In a pre Mall of America 80s world all I knew of Edmonton was "big mall with water park" and Oilers/Gretzky.

Can anyone tell if those are real expos signatures? Someone was sitting right by the sign so I didn't lean in to look...but did snap a pic.

Sign of interest to me on the wall of my favorite restaurant in Montreal, Le Vin Papillon.
Métal sign on the wall says Welcome Montreal Expos. The sign is signed by multiple people, not sure who.

On a recent episode I called him John Oates…then looked it up and realized his given name was Johnny. John Oates, a very different guy.

I just remembered that in middle school in the 90s, my music teacher had the class learn and sing Stevie Wonder’s “Lately.” Thinking back, this is an odd choice and maybe she was going through some stuff. It is a banger tho.

Announcers, please stop calling it South Chicago. South Chicago is its own beautiful thing, one of the 77 community areas, it runs from 79th street to the Calumet River. That’s not where the Sox play.

What a double play…Can we also discuss how perfect Miguel’s look is right now? The glasses, hair, everything. #WhiteSox
Miguel Vargas leaves the field after the top of the 2nd inning. He wears a black White Sox uniform with pinstriped white pants.

Tough call, I'd go city connect. Not that I hold a grudge against LuBob or any other denizens of White Sox Heaven. To that end, maybe the Goose could be resurrected to throw out first pitch? Cc: @keelin12ft.bsky.social

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Sam Antonacci is asked what his reaction was to Munetaka Murakami’s go ahead 2 run home run. He confesses that he was hiding in the batting cage, eating an ice cream at the time. His teammate Miguel Vargas hears about this and called him a child that needs to be looked after. #WhiteSox
