First I'm not a huge baseball fan, but to me the Montreal Expos were by far the coolest baseball team ever. They're the MLB equivalent of the Hartford Whalers with such a cool logo, team name. It was a shame to see all the crap that happened to the expos since 1994 and ultimately leading to their demise in 2004.

Having said all that, what makes anybody think anything will be different? No downtown stadium, still a joke of a system in terms of not having any sort of hard cap, there's also still a prevailing attitude toward MLB in Montreal that I think most people simply quit following the sport and are still very upset with MLB. I just don't see what has changed in 7 years to indicate that a baseball team in Montreal would be a success after the debacle that occurred.

Bud Selig, Jeff Loria, the consortium and the Big OWE can all be credited with the expos death, but at some point people in Montreal decided to let them go too, by no longer supporting them.
