All that trouble for nothing. The Isotopes did go to Albuquerque after all. Here's a link to their site: http://www.albuquerquebaseball.com/
World's biggest coincidence.Actually, the team was named for the Simpsons episode - there was a "name the team" contest and "Isotopes" won. IIRC, the mayor of Albequerque was none too amused by this.
