Does this mean that Norfolk is out? How will we survive without all the extra traffic? What will our surplus tax dollars be spent on?

Toronto next? That would please me. No more Canadian baseball teams. They hate us. Leave Delgado behind in Toronto though.

I thought Quebec is the most highly unionized province in Canada with a gravy train full of benefits? So why would the Expos' union want to leave Montreal? Or is it a language barrier? Hmmmm...

As a frequent "bleacher creature" at the old Griffith Stadium, I believe the actual name of the Senators was the "Washington Nationals," surely an odd apellation for an AL team. But if they keep the 'spo's affiliation, it will fit just fine. All we'll need then is a big "National Bohemian" sign in the outfield.

Great, I love it. Now we don't have to worry about our players being booed when they play in Canada.

I think the team should be one that should reflect recent history and give a nod to the local Baltimore Orioles!
Therefore, I nominate the team to be named...
The Washington Swallows!

I think DC's the correct move, albeit risky. Northern Virginia's such a boring, suburban, cop-out, amorphous blob non-choice that no one gets excited. All those "disappointed" fans can just as easily go into DC for the game.
Deal with RFK for a few years, but absolutely build a small, friendly retro park right in the middle of the capitol... on the Metro, and within walking distance from K street (or at least a short cab ride). Tear up some of the crappier neighborhoods near Union Station, say. MAKE IT EASY TO GO TO THE GAME!!!!
Bring back the old Walter Johnson-Senators-look, go retro all the way. And F**K PETER ANGELOS, MAKE HIM SQUIRM.

Great- another baseball team that the District won't support. What is this, the third team they've had?

Weasal boy Peter Angelos will have his lawyers prepare the lawsuit. The Orioles owner is the biggest stumbling block to getting a team in DC.

Better leave all the guns up north, fellas. But crack will be plentiful in DC; count on it.
