WASHINGTON NATIONALS/MONTREAL EXPOS 華盛頓國民隊/蒙特婁博覽會隊 Length of streak: The longest playoff drought of any club in the four major pro team sports, 26 years 26年沒有進過季後賽,在四種職業運動裡最長的紀錄 Last winning season: 83-79, 2003 最近一次勝率超過五成的球季 83勝79敗,2003年 General managers: GMs Kevin Malone 1995 Jim Beattie 1996-2001 Omar Minaya 2002-2004 Jim Bowden 2005- Five bad moves 五個不對的決策 1. The post-strike fire sale. Greed and stubbornness by the owners and players wiped out the end of the 1994 season, the playoffs and the best-in-baseball Expos' chances for a World Series run. Rather than push forward with the best young core of talent in the game, ownership ordered GM Kevin Malone to dump as many star players as possible in a week's time. The end result was a disastrous series of moves that ripped apart a loaded team while also failing to replenish the farm system. Marquis Grissom, Ken Hill and John Wetteland were jettisoned for pennies on the dollar. The Expos let hugely popular Canadian star Larry Walker walk without even offering him arbitration, ensuring that the team received nothing in return. 1. 達成協議後的火速拍賣 老闆和球的貪心及頑固徹底的消除了1994年球季的尾聲,這個尾聲是 進入季後賽以及博覽會隊在棒球界裡最佳贏得世界大賽冠軍的機會。 老闆要求GM Kevin Malone 儘可以在一週的時間內將許多的明星球員交易出去, 而非將最棒及有天分的球員們在比賽去安排出來。 最終的結果就是一連串將 滿載的球隊撕裂開的災難,同時也在補足農場系統的部分也失敗了。 為了獲得 些許的錢Marquis Grissom, Ken Hill和John Wetteland被像貨物般的丟下船。 博覽會隊讓廣受歡迎的加拿大球星Larry Walker連提供他仲裁都沒有就離開球隊, 確保了球隊什麼都拿不到! 2. Trading Pedro Martinez for Carl Pavano and Tony Armas Jr. Of all the cheapskate moves engineered by Montreal's owners, the trade of Martinez to the Red Sox ripped out the hearts of Expos fans. Just 26 years old and coming off his first Cy Young Award, Pedro still had the best years of his Hall of Fame career in front of him. Instead, the team settled for Pavano and Armas, two talented young pitchers whose careers were derailed by constant injuries. 2. 將Pedro Martinez交易出去以得到Carl Pavano和Tony Armas Jr. 在博覽會隊老闆所有吝嗇決策中,將Pedro Martinez交易至紅襪這件事 最傷博覽會球迷的心了。 才26歲及剛得到他第一座賽揚獎,Pedro Martinez仍然有著最棒的道路往著名人堂前去。 取而代之的是,球隊 選擇了Pavano和Armas,兩個天分豐富但是投球生涯都被經常性傷痛所阻 礙的投手。 3. Jeffrey Loria engineering a blackout. Early in the Expos' history, owner Charles Bronfman relinquished broadcast rights in southern Ontario to the fledgling Toronto Blue Jays, as a favor to Canada's newest team. The move would prove disastrous, giving the Jays the platform they'd need to become a large-market power while forever condemning the Expos to small-market purgatory. Heading into the 2000 season, owner Jeffrey Loria dealt a similarly cruel blow to the franchise's fortunes, though with far less honorable intentions. Loria supposedly shopped the team's TV and English radio rights around that year, but found no takers at his asking price. Rather than chalk up broadcasting rights as marketing costs, the Expos went dark in every medium except French radio that season, dealing a devastating blow to the team's already teetering fortunes. Given how conveniently Loria managed to bail on the Expos and reap huge rewards from the franchise sale, then extort the taxpayers of Florida into a lucrative taxpayer-funded stadium deal years later, it's easy to speculate that Loria sabotaged the Expos' final days in Montreal, with tacit approval from his accomplice Bud Selig. 3. Jeffrey Loria engineering a blackout 在博覽會隊早期的歷史中,老闆Charles Bronfman將在Ontario南部 轉播權讓給了才剛發展的多倫多藍鳥隊,當做是幫在加拿大新建立球隊的一 個忙。 這個決策證明了它多糟糕,給與了藍鳥隊一個可以變成大市場球隊 的平台,同時是一個永遠責難著博覽會隊變成小市場球隊的煉獄。 進入了兩千年球季,老闆Jeffrey Loria對於轉播權做了一些不完善的處理, 雖是有著令人不尊敬的目的。 Jeffrey Loria推測能在那一年左右將電視和 英語廣播轉播權利買出去,但是發現沒有願意接受他開出的價錢。 在那個 球季除了法語廣播之外,在其他媒體上都變黑了(就是沒有轉播啦),對於球 隊搖搖欲墜的財務狀況更是一個災難性的決策。 Loria所在的職位給予了他 許多的方便,Loria試著在博覽會會隊上汲取一些東西和從轉播權利金中收集 一些金錢,在幾年後,又在佛羅里達納稅人的身上及有獲利的球場中取得利 益。 