I feel sorry for the players and their families.

What does your son do, Bob?

Oh, he plays for the Baby Cakes.

I feel like it could hurt other teams. Who the hell wants to watch their team play someone called the baby cakes?

Twitter is melting down over the name change. Here is a sampling of some of the comments thus far.

"New Orleans Babycakes ????????
Im embarrassed if this is a real thing"


"I'm so disappointed in all of humanity now. #babycakes"

"Just. Ridiculous. #BabyCakes"

"If they're calling the baseball team the Babycakes can they at least call them the Kenner Babycakes? Don't put that stink on #neworleans"

"Hey bro you wanna come to the Babycakes game?"

"Baby Cakes sounds like the name of the white chick with a big butt who strips at the hood spot..."

"In the Miami Marlins system you can go from the AA Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to AAA New Orleans Baby Cakes. ACL surgery sounds better."

"When you step out onto a baseball ??field as the BabyCakes!!!????"

"Memo to whoever approved #BabyCakes: Show us your prescription. Use of marijuana is still illegal in Louisiana otherwise."

"Marlins minor leaguers will now get "promoted" from Jumbo Shrimp to Baby Cakes. Lucky them."

"Marlins with that solid Hammerheads-Jumbo Shrimp-Babycakes pipeline"

Think about putting your job experience on Linkedin as being employed by the Baby Cakes. You will either be branded as gay or having worked at a strip club.

It sounds like what Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham call their tits.

Baby Cakes.

Who calls a kingcake a babycake anyway? I've lived in the nola area my entire life and cannot recall that.

Worse, these stupid Yankee owners were ignorant to the "Zephyrs" name connection to nola with the roller coaster at Pontchartrain Beach. Dumb fricks.

Comparisons with New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the Mascot are also circulating around twitter and facebook.

The owners of the franchise are from Connecticut so of course you wouldn't have.
