The Resume

    (1969-2005)
    Root for the Montreal Expos
    Attend home games at Jarry Park (1969-76)
    Attend home games at Olympic Stadium (April 15, 1977- ) and sometimes San Juan Field in Puerto Rico
    Capacity: 46,500
    Currently Washington Nationals fans

Why they might be annoying:

    They root for a team that has never won a World Series, or even a postseason series.
    Their team is in almost as bad of financial ruin as their city.
    Fewer than 10,000 of them regularly show up for games.
    They are in danger of losing the Expos to either contraction or moving to some other city.
    Their stadium was built for the 1976 Montreal Olympics with an incomplete retractable roof. The roof was finally completed in 1988.
    They watch baseball in what is considered the worst stadium in baseball.
    Their few fans endured them by giving away some of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, including Pedro Martinez.
    MLB bought the team after 2002 season with the intention of eliminating them.
    In 2003 and 2004, they played more than 1/4 of their home games in Puerto Rico.
    Their team moved out of Montreal to become the Washington Nationals (2005).

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their team's former owner was a sleaze bag who ran the team into the ground on purpose so he would have a reason to move and sell them.
    They rallied for their team when MLB threatened to contract them after the 2001 season.
