound of an oddly hit ball off the end of the bat)
Chin Music
Deuces Wild (lots of 2's on the scoreboard)
The Duck Farts (as in a hit with little momentum, as if a duck simply farted)
The Brush Backs
Jim Leyland's Mustache
The Fungoes (a popup hit with no power behind it)
Get off the Schneid (breaking a hitless streak)
Herky-Jerky (a pitcher's awkward startup)
The Junkballers
Ivan's New Regime
The Nubbers (see fungoe)
The Squibbers (see nubber)
The Daisy Cutters
The Worm Burners

Of course, any contributions are welcome - and please leave a vote for your favorite in the comments. (Personally, i'm stuck between Chin Music and Jim Leyland's Mustache)

I think it has to be Jim Leyland's Mustache

For some reason, i really like Chin Music. I would also love to get a name that is defamatory towards barry bonds, if anyone has any good ones for that.

Barry's Oversized Chin Music?

My in-laws from St. Louis were RV'ing last summer, after losing the "black water" pipe to the road, they named the replacement Albert Poo-Hose.
