Poll question: Washington Nationals...what will happen
No that the DC Council has rejected the stadium lease, baseball in DC is looking pretty grim. I didn't mean this thread to start a war over public subsidizing of stadiums, but just curious what baseball fans think will happen

1. Other: Federal money
The Congresscritters love their perks, and a DC ballteam is one of them. Watch for a resolution creating a "National Stadium" and floor speeches about "America's pasttime."

2. Northern Virginia
I'm thinkin they will start looking back to Virginia...Tim Kaine already said they thought something could be worked out...but Vegas is flush with cash, and the Marlins just got the stop sign from MLB to keep them from goin there. Speculation they are reserving it for the Nats franchise

3. Nats will move back to Montreal
along with a ready-made fan base of thousands upon thousands of refugees from Bushovia, so they will rename themselves the "Montreal Expats". :-)
