What should the Washington Expos new name be?

[maveric]

The Senators again?
The Beltway?
The Nationals?

[pk_du]

1. The Indecent Expos ?

[GOPisEvil]

2. It's going to be The Nationals. But, I liked The Grays.

How about Monarchs? Use one of the old Negro League names. :-)

[maveric]

6. I like that one. Is it set in stone yet?

I always liked the Senators too but they already had two unsuccessful franchises using that name.

[Mojambo]

12. I too, wanted the Grays. n/t

[MrScorpio]

3. The Washington Disenfranchised

"No taxation without representation"

[Unstuck In Time]

4. The Crusaders.

[KamaAina]

5. The Washington Insiders.

Leading off for the Insiders in the bottom of the fifth, the designated blowhard, number 2, George Will.

7. The Capitalists

[MrScorpio]

11. These guys even give capitalists a bad name

8. The Senators in honor of the names tradition

albeit not a great tradition but still a decades long one. Of course I'm biased - used to go to old Griffith Stadium as a kid.

[maveric]

9. Bob Allison and Frank Howard (The Washington Monument).

From the latter franchise.
Walter Johnson from the former.

10. The Filibusters

[maveric]

13. The Whores.

[CO Liberal]

14. "The Insiders"

:-)

[Chef]

15. Reagans

or the ExExpos. The Reagans or Ronies or Ronettes because they will play at Reagan Field in Reagan City in the District of Reagan, United States of Reagan.

17. sniff.....sniff

[kodi]

16. Lobbyists

they'll play in well heeled shoes.

[Zech Marquis]

18. I like The Grays

The Nationals...exactly what kind of mascot would THAT imply? :eyes:

[maveric]

20. Dick Cheney. A millionaire bloated, white, war profiteering, racist.

Picture a mascot dressed and made up to look like Unka Dick lobbing crackerjacks in bomb canister shaped packaging and telling the fans to go fuck themselves.

[DrZeeLit]

19. Senators -- I'm a traditionalist and ... then...

wouldn't "Damn Yankees" would be up-to-date? Doesn't the lead character play for the Senators? Not sure.

Still, I vote Senators.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. The DC Donkeys...or The DC Democrats!

[BoX o BooX]

22. The Washington Temporaries

Or "This time for hire... will work for new stadium."

[Bluzmann57]

23. How about the Windbags?

Or the arguments? Or maybe the hypocrites. Ah never mind.

[Shakespeare]

24. The DC Sucked Up Money For An Unneeded Stadium While Kids Go Hungries.

Hard to get that to fit on a hat, though.

[welshTerrier2]

25. how about the Ex-Expos ?? (n/t)

[VOX]

26. I'd love to see the Senators come back to life again...

D.C. was always a good baseball town; it was a shame that MLB abandoned it in the early 1970s.
