On the heels of an attempt by the Washington D.C. city coucil to shake-down Major League Baseball (Baseball in Washington in jeopardy) , it looks like the Montral Expos might not be moving to our nation's capital after all. That is of course the bad news.
The good news? We may not have to endure the worst team name in major league sports after all.
You have to love this bit of egotism from the city council:
Council Chair Linda W. Cropp proposed the amendment, which was approved 10-3 after she threatened to withhold support from the overall package, which then passed In a 7-6 vote.
"I am not trying to kill the deal," Cropp said. "I'm putting some teeth in it because I'm really disappointed with what I got from major league baseball."
That's right Ms. Cropp. This is indeed all about you.
