The Nats most certainly are the same franchise that was once in Montreal.
Having said that, it’s also not unfair to acknowledge that any playoff success enjoyed by the Expos brought absolutely *no* enjoyment to the folks in Washington. If they don’t feel like they’ve experienced any playoff joy from their team, who could blame them? They haven’t!
So both things are true. The Nats franchise has had some success in the past…but the Washington fans weren’t their fans when they did it.
The Rangers were the last franchise to win a series. Glad they got that monkey off their backs. But the last franchise in its *current city* to win a series? Somebody dig that one up for us. Those folks deserve some love, too.
