I guess the Senators name is unlikely to be used again, they've already used it twice and both teams moved (to Minnesota and Texas)

How about the Occupiers?

the Crusaders? the FatCats? the Polluters? or maybe something more snazzy like "The D.C. Deficit"?

ok, I'm kidding, lighten up.

The Bureaucrats

If you're looking for possibilities that suggest bloated inertia, nothing tops the tried and true Washington Senators.

Good thing they'll be in the NL; I'd hate to have to root against the home team when the Yankees come to town.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Some suggestions:

Washington Partisans

Washington Impeachers

Washington Lobbyists

...and for those who might want to ladle a little prognostication in with their political commentary:

Washington Losers

 

[Marquis de Carabas]

They could always go with the Washington Generals.

How about Washington District of Columbians? Hey, it works for the NFL's Houston Texans.

Yeah, nothing like a good generic name. How about the Washington Baseball Players...?

 

[HarryKeogh]

nah, still too specific. how about the Washington Athletics...oh, wait a minute...

 

[Marquis de Carabas]

How about Washington Men in Uniforms, Often Holding Sticks?

 

[Suddenly]

Yeah, nothing like a good generic name. How about the Washington Baseball Players...?

Washington Georges?

 

[jj]

How about "The Populists", and they can wear a picture of Ned Lud.

No, wait, how about "The Righteous" and they can wear a picture of Pat Robertson...

No, no, that won't do, how about "...

Sorry, the liberal PC police would burn me for that one, so I can't say it.

Cute. What do you expect, a 0-162 record?

 

[Marquis de Carabas]

Well, if they face them during inter-league play, they can beat the Yankees a time or two. I'd have no problem with that.

The Washington Monuments.

Or the Washington States (that'd screw with the geography challenged)

Bill: Let me get this straight: you took all the money you made
franchising your name and bet it against the Harlem
Globetrotters?
Krusty: Oh, I thought the Generals were due!

I vote for the Washington Huskies.

 

[Tmy]

Did you go to UW???

How about the Truth-Dodgers?

 

[Charlie Monoxide]

I liked Suddenly's "Bureaucrats.

I'd like to suggest the "Washington Pollyannas" or "Washington Platitudes". There's a certain ring to them.

Charlie (think positive about Washington) Monoxide

They could always go with the Washington Generals.

Someone on the radio this morning suggested that. None of the talking idiots caught it. I was laughing though.

 

[Ladewig]

Washington Federals
Washington Feds
Washington G-men
Washington Beltways
Washington Jedgars


Washington Trees (get, it?)

 

[Number Six]

How about Washington: The Baseball Team? Or Washington Senators: The Sequel. (Actually, I think there have been two Washington Senators in the past so this would be the sequel to the sequel).
