Should make things interesting. You have at least 4 teams in a 5 hour radius.
A little baseball with your politics sir/mam?
ROFL. The Expos actually weren't losing money. With the luxury tax money they were MAKING money.
How about the Washington Feds? Fans can call themselves "Fed Heads."
Thanks.. from one who remembers watching the original Senators (the ones who moved to Minnesota) in the old Griffith Stadium.
Round here we got the Tigers and the Lansing lug nuts.
"Hey, how bout them nuts"
This ticks me off big time. The O's will be under financial pressure again, while all the corporate sponsors move to Washington, and the transient Washingtonians stay home and watch preseason Redskins games from their living room. Muck the politicians!!
Want some beer with them nuts?
Take me out to the ballpark
Take me out the game.
Buy me a new car a Cadillac
I dont care if it's red or it's black.
So its loot loot loot for the Home team
it I can't drink it's a shame!
Cause I'm Ted, Ted, Ted Kennedy
At the Ol' Ball game
I don't, but I did see them in RFK when I was 5. I actually don't mind a team going down there, even though I'm a huge O's and Ravens fan. I actually want Angelos to sell the team. He destroyed the once proud legacy by firing John Miller (radio announcer) and picking up Albert Belle!
How about the Washington Daisy Cutters? Has a nice, summertime, baseball feel, don't you think?
hopefully the national league will be better for the Nats. Hopefully a third time is a charm
Nice thought, but given that the Washington Bullets were forced to change their name . . .
Now that is clever. I would send that to whom ever might be taking team name ideas. I know when the Titans came to Tennessea they allowed the people of the state to decide the name.
Perhaps they will do this for the baseball team?
Twice in fact... they were originally the Baltimore Bullets
Great news.
This will be good for both clubs. It will force the Orioles to compete for fans and by so doing force them to put a more competitive team on the field. That will draw more ticket buyers and TV viewers.
And the Expos aer clearly better off in DC than continuing the bad situation in Montreal. I am sad for the fans of Montreal, such as they are, but they weren't exactly supporting the club.
Financial pressure? ROFL....
Angelos will be getting a cut of the ticket sales, merchandise sales, and cable TV deal of the Washington team..unbelievable sweetheart deal for him.
I thought we already had a baseball team? (Mariners)
