Bullpen,

I went to a Nats game in Toronto with a red Curly W cap on. The Montreal fans that were there made sure to yell "F you", which I found disheartening. But I didn't yell back about attendance, because I think I understood how they felt. I didn't have a hometown team for 20+ years, and rooted for the Yankees just to piss off Orioles fans. So, I'm glad you have games to watch a team you feel connected to.

I wonder if those guys actually showed up at the Olympic stadium once in a while.
People in Montreal seems to be blaming everybody but themselves (and like I said, I'm from Montreal).
It was the MLB's fault, Loria's fault, the governement's fault...
Never mind the fact that there were 3000 people in the stands in the middle of summer.
I believe that those who really care about baseball will (and have) moved on.
I hope that one day I'll be able to go to Washington with my son even though parts of me will be sad when I'll tell him :"you know, a couple of years ago, this team was playing in our city".

(by the way, I'm french-canadian, so excuse my english)
