Thanks for this interview. There is so much revisionist history about Blue Monday. The fact is that throughout the 1981 post-season, the only reasons the Expos had any success were Rogers, Burris and Gullickson. Rogers didn't have it that day, but if he doesn't give up the run someone else would have. The bullpen sucked and the offense was AWOL throughout the 10 post-season games. Who knows if/when the Expos were going to score another run.

This was an outstanding interview, Richard. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad you mentioned Rogers' 1982 season. That season - arguably his best - showed his tremendous resilience after Blue Monday. I could listen to you and Steve chat all day. Thanks for doing this.
