Just read about it on the RDS site ... that's quite a weird idea.
Personally, I just don't see the Expos coming back.
MLB salaries being what they are (!!!), we would be getting CDN dollars at the gate while paying players in US dollars ... talk about a financial disadvantage.
Then add the inclement weather issues early in the season and the fact that the younger generations don't seem to be much interested in baseball ...
Just my uninformed 2 cents. - Garfield512
I guess there's no financial mechanism to help out less profiting teams in the MLB, or to compensate a bit for the CDN dollar?
Heard that some "market studies" have shown that baseball would be viable in MTL, for what it's worth.
As for the weather, a retractable roof sounds like a brilliant idea! lol |

Anyone heard about that "shared custody" idea for the Expos?
I don't like baseball and I know nothing about it, but it sounds like a pretty (frank)ed up plan - Pat1993
They kinda did that with the Expos one year... |

I believe there's a "luxury tax" to give smaller markets a chance to compete with the Boston and New Yorks of this world.
I'm not sure how effective it is as I've stopped watching baseball when the Expos left town. Due to economics, we pretty much became a development team for richer markets and fans got fed up ... kinda similar to what the Senators are going through right now. |

One year, they did not even have a broadcast deal and they did it via the internet.
Seriously, ahead of their time.... |

tried to convince my team to wear them, I don't think i'm winning that battle..
Would have loved to have a uniform that means something, but I have a feeling it will be the Dback red and black one
Its secret...can't complaint, his company is paying 100% of it hehe |
