I can see the uniforms now…with a sXe on the back. :D
Mayor Williams is opposed to The Senators as DC only has shadow senators.

Why "Grays"?

How fucking uninspiring is that?

But Negroes don't even play baseball anymore.

With the exception on Jerry Hairston, who is half white, there's not a single African-American on the Orioles.

Why not use some sort of Hispanic reference in the name? A majority of the players these days are Hispanic, and DC has a large Hispanic community…

Tim Raines, Jr. and Darnell McDonald would be very surprised to hear that.
They don't count. They both are and always will be career minor leaguers occasionally called up to plug in injury holes.

Well, they're on the roster, so MLB says they count. Raines has been playing all month, and McDonald is a rookie. If you're an O's fan, shouldn't you know this?
-Wingnuts
-The Sleeze Wheedlers
-The Go-Go's
-The Red Lines
-The Senators
-The Non-voting Delegates
The Washington Reagan's
The Home-Rulers
Washington Fugazi
They won't be on the 25 man roster next year, and wouldn't be playing at all this year if Matos and then Hairston hadn't gone down with season ending injuries.

Were you talking about next year's roster? And does it make sense to argue whether they would or would not be playing? They are, end of story. :roll:
