Quebec/Mtl baseball fans...
 

... do you now cheer for the Washington Nationals as if they are still the Expos?

Couldn't help but notice that they just won their 10th game straight :D

It must suck sort of, to see them now doing so well when they're no longer "yours" eh?

I can relate, having lost our Jets to Phoenix many years ago, and there are STILL fans in winnipeg who to this day, something like 15 years later, still think of them as our team.

I saw two Expos games at Jerry Park back in '76, hard to imagine them no longer part of Montreal.

yeah
still think of them once in a while
wasn't the greatest fan
but i'd go watch them 3-4 a month
just to go out with theboys and drink expensive cheap beer! hehehhe

ahh the good old days

watch every game I can, huge nationals fan now just because I was really a big expos fan.

just like everything else in Quebec,

a failure. :2 cents:

go nats...thank you montreal!

I'm still in mourning. It's only been 9 years btw.

nah... Expos often have a very strong season start.. They are often in first place and winning 10 in a row is not that unusual... But every fucking years.. they underperform at the end and teams like the Braves, Phillies or Marlins pull thru at the end... I can guarantee you they wont make the playoff this year..

Another brilliant quote from the russian cowboy... Wait until oil drops in value.. give it 20 years... Btw.. potable water will soon be the new gold.. We might sell some to you for the "right" price... :laughing-

I don't think there are any Expos fans in Montreal... or anywhere for that matte

What really sucks is when your city's team moves to another city and then they win the trophy. They won fuck all when they were in YOUR city, but now that they're gone then they score the cup.

Quebec Nordiques ----> Colorado Avalanche won the cup in 1996 & 2001

Yup, that definitely sucks. :(

Seems like much longer...

says the guy from Alberta...HAHAHA.... :thumbsup

i am ukrainian. you are a frog, i know its hard to understand.
give it 20 years YA ok. and i will laugh when the oil industry moves onto new technologies and we continue to be out of debt.

:1orglaugh says the guy from quebec whos baseball team left because french people do not work, live off welfare and cannot afford baseball tickets.

ya its REAL funny. :1orglaugh

ya it sucks so much that we have no debt and are the fastest growing city in Canada, also really sucks that all the easteners with any part of a brain are moving here to find REAL jobs and driving are real estate market + my homes' price through the roof.

ya real funny, expos sucked, all the players wanted out of that pond of a city anyway. :2 cents: :1orglaugh

LOL How old are you.. 14 ?

:1orglaugh

the fact you think alberta is fucked in 20 years makes no need for conversation.

So how old are you really .. 13 ?

with a comeback like that i think we have already figure out your age. :2 cents:

start a new thread if you want to talk about alberta i am not debating about it in this thread.

lol you did an edit also. :winkwink: :1orglaugh

I coulnt care less about baseball, and so does everyone I know...that's probably why no one was going to see the expos..because they figured out baseball sucks....not because they couldn't afford the 5$ tickets moron...

Good for you! Glad to hear it. Note that I don't have anything against Calgary...or any other canadian city! you're the one who started babling shit about how Montreal and Quebec suck....I mean it sucks so much that it's usually in the top 10 cities to live in, no matter where you look....
(http://www.travelersdigest.com/best_cities_live.htm is only one example...
even here http://www.citymayors.com/features/quality_survey.html we still score higher than Calgary)...but you are right...montreal sucks soooo much...


i'll say it again...I don't give a shit about baseball....nor the expos...

Like yours is better .. :1orglaugh



Debating "serious" issues with you..? on a new thread? oh my... :helpme :1orglaugh

It sucks to lose a pro team like that, however it was inevitable.
The powers that be refused to erect a proper stadium for a team of that calibre. The effort to keep them here just didn't materialize. I am not losing any sleep over it. And although I do like to watch baseball, it's simply a purely American sport. Most people outside the US and Carribean don't give a damn about baseball.

Montreal is and will always be... a hockey city.

Cause baseball sucks, it's the most boring sport
you should watch a game without drinking to understand how that sport is gay

That's definitely true.

Too bad your hockey team sucks. :winkwink:

What's you team? Oh wait... you don't have one. :1orglaugh

What was the consensus on the Olympic Stadium as far as the Expos playing there? The two games I attended in '76 were at Jerry Park, which I am glad about that I at least got to see the old park before the team moved.

Was the Olympic Stadium not suitable? I forget now, can't recall what the talk was about it. I was IN the Olympic stadium in '76 watching the track & field events, and remember thinking that the stadium itself was pretty damned cool. Why was it not good for the Expos?

I went to a lot of games every year, I mean, you could go 10 minutes late and pickup tickets for 5-10 bucks that you could sit anywhere in the big O with. The location of the BIG O wasn't the best, very poor part of town, but it did have metro access. Look, Montreal didn't have the lobby groups necessary to get government involved. Our mayors didn't do enough, the fans didn't, not enough interest from local businesses, MLB fucking us a bunch of times...etc.. The Big O was fine, but it just wasn't bringing in much revenue, the suites/boxes were really old and just no media/press coverage the last couple of years. Think the folks here are more interested in soccer or F1, or mini putt (no joke).

It sucked when we lost the Grizzlies but I hate basketball anyways,all that's left is the Cannots and CFL

yeah .. i still think i own you...wtf..LOL :1orglaugh
