    Sod Poodles you ask?

    AMARILLO, TX (KFDA) - After more than 3,000 name submissions, Amarillo Professional Baseball has whittled down the final contenders of their "Name the Team" sweepstakes to just five. But now, many Amarilloans are begging the team to go back to the drawing board.

    Here are the finalists and why they were chosen:

    1. Amarillo Boot Scooters - The Boot Scooters combines Amarillo's genuine welcoming attitude with its fun western heritage.
    2. Amarillo Bronc Busters - Amarillo has deep cowboy roots and the Bronc Busters honors the community's resilient, independent spirit.
    3. Amarillo Jerky - Commemorating its famous cattle drive, there's only one region that can lay claim to the "Beef Capital of the World."
    4. Amarillo Long Haulers - Long Haulers celebrates Amarillo's famous Route 66, open roads, wind-bent trees, and the fun of Minor League Baseball.
    5. Amarillo Sod Poodles - A pioneer's nickname for the "Prairie Dogs," this fun-loving local animal is very aggressive in protecting its family and home.

    I have never heard about prairie dogs being referred to as "sod poodles" until the team name was announced

    The first hit of the Astros minor league season belongs to Quad Cities' Enmanuel Valdez, who hit a two-out single in the 1st inning.

    CC finally broke through for 4 in the 5th against a very good 20yo Cuban LHP, Adrian Morejon, after getting mowed down the 1st 4 innings. Fun game.

    Toro just missed a 3-run jack, warning track into a breeze to the deepest part of the ballpark.

    Seth Beer's first two RBI of the season have come on a bases-loaded walk and a bases-loaded HBP.
