I had the game on as I have pretty much all weekday games lately. It was fun.

Hopefully you'll get a few of those this weekend.

Rams Fanny wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 12:49 pm A couple of recent well-attended exhibition games seems to have spurred a round of revisionist history about the city of Montreal's baseball passion. There are certainly rabid fans there and they worked hard as a franchise to cultivate french speakers while they had a team, but as a whole the city was indifferent. According to baseball-reference, they were never higher than 8th in attendance in the National League after 1982. Some of that was due to ownership, some due to the stadium, but the fans didn't show. April/May was hurt by however far Les Canadiens would go and September tended to be hurt by the team out of the chase. Montreal is a great city with tons to do and truth be told outside of the NHL have never sustained great support for any major franchise (before anyone brings up the Impact, they did sell out their 20,000 seat stadium in 2017, 18,400 ave in 2018, and a little over 15k this year...the trend continues). MLB owners should think long and hard before returning to Montreal on some romantic (Quixotic?) mission.

Let's not get cocky. Y'all could be 11 back when July rolls around. (And still with the 3rd-best RD and 3rd Order Win Pct in the National League.)

I just want to have a reason to care , that’s all.
