It means that Jeff Luria is the most undeserving, lucky bastard crapweasel in the world.

For year after year, he screwed the fans, players, and city of Montreal by starving the team of money. The resulting decline in quality of play led, not surprisingly, to a decline in attendance, which Luria then used as evidence of the "need" to move the team. When that didn't work, he finagled a deal with his pal, Bud Selig, to have Major League Baseball buy the team, then let him take that money and buy the Marlins, which he viewed as a more valuable property. In a final screwing of the Expo fans and players, Selig then scheduled twenty "home" games for Montreal in Puerto Rico. Despite this added burden of travel, the Expos stayed in the wild card hunt until late in the season, and - in a nice irony - averaged higher attendance in Montreal than in Puerto Rico. Selig continues to try to move the team, regardless.

Of course, the alternative after tonight's inevitable Yankee win will be George Steinbrenner. The Evil Empire Vs. The Ultimate Carpetbagger. I'll pass.

Good economy of words.

What do you think of the Raven's owner again?
