if Expos won World Series in 94 do u think they would have moved?
- Feeling_Glucky

They would have won, those buggers stopped it because who would watch the Expos

Probs would have bought a few more years though, then b'bye.

true but they were really good and when strike happened was when they were in first with league's best record..
- Feeling_Glucky

They would have never been able to afford to keep that team together.

How many Expos players voted in favour of the strike?

No he did not. Here is a list of some reasons.

- terrible stadium location
- people in montreal did not give a (frank) about them
- owner(s) did not want to spend money

and at the end of there run no one from Montreal no one from Quebec and no one from Canada wanted to buy them. So why should the league keep a team in place where nobody wants to keep them there?

Then why are the Blue Jays still around?

Someone needed to pick up the doormat/laughing stock of MLB.

Stadium is in a good location. Get average attendance (once they start getting 501 people at games they can worry). And they are willing to spend a bit. And Rogers owns them not league and having to play have their games in Puerto Rico.

The Royals and Astros say hi.

Walker said he would take a home town discount.

I think a new stadium would have been built.
- Feeling_Glucky

Doubt it. It would have been debated, models shown to the media and no way that project would have gotten off the ground.

I'll give you the Royals but the Astros were actually relevant in the last 10 years.

Hello Cleveland

True. There are a few more but I'd say the Jays are not close to being the laughing stock of the league. And for the record I'm not a Jays fan.

Didn't they make it to the ALCS a few seasons back?

Hmm.
- pete26

Relevant but not championship material.

oh ya 2007 but late 90's when they were half decent.

55-94 no playoffs

At least it brought us this.

Serious question about that guy. Is he a real rapper or is he a radio host who dabbles in laying down some sick beats and rhymes from time to time?

They haven't been like the Pirates of the last decade but are certainly teetering on the brink of jester status.

He's a real rapper I think. I know he's not a radio host though.

I dunno. I see many things wrong with them... even though as much as I want to see them succeed... I can't help but see many flaws.

Location... yeah, it's right beside the tower and makes for a defining city skyline/photo op, but it can be a cluster(frank) for families around the GTA to park/attend there.

Attendance... since they have been sucking longer than the Leafs, noone care, ergo, noone goes anymore.

Spending... we all know Toronto has money up their yinyang so they could buy a championship at anytime... but they wont.

This is true.
