i've been an orioles fan my whole life, but i used to support the montreal expos because they were so close to me. i guess that was my national league team. i miss them. the big O wasn't the greatest ballpark...it sucked actually, but it was sweet sitting close to the field because of the ticket prices.

oriole park at camden yards in baltimore is a great park. i've been to that one more than any other one and i think it's sweeter every time i go there.

Was also a big Expos fan...and agree that the 'O' was a terrible stadium. However, the atmosphere was actually pretty good there when the team was drawing well (unfortunately the fairweather fans meant crowds of 5K when the team was not contending); nothing like the noise level picking-up, and having those huge concrete slabs start shaking.

Guess you were from upstate??

DP and Oberman were talking about the Expos today... I always thought it was so sad how BOTH teams north of the border got reemed by the 94 strike... The spos were one of the leagues biggest success stories for a couple of decades... then came the strike...

That strike broke my heart, and absolutely KILLED the Expos. I think that was the final act that finally doomed the franchise. It is also why I always look at the Braves NL East run with a huge ***asterisk***, 'cause the Spos had them buried in '94.

Now I cheer for two teams:

Anaheim....'cause of Vlad

Washington....for legacy reasons

Where's "Tailgunner Joe" when we need him?

People that don't care about baseball tend to be Red Sox fans.

They're so accustomed to mediocrity.
