Amen, the I'm for anybody over the Yankees.

I think I'm going to plan a trip down to DC this summer and if the
fans there are cool with me wearing my Expos hat then maybe I'll
become a convert. But will they have Molson and poutine? Alas,
probably not. What about Youppi? Is he part of the package?

I have a suspicion that I will be instituting a personal boycott of
baseball. I may keep an eye on the Washington team just to see if they have
an ownership group that intends to be both responsible and committed to
putting a strong product on the field two thing that were consistently
lacking with the Expos since the Bronfmann sale.

I read something about Youppi NOT being part of the package.

FOrget baseball, it's just Rounders with a few additional rules and
the only people that play Rounders are English School girls.

Cricket, that's the ticket.

Agree. Been manipulated, lied to and literally abused
by previous 'Spos ownership I'll likely start watching
a new sport all together. I love baseball and play it on a
regular basis (except for Winter), but to watch or attend an MLB game..
probably never again.

You guys are just agreeing back and forth lately -- it's ... weird.

I live in a two-team market, so there's no avoiding baseball here. I'll
probably watch plenty of Giants and Athletics games. I'm also an Angels
fan, just as I was before, and will watch Vlady.

I was watching Ken Burn's great Baseball film series the other day and
got to the "Ninth Inning" (1970-1993). They have an interview with Bill
Lee and he mentions Youppi! I hadn't noticed that in the previous times
I'd seen it. Just another reminder ...

The Washington Post reported that Youppi would be coming to Washington.
I've been wearing an Expos hat in this area since 1973 and see no reason
to stop.
