now that they're called the nationals, how long before mlb moves them to the AL?

I'm sorry to see the Green Party activist who bumrushed the podium at the naming announcement was NOT Ron Artest.

D.C. really sucks at naming teams. Nationals/Capitals/Wizards???

Don't forget the BULLETS!

And the Potomac Basin Indigenous What-The-Fuck-Evers.

FOGGY BOTTOM!

I liked the Washington Bullets names. All of DCs other team names have sucked though (except the Redskins whose name is just beyond sucking into the realm of superhumanly awful and bizarre at the same time.)

I like the Redskin color scheme, though. Maybe, to save the colors & kill the embarrassment, they can change their name to the Washington Bacon Cheeseburgers.

The Washington BLTers has a nice ring.

the bullets were baltimore-based first, though.

as for the skins, they should change the helmet logo back to the 60's "r" and call themselves the washington servicemarks. washington's legal population would applaud!

i like "nationals" just fine. the logo is pretty weak and i'm not wild about the proposed unis or resurrecting the "w" hat given the current political climate.

So the Nat'ls are going to play in All-Star uniforms throughout the season?

three weeks pass...

linda cropp, political genius?

maybe?

especially if tony williams doesn't run, she's got to be a favorite if the mlb accepts the newly amended proposal. she could then claim responsbility for holding mlb accountable to the people of dc AND bringing a team to dc.

a lot of ifs there, though.

― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 16 December 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link

Stephen Brunt, who I view as a pretty smart analyst, was on the Fan yesterday talking about this. (Weird to say, but I lived one street over from the Brunts as a kid; we played street hockey. Lost track of him after high school, then one day he was everywhere sports-related.) He said that for the longest time, right up till six months ago, he was certain Montreal would never get another team. He's revised that, and now he thinks it will happen.
