OT: MLB Thread

I finished the book by Usereau The Expos in their Prime.

What a totally dysfunctional clubhouse back then, no wonder they never won.

Drug use appears to have been rampant (Raines, Scott, Valentine, Lee). Most all hated Gary Carter.

Larry Parrish was the glue that held the team together. Once he was traded, it was all downhill.

The author quoted a scout claiming that Ellis was superior to the Mute but the Mute would likely go to the Hall of Fame even though Ellis was a more sound player than the Mute who never wanted to get better nor learn the game.

Going to be exciting, just wish it wasn't a preseason game. But what can ya do. I will be wearing my expos jersey and dragging my wife. She is just going because I told her there will be all kinds of cool food to get unlike at the bell center which has disgusting hot dogs, soggy fries and a slice of pizza that is the size of your palm that the grease drips through the plate.
 
Watching clips about the Expos on TSN... man was that team screwed by MLB. Right up to there last season....
 
A NY yankee scout at the time told Joe Kerrigan that the Expos that year were by far and away the best team in baseball...they could beat you any way

One aspect no one mentions as much as the other aspects is that unreal bullpen...Weteland, Rojas, Shaw and Scott...wow!

Thats like 4 closers

they were good that year for sure but I still am not convinced, given their history of failure when it counted up to that point, that they would not have found a way to choke away the WS (assuming they go there).

IIRC, food at Olympic Stadium was no better except the popcorn was way saltier

The big O had actual chains inside. KFC/Kojax/ , Briskets (which was the best), ice cream etc..You could actually get a normal size non greasy piece of pizza.
The Bell centre has the worst food in any stadium or nhl arena I've ever been to, and by far, and the biggest rip off too.
