Kin you believe they is movin' baseball back to Washington, D.C., fer a third time?
Boy, I bet they is excited in D.C. to have a team, especially with the Orioles just a stone's throw away.
Let's face it. D.C. likes its football, but baseball just ain't been that popular. But I think I knows why.
Every time they has a team, they names them the Washington Senators. What a bland shirt. There ain't no marketing process goin' on here. That's why I has a solution.
Here are the top 10 possible names fer the new Washington, D.C., baseball team that will git the fans a talkin' (among other things):
10. The Where Do You Think We'll Move To The Next Timers.
9. The Secret Servicemen.
8. The Capitol Hillbillies.
7. The Big Business Bribers.
6. The Interns.
5. The Marion Berry Undercover Sting Operations.
4. The Ted Kennedy Party Animals.
3. The Impeachables.
2. The Crack House Gang.
1. The Sinators.
