MONTREAL -- Quebecers want to bring Major League Baseball back to Montreal, according to results of a poll announced Tuesday. Jared Spurgeon Jersey . The poll of 1,589 people taken by Leger Marketing showed 69 per cent were in favour of baseballs return to the city. Only 11 per cent were opposed, and those mostly due to what it may cost. Partial results of the poll, which was commissioned by the Montreal board of trade as part of a feasibility study on getting a team, were announced at a news conference called by the Montreal Baseball Project. The project, spearheaded by former Expos outfielder Warren Cromartie, is hoping to revive major league ball in a city that saw the Montreal Expos leave after the 2004 season to become the Washington Nationals. They said 40 per cent of those polled were ready to buy tickets for up to $40 each, while the average MLB ticket price is $27. Board president Michel Leblanc said the poll results convinced the board to continue work on the project. He said results of the feasibility study are to be made public in November. Leblanc said his talks with baseball officials reveled a new, downtown stadium would be preferred if the city is to get a team. Cromartie said three potential sites downtown have been identified, but he preferred not to say where. He said his talks with Major League Baseball officials have been "very positive," but that there were some still opposed to a return to Montreal. He confirmed that his group and the Evenko entertainment company will organize a tribute to the 1994 Expos, which led the major leagues with a 74-40 record when the season was cancelled by lockout. Most of the players on that team are expected to attend. It is to be held March 29 at Olympic Stadium in conjunction with a pre-season game between the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets. Cromartie said its important that the game draws a big crowd to show baseball that the fans want their team back. Fans can also buy tickets to a dinner and cocktail event at which tribute will be paid to Felipe Alou, who managed the Expos from 1992 to 2001, and former pitcher Claude Raymond, the first Quebecer to play for the team from 1969 to 1971.

PETERSBURG, Fla.PORTLAND, Ore. -- Long after all the fans had gone and the turf was being vacuumed of confetti, Real Salt Lake was still celebrating its Western Conference championship. Aided by a boom box, RSL players sang and danced as they headed for their bus following Sunday nights 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers. The win gave Salt Lake a 5-2 aggregate advantage in the two-leg conference final. It also gave the team a spot in the MLS Cup against Sporting Kansas City on Dec. 7. "Its a good win for the team," said Robbie Findley, who scored the only goal in the second leg. "I think everybody put in the hard work, and when you have that, when you have all the guys committed to working hard and doing their jobs, you win games. We feel good right now, but we have one more to go." Salt Lake, which won the league championship in 2009, took a 4-2 lead two weeks ago at Rio Tinto Stadium in the first game of the conference final. Salt Lake has been to the playoffs for six straight seasons, the longest active streak in MLS. It lost to Seattle in the conference semifinals last season. RSL advanced to this years conference final by eliminating the two-time defending league champion Galaxy in the semis. Sundays victory extended RSLs unbeaten streak against Portland to 10 straight matches. The Timbers remain winless against Real Salt Lake since their first meeting when Portland joined MLS in the 2011 season. Portland went into the match with just one home loss this season. The Timbers were looking to become the first team in nine years to come back from a two-goal shortfall in the second match of an aggregate-goals series. Portland appeared to score off a corner in the 15th minute but the goal was waived off by the referee because of a foul in the box, frustrating the sellout crowd at Jeld-Wen Field. Findley had a rebound goal in the 29th minute. The RSL reserves spilled off the bench to join the celebration on the sideline, while Timbers first-year coach Caleb Porter looked on with pursed lipps. Minnesota Wild Jersey. . Portland had a second goal nullified in the 33rd minute when Futty Danso was called offside by the linesman. "If Portland scores the first goal, they have all the momentum, theyre on their home field, theyve got their fans behind them and I think we would have been in a really, really tough place," RSL coach Jason Kreis said. "If we score the first goal, now its three goals, now they get a little desperate, some heads are hanging and theres some frustration involved. So great that we got the goal. Probably wasnt the prettiest one weve ever scored, but well take it and I thought we handled the match well from there." Porter said the officiating wasnt to blame, but he couldnt understand why the Timbers first goal was called back. He called it a "phantom foul." "Im left scratching my head as to what he saw on that play," Porter said. The Timbers outshot Real Salt Lake 18-7 for the match. "You could see their maturity, you could see their experience," Porter said about Salt Lake. "And they did what they needed to do." Salt Lake was without striker Alvaro Saborio, the teams leading scorer with 12 goals this season, because of a right hip flexor injury that also kept him out of the first leg. He did not travel to Portland. Salt Lake defender Chris Wingert was also out because of a broken rib and collapsed lung from the first leg. Meanwhile, Portlands top scorer, Diego Valeri, had struggled with an adductor injury, but practiced at full speed this week and started. Sporting advanced to the final with a 2-1 victory over Houston in the second leg of the Eastern Conference final on Saturday. The teams played to a scoreless draw in the first match. Its Sportings first trip to the MLS Cup since 2004. The Timbers finished last season 8-10-16 for eighth place in the conference and 17th in the league.
