Galley Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 It appears that the final Expos home game will be on Sept. 29th, vs. Florida. :cry: (If only I had enough frequent flyer miles...)

TDQuiksilver Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Not enough funding from the city of Montreal because the team hasn't gotten anywhere in ages? :huh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/221782-mlb-sources-expos-likely-dc-bound/#findComment-584616787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted September 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 24, 2004 but instead of being sold they just play in other peoples fields?

TDQuiksilver Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I'm assuming this means that they are in the process of being sold over to D.C.

Galley Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 The '94 strike killed the team, along with the city's love for Major League Baseball.

Joel Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Even if it is the crappy Expos, I'll take them. They wouldn't be crappy if the travesty that is Jeffrey Loria and David Sampson hadn't been allowed to do what they did. MLB can go screw for this.

Galley Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 They could've at least waited until the Expos played their final home game. Sheesh! (Proud to be an Expos fan since 1977!)

Oh yeah he is getting some compensation. I think they talked about starting a Sports TV network for the area, profits of which will go toward the Orioles Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/221782-mlb-sources-expos-likely-dc-bound/#findComment-584644559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemc72 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Figures. I still find 'compensating' another owner stupid. Maybe the owner should step up to the plate and try marketing his team a little better.

Buzz99 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Not enough funding from the city of Montreal because the team hasn't gotten anywhere in ages? :huh: Wrong. In 1994 Montreal was going for the world series...Bang...A lock out and plyers were sold one by one as a "fire sale". Since then MLB was doomed in Mtl. Nothing was made to get the team better and so on. Canadian owners may not see the moving of the team a good thing. They will sue MLB, J.Loria, Washington State, Uncle Bud (the one who is president of that league :blink: ) and so on. The s*** will hit the fan of MLB....
