Didn't want to do this...

The last time the White Sox won a playoff series before tonight, the future Pope was just another fan in the stands against the Astros at the 2005 World Series 😮

21 years later, his Sox beat the Astros again – just weeks after receiving a letter from the Pope 🔥

The Chicago White Sox’s magical mystical ride continues.
They sweep the Houston Astros, winning their first postseason series since 2005.
Next up: Cleveland

@mattlindner Perfect take. Always come prepared, engage them and leave if you have to.

@Tramyers_NHL It's because of you that I read Neal Peart's "Ghost Rider!"

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@Ghostofcynthia Every. Single. Time.

@RoselandChi1972 @Knapsack There's one on Rand Road in Arlington Heights and another on Skokie Boulevard in Northbrook.

@ERICSORENSEN Standing in the dark in 1974, waiting for the morning bus, was not fun.

@natashakorecki A goalie win. Amazing.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@mr1llinois @KyleyStyley All good suggestions--particularly placing a lot of holds, a large variety and older books. I know it seems obvious but it does help.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@mr1llinois It feels like it's at the end of nowhere which gave us a very good feel for how remote it must have seemed to the soldiers stationed there.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@mr1llinois Hmmm. Did not know about this.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@mr1llinois You have made serious time today.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@mr1llinois THAT is quite a courthouse.

How is it 2026 and we still don’t have a dustpan that doesn’t leave a line.

[Lady Lawya @Parkerlawyer]

In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”

The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.

So I got pissed.

Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.

Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.

That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.

Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.

@im_all_id And if I closed the garage door or not.

@Here_s_Hoping An older friend of mine began using those her mother embroidered because she realized they would truly only mean something to her. The friend passed and now I sleep on them thinking of her and her mother.

@M4X_POW3R Currently reading the last in that series. It may be a mystery but the pub conversations are laugh-out-loud funny.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@AlCimaglia Keith, Seabrook and Sharp started playing in 2005. Five years later we had a Cup. We are currently 4 years into the rebuild and, by comparison, with the signing of Bedard in 2023, we should be winning a cup in 2028. Sure.

[Flowers, Hawks And History @FlowersAndHawks]

@ByScottPowers The goal is to win the Stanley Cup. We've seen, firsthand, Stanley Cup caliber teams. They are nowhere close.
