Baseball back in DC!

I do have a lot to say but I'm too angry right now to post (due to Expos moving AND that Dallas game).

I'll say for now - congratulations to everyone in DC. Take care of my boys!

PS - I'm giving serious thought to relocating to DC. Seems to make sense.

I am absolutely excited about the Expos moving to DC. Growing up in DC, we were always told the O's were our team but they never really took with me especially when Angelos became the owner. Living in San Diego for a few years now, I have become a diehard Padre fan but all my Padres hats are going away because the Washington Senators/Grays/Whatever are my team. I am moving back to DC next year and am looking forward to season tickets to their games in RFK and eventually their new stadium on the river.

Haha, funny stuff. Yeah come on down, even w/ our hellish property values you still get a couple good things (mostly the Skins and the soon to be Ex-Expos)
:httr:

washington grays sounds kinda funky though :( the history is cool, but the name doesn't mesh well... monuments is beyond stupid, hate that.

whatever, step 1 is complete and for right now, that's good enough for me.

What exactly does Grays mean? I'm not too crazy about that name. True, it was a very successful team in DC, but they're not originally from DC. They were relocated from Pittsburgh. Would rather have the name of a team that orginiated in DC. I'd prefer a brand new name entirely

Not sure exactly what it means, but it does have a great history.

if you want a new name, it just better not be the monuments... that just makes me want to break stuff ;)

How about the Lobbyists? They've got all the real power.

I totally agree on this one, I'm all for history, but the name Grays is boring and more importantly, the Homestead Grays were based in Pittsburgh, and only used DC as their home away from home when the Pirates were using Forbes Field. I don't like this choice at all.

I would go with Senators or Nationals or even Federals. Something to connect the team with the city. I prefer Senators with the history though.

Exactly, DC for the Grays is like what Puerto Rico was for the Expos. Just a home away from home

I like Federals. And go with the same colors and logo they used in the USFL
