So it seems as though Washington DC will be getting a baseball team. Personally, I am of two minds regarding the team. It will undoubtedly compromise that Orioles ability to generate revenue. It will also be nice to have another team to go see. So any thoughts on what the team name is going to be? Some of the obvious ones are the Senators, the Nationals, the Monuments & the Grays. I a partial to the Grays, though I imagine there are probably better names out there.

Muggers
Murderers
Bums (for the homeless problem, and for the quality of baseball we will see with the Expos coming)
Lobbyists
Lying Rat Bastards
Insiders
Syphlitics
And you know that with Barry back in a political office, there are going to be lots of home runs calls like "hitting the rock" or "smoking it."

The "Traffic" is pretty good. Maybe the "Washginton Generals" would be good since it is the Expos franchise.
Posted by: Pat at September 29, 2004 02:57 PMI believe you are correct, that the Rangers still own the rights to the Senators name. The Rangers have played in Senators uniforms during throwback festivities.
Posted by: John at September 29, 2004 04:20 PMi really like the washington traffic idea though i'm sure that for a pretty penny the rangers will sell the rights to the "senators" name back to DC. it's all about the benjamins.
