It's hard not to root for Ian Desmond and Drew Storen, who had some nice quotes in a Gazette article about the Expos. Desmond was the last 1st round pick and Storen was a former Expos batboy (his dad played in the same minor league system as an Expos coach, so Drew got to be the batboy in some midwest cities).
31 years ago yesterday: Steve Rogers beats Steve Carlton for the second time, sporting the best jersey/hat combo in MLB history.
I tuned into the last two innings -- the first time I've seen as much as a pitch involving the WalGnats since the Expos left Montreal. I was feeling so down when it looked like the game was over but right now I am absolutely ecstatic.
Just got back from the bar, watching the game. My friend and I were going crazy when Washington lost.. no one else in the place cared, but whatever. **** WASHINGTON! YESSSS!!!!
I hope that is their Blue Monday moment that tortures them for decades as their hotshot young team fails to get over the hump (which is essentially what happened here).

As much as I enjoyed this, Loria and the Marlins deserve that fate far more.

It almost felt that way. I saw that and thought "wow the Expos curse is alive and well!".
