Still, the Nats and Raps both eventually reached powerhouse status and clawed through the years before making an appearance in the big game. The Nats need to complete their story, while the Raps already have. Even if the franchise has existed in a short time, it's still a short story nonetheless.

Yet they have zero Expos merchandise on sale in the team store.

They have more Senators stuff on sale, and they're not even related to the Senators.

Geez. This looks like the the 1966 series, with the Nats playing the part of the Orioles, up 2-0 heading back home for the next 3 or just 2.

Hmm, the Nationals have been doing better ever since they wore those Expos throwbacks in July.

Coincidence, or sign?

On the other hand, the Astros are doing worse since they needed to fired their Asst. GM once he'd taunted female reporters. This happened as the Astros Ass-tros celebrated in the locker room after defeating the Yankees last Saturday night. But there is much more to the story....

Another sad thing is.... if the Nats do win the Series, this distraction will be used by tons of excuse making idiots to explain the upset.

And of course the memes about Washington baseball will be buried. Much like the Blues. (Gosh that was such a great Cup series)

If the Nats win of course

Yeah that would be nice. Seattle would get a nice rival. I do wonder how Montreal would work. You can't really name them the Expos again can you?
