OT: MLB Thread

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Some here still suffer from Xpoitis. There's no salary cap in MLB, just a luxury tax that the new D's owners clearly don't care about, which they shouldn't since they bought a team in the second biggest market. If the deal doesn't work out they can just go buy some other players.

Stuff like this always makes me pine for those times in the early 80's. I lived and died with the team back then.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Of course there is irony in "invading" Rogers Centre given the explosion of the Blue Jays in the mid 80s pretty much removed the Expos from the national tv/radio picture and the Blue Jays didn't even give an obligatory no vote to the contraction of the Expos.

BTW, did Big Owe join that Jonah guy at the Rogers Centre?
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I can't understand how anyone would hold an Expos event at a Jays game (or whatever it was supposed to be). As you aptly pointed out, the Jays voted to contract the Expos. Unfortunately, none of it registered with the numbskulls who were at Rogers Centre, nor for that matter, those who have adopted the nationals as their favorite team. Whatever.

The logical place to meet would be in Montreal, naturally, and barring that, anywhere else but Toronto.

Was there a more logical ally for the Expos, than the Jays? I'm sure a lot of Montreal fans continue to resent the Jays in what was easily their most arrogant and shortsighted move.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Not just that, I remember the old Expo board at fanhome where ExpoFan hated the Blue Jays, called them the Blow Jobs etc even though they weren't rivals.

But they were going there to see Guerrero. Sounds like things got rolling and they just went ahead with it anyway, even after Guerrero left the Jays.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I hope we have a finish to this season like last year. That was something else.

The usual suspects pissing on the Expos and their fans. Quel surprise.

Not pissing on the Expos. Just that the only "leverage" an Expos fan has left, is ditching the Jays. We'll agree to disagree with those who don't buy into the concept.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Well I live in Toronto, so I follow the Jays because that's the only team I get to see on a regular basis. After a while you just become resigned and cheer for them. Although its not like when I followed the Expos. If the Jays lose I only get mildly disappointed.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Orioles in their throwback uniforms , getting all their offense via the homerun. I was looking for Earl Weaver in the dugout.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Pretty bad call last night by the 1st base umpire to end the Orioles-Yankee game. Cost the yankees the tie and the chance at a win.
