DC Baseball: Because your taxes aren't high enough
Speculation on where the Expos will set up shop next year are at a fever pitch, with D.C. emerging as the likely favorite. Wherever they go, they most likely won't be called the Expos, and some have suggested the D.C. team shouldn't be called the Senators since it would be the only team with a hometown that doesn't have any. I'd like to be of some help by proposing alternatives.
The Washington Councilmen: Same idea as the Senators, but more locally politically correct. Given recent developments, it could bring to mind those great sensations associated with baseball: the smoke from hot dogs on the grill and the crack of the bat.
The Washington Generals: They're gonna suck, so why not take the name from a team designed to lose?
The Washington Lobbyists: A possibility severely restricted by uniform considerations - your average pinstripe suit provides a range of motion insufficient for modern sport.
The Washington Snakeheads: They scare the hell out of us more than two inches of snow during the morning commute. Might this intimidate other teams?
The Baltimore-Washington Orangebirds: Suck it, Angelos.

How about being direct? The Washington Appropriations.
Why limit the team to *just* DC? Include the whole region with The Potomac Valley Sludge!
