Great to see the various supporters of individual teamings coming out, after a winter of hibernation. It seems certain that the Expos will leave Montreal and head to the DC area, or perhaps Portland,(a long shot). A bad stadium and the Cdn dollar didn't help the situation. Even my beloved Blue Jays could eventually be headed for a similiar fate. Even with the new baseball agreement, the gap between the have and have nots will probably stay the same, which takes away from the integrity of the game. Economics rules the roost in all pro sports. At least this season for ball fans, there's no threat of a strike, so it will be business as usual. My name for the new Washington team would be the 'Bushers'. They've failed twice before to support ball down there, so what has changed? Anyway, good luck to all fans of major league teams, and let the games continue.
