OT: MLB Thread

Chances are Exrays will be rivals to those in their division.

divisional opponents are not automatically rivals (we don't see Buffalo, Tampa or Florida as rivals). My comment was that the Red Sox and Yankees won't see them as rivals. You usually never care about the bottom ranked team and we all know that is where the Expires usually end up.

70 meaningless wins, 92 failures

But according to you, these wouldn't be the Expos; you have stated many times that they are in Washington.

That is true but MLB baseball teams that play in Montreal by definition are losers and go 70-92

Actually if a team goes 70-92 it equates to about a .440 win %. The Expos all-time record is higher than that.

Wins: 2755
Losses: 2943
Win %: .484


It is also interesting to note that from 1969 until the lock-out of 1994 the Expos lost 90 or more games only 4 times. But from 1995 until the end in 2004 when the Expos were in what seemed like perpetual fire sale mode they had 5 seasons with 90 or more losses.
 
I also query as to why a poster who despises mediocrity in the Canadiens willingly accepts same in the Expos and would accept it in the Exrays
 
Because baseball is not hockey. Maybe if I were a Yankees fan I'd be more demanding. I'd have reason to be, just as Habs fans do. The standard for the Expos is different.

Already about 65,000 tickets sold for two-day #BlueJays - #Reds series in Montreal, right on track with last year. Huge showing.

You have no standard for the expires.
You laugh at the Cowboys being mediocre. Expires would die for the Cowboys mediocrity.

Different team, different standard. In reality an Expos team playing in the AL East would only have to be better than the Blue Jays in order to be playing up to my standards. I don't care how many they lose, just don't lose to Toronto.
