rferry Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Screwed by Claude Brochu, then screwed by MLB. Rinse and repeat 7 years later. Now Luis Rivas' foul ball home run. Don't worry Expos fans! Good times coming soon. DC will treat them very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO, he's just saying they continually get screwed. well when your not a good team, you shouldnt expect to get the calls. its kinda liek barry bonds, he is good, so he gets a lot of calls in his favor if the expos were a good team than they wouldnt get screwed...

Libelula Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Just saw it. Looked foul. How is it possible that Wilkerson and Batista saw it went foul but 4 men who get paid to make the right calls couldn't get it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 I just read that Orlando Cabrera complained about the umpires a few days ago. I don't know, do you think the umps could handle 3,763? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB34 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I don't know, do you think the umps could handle 3,763? damn, nice to see the expo fan(s) atleast come out for the interleague match up :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expos Ranchod Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Being an expos fan is the worst thing ever. You people have no idea what we have had to endure over the years. You think you've suffered as a Marlins fan? imagine no WS titles, even more firesales, incompetent GM after incompetent GM, managers who don't care, a team that chokes(see series in FLA last August) when it matters most, terrible draft picks that have led to an awful farm system, owners who don't care, constant threaths of moving, playing home games IN BLEEPING PUERTO RICO, amazingly ridiculous travel schedules and umps who are indeed giving you the shaft every night. I could add so much more because there's been so much more. Almost any other city(except for cities like Boston, Chicago, New York) would be drawing flies if they had gone through the same sh*t over and over again. The disaster can't end soon enough as far as I am concerned. Shoot me. Last night was yet another joke. White Sox fans should be pissed since that could very well cost them the division.

rferry Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Trust me as a Washington Bullets/Wizards and Florida Marlins I feel for you Expos fans. There's nothing wrong with Montreal as a major league baseball town but player's salaries, luxury suite and TV revenue, the exchange rate and the timing of all the misfortunes really screwed the city over. Hopefully when the AAA Ottawa Lynx move next year they choose Montreal and give baseball fans some hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 How has Frank Robinson taken it for so long? I would have resigned. Props to him. Managing a baseball team is a great job. And even if the team dosent do very good they still are good and its a fun job and they probably make more money than you will ever make.

Mark Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Well, I hope that the Expos end up on the east coast so they will continue to train in Brevard. I worked at the stadium last summer for their class A team... :thumbup The Expos were the sh** the strike year, and have slowly fallen off since. There really has been nothing to cheer for, so I could see why the fans aren't coming out to the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Being an expos fan is the worst thing ever. Did you think about the Cubs? I mean there have been great Cub fans who have been born, lived a long time, and died without seeing the Cubs win the WS... That is very fustrating...

nc marlin Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 The last time the Cubs were even in the World Series was 1945 right? Red Sox fans have it worse than the Cubs if you are arguing that coming close and losing is worse than being in the predicament of an Expos fan.
