The Expos

[simpsontide]

What will the Expos be called when they move to Washington or Northern Va? If they move to Northern Va will the take the Nothern Va name or will they call themselves "Washington"?

What nickname will they take -Senators? Expos? Federals?

Any suggestions and color schemes or logos?

Whaaaa?

Who said anything about the Expos moving?

[Davey]

The Expos are moving next year this is their last year in Montreal. If you dont belive me go on tsn or any sports chanel and search it up.

DC Cabs! DC Cabs!

I would rather have the Expos move to Brooklyn and the Blue Jays move to Washington.

Montreal Expos -> Brooklyn Cyclones

Toronto Blue Jays -> Washington Senators

Baseball is America's passtime, let it be completely so.

[Breakwood]

I think the Blue Jays will be staying just where they are, plus the Brooklyn Cyclones are a team the NY/Penn League (SS)

Right on, brotha! Testify!

I apologize. I did not mean to offend anyone. Here is a more acceptable alternative.

1. Expand to Brooklyn and Washington, leaving the Expos where they are.

2. Expand to Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Ottawa, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Regina.

3. Put all Canadian teams in the Canadian League.

How's that?

Saskatoon and Regina? That's just silly.

[JQK]

I'm used to making stupid Canada statements, but Retro that was just stupid...

I still don't like Canada, though...

No. My idea for expansion in 2007 was posted last month.

Montreal stays , the Brewers return to the AL, and the expansion franchises are DC for the NL, and New Orleans- yes, the Big Easy DESERVES

a MLB team- in the American League.

32 teams, 2 leagues, four divisions, four teams per division...IT ALL ADDS UP!!!!

New Playoff structure: Top two teams per division make the playoffs as Division Champion and Wild Card team Respectavely. Based on team percantage, the playoffs will be based on a 1 through 8 seed teir, meaning team 1 plays team 8, 2 plays 7, etc., until their respective LCS, and WS. Best 2 out of 3 for first round, 3 0f 5 for the second round, and 4 out of 7 for the LCS and WS.

Any questions?

I dont think mlb needs more teams... but under your playoff format I would prefer Division Champ vs 2nd Place team (but then again I'm a sucker for the old NHL Playoff system)

Boys and Girls, are you ready for the

2005 Norfolk Marines?

You'd effin well better be, because Bumblin' Bud ain't moving Les Expos to DC or NVa!

[PackerBadger]

First: The Brewers should NOT move back to the American League. Milwaukee should have been in the National League all along.

32 teams? Sounds fine to me. But ...

Expanded playoffs? WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I HATE the wild card, because it gives a team (including three past World Series champions) that didn't win anything an entry in the playoffs. Adding two more teams and going to four divisions in each league would rightly eliminate the wild card, with division champions playing in the Division Series. Has anyone noticed that Division Series games usually don't sell out? That says that the fans don't buy Bud's expanded playoffs either. And if you've followed the business of sports TV, you may have noticed that the networks and sports cable channels haven't exactly been enthusiastic (to say nothing about radio stations) about televising the Division Series. I'd prefer to dump the wild card and the Division Series and go back to two divisions myself.
