First in war, first in peace, last in the National League East?
I don't have a whole lot to say on the subject of the Expos moving, other than to offer my condolences to the Montreal fans. I think baseball in Washington is a fine idea, but it's a shame it had to work out like this for the Expos and their fans. If only the 1994 strike could have been averted, or baseball hadn't done something silly like award a franchise to Tampa Bay, or the owners simply hadn't run the Expos into the ground. A once great baseball city with it's share of history is dead, probably for good, at the major league level. I'm sorry to see them go. ¶ joe | 1:39 AM |
