If the Royals have a blog, so should the Expos.

My answers/Mes réponses

Most Valuable Network

"Oh sure, it’s had a batting leader four times (Al Oliver - 1982; Tim Raines - 1986; ?; ?), a stolen bases leader numerous times (Ron LeFlore - 1980; Tim Raines - 1981-1984; Marquis Grissom - 1991-1992), a couple of Hall of Famers (Gary Carter, Tony Perez), several All-Stars (most recently Livan Hernandez), including an MVP-winner (Hmmm... Carter (twice) and Raines were All-Star MVPs - and Dawson won it while with Chicago), a journeyman pitcher throwing two no-hitters before the team was barely 5 months old (Bill Stoneman), a reclamation project pitching a perfect game at Dodger Stadium (Dennis Martinez) only two days after a work-in-progress pitcher hurled 9 perfect innings (Mark Gardner), only to lose it in the 10th, the finest ever Canadian-born 5-tool slugger (Larry Walker) and a weak-hitting, mediocre infielder that set the all-time mark for getting plunked by enemy hurlers (Rob Hunt - 50 times in 1971, all be right-handed pitchers; Mark Gardner, he of 9 perfect innings fame once hit 3 batters in an inning in 1992). "

Just thought I'd try to fill in the blanks - for those of us who haven't followed them as long.

Someone asked me the other day if I would root for the Expos after the moved. I wasn't sure either. Despite having been to Montreal just once, and going to San Juan, I feel less and less inclined to see them out of Montreal - while realizing that it will help their situation.

Later.

Hi Matt, it's Evan, the owner of Most Valuable Network. Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the Expos blog is not called Most Valuable Network - it's a blog PART of MVN. Therefore when you link to the MVN Expos and call it MVN, you are providing an incorrect link. If you want to link to the MVN Expos, you would link to expos.mostvaluablenetwork.com, and call it "Traveling Expos".

Good to see another Expo blog up here.
