2019 World Series - Astros vs. Nationals

[Boxcar]

Dunning Kruger Effect.

 

Wait wait

 

The Expos played a lot of home games in Puerto Rico. That means Puerto Rico's only ever MLB team won as well!

 

Tons of firsts tonight

Always special when an older team wins the championship.

Lerner just flashed the money sign to Rendon.

Yeah, 50th anniversary, sweet!

Glad to see another canadian team win the world series

Like Montreal is in Canada

[Jimcanuck]

Strasburg.... the right choice

[Orgfiller]

Should have been Co-MVPs with Soto but fully deserved for Stras.

[Dick_Pole]

It's clear to me that a winning business plan will be dropshipping some China-made Expos 2019 World Series Champs ripoff hats to desperate Canadians.

Yes, because the connection between Montreal and the Nats is strong and deep.

Won 70 bucks on a fiver for straus winning mvp

These 2019 Nationals and all their camaraderie and dancing and celebrating every little thing with smiles and hugs, actually reminds me of the 2011 World Series Cardinals and their 'happy-flight' clubhouse mantra. Edited October 31, 2019 by Beans

Pedro Martinez just congratulated Montreal and Canada on MLB Network and mentioned the Expos legacy... so there, nyah!

[Spanky99]

I have a feeling that *Grienke look on the bench* is a meme spreading like wildfire on the interwebs, lol.

Pedro knows! Vasgersian brought up the Expos too, seconds after they clinched the title.

Harper's "bring a title back to DC" slip up is going to have some momentum in the next few days.

[Omar]

Well that didn't take long....

he is such an ass. This off season will be fun. Could be better if Strasburg opts out

[Carlos Danger]

When the Ravens won the Superbowl they still had Browns players on the Team and the same owner and No one said the Cleveland Browns won the Superbowl. However, guys who are so desperate to find something to waive the flag about, even if it is has the Fluer de le and not the Maple Leaf on it, thinks this is a great moment for Montreal and Canada.

 

Here is a good article about the Browns, Ravens and Colts. One of the first guys in the comments section makes a great point also.

All I heard in relation to this team was how many years since the Senators and finally Washington has another WS X amount of years later. The context was that Washington had finally won another WS.. References to the Expos were as a statement the team used to be the Expos. No one is debating that. What we are debating is that a team from one city in Canada from 2004 has anything to do with the 2019 WS Champions in Washington, DC.

[TheHurl]

My thing about the Expos, and I was a big fan who travelled every year for games, is that Montreal never takes any blame for the team leaving. It was the MLB, it was the owners, it was the stadium.

 

The fans allowed mismanagement, language politics happen by not caring about the team. This includes the early 90's Montreal doesn't deserve a baseball team and if they get one it will fail within 10 years

I prefer my Cornholio meme, but this is trending right now, says Twitter:

EXPOS/NATS WS CHAMPS!!!!

Strasburg is very likely to opt-out, if only to get a couple more years tacked on to his current deal. He has 4 years/$100M left. Any team would give him more given he's only 30.

 

Looking over his career stats, he's actually put together a very good career thus far.

 

112-58, 3.17 ERA, 2.96 FIP, 2.4 BB/9, 10.6 K/9, 36.7 bWAR.

 

The hype for him as a prospect was absurd so that's probably why he goes unnoticed, but he could put together a HoF case in the upcoming years.

He's actually 31 and just put together his first full healthy season in 5 years. He'd get more than 4/$100m, that's for sure, but he won't get Cole money.

So you must agree that Tampa doesn't "deserve" a team either right?

This article says he even put on a Boras hat!

Savage move. That said, I would give up something of great value for the Jays to sign this guy up. One can dream.

Haha, what?

Nats losing their franchise player in the off-season, getting in as a wildcard then beating both the best teams in the NL and AL on their way to the title is going to go down as one of the all time great playoff stories!
