>I'm sure the Expos won't be the only ones sweeping the Phillies this year :-D. Oops sorry cheap shot. I guess that our city losing a team is making me bitter.

I understand, but fwiw, that's true only on the road. At home, they're quite good. It's really weird.

>>FWIW, this whole idea doesn't do much for me. (In fact, if I were in charge, I'd do away with fans voting for the all-star teams and have the players do it.)

>Really. Considering the ego of these guys you'd probably have one vote for each MLB player ;-D

Back when it used to work this way, I'm pretty sure you weren't allowed to vote for anyone on your own team.

>>I did just read about another idea, though. A group of fans is taking pledges for $15 donations to buy the Expos from MLB. http://buytheexpos.poptopix.com

>Hmmm This looks like a past thread here where it was proposed that VFP could be bought from MS. I give the BuyTheExpos things as much chance as trying to buy from MS.

Yeah, I agree, but I think it's a cute idea. Read about it in my college alumni magazine because the guys who started it are Penn grads.
