there's lots of strange sports in the usa.

i didn't use to be into baseball, but have come to see the light. it's actually a quite intricate and complicated sport with tons of obscure rules and heavy-duty strategy.
now golf, there's a boring sport.

sad to see the expos logo go. they should keep the (lame) name.
I was at the dodgers game (one of the few hundred who actually stayed till it was over). pretty excellent. 5 runs in the bottom of the Nth.
saw the Jets v. Chargers in LoCal last weekend. had the best seats in the house, didn't matter.
MLB is great at the park.
NFL is great on the TV.

baseball can be the most exciting sport as well as the most boring sport.
golf is only exciting on the highlights
Texas Holdem is the most exciting "sport"

it's good if your teams good, being in a small market sucks. it's not a fair sport like the NFL is. Parody good; Monopolization bad.

They should be called the "Washington Whiteskins."
I think that would be fair enough.

The Montreal Expos were named after the 1967 World Exposition. Russia was supposed to hold the World Expo but backed out a few years before. Montreal graciously offered to host at the last minute and it turned out to be a great success. The next year Montreal got a baseball team while the city still had fond memories of the Expo.
The Expos were one of the finest franchises through the 70's.
So it would be pretty senseless for the Washington team to gain the name "Expos"

i think the team should not be called the senators. (i heard they were gonna call them that. could be wrong)
before the twins moved to Minn. they were know as the washington senators

The Brewers (my home team) are going to most likely be bought by Mark Attanasio from that prick Bud Selig (and others). I hope so, we havent had a winning season in 12 years.
- JazX0
yeah, dob, well join the club with the Pittsburgh Pirates. If they didn't get rid of B. Bonds, they win a TON more games. They suck just as bad as the Brewcrew.

Any word on the name the team is going to go with? Maybe the Washington Nuculars?!?

soccer is the worst sport ever
now you know that.
- k0na_an0k0
Yeah buy mrd you got that first baseman I believe who is REALLY good. Young kid who competed in the home run derby not to long ago. Or maybe he was in the outfield. Truthfully they are really bad so I don't follow them much. :(
You want a bad team... the Cubbies. Any gambling man will tell you that if you bet against them you'll be a rich man. haha.

weren't the texas rangers the last incarnation of the washington senators? i thought they moved them in the 70s...
and y'all just wait...cubs vs sox in the series this year. should've happened last year.
armageddon is at hand.
- k0na_an0k0
Yes, that should have happened but alas the Goat prevailed.
I actually bet on that the year before in Vegas. My odds were 398 to 1. I bet $40. My friends thought I was crazy. Shit. Would have been a nice payout.

yeah I think the Minnesota Sens became the Washington Sens and then they moved to Texas as the Rangers. You can reinvent a team name though, look at the Browns and the Ravens.

Kona, you ever come up to Miller Park for a Cubs game? Noone parties like Milwaukee, noone.
- JazX0
I have to admit Miller Park is nice, but PNC Park whoops on it. Best Park on the planet. Worst team. :(

come on, you know fenway's the place.
super duper expensive, but it never lets down.
