conversations.value: Up, Up and Away
  In the top of the first, the Expos put runners on first and second with one out, bringing Segui to the plate to face Jason Isringhausen. Despite his high batting average, Segui was clearly playing over his head, and wasn't a particularly great hitter for that era, possessing only moderate power at a time when first basemen were launching 35–40 homers a year seemingly at will. We didn't care. We wanted to let the Mets fans have it.
  As they announced Segui's name on the loudspeaker, the four of us got up, and at the top of our lungs, in the middle of the crowded first-base-side box seats, belted out: "M-V-P! M-V-P!"
  Another newcomer, Henry Rodriguez, made a much bigger impression in '96. After coming over in the Roberto Kelly deal in May 1995, Rodriguez played just a handful of games for the rest of that season.
  Then, in '96, he went nuts. In 145 games, Rodriguez slammed 36 home runs and 42 doubles, and made his first (and only) All-Star Game. Glomming onto Rodriguez's easy smile and prodigious power, fans began paying tribute to the team's new left fielder. Every time he cracked a long ball, les partisans hurled Oh Henry! bars on the field—another goofy tradition you could only find at the Big O.

conversations.value: For many fans and local media members, the math was simple: before Loria, they could sit out on the porch on a summer night and listen to Van Horne's dulcet voice. Once Loria arrived, many people couldn't do that anymore. So obviously, Loria had to be at fault. A narrative quickly emerged: this aloof art dealer and his fast-talking, short-statured, Napoleon-complexed stepson—these New Yorkers—were sabotaging the team. This was a far easier stance to adopt than accepting the obvious: that the Montreal business community, and now Montreal's media outlets, wanted no part of the Expos.
  The last tire to blow was Loria's relationship with his partners in the consortium. But in this case, it would be largely his own doing.
  In May 2000, Loria issued the first cash call to his partners. For a typical partnership, this would be standard operating procedure: spending had gone up with Beattie's acquisition of players over the winter in the hopes of improving the ball club. More money would be needed for other expenditures in the future, as the cost of doing business in Major League Baseball continued to climb. To keep pace, both Loria—who'd bought a 24 percent stake in the team for $18 million Canadian (about $12 million U.S. at the time, with the lopsided exchange rate)—and his partners would need to chip in to pay the tab.
  This was the Raymond Cyr philosophy, being played out in real time. Bell, Nesbitt Burns, Desjardins: the representatives from these and most of the other consortium members had viewed their earlier investments as charitable donations. They painted themselves as white knights who'd done right by the community by contributing the equivalent of a rounding error on their companies' profit and loss statements. But also like Cyr, they had made it clear that there would be no more money coming—ever. Not to keep the 1994 team intact; not to keep Pedro Martinez; not to make a stadium deal happen by financing a big chunk of it themselves—never. (Jean Coutu, grocery store chain Loblaw Companies, and Charles Bronfman's son, Stephen—who'd been approached about a majority position before Loria—made an exception to the "never" rule, investing $1 million each at the same time that Loria put his money in, with a commitment to invest another $9 million each later on.) Brochu had let this stand, running the ball club on the puniest of budgets in a quixotic attempt to both win games and avoid bankruptcy. Loria had different ideas, figuring that to make money, he and everyone else would have to spend some.
  There was no other way to increase investment. With no English radio, minimal revenue from French radio, and not much more from all TV ventures combined, media money was nearly non-existent. Attendance had been dreadful, diving to 9,547 fans a game in '99, then ticking up to a still ugly 11,435 in 2000. Outsiders had begun to mock the fan base for its lack of support, but they were, frankly, way off base in their criticisms. After years of being told there were cockroaches in the soup, many Montrealers had done what anyone would do in that situation: go to a different restaurant. To get any kind of positive momentum going, all of the partners would have to bite the bullet, hoping that a little spending now would lead to better results down the road.
