I'm not that much of a baseball fan, but I was looking forward to seeing the Senators again and would have gladly gone to a lot of games based on that alone.

As long as my Orioles aren't hurt by this, then I could care less.

With the climate in D.C. these days, I guess we should be on our knees praising God it didn't turn out to be "Internationals" or even worse "Transnationals"!
Senators is the name. Screw the incompetent nit-wits that couldn't figure that one out.

Should be the Senators.

IIRC weren't the original Senators,now Twins, often referred to as the Nats?
Seems to me they were, but I'm getting to be advanced into geezerhood and can't say for sure.

Since they are not a national team, "National" is pretentious, in addition to being unimaginative & rolling off the tongue like phlegm.

I bet the Nationals will win a World Series before the Cubs do.

The name "Senators" is still owned by the Texas Rangers, believe it or not. "Nationals" has historical significance, as the Washington team actually had that name officially between 1901 and 1956.
I can live with it.
