Senators would be a good team name but i also heard one of the groups from that area wanted to use the name Grays in honor of the Homestead Grays of the negro leagues who played some of their 'home' games at Griffith Park in DC during the 30's and 40's |

They won't be the Senators - apparently, the Rangers own that name [insert anti-capitalist rant here]. |

I could see some support being raised to call them the Washington Lame Ducks. |

As I have read above, " groups " in that area are favoring the name Grays. Looks like a done deal to me boys and girls. |

If nothing was winnning (how did the "Rangers" get a lock on the name "Senators"?), I was going to suggest the "Capitals,"--Canada has a hockey team by that name. |

I like how espn conviently forgets that there was baseball before 1900 all the time.They had a story tonight about a team in dc and they said numerous times this is the 3rd time major league baseball will have a team in Washington. |

I will NEVER defend the disaster that has become ESPN. But 19th century baseball was in great part played under a different set of rules, or at best, a shifting , or evolving set of rules. The statistical accumulations in the 19th century need to be kept in a 'pre-modern'catagory.. |

Aside from the new nickname this team will get, I wanted to put in my take on MLB's decision to move the Expo's to Washington. I think this was a poor choice, no offense to the city and residents of Washington DC. MLB provided Washington with 2 previous chances to support a team in the 20th century, one of which was moved after only 10 years of play, the other a version of the Chicago Cubs with a pathetic fan base. While I don't have anything against the city of Washington DC, I do believe that locations like Nashville, Tennessee and Portland, Oregon would have provided legitimate new homes. Had the franchise moved to Portland or Nashville, they would have fit nicely into the American League West, the only four team division, and equalled out the number of teams in each league. There were probably other suitable locations too (Salt Lake City)...so I guess I've failed to see why MLB had Washington pegged from day 1. Maybe I'm in the minority with this opinion, but I think the new Washington franchise will be a joke within 10 years. |

They wouldnt put 15 teams in each league for 2 reasons.They would either have 1 team off everyday and 7 games per league or have to play interleague games the whole season.They wont do that because they want the interleague games all going on at once to create more of an excitment around them.Its always fun seeing some of the matchups,of course there are some that dont excite but games like angels/dodgers giants/a's mets/yankees indians/reds devil rays/marlins royals/cardinals cubs/white sox let natural geographic rivals all play at once.I assume that the new Washington frnachise will be playing the Orioles during those games,probably 6 times,3 at each park. |
