First of all... that was awesome. I live in Iowa and watch via MLB.tv on my xbox and they showed the entire post-game celebration and interviews. Something I won't soon forget (and hopefully will see 3 more times this year).
Secondly... there's no such thing as backing into the division title. They won 96 games and kept ahead of the Braves (no easy task). They were determined to take the division in the 2nd half and did everything they could. I hate the Braves with a passion... but hats off to them. We just won more games, and that's all that matters. They can now focus on the post-season and come out firing on all cylinders.
Thirdly... I want to say how proud I am of the DC fans. This was the best place for the Expos to go. A great baseball city with great fans that really needed this type of season to prove it to anyone who had doubts. I couldn't be happier that the Expos moved to Washington. The sting of the 1994 season has always lingered after all these years... but I feel that pain as a fan going away. Because here we are. NL EAST CHAMPIONS
Now on to the Series...
