Does that mean that Philly gets credit for Golden State's NBA championships?

No, the Warriors franchise does. Why would the Sixers? Philly only has claim to one Phila Warriors NBA Championship and one BAA championship.

You understand what a sports franchise is, no?

If you're doing the city thing, then looking at the A's for instance, they won five WS in Philly and four in Oakland. Philly can claim those five WS, but not the Phillies obviously. Different franchise.

But you're dinging the Nats for the
Expo's lack of success.

My apologies 93. I was confused (sue me I don't closely follow baseball, golf, billiards, tiddlywinks, etc.) and was thinking that a previous Nat's franchise had started in 1969 and then moved somewhere else not realizing that the current version of the Nats was started in 1969 and came from Montreal. Now that I did a little research and understand, I agree that the Nat's legacy includes the Expos' futility.

It might as well be the Washington Senators for all 89 is concerned. :lol:

Kinda funny that I'm the old curmudgeon but it's you guys that want to hang on to the Expos. There is not a fan in DC that gives a rats ass about any of the Expos history, good or bad (obviously mostly bad). Different city, different owners, different name, different team. Counting 50 years as waiting for the Nationals to win a WS is nothing but dumb. :coffee:

Agree with this, though I hope Montreal gets another chance. They got screwed in 1994 and the fans were pissed and quit going.

He didn't want to play in DC either. $300M for 10 was on the table, so that he signed for $330 and 13 tells me he wanted out. Nats fans have known this day was coming for a long time. Don't let 93 fool you, his prediction two years ago was chalk. What this has meant is that fans were way over losing Harper before it even happened. He will be missed but I'm not hearing many angry folks around here. Now, the fact that he did sign for basically the same money he was offered here and that he's going to a division rival means that I hope he fails. Either way though, I'm not losing sleep over it.

As for the no passion, no championships... I will have to disagree. The Phillies have a good shot at being very good right away, and certainly in the next couple years. I don't know exactly what their pitching staff looks like, but that can be addressed now that positionally they're pretty set.
Difference is the Nats contract was apparently a ton of deferred money where the Phillies contract is stacked with much of the money coming upfront (competitive tax hit for the club is based on the average yearly cost over the contract, not exactly when the player gets the money). The net present value of the Phillies offer was substantially greater than that of the Nats offer just based on the timing of the salary. Nats didn't want him.

That's your perspective. Mine is that they didn't start a new franchise, they moved an existing franchise from another city and that franchise's history came with it. The people of Washington haven't waited 50 years but fans of the franchise have. I guess I'm :dunce:

That's where we disagree. Do you think there is a Montreal Expos fan that was holding their breath during the Bryce Harper saga because they desperately want a World Series for the Nats? Or do you think there is a Nats fan that thinks back on the Expos and what could have been if they had won a WS title? :suspicious:

Doesn't matter what some Nats fans think, baseball stats for the Expos, are in the Nats record book. Check the link to the Nats all-time stat leaders.

The purpose of pointing out championship droughts is to show how miserable a fanbase might be. The Nats are 0 for 13 years. Doesn't matter what some stat guy thinks. 8-)

In a few years Phillies will regret this signing, and realize owner did what he said he was going to do. That aside, they are a strong team and they got a great catcher.

If you are talking cities, Washington hasn't won since 1924, but that is part of the Twins all-time records, the franchise won in 1987 & 91.
