Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2016460, member: 1969"] Some of you just need to be hardened as a sports fan. My favourite team of all time was and will always be the Montreal Expos. From poor ownership starting from 1990-onwards. budget spending, loss of all stars for nothing, the 1994 strike when we were the best team in baseball. This lead to apathy - most games not on TV towards the end. 22 Home games moved to Puerto Rico. Jeffrey Loria and Bud Selig bending the remaining fanbase over. People looking down at me as a fan as if it was my fault -- I was hardcore to the end, showing more loyalty and had to work harder as a fan to follow them. Finally the agony ended in 2004 when the team moved. Being a Syracuse Orange fan is not that bad in retrospect. [/QUOTE]