對於要從他的共犯來看出Loria是在破壞博覽會隊在蒙特婁最後的日子 是很簡單的。 4. Trading Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips and Cliff Lee for Bartolo Colon. Before the 2002 season, the Expos were identified as a prime candidate for franchise contraction. When the team surprisingly stayed in contention for a few months, GM Omar Minaya made a what-the-heck trade, acquiring Colon from the Indians. The go- for-it deal was a rare, pleasant surprise for Montreal fans, used to seeing their team trade away established stars. But the bounty sent to Cleveland in return was considered a king's ransom at the time, a short-sighted trade made under duress, even for an ace like Colon. Six years later, Nationals fans can only fantasize about Sizemore and Phillips playing alongside Ryan Zimmerman, with Lee fronting the starting rotation. 4. 將Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips和Cliff Lee交易出去以獲得Bartolo Colon 在2002年球季之前,博覽會隊被為是在轉播權利金合約上最佳的候選人。 在球隊停留在爭論期間的這幾個月內,GM Omar Minaya做了一個如地獄般 的交易,從笑臉人那邊得到Colon。 這個呆呆向前衝的交易並未嚇到博覽會 的球迷,他們經常看到球隊將已經形成的明星交易出去。 但是從送到笑臉人 那邊所回饋回來的是一次一筆大量的贖金,一個短視近利的交易在強迫下形 成了,雖然是得到了像Colon這種Ace級的投手。 六年過後,國民隊的球迷 只能幻想Sizemore及Phillips和Zimmerman一起在場上打球,有著Lee在先發 投手輪值中。 5. Failing to re-sign Vladimir Guerrero. Another future Hall of Famer, another unceremonious departure. The Expos supposedly offered Vlad a contract extension before he hit free agency, though the offer came in well below market value. The Angels snapped him up, getting a new franchise player in the process. OK, Nats fans,now imagine an outfield of Sizemore, Vlad and Lastings Milledge, with an infield anchored by Zimmerman and Phillips. 5. 無法再簽下Vladimir Guerrero 另外一位未來名人堂的球員,另一個突然的分離。 博覽會隊應該要在他去 FA試水溫前就提出延長合約,雖然他們提出的合約應該比Vlad市價低很多。 天使隊突然抓緊了他,得到了一個特別的球員。 是的,國民隊的球迷正想 像著外野有Sizemore, Vlad 和Lastings Milledge,內野有Zimmerman和 Phillips的陣容。 Lowest moment: Maybe you can trace the franchise's downfall to 1991, when a 55-ton concrete beam crumbled off the façade of Olympic Stadium and crashed onto a walkway. The Expos played their last 13 home games on the road, failed to reach .500 for the first time in five years, failed to reach 1 million in attendance for the first time since the Big O opened and added another chapter to their ill- fated history. 球隊最低潮的時候: 或許你可以回溯到轉播權賣不出去的1991年,當55噸的水泥橫樑 從Olympic Stadium這棟建築物的正面崩潰並且跌落到人行道上的 時候。 博覽會隊最後十三場在別人家主場的比賽,在近五年內第 一次沒法達五成的勝率,也在Olympic Stadium開幕後第一次不能 達成百萬觀眾到場的紀錄,同時他們在病痛般的球隊歷史上又新 添了一章。 Favorite whipping boys: Bud Selig, Claude Brochu, Jeffrey Loria, Tom Runnells, Hideki Irabu, Brad Fullmer. 最該打的小孩們: Bud Selig, Claude Brochu, Jeffrey Loria, Tom Runnells, Hideki Irabu, Brad Fullmer. Notable quotable: "This was a team that had to be moved. We knew it had to relocate. Baseball didn't want to own it anymore. This was a team owned by baseball that we were anxious to get rid of." --Commissioner Bud Selig on the Expos' move to Washington after the 2004 season. 值得注意的引用評論: 「這是一個該搬家的球隊。 我們都知道他必須重新找到地方落腳。 棒球再不能擁有它自己了。 是一隻球隊擁有棒球而這個球隊是我們 想要擺脫的。」Bud Selig於2004年在博覽會搬到華盛頓以後說到。 Hope for the future? Zimmerman and Milledge are 23-year-old twin building blocks for the offense, and top prospect Chris Marrero provides another potential impact bat down the road. But the pitching is thin both at the major league level and in the high minors. There's enough midlevel talent for the team to be respectable right now, but not nearly enough for the team to be really good for several years. 未來的希望? Zimmerman和Milledge是兩個23歲在攻擊方面的雙生基石,而在大物 Chris Marrero提供在客場有著令力印象深刻的潛力打擊。 但是在他 們大聯盟和高階小聯盟中,投手的一環仍是薄弱的。 有著足夠的中 等天分的球員,就現在來說,是ok的。 但在未來幾年就會不足了。 ETA for next winning season: 2012. 期待能夠成功的下個球季:2012年 --
