@oldcanadaseries SCTV !

The CBC television lineup in 1975

@megha_lilly No match for 🇵🇱 !

English is still the most beautiful, versatile, logical, poetic and wonderful language in the whole world. I speak six languages. Many writers from many other languages say this about English. Because it has been perfected over millennia of discourse, poetry and debate.

@Berger_BYTES Bring that back w the coulour scheme.

Still the greatest #NHL logo of all time: the original Los Angeles #Kings in 1967-68. #LAKings #Leafs #LeafsForever

@_F_B_G_ Never understood why he stayed in France after 89.

Kundera brilliant on his country’s name. Wonder what he made of the appalling neologism ‘Czechia’?

@theiaincameron Sten is just stone. I always thought muir was mer, but you have no sea there.

The third part of the name, muir, is straightforward enough. It simply means "moor": an area of uncultivated land, usually of questionable agricultural quality. However, it's the first two parts of the name that are so interesting, and whose geneses go back 2,000 years. 2/n

To most people, the town of Stenhousemuir is little more than a funny-sounding name they'll have heard on the Saturday classified football results. Few will give it a second thought. However, its origin makes for one of the most intriguing place-names in Scotland. 1/n

@GinaMuscato Need lot of strong coffee first !

Breakfast with a view ☀️

@legsidelizzy Also laughable is anyone biking at this time of yr.

I’ve just seen a man on his bike turn his head to check out an attractive woman looking her up and down and he fell off his bike. Did I laugh? Yes dearest gentle reader, I did.

Following the Dominican Republic’s loss to Team USA in the WBC, Presidente designed a new beer can…with a strike zone on it. 😂 “Our pride never strikes out.” 🇩🇴

@batatalal At least the case system is 90% the same when going from one language to another. You get to like it after a while.

Making everyone learn a ridiculously difficult language was probably the greatest Soviet achievement.

@theiaincameron The American SW is desert.

As someone who lives in the 1200-1600 hours zone in the UK, I'm astonished at how much sun the south-west Unites States gets. I considered 2025 as a lovely summer in central Scotland, but we're sunshine peasants compared to some places.

@DanClarkSports I've told a few others that he'll be closer to Chris Davis than to Boog Powell.

Pete Alonso is ice cold heading into the regular season... • just four extra-base hits this spring - his lowest mark in six years. • now 53 plate appearances since his last home - the longest spring training drought of his 10-year career. Surely he'll turn it around, yes?

@BrilliantMaps 🇷🇴 also has ninge.

@Apaintedcorner No. The main worry is closing.

Lot of injuries early for Jays pitching.. should we be worried?

@Montreal_Hohhot Bonsoir, il est parti !

To all ⚾️ fans not from Quebec, a pillar of the French baseball world just passed away. Listen to his passion in this ⬇️. One the giants of baseball is gone, RIP. Yes baseball in French is poorly known in the US but it is strong and proud. Thanks Rodger 🙏

@GinaMuscato Somebody I never liked & was pissed that the gave up a good reliever to get him a few yrs ago.

Who the hell is Randal Grichuk? 😂

@oldhockeycards Tony !

Who is this goalie..?

@ElliottFPrice "Bonsoir il est parti !"

Part of Rodger's early Expos job was helping keep my dad happy and quiet He'd bring him balls so he could give them to the kids in his section. My dad (Best heckler ever) yelled a lot, we saw Rodger a lot Here he is at Jarry with my brother Franklyn RIP Roddy

@Jimfrombaseball "Bonsoir il est parti !"

"Montreal Expos management asked me if I would give French lessons to the players when we were on the road and it was fun. I used to teach it phonetically because you didn’t have time to do it too extensive grammatically. A lot of the Latin players like Dennis Martinez and others really enjoyed it … they were regulars. We used to have about a one-hour course per city we were visiting. They would lease a suite or a ball room or something like that and supply me with a blackboard … stuff like that. We used to get seven or eight guys who would show up on a fairly regular basis." Jacques Doucet. ONLY person to broadcast a Major League Baseball team over its entire history!!!!!!! Jacques Doucet coined, popularized or invented an entire glossary of baseball terms that didn’t quite translate to French in a way that made any sense. The “chandelle,” or candle, which is the word he used to describe a popup, “Flèche,” or arrow, which meant a line drive. “Frappé en lieu sûr,” which means, “hit in a safe place” and was the term used to describe a base hit. There is no real word for “knuckle” in French. It’s called a finger joint, and “finger joint ball” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, so Doucet coined the term “balle papillon” or “butterfly ball” HERO!!!! LEGEND!!! On s’en coliss esti, it`s about time!!!! No one deserves the "Ford Frick" Award MORE!!! In my HOF!!!! “Bonsoir, elle est partie!” “Good evening, it’s gone!” Rodger Brulotte embodied ‘nos Z’amours.’ Roger Brulotte. Go easy. Doucette et Brulotte.

@dannogallagher7 "Bonsoir il est parti !"

Media outlets in Montreal are reporting #expos broadcaster Rodger Brulotte died today of cancer at the age of 79. I knew of the severity of his illness but didn't want to say much in my earlier post. Bonsoir, Rodger. R.I.P. Big loss for baseball in Canada.

@JCBretan Looks good for skateboarding.

Built 1954-1962!
