Suggest a name for the new Washington baseball team.

[Brundlefly]

MLB Commisioner Bud Selig just gave approval for Montreal Expos to move to DC. The team will need to find ownership, a stadium, and a new name.

Here's what I came up with for a name:

Washington Eagles
Washington Insiders
Washington Pundits
Washington Flip-Floppers
Washington Warmongers
Washington Quarters
Washington Soft Money.
Washington Turncoats.
Washington Monuments.
Washington Capitol Maulers (get it? Capitol Mall- OK, it's dumb).
Washington Reservists.
Washington Bluebloods.
Washington Shoeshiners
Washington Bills
Washington Amendments
Washington Constitutionals (many layrs of meaning)
Washington Mudslingers
Washington Carpetbaggers
Washington Lobbyists

The Montreal Expos

[Japher]

Filabusters

Racial Slurs

Jackasses

[Dauphin]

Washington Washouts.

Seriously, they've already had two iterations of the Senators, why not go for three?

Is there any question what the Washington Senators will be named?

One of the proposed new stadium sites was on the Senate side of Capital Hill (at the new New York Avenue metro station), which would have fit nicely. Don't know what the new site along the Anacostia will be like.

Washington Expos

Or how about "Washington Still Last Place Even in a new City"

When I moved the Expos in MVP 2004 I called them the Washington Porkers.
I also thought about The Washington Campaign
The Washington Contribution.

But DanS is right they should and will be called the Senators.

[Q Classic]

Washington Senators, nicknamed the "DC Sens".

Damn Capitals're Still Expos 'N Sucky.

Washington is a much different city than it was when the Senators were last in town. It is now the 5th largest MSA nationwide (5 million people) and can support a winning baseball team.

That area of town definitely needs some of that.

I just thought I'd mention that the Expos suck now and they have little in their future. Alot of people laud Omar Minaya but the core of good now gone players (save Vidro) were there before he got there. He really didn't do that much. He did have one hand tied behind his back, but he negotiated like he had both hands tied behind him. The only GM I'd rank below him is ?Littlefield? of the Pirates.

American sports are so strange.

Go Senators!
