Founded in Montreal, Quebec in 1969, the Montreal Expos was an expansion franchise that became the first major league team in Canada. Their success rate then made the Major League Baseball think if the team should be shut down, along with either the Minnesota Twins or Tampa Bay Devil Rays. They left for Washington and became the Nationals in 2005. The name Nationals was the same name used by other previous baseball teams in Washington. The name Nationals is used interchangeably with "Senators". The team was nicknamed "The Nats".

Until it was sold to the Lerner family, the legal name of the team, despite being popularly known as Washington Nationals, was Baseball Expos, LP.

This move was met opposition from the Orioles. The Baltimore Orioles have been the only Major League Baseball franchise in the area of Baltimore to Washington. Peter Angelos considers these areas as a single market. Possible financial problems were the reasons for this opposition. As a deal, the Major League Baseball decided to give the Orioles security by letting them handle both the television and radio broadcasts. The Orioles formed another network, the MASN and it was not immediately available in cable. The deal calmed the Orioles; however, this made the Nationals as the only member of the Major League Baseball who doesn't have their own broadcast rights.

Important Moments and Achievements

The Nationals have once won the East Division championship, in 1981 when they were still the Montreal Expos. The Nationals managed to win one CY Young award, two Rookies of the Year awards, two Batting Championships, and three Earned Run Average championships.

Washington Nationals recent news:

Washington Nationals fired five coaches, Manny Acta's staff, after the last season. In the last season, the Nationals finished last which brought the Nats to 'overhaul' Acta's staff.

The Nationals have first stated their interest in hiring Willie Randolph as a bench coach of Manny Acta or third-base coach. Personal issues were brought up regarding this, but Acta's friends have stated that the latter will not be affected by tension.

The Nationals are in need of starting pitcher. It is still yet to be known if the team can acquire a free agent or if they have an interest in trade-ins.

Will the Washington Nationals show a new 'Nats' to their fans? The fans are anxious to know the plans and how these changes will affect the team's performance in the next season. Will this coming season be the season for the Nationals?

Accomplishments and important moments:

The team has been on a losing streak since its inception. It has not enjoyed any form of success until 1991. Even the, it was a small victory. It wasn't until 1995 when they won their first division championship and defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series that they gained any prominence.

In 2001, Seattle Mariners managed to share the record for most wins in a single season at 116. However, despite their recent spate of successes, the AL Pennant championship has eluded them, and they remain as one of the four teams never to have played in a World Series.

Pitchers in the current roster:

-Sean Green

-Miguel Batista

-Roy Corcoran

-Erik Bedard

-R. A. Dickey

Seattle Mariners recent news:

In more recent games, Seattle Mariners' performance has been disappointing. They did not manage to shake off a slow start. With injuries and key players away for off-years, the team has now lost 101 games. Obviously, the pressure is mounting.

Mariners president Chuck Armstrong's response is a much needed one. In a recent one hour interview with MLB, he revealed his strong intentions to stay and work with the team until it achieves the success that it has enjoyed half a decade ago (from 1995 to 2003).

The team's poor performance has forced its management to re-look and re-think its battle plan. A long term strategy is needed. Armstrong is quick to admit that patience is key here. Therefore, he is in no hurry to locate the ideal GM candidate. The GM must be able to come up with fresh perspectives and help the team solve its problems and regain its former day glory.

A whole list of over 60 potential candidates have been selected. Out of this list, only 10 have been short listed for interviews. The list will be further whittled down once the interviews are over.

If Seattle Mariners are able to take the time to do every job in a similar fashion, success should just be a breath away. One can only wait with anticipation.
