Bud Selig: Montreal 'excellent' choice for return

[navamind]

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig can see Montreal bid to return to majors - ESPN

"We tried to keep a team there."

The Tampa Bay Rays of Montreal.

No expansion. If anything drop the worst two teams or move the Rays to Nashville where the baseball fans are.

After hearing this report, Bud Selig asked everyone in the room "Who's this Bud Selig idiot?"

Bud Selig is a good candidate for the retirement home.

They will never drop the two worst teams because the union won't allow it to happen. I don't think putting a team in Montreal is a good idea either. Nashville probably makes sense since that area doesn't really have a team in the area.

MLB is a bit more profitable than people think, even the smallest markets often make a good sized profit. Contraction isn't going to happen for a long, long time.

Are you and the other 19 baseball fans there enough for a team?

They should put a team in NJ. It'll never happen but that area can easily support one more baseball team. Charlotte would be a choice before Nashville.

Yeah, no football or hockey fans either. Pro sports suffer horribly in Nashville and baseball isn't the overwhelming favorite sport. You're right. Obviously you know a lot about sports here.

Great country music there.

"Great" and "country music" are oxymorons.

"Bro country" is pure bullshit. If you hate it as much as I do, being here is hell. A bunch of fifty-something douches walking around in cowboys boots and curled-up cowboys hats.

I was on assignment in Nashville in 1999, there was a trade show at the Opryland Hotel.

I went downtown (near where the hockey stadium was) went into a bar. They had a huge TV screen, but there was no baseball, hockey or basketball or football on, its was bull riding.

The white girls there weren't as friendly.

That sounds like a great city to visit. I'll put it on my bucket list.
