Vlad was the man I remember when they cheated him out of a HR late in the 2002 season ruling it a ground rule double inexplicably...with out that call Vlad would of been a 40-40 man with the Montréal Expos.

Another in the long list of indignities committed against the Expos. I'm still pissed about that one! Great memory dude!

No dice for Marquis Grissom? He was one of the best CF in the game before his magical mystery tour of the bigs began with a ring in Atlanta. I'm certainly not saying he should have been in the OF, but as a PH at least.
& Al Oliver's nice at first, but Andres Galarraga WAS the Expos.
Finally, you've got Cabrera and Vidro's positions switched (SS & 2B).

D'oh! You are right about Marquis. I screwed up Cabrera and Vidro's positions. My bad... Plus i honestly forgot about Andres. Thanks for the heads up on that! I have been so busy being bitter and angry about
the Expos that I missed the basics that you pointed out. Thanks, TAB! Much appreciated...

Hey Tab, you look like someone I saw in the army and at a summer camp. Do you believe in ghosts! Joel

That's a killer line up that would have all the elements to win it all: tons of speed, great defense, power hitting, great contact hitters, an infield and outfield with gold glove defense and awesome arms, topped off with Pedro at his unhittable best! Potentially that line up could produce eight hitters with 20+ HRs, 4 hitters with 30+ HRs, 8 guys with 75 or more RBIs, 5 of them with 100+RBIs, 8 guys hitting .300! I am impressed with your Expos acumen to compile the ultimate line up that would result in an Expos WS Championship!
