Expos No More

With the Expos moving from Montreal to Washington, D.C. I figure that a new name will be in order before too long. Washington Expos just doesn't have that ring.

One possibility that I think they should entertain is to return to the Senators name vacated in the seventies, but Tommy says that they probably won't do that since there's an NHL team by the same name and they'll want something unique.

I've got a proposal.

They should call them the Washington W's.

Their gimmick could be that midway through the second inning they take control of the pitchers mound, left field and the press box and declare a victory, leaving behind a team of replacement players to continue the game.

Of course their mascot would be a monkey in a business suit and cowboy hat that chain-smokes Marlboros.

Imagine the possibilities.
