2nd biggest comeback in Expos history.. Down 8-0 and come back to win 14-10. I told a lot of people to watch out for the spos before the season, so I don't want to brag. I just can't believe my spos are now only 2 games out of 1st. The lowest payroll in baseball, and look where we are. 44-23 at home now, and the sad part is, I had dugout seats for tonights game, but I just felt like not going tonight because the weather is crappy here and cold and rainy.. I feel like a big loser now.. They just said that this was the best game ever played at home in Expos history. BTW, anyone cashing in on these home overs in mtl.. 12-1 yesterday, and 14-10 today. They avg about 13 runs a game in Montreal, and the avg total here is about 8 or 8.5. The ball flies out here folks, and a ground ball single anywhere, is a triple here.
Here is a post I made at MW regarding my Spos just 2 days into the season..

[wow, boys, i am not saying this because they are doing well, it is still early i know, but watch out for my spos this year. THey have a young club filled with future stars and a great pitching staff. You will be getting great value with them all year seeing Vegas has NO respect for them. The whole roster is in their 20s, except for 2 players who are 30 and 31. Look out for this team.. We will make a run for it.].

Only 2 games out boys, 2 games. I know the odds are very very slim to win it, seeing they have to still play about .700 ball the rest of the way to have a chance, but it is still nice to dream of post season play in Montreal for the last time in this city, and who knows, maybe we can pull it off before we leave this town. 31,000 fans yesterday, close to 13,000 tonight. Who knows, maybe baseball will be saved now and fans will start pouring out again, and if we do, it will be all because of tonight, cause if we lose tonight, we're 4 games out and it's over. I am very proud to be a Montrealer tonight boys..

Don't talk about '94 please. Talk about a stiff!! We had the best record in baseball, by far. 74-43 record. The world series was ours, and since they striked, the Expos never recovered again, as they had to release all their stars. We were even drawing 35,000 fans a night back then.. That was the beginning of the end for the franchise. What a team we had!!
Man Peteep, i want to like you and all, but it's going to be tough with that handle name you have. You think you can change it? It's too close to sounding like Peep, and you are from Canada too, Ontario to boot, just like him. I just hate that prick so much. He is such a hypocrite, and he knows it. He is the biggest bonus whore in this industry by far, and I have proof, and he has the balls to call me one. I like you and all, but Peteep is too close to Peep.. When i see your name, I think of Peep all the time. I don't like that. Thanks Kid..
Go Expos..

Don't worry....I'm a completely different person. Can't change the name....it's my handle for every forum I visit so I don't want to confuse things. As soon as I registered here I had a bunch of people saying "good to have you back peep" etc. etc. I don't know his story but he apparently caused some waves.
It's ok Peteep, I like you already. Don't worry, I will NEVER confuse you again with the other Peep .. You sound like a knowledgeable kid, unlike the other peep, who is clueless and a great bonus whore from what I hear, and he has the nerve to call me one. I don't mind being called that, but that's like Jeffrey Dahmer calling Timothy McVeigh a big jerk.. He has NO right to tell me that..
I am so freaking out now, it's not funny... I can't believe my Spos are now within 1 game.. yahoooooooooooooooooooo... 9-6 victory boys... 20,000 plus fans, and I have home plate tickets for tomorrow's 1:05pm afternoon game going for the 2nd straight 4 game sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep at home... They just finished sweeping the amazing Giants 4 games straight too..
I have not been this excited in 22 years for my Spos.. This city has gone nuts for baseball again. I am proud to be a Montrealer again boys. 1 game back. If this team is there come post season, I will totally freak out, yet I am not holding my breath.. It's still going to be tough as hell as there are about 9 teams fighting for the spot. We still have to play about .700 ball the rest of the way to have a chance, so it won't be easy. What about the overs in Mtl, anyone playing them. 13 runs Monday, 24 runs yesterday, 15 more runs today.. These overs in Mtl are gold boys.. I hope you are cashing in..
Go Expos Go Expos... Baseball fever is back in Montreal, and I am loving every minute of it.

