Until 1200, the Maldive Islands were a peaceful Bud hist island kingdom, then they allowed Muslim traders to settle, and now, in 2010, it is against the law to worship any other religion besides Islam. How did this happen? Could this happen to European nations? To the United States. Only throwing this question out to see how it is answered. Not looking for hateful commentary, just curious how a peaceful island people changed their religion, when much of their early civilization was a peaceful one under Buddhism, Were they forced to changed religions?

If you ran the Nationals, who would you keep, trade or just outright release. I ask, because as a disappointed Nationals fan with this lack of action by the Nationals(Werth was alright, Matt Stairs and Rick Ankiel-is terrible) Then the lousy trade with Oakland, that sent Willingham away, and not resigning Adam Dunn(strikeouts aside, he gave fans some fun with the home runs). So, I am looking forward to some realistic answers. Thanks for the feedback.

What about these cities getting a team? League?

St. Louis-add an American League team to this city, it had one in each league until 1953

Boston adds a National League team to this city, it also had a team in NL until 1951

Philadelphia adds an American League team, it had one until 1954

The above are because these cities were two league towns at one time-now for the other cities

Nashville, TE

Louisville, KY

Indianapolis, In

Buffalo, NY

Jacksonville, Fla

Charlotte, NC

New Orleans, La.

San Antonio, Tex

Las Vegas, Nevada

Salt Lake City, Utah

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Montreal, Canada? restore a franchise to this city

Vancouver, Canada-place a National League team in it since American League is in Seattle.

Letting Adam Dunn go was a ridiculous move, and while I have heard some claim that they now will have a chance to play a younger first baseman, the point is, Dunn was a fan favorite, who played well. The Nationals are just an investment for the Lerner family, it is no wonder the architect of the Braves success from the past decade or two Stan Kasten left this organization of purposeful mediocrity. If you disagree, then answer me why you think Dunn leaving was worth allowing by Washington's front office.

Mine are:

1. Arsenic and Old Lace

2. Bringing Up Baby

3. The Palm Beach Story

4. Out of the Past

7. Murder My Sweet

8. The Maltese Falcon

9. North By Northwest

10. On the Waterfront

All these are before 1960, i have other top 10's for later years.

I am a National's fan and am interested in seeing what others think about the team, and who they should trade for, and trade to get talent they need.

I am a Nationals fan and we keep hearing the hype about him, just curious about what those who have seen him pitch live think about his skills.

I am a Nationals fan, and i was driven bonkers listening to his logic and watching him manage here in Washington-just curious as to what Cleveland folks think of his leadership.
