Thanks again!

Of the two, D90 or D300, the D300 has a far superior AF module (the same one the D3/D3X has) for shooting sports and with a Nikon vertical grip attached can shoot up to 8 frames-per-second (7 fps without the grip).
Even better is getting the new D300s because of the improvements to the EXPEED image processor, dual card slots (backup) and video too.
If you can justify the additional expense the ISO capabilities of the D700 surpasss the D90/D300/D300s, but since it's a full size sensor you would loose the 1.5x crop factor of a D300/D300sand would have to crop images made with your 70-200 f/2.8 even more than you do now.
The 70-200 f/2.8 is really to short for field sports, but many balk at the price jump to get to a 400mm f/2.8 ($9000+).
