With Elias Sosa coming out of the bullpen to douse late-inning rallies, the Expos have so far been able to stave off opposition from the defending champion Pirates and the talented, well paid Phillies.
But the bottom line is the win column. And the Expos are winning, mostly behind a rotation consisting of Scott Sanderson, Steve Rogers, David Palmer, Bill Gullickson and Charlie Lea--a rotation which not so long ago labored for Memphis in Double-A ball.
Those were the little things, the things that, together with the novelty of big-league baseball, allowed Les Expos to pour money into their farm system as fans poured through the turnstiles. A few years later, the system seems to have worked.
Unlike so many other teams that float into the upper echelons, the Expos have still maintained their unrefined manner, their distinct character.
With a slim one-game lead, the Expos cannot afford to wax complacent. Nothing, however, can compare to the ordeal of last September, when the division crown narrowly eluded the squad which played 31 games in 28 days.
