Spring training is always the best time of year for baseball. I think other than the playoffs it might be the best time. Baseball is one of those sports where every year offers new hope and a chance for improvement or redemption. The last season is in the past and players come with fresh attitudes and desires. There are so many stories of players who bounce back after horrible seasons to put up fantastic numbers in the new year. Watching comeback seasons like Jason Giambi and Ken Griffey Jr in 2005 or to see the new homes and the opportunities they provide like when Doc Halliday finally was freed from the chains that were the Blue Jays at the time. I also look forward to seeing who is going to be the first pitcher to ring up a no hitter of perfect game. The personal accolades in baseball keep us coming back every year knowing there is an opportunity for new greatness. Who will stand out this year? I don’t know but I can’t wait to see. Who will turn a great spring training into a stellar season? Who is merely teasing us and will flounder this year? It’s why we watch! Game on and Bring Back The EXPOS!!!!!!

Go Expos! They would have won it all in that strike year. This time of the year is hopeful because everyone remains undefeated, so hopes have not been dashed yet. A season full of promise.
The Expos were robbed. My heart bleeds for poor Larry Walker and Moises Alou. Walker is the Canadian who should have a World Series ring.
The Expor was one of the carismatic team in the past two decades, i remember a Vlad Guerrero whe he play in montreal, for that time i was just a little child from Venezuela admiring "latinos" players, such a great time with Vizquel and Alomar in Cleveland, Galarraga in Colorado. Manny also in Cleveland.
