OT: All-Purpose Expos Return Speculation Topic -- Part Deux

[TRG]

They're not coming back.

There actually could have been a chance this time, had a solid structure already been in place and Bronfman was ready and waiting to pounce on the opportunity. Manfred very openly likes Montreal quite a bit and would probably be willing to facilitate it, but you need a project well in place to begin with.

I remember the Expos first pennant race, a .600 team losing the division title on last game of season in '79. Pirates went to win World Series.

Montreal a .600 team with a great farm system. It looked so rosy. During winter meetings they traded a fringe southpaw pitcher for Ron LeFlore. What a steal the baseball world claimed. It was another Stan Papi for Bill Lee trade Montreal radio was comparing it to. The team of the '80s it looked like. Little did we know we never stole LeFlore. Tigers dumped him instead. He had cocaine addiction and brought that trouble to Montreal. It infected many stars. Which was part of Montreal's downfall.

This stadium is one of the biggest mysteries to me.

It looks ugly, but it also looks like nothing else, and sometimes I feel like the exterior looks kinda good, but again its still ugly at the same time.

This shot looks like its not even planet earth.

It's definitely unique, especially with all the new stadiums looking very samey, to me at least.
