1. Another sad turnout
and they spent a lot of $$ on their team this year. Jerry Remy was saying that they have quite a bit of talent but that they have performed poorly so far. He was wondering whether the Toronto manager would be around come June.

3. First Montreal, now Tornoto...
...it is just that Canadian cities can't support baseball? (and, yes, I expect to be assaulted with sharpened maple leafs...)

6. True...once somebody does the skate around with The Cup...
...it's back to baseball...that still doesn't explain why they have to play Expo games in Puerto Rico.

7. To be honest and no offense to Canadians
But I think we should move the Expos and Bluejays to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic (trust me, there WILL be turn out there) in exchange for a Moosejaw hockey team.

8. Crowd for the most recent game in Puerto Rico: 8,494.
Of course it's Les Expos, but still...8,494?

9. Maybe it's Toronto's lack of decent mascots

11. They should just go on the road
in the states until Hockey season is over. There's lot of cities that might never seen major league baseball otherwise. Hell, they could probably get local underwriting.

My introduction to big league ball was hawking programs for free adminission (after first bundle) to the exhibition games they used to play at Tad Gormely stadium in N'wawlins.

It couldn't be amy worse, could it?
