I had written a rambling and badly-written bit about the Montreal Expos' upcoming move to Washington, D.C., but I squelched it. Partly, it was because of how poorly it was written. Mostly though it was due to this wrenching feeling that, if the circumstances were slightly different, it could have been my favorite team, who were the Expos' partners in "contraction" during the winter of 2000-01.
So I can't write an appropriate eulogy for a team that I feel a twinge of guilt for seeing become what could very likely be the third incarnation of the Washington Senators, a team that "died" twice before. Especially when the Senators' first incarnation became the Minnesota Twins, whose three-year reign in the AL Central I am currently enjoying.
Montreal, you deserved better than you received.
