Montreal Expos What happened??

It was actually a combination of low fan support and poor ownership support. Back when the Expos were a decent team they couldn't fill up that abortion of a ballpark called Olympic Stadium. The owners wanted to move for years but were locked into a lease with the stadium, so they quit putting a good team on the field. Some big names have played in Montreal, but were traded or cut loose as soon as they were going to cost any real $$. Finally a few years back MLB had enough and tried to contract the league by getting rid of two teams, Montreal and Minnesota. Minnesota responded by making a run at the world series. The contraction plan was eventually thrown out the window and the other team owners with MLB bought the Expos and operated for at least one year in Montreal until a plan to move them, ultimately to DC, was developed. They finally, this year, had finalized a deal to sell the team to a DC based group.

I was at the Metrodome back in April and all I can say about this new ballpark - it's about time.  The Metrodome is a piece of junk.  There is absolutely nothing to do there except watch a game.  I go to a ballpark, and I want to be able to do more than that.  All I saw at the Metrodome was a ball field and seats.  BORING!!!  I hope all goes well with this new ballpark.  If it does, maybe I'll head back up there for another game.

I was around and remember it well and it was very exciting to watch.\n\nWhen Canada lost the first game in Montreal by something like 7-2 it was very depressing for all hockey fans because we all thought Canada would destroy the Russians.\n\nThe one thing most people don't talk about is that the series was held in the fall before the NHL season started and most of our players didn't train as hard in the off season as they do today.\n\nThey were not really in top form like the Russians were and there is no doubt that they took the Russians too lightly.\n\nPhil Esposito was the leader of that team and he played great as well as the others when they went to Russia.\n\nWhen Canada lost game 4 in Vancouver and the were booed by the fans Esposito lashed back at the fans saying how disappointed he was with their reaction, when he was interviewed right after the game.\n\nWhen game 8 was played many people including my brother and I took the afternoon off work to watch the game.\n\nWhen Paul Henderson scored with seconds remaining and Canada won everyone went nuts.\n\nThat first series was the by far the most exciting and while there have been some good games with the Russians since 72 nothing can really compare to the first time.

This is all I could find from the St Louis Post-Dispatch\n\nIt happened on the September the 3rd\n\nTWINS' 6-RUN 7TH BEATS ROYALS \nSt. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)\nSeptember 4, 1988\nAuthor:  Associated Press \nEstimated printed pages: 1\n\nMINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Pinch-hitter Jim Dwyer's two-run single off relief ace Steve Farr capped a six-run rally in the seventh inning Saturday, lifting the Minnesota Twins to an 8-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals.\n\nThree pitchers, including loser Jerry Don Gleaton (0-3), failed to get an out in the seventh.\n\nThe rally included Kirby Puckett's 100th run batted in of the season and 400th of his career.\n\nSingles by Al Newman, Dan Gladden and Tom Herr made it 6-3 and chased starter Bret Saberhagen. After Jeff Montgomery yielded Puckett's RBI double, Gleaton relieved. Kent Hrbek blooped a two-run double down the left-field line to tie the game.\n\nGleaton hit Gene Larkin with a pitch, and Randy Bush loaded the bases with a bunt single. Farr relieved and, one out later, gave up Dwyer's line drive to center.\n\nFarr has failed in just six of 22 save opportunities. \nEdition:  LATE FIVE STAR\nSection:  SPORTS\nPage:  3D\n\nIndex Terms: BASEBALL PITCHER GAME FAILURE\nCopyright (c) 1988 St. Louis Post-Dispatch\nRecord Number:  8803200762

Are you kidding me!  I have a ton of confidence in them this year.  Did you see our players at the Classics game?  They kicked A$$.  The Blue Jays can't touch us!  Even though Johnny Damon left (He was my fav, its depressing), we've got a great center fielder.  They're going all the way!!

I was surprised to hear Mike & Mike on ESPN admit that the NL East race is over...it was nice to hear the Mets get the respect they deserve!  If you listen to a lot of other media outlets in NY, the Yankees are always on top: Mike & The Mad Dog are complete Met haters, even the local news channels (channels 5 & 9 specifically) lean towards the Yankees.  And it's killing me now that people are saying that the Mets are winning because a former Yankee (Randolph) is managing.  The Mets are unstoppable right now, and will probably have 5 or more representatives at the All Star game, so I hope that gets them a bit more respect.\n\nI couldn't deal with the biased media anymore, so I got XM, and I have to say that the coverage there is pretty even.  I do admit though, that I'm biased myself...what Met fan wouldn't be?!  =D

The Tigers got stiffed, big time.\nThe pitchers The Tigers gave up\nare Major League pitchers and will come\nback to bite us in the rear end.\n\nWouldn't it be ironic if Gary Sheffield hit a walk off homer in the 7th game of the 2007 ALCS to beat the yankees?\n\nNow, I would find that funny as heck!

You read it correctly! Righty gets pulled after Blalock grounds out!!\nNo doubt about it. Sadly, he jumped Tracey for not hitting Blalock and the whole world gets to see it because his lack of in-game emotional control in the dugout was caught on tape for the whole world to see it.
