Well, it's done. MLB's slow strangulation of the Expos is complete.

At this point I have to hope that they go with either the Nationals or Senators. Its not a slight to the name the Grays, I just know that the moment they name the team that, Darth Selig's goons will apply the history eraser button, and the actual facts of the Homestead Grays will be purged as inconvenient to the marketing narrative. I like to think the Pirates have done an excellent job honoring both their local teams, the Grays and the Pittsburgh Crawfords. But I have to figure that come next year, the left field entrance at PNC will have significant changes to it, and not for the better.
