Yes, I’m excited to have a baseball team in the local area. No, I’m not excited that it’s in DC. I was one of the northern Virginians who was hoping the team would be on our side of the Potomac. I think Virginia is in a much better financial position and has the infrastructure to support a baseball team and build a stadium complex. And I was willing to put up with the traffic snafus on game nights since the proposed NoVa stadium was going to be out my way.

That said, I’m sure that I’ll catch more DC baseball games than I have Orioles games lately. I’m excited to have a National League team here. And I work closer to the city with a convenient Metro station. A 30 minute Metro ride from the office to the DC ballpark is far better than the 2 hours driving to Baltimore (from the office).

As for the name selection, it needs to be better than Wizards, please.
