While I love the Orange, the sports team that is (was) my greatest passion will always be the Montreal Expos.

Think a few poor seasons is difficult as a fan?     The best way I can explain being a hardcore Expos fan is this.    You were on death row for about 15 years.    Your low paid legal aid assistant was trying to constantly save you from strong prosecutors with endless resources.  And that legal aid was successful at first, only to drag out your existence for 10 mostly depressing years.   Then you were killed.

The first message board I joined was an Expos board and I picked the name of an obscure middle infielder for no real reason -- it just came to mind -- Junior Noboa.   People called me JN, so that is the name I started to use for other boards.

The Expos board actually was extremely busy (late 90's to early 2000's).   Many active and funny posters, the serious stathead types. some Montreal media posted there using their real name, Dustin Hermanson (Player who actually posted on the net he had been traded away before it was announced to the media).   A fellow mod there at the time was Jonah Keri, before he expanded his horizons into sports writing.

By the way,  the Washington Nationals.
