Expos May Move to DC

It looks like Daniel Snyder, owner of the Redskins, and Bob Johnson(I may of botched his name) new owner of the Charlotte Hornets franchise (Well, I doubt they'll calm them the Hornets) are going to team up and try to buy the Expos and bring them to Washington DC.

 

To me this would make a lot of sense, if they are actually going to go 50/50.

I think DC could support a team if it were to compete. I know Angelos (Orioles Owner) has always said he is against it, but DC and Baltimore are a bit more then 15 minutes away. Its probably a 2 to 2 and a half hour drive during rush hour.

 

The Angels are just an hour from both the Dodgers and Padres.

I'd feel bad for any community that loses a franchise and the Expos took a bigger hit with the 1994 lock out than we did.

 

That said, if the Expos do move, it shouldn't be to DC. They have already lost 2 teams.

 

If they do move, and again, I'd feel badly for the Montreal fans since I know how I'd feel if we lost our Sox, I think it would be a lot of fun to see them in Puerto Rico full time if they have to move at all.
