I wish baseball would just give cities like Montreal, Tampa, Miami, Minneapolis, a chance to keep their teams. Find them good owners that have city ties and market them better. Although, Montreal has had many chances for the past 10 years at least they were a farm team (much like the Indians were in my youth).

Sigh. Not enough people actually know about what has happened to the Expos. The Expos were MLB's best team in '94. They were going to win the World Series. At 74-40, baseball decided to go on strike. Whoops.
After that season, it's been a fire-sale here ever since. When I hit the quote button, I felt like describing everything that's happened, but now I'm just too discouraged.
