Hi there,
How's it going? :-)
I just thought some of you might be interested to know, that there
is this great sports site that recently got started a few months ago
(about 8 months old to be exact), who are looking for some
knowledgeable posters, to help fill the void. It's a really friendly
community, and the people who are behind site, are extremely
friendly and helpful. The site covers everything sports...including
general forums, and off-topic areas. But, I just thought I would let
you know this, in case you're interested.
Here's the link to the site where you can reach it:
FORUMS PAGE: http://www.ptpsportsnetwork.com/forums/index.php?act=idx
Anyway, I truely appreciate your time, and courtesy. I hope you take
the time to join
Thanks! :-)
take care,

EXPOS MAKE A TRADE WITH THE NEW YORK YANKEES
ACQUIRE NICK JOHNSON, JUAN RIVERA and RANDY CHOATE
The Montreal Expos on Thursday traded right-handed pitcher
Javier Vazquez to the New York Yankees for first baseman
Nick Johnson, outfielder Juan Rivera and left-hander Randy
Choate.
Johnson, who hit .284 with 15 home runs and 47 RBIs last
season fills a big hole in the Expos' lineup. Rivera was in
57 games for the Bronx Bombers and hit .266 with seven home
runs and 26 RBIs and will compete for a starting position
in the outfield.

1- The Expos have never announced that they would be moving. There is
a committee set up by Major League Baseball looking at a "permanent
solution" to the Expos, since the former owner, Jeffrey Loria, sold
the team to the other 29 baseball owners in 2001, in order to buy the
Florida Marlins. They have not yet decided on a permanent solution.
This year, of course, they have played 22 "home" games in Puerto Rico.
2- A good source for Expos attendance is
www.canoe.com/Baseball/attendance.html
3-Best players: Vladimir Guerrero, National League MVP for the month
of August
Jose Vidro, second baseman
Livan Hernandez, pitcher
Best players ever:
Hall of Famer Gary Carter
Andre Dawson
Tim Raines
Dennis Martinez (who pitched a perfect game)
4- The Expos have nevere been to the World Series. They won the
National League East in 1981 but lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS.
In 1994, the Expos were in first place in the National League, when
the season was cancelled due to a strike. The Expos then sold off
their best players and have had attendance problems, bad onwership,
and weak teams ever since.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the group. I'm writing an article about how
the Expos MIGHT be moving to DC for my school paper and I've been
looking on the net for information about the Expos and it's
impossible to get my questions answers. I thought it would be easier
to ask fan's, so here I am. If you know of any good sites that could
help me or you know the answers of my questions you would be a huge
help!
1-When did they announce that the expos would be moving? Why?
2-Attandence stats
3-Good players (now and in the past)
4-Ever been to the World Series and won?
5-any other interesting facts...
Thanks ahead of time if you can help!

Though my PC died a few weeks ago, I am still getting updates to the
group in... They might be a day or two behind, but something is
better than nothing :)
Also added some new pictures from spring training....
I live in PA and am a huge Expos fan even though they don't attract the
attention as such teams like the Yanks. They will be competitive this year,
they may not win the division but they might sneak in as a wild card. Vlady
is one of the best, if not the best all around baseball player in the major
leagues and Wilkerson can have a big year if he don't have any injuries or
bad breaks. No matter if they win, lose or move to another city i will always
be a fan of them.

WoW Iowa didnt even think they had fans in the U.S but i was wrong.
Thought they had acouple and thats it. Ya well i'm a met fan and the
METS have more people they just 2 in the stand they sell out most
there games. People in montreal could care less about montreal
baseball sucks neways. I dont think expos will do as good as last
year...

I'm a fan.
I don't go to the games because I live in Iowa.
The team might surprise this year. Maybe make the playoffs. The
Braves pitchers are old. The Mets will fall apart like last season,
but the Expos are a solid ball club.
We lost Bartolo Colon, but we gained El Duque (kind of a downgrade).
But I think the team will improve. They got 2nd place last season.
Look for Vlad and Wilkerson to have big years.

Is there 1 expo fan out there because i know thats all there be is 1
fan if that. Feel sorry for the team. Unfortunetly it will go to a
better place then montreal maybe washington but definetly will be
going somewhere next year or next 2 years whenever they get a
plan... They cant keep playing for 1 fan in the stands they dont
make any money that way. Makes the team look like crap when there is
1 fan. Its ashame that there no real fans. I think all the fans that
come are for the other team. NY METS VS EXPOS most of the fans are
met fans and only there to see the mets. They should just burn the
stadium down and put up a parking lot thats how bad it is....
