    Re: An Expos fan converting to.... *drum rolls*

    I thought the problem was that the Expos didn't have any fans.....

      Maybe they did...just not at the ballpark. Kind of wish this would happen at Wrigley for a year, although not to that degree.

          Sorry man, the bandwagon is full.

          Seriously though if you want to be a Red Sox fan just do a little research so you can name some players on the team before 2003. (without looking them up on the internet) I don't mind casual fans rooting for the team because they are doing well and they don't have another team. What I can't stand is the people who just root for the frontrunner, or the entire AL East for that matter. In your case you have a legitimate reason to find a new team. I know if one of my favorite teams moved away, I'd be doing the same.

                  From everything I've read, the Expos had a great fan base but people stopped going to the games because of the Expos ownership over the years and especially for what MLB did to the team. They had the best record in baseball back in 1994, did they not? Then the strike hit. They come back and dismantle the team to the point they'd have a tough time competing again. Fans didn't forgive the owners or MLB. I don't blame them honestly.

                  NFL: Cincinnati Bengals
                  NCAA Hoops: Xavier Musketeers
                  NCAA Football: Miami Hurricanes
                  NHL: Calgary Flames

                          I'm sorry to hear that. Have fun rooting for a team that won't make the playoffs as long as the Yankees and Red Sox are on top.
