Well, they have to complete the game. Actually, the Astros started this game in DC and get to finish at home. If anyone is getting it stuck to them, it is the Senators.

I think the rule allows a continuation in the other city but it is not required. It makes sense in this instance as the Colt 45's will not visit the Senators again this year.

If you're a forward-thinking kind of guy, you could call them the Aztecas, since they'll be playing in Monterrey, Mexico inside of five years.

There were other things that hurt them. Felipe Alou being fired. The team not being able to afford a new ballpark. Jeffrey Loria abandoning the team and stealing all their scouts and coaches. Bud Selig wanting the team contracted. Making it to the top of the wild card race in August of 2003, then going on a huge downhill slide because MLB wouldn't let them call up one player. Playing home games in Puerto Rico, including a three game set against the Blue Jays on Canada Day. It's great that at least they were able to last as long as they did. |

The original Senators are actually in Minnesota so that is a true statement...

The Browns became the Orioles.
The first Senators became the Twins. The second Senators became the Rangers. The Expos became the Nationals. Last edited by bob jenkins; Fri Jul 10, 2009 at 04:42pm. Reason: let's not go off on that political tangent again |
