The National League Orioles

How about the Washington Yuppies?
or maybe the Washington Doodles?

I can see the uniforms now...with a sXe on the back. :D

Mayor Williams is opposed to The Senators as DC only has shadow senators.

But Negroes don't even play baseball anymore.
With the exception on Jerry Hairston, who is half white, there's not a single African-American on the Orioles.
Why not use some sort of Hispanic reference in the name? A majority of the players these days are Hispanic, and DC has a large Hispanic community...

Tim Raines, Jr. and Darnell McDonald would be very surprised to hear that.

They don't count. They both are and always will be career minor leaguers occasionally called up to plug in injury holes.

Well, they're on the roster, so MLB says they count. Raines has been playing all month, and McDonald is a rookie. If you're an O's fan, shouldn't you know this?

They won't be on the 25 man roster next year, and wouldn't be playing at all this year if Matos and then Hairston hadn't gone down with season ending injuries.

Were you talking about next year's roster? And does it make sense to argue whether they would or would not be playing? They are, end of story. :roll:

man i'm pumped for tonights show with Supergrass and Phaser!

we discussed this at length in my office. i came up with the washington pundits, the washington red tape, and the washington hill staffers. other suggestions were the washington lewinskys and the washington tourists.

They have a combined 114 at bats in 155 games. They're irrelevant.

Maybe to you, but the fact remains that they are black, and play for the Orioles. That's all.

Since Raines and McDonald were already mentioned, Elrod Hendricks is still the bullpen coach.

Cal Ripken Jr is black.

minor threats clearly the best
i always identify the homestead grays with...homestead, the section of pittsburgh. yes i know they played in dc too, but homestead was in their name.
in one sense, rhett is correct, african-americans are at one of their lowest percentages in the majors. however, naming the team the grays is more about the past than the present. i kinda like it

One day there will come a time when us crackers start sueing the NBA for a low percentage of white players.

crazy white folks always suing everyone

Didn't Larry Bird get in trouble for saying something remotely lik that last year?

My senior year of high school Darnell McDonald ran for nearly 300 yards and 5 touchdowns in the state championship football game. He should have gone to Texas to play football.

I'll second that. Plus it's alliterative with Redskins.

Washington Wonks
Washington Lobbyists
Washington Sea Dogs
Washington Lame Ducks

The team should be called the Mosquitos.Washington DC was once swamp land.I also have a Washington DC franchise in All Star Baseball 2003 with the same nickname.Ichiro Suzuki is the star of the team.I also have Mike Cameron,Bobby Bonds,Moises Alou,Rich Aurilla all playing on this exciting team & they play at Aklaim Sports Park which also in Washington DC by a water park that includes a ferris wheel & roller coaster on top of the scorebord.

the greys (thats right, with a fucking E)
minor threats was good...they are the expos...
washington expos
washington congressmen
washington congresswomen
washington representatives.
district dogs
dc dogs
district duct tape
the wahington barry bonds will play us a few times this year.

ESPN sez the new team will probably not be called "the Senators" because the Texas Rangers (f/k/a the Washington Senators, take 2) still own the rights to the name ... after all the hush money they're going to be paying Peter Angelos, I doubt MLB wants to shell out any more just for a team name.
-
Are they going to print "Taxation Without Representation" on their uniforms?
-
DC Comics

THey could get a sponer like a little league team!!!!
the washington pepsis!!!or budwiser or some drink company will happily throw their logo on the uniforms...
-
Washington Crusaders (might as well admit it)
Washington Red-Baiting Socks
Washington Socks the Cat
Washington Imperials
Washington Shadow Senators
But Minor Threat is best

We're not on first, I hope we're not out last
'Cause I know we're all ready for that 4-bag bash
-
THE BULLETS would be the shit. or THE DIPLOMATS. both of those have been used before, but who cares...
-
As long as MLB owns them they'll be called the Expos. New owners will give the new name. That may not be next season.
My vote is for the Washington Snakeheads.

The D.C. Baseball Club
Classy, simple.

I was watching PTI on ESPN today, and the name "Generals" was mentioned. That seems to have some possibility.

No matter what, because it is DC, I think the name is going to reflect government.

I'm surprised nobody has though of the Washington Cicadas. The cicadas and baseball both return in the same year. And baseball left DC in 1971, only a after a previous cicada return.

In keeping with our oh-so-appropriate football team name, let's go with a theme...
Washington Chinks
Washington Wetbacks
Washington Spics
and so on...

maybe a cool way to make the baseball team fit in with the city they inhabit, would be to let them play the entire season, but they just can't play in the world series, no matter what thier record is....
