Should make things interesting. You have at least 4 teams in a 5 hour radius.
A little baseball with your politics sir/mam?
ROFL. The Expos actually weren't losing money. With the luxury tax money they were MAKING money.
How about the Washington Feds? Fans can call themselves "Fed Heads."
This ticks me off big time. The O's will be under financial pressure again, while all the corporate sponsors move to Washington, and the transient Washingtonians stay home and watch preseason Redskins games from their living room. Muck the politicians!!
Take me out to the ballpark
Take me out the game.
Buy me a new car a Cadillac
I dont care if it's red or it's black.
So its loot loot loot for the Home team
it I can't drink it's a shame!
Cause I'm Ted, Ted, Ted Kennedy
At the Ol' Ball game
Great news.
This will be good for both clubs. It will force the Orioles to compete for fans and by so doing force them to put a more competitive team on the field. That will draw more ticket buyers and TV viewers.
And the Expos aer clearly better off in DC than continuing the bad situation in Montreal. I am sad for the fans of Montreal, such as they are, but they weren't exactly supporting the club.
I thought we already had a baseball team? (Mariners)
(sarcasm\)
Holy smokes, I wouldn't drive a $440 Subaru along the banks of the Ann-Accost-Ya for fear of carjacking...
Anything to hurt that Castro-loving Angelos is good for me.
It's hard to see how this will be a moneymaker for MLB. You're going to split attendance and tv viewership between two urban areas, and DC's is far more affluent and populous than Baltimore.
It would have been more interesting to bring the Expos to San Juan, Havana or Santa Domingo. Those areas would bring back real competition to the sport. (anti-castro feelings on FR not withstanding)
