...baseball's Washington Nationals, that is--or "Nats" for short (it's not used in the article itself that I could see, but it is in the link to the article from ESPN's front page).

There, now that the inane "We can't call ourselves the 'Yanks' because that's the name of a baseball team" argument also applies to our small-annoying-bug nicknamesake, can we PLEASE stop calling the team the "Nats"?? Those of you who use it can't possibly have any ********ing idea how ********ified that name sounds.

LOL. I always thought we should just call the team "America". Or just "USA". But make others ask what team or what sport, don't tell them beforehand. That way, people will eventually assume that when USA is playing, its the men's soccer team.

Personally I always liked the Expos name. Oh well, it's only baseball.

The name is whack. I think the Washington Senators was better.

I wish to apologize for my previous posting. I was watching Beavis & Butthead reruns while drunk last night and have not yet recovered all my lost IQ points. :p

Team America?
With qualification for the 1986 World Cup looming, US Soccer and the NASL had decided to create a team of American players for the 1983 season. On paper, “Team America” would feature the league’s best American players, moved to an expansion franchise playing a regular NASL schedule in Washington DC. This would give the U.S. Soccer Federation the proving ground to select a national team capable of qualifying for the World Cup.
In fact, Team America was an unmitigated disaster in 1983. The better American players had flatly refused to leave their current clubs, and the result was a poorly put together side that finished last in the league, averaged almost 13,000 a game at Washington’s RFK stadium, and disbanded at the end of the season.
