Today's lineup a case in point. Nice to see Schneemann get a look in the 2 hole.

I still think Rocchio can and should be limited to a bench bat for now.

Brito not an option for ~3 months.

Definitely the Brewers.

No Brito?

Looks as though the threshold has been passed...who is the artist?

Thanks! I'm hoping Manzardo is ready to shine, but agreed that I'll need an insurance policy regardless. Keeping Freddie would tie my hands elsewhere, and good to know the trends on Noel.

@chadyoung.bsky.social I've got a $58 Freddie Freeman in a longtime Ottoneu points league with high inflation. My backup 1B options are Kyle Manzardo ($4) and Jhonkensy Noel ($7). Thoughts?

Dean Johnson singing and playing guitar at the Trout Lake Hall in Washington State.

A most memorable night as my wife and I drove 90 miles - much of it through a wild snowstorm - to see Dean Johnson play in one of our favorite rooms: The Trout Lake Hall at the foot of Mt. Adams. We ran into several Portland friends, and it was a blast to see old friend Garett Brennan open up.

An Alaska village sinking in ocean bc climate change still has residents. Officials forgot to set up voting there.

This woman flew there on a small plane last minute to set up vote-by-fax. Here, she is radioing village to bring their ballots.

(Great story—read to end: boltsmag.org/alaska-measu...)

She already lost her seat in the recent election.

It’s time for the BBWAA to add a Reliever of the Year Award No reliever has won the Cy Young Award since Eric Gagne in 2003. It's time to give them a chance at a prestigious award.

The problem isn't that Emmanuel Clase should've won the AL Cy Young. Tarik Skubal clearly deserved it. The problem is that there isn't a BBWAA award to recognize one of the greatest seasons by a reliever in history. And I think the BBWAA should do something about that www.nytimes.com/athletic/593...

More evidence of the sleeping economic giant that is outdoor recreation. New government data from the BEA shows that in 2023 outdoor recreation generated $1.2 trillion in economic output, comprised 2.3% of U.S. GDP and supported 5 million jobs.

Dang, just saw that she won't be playing in Portland.

Don't forget Sierra Ferrell! It's a somewhat odd pairing, but she just might steal the show.

Ha! No worries, and thanks.

Sounds like a great resource. That said, not seeing the link?

Despite Biden's Promise to Protect Old Forests, His Administration Keeps Approving Plans to Cut Them Down In Oregon’s Coast Range, mature forests can absorb more carbon per acre than almost any other on the planet. Yet logging here continues at a steady pace, putting the environment at risk.

New: Old-growth forests are key to slowing climate change and to protecting endangered species. In Oregon, logging in Bureau of Land Management-controlled areas has continued at a steady pace despite Biden’s promise to protect these forests.

Forest Park in Portland, Oregon with autumn color

First post on bluesky. Portland, Oregon based, but our home is surrounded by native forest. As such, I get into the woods for a hike or trail run at least once each day.
