In the 7th, Paulmac scored In A Park So ore By Jim Hughson, Sportscaster Network Long before Toronto had its Blue Jays, Skydome. and the swelled head that goes with them, the Expos were Canada's link to major league baseball and they're still the favorites of many people across the country. For some they're a sentimental choice because they were here first. Others prefer the speed and strategy of the National League game and others still just can't bring themselves to cheer for any team based in Toronto. The city has had that effect over the years. "The loveable losers of the Jarry Park days in Montreal were hard not to like. At first they were a collection of castoffs, joumeymen and Rusty Staub. How. could anyone dislike a team with John Boccabella and Coco Laboy? By the time the Blue Jays came along in 1977, the Expos had some home grown 'talent and their team of the 80s was not only a favourite at home but all around the big leagues was thought to be the team to beat. ~~ Gary Carter; Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Warren Cromartie, Ellis Valentine and Steve Rogers were part of the bast team in the game. They just didn't play like it, missed a couple of opportunities to go all the way and by 1985 had been dismantled. Now that the 80s have come along it may be that Montreal missed its only chance for a World Series championship. The team they have now could be ely post ever. Problem Js, they won't be together long enough for us to find Boy' s baseball is as much about ledgers as long balls. Cash is More important than complete games. The real manager works in'accounting'and a closer only comes around if the team goes broke. . The Expos have much of the game's best young talent this year but next year they could have a vastly different look. 'A half-dozen core. players are now eligible for arbitration, the process by which young players become millionaires and player budgets really become major league. " Montreal's payroll is about $15 million - or $30 million less than the Blue Jays - and it's not expected to go up next year so somebody has to go. Maybe more thari one. Will they break up the best outfield in baseball of Larry Walker, Marquis Grissom and Moises Alou? Probably. Will they lose, veteran frea agent Dennis Martinez? Most certainly. Will they be able to sign the first aril third basemen they need to-get better? Probably not. They won't be bad but they won't be much better. Good young players who make too much money will be replaced by good young players who don't. It's nobody's fault really. It's just reality. Attendance isn't great nor is the local TV money. 59 the Expos have 1 pay oss if they wank w tum.a pig and, like most businesses, they do. For years the Expos have had the best farm system in baseball They just can't seem to grow in the baseball field of the 80's. It's not just a coincidence that the four division leaders have player budgets at least $12 million higher than Montreal's. In today's game you have to be good enough i win and you have 10 be able to afford it. This year the Expos aren't good enough. Next year they won't be able 1 afford it.

It was Monday (Rick) and his home run that kept the Expos from the World Series in the 80s and now it's money and a grand sum holding Canada's first big league team back in the 90s.
