What's in a name
There are several debates as to what to call the new Washington D.C. baseball team. The Expos is already out as that was not a good name in the first place. The Senators, Generals, and Grays are all ok names. Some of the humorous names suggested so far are Lobbyists and Gridlock. My own humorous suggestion is since they are naming everything else in DC after him, we might as well call them the Reagans. I personally like animal names and would suggest Badgers or Caribou or Howler Monkeys. But cat (tigers, lions, panthers, etc.) and bird names (blue jays, eagles, cardinals, orioles, etc.) seem more poplar than other animals so maybe Bobcats or Eagles (appropriate for Washington). Regional names like Marlins or Yankees are ok as long as they are not boring (Texans) or stupid (Devil Rays). Stupid names in general are bad like Wizards or Magic. Since they got rid of the Bullets for being too violent, maybe we should bring back some violence into the situation by calling them the Gladiators, Daisy Cutters, or WMDs.
