I think they are just mad that the US is "taking" their team or whatever.

But yeah, they could have showed up to some other games for the past like 8 years, and maybe the team wouldn't be moving. Yeah, the '94 strike hurt the team and disappointed the fans, but there are other cities in other sports that have shitty teams that still sell out every game. The fans in Montreal just didn't really give a rat's ass about baseball unless their team was doing well.

Sucks though, cause Montreal is an awesome city, and almost all of the Expo players past and present loved it. Even some other guys, who never played for the Expos fell in love with the city. Ozzie Smith for example.

But yeah, sucky situation altogether.