If Bud Selig was at this game today, the Spos would definitely NEVER move. He would have freaked out what he would have seen. I swear to GOD, I had tears in my eyes today.. 20,000 plus fans that sounded like 50,000... The Expos just completed a 4 game sweep of the the first place team, and also swept 4 straight from another 1st place team at home last week. There were only 5,000 seats sold before the game, and 15,000 walk ins today. I never seen so many lineups in 22 years. Usually the line ups for tickets are 6 feet long, today, 350 feet long. The Spos are now 47-23 at home, and it's even better than that because their home games in Puerto Rico weren't as successful. It's too bad they are going on the road, because I swear, we would have sold out the 4 game series this weekend against Florida, had it been here, and not in Florida. This City has gone bolistic over baseball. Fans were chanting all game, screaming, singing soccer songs. . Everytime there were 2 strikes on any batter, they'd be all on their feet. I have never seen so many brooms in my life.. There were more brooms today than there were in any Home Depot store. A fan even jumped on the field in the 8th, and was carrying a broom, and the place went crazy. He deked out the 4 fat security guards nicely, but then got caught. Frank Robinson said that Montreal fans are the loudest fans he'd ever seen in his life, and this guy's been around folks.. Boy were we loud today.. This city has not felt like this in 23 years. I felt like a kid again, i swear. It was 1981 all over again. Everywhere you go, cars are honking, every radio station is talking expos. Folks, we are in a pennant race.. I still can't believe it. Winning the world series to me would mean way more than any money at RIO I got back. I'd give it all back now to see the Spos win the W.S. before they leave town for good. Who cares about money.. Just once, I wanted to see my team win a world series before I die, and I will never get to live this, and it's a dream of mine.. Fans were chanting sweep sweep sweep sweep throughout the game, it was great. It was like old times again folks... Today was proven that Montreal is indeed a sports town. I wouldn't say a baseball town, but definitely a sports town. We just like a winner, that's it. If we win, they come out. The new slogan here now is "Believer Fever" It has become so popular here, it's not funny. I don't know which genius came up with this one, but it is so stupid. Doesn't even make any sense, but ESPN seemed to love it. Some frenchman for sure came up with this one, and it has caught on.... Folks, this city has gone wild again for baseball. The fans were singing all game and even outside after the game in the parking lots. I have seen games in fenway, yankee stadium, skydome, and I have NEVER seen anything like this. They were so vibrant. It felt like I was back in U.S. again watching a game outdoors, but even noisier.
I am so proud of my Spos folks and more, I am proud to be a Montrealer again.. The city has been hit with a bad case of baseball fever, just like the good ole days. Whoever said the good ole days can never come back, was wrong. Today proved it could..
It's still going to be very very tough to win it, but still, hope is better than no hope at all, as it's never been a sin to dream, which is what makes life so great..
Go Expos..

they were saying the expos were playing inspired baseball because of you, sick gambler!
each player was deeply moved by your steadfast, unmovable passion as you defeated the corporate RIO in your case! they are devoting this season to you SICK!
i wanted to jump out of my chair and scream " i know the- SICK GAMBLER" but i knew they wouldnt believe me. who am i? im only a actor, i never defeated the establishment RIO. but as i left there heading back to my limosine to my mansion, i had a smile on my face because i knew i really did post under SICK GAMBLERS thread.
god bless you SICK GAMBLER

MLB has their backup plan coming into effect now, they were never expecting the Expos to make it this far but now that they have the Expos have to go play their final home stand if Peurto Rico in front of neutral fans. Talk about a disadvantage. Especially when the Expos are so dominant at Olympic Stadium.
Bobby,
You're beautiful man. If you're ever seriously in town, gimme a phone call. I'm taking you out for a nice dinner downtown on me sir.. Montreal McDonald's' make the best Big Mac's, delicious, and not too greasy. Wait till you taste em..
King,
That's exactly what everyone here is mad at. We have to play now in Puerto Rico in the heat of a wildcard race, instead of Montreal. Had these games been now in Montreal instead, I assure you that instead of the 14,000 they will be getting in P.R., they'd be getting 37,000 a game now here because of it being a heated race. The city has gone wild here, and we're all upset now because of this..

sickgambler: I'm with you on the Expos. They stand a chance to win. Livan Hernandez and Javier Vasquez are on the top of their game. Big Bad Vlad is hitting them out like no tommorow (which is somewhat true in the Expos case!).
logansrun:
The Expos haven't been this close in 10 years and back then was a totally different team. This current Expos team doesn't know from years past, all they know is that the Montreal crowd has come alive. The Expos players are starting to believe that they have a chance of winning. History doesn't always repeat itself, example: Tampa Bay Buccaneers in cold weather.

Logan,
They are probably not going to win, as their odds are so remote, it's not funny. They still have to play at least .715 ball the rest of the way, and I figured if they have any chance, they MUST go at least 20-8 in the remaining 28 games... So even if they don't win, it won't be a choke. I am just so happy to say for the first time this year, and maybe the last time ever, that THE EXPOS ARE IN 1ST PLACE RIGHT NOW IN THE WILDCARD. Man does that sound good. I'm still living a dream here.
King,
I am very impressed that you know this much of the expos.. Don't forget kid, El Duque, who was supposed to be their #1 ace this year has been out all year and hasn't pitched yet. Tatis, our star 3rd baseman is out for a long time. And Vlady, missed close to 40 games too. If none of these injuries occur, the Expos are at least 4 games in 1st place IMO..
BELIEVER FEVER BOYS.. (what a stupid slogan)
Someone call 911 please, the city of Montreal has caught a severe case of Baseball FEVER.
