Yeah, they stopped going post-strike for the reasons cited in my post. Screwed over potential WS title by the strike, then immediate sell-off of all the team's best players. MLB takes over management and runs the team into the ground. Would you have gone to those games? Before expansion, they had a very successful AAA team, the Royals. Cursory history, dating back to 19th century:

Compare that with here. A Braves pitcher goes down with TJ, and you'd think this was the only team ever affected by it. Then a 23-page thread, full of childish rants, on a minor trade. The turnstiles haven't exactly been overflowing in Atlanta. Think it's pretty obvious which franchise's fans had more reason to be pissed.
I don't really recall Les Expos having great attendance most of their history.
