2025 MLB Season

[Uncle Rico]

Nothing says "America" better than a Make-A-Wish Wisconsin board member and LAWYER saying "Let's call ICE" because a person who is not white is cheering for a different sports team.

Well, I guess if her husband was a dentist that might make it even more American.

Can't imagine being of Hispanic descent and living in America at the moment knowing everywhere you go, there are people like this, people that think like this and people that want you deported for how you look.  The silence by some here on scoop is deafening because they approve of it.

Someone who joined the Marines after 9/11 too. That guy has done more for his country than I probably ever will, and is being treated like this.

Was. Lived there for 11 years. I miss the great views, beer and food scene (the pizza scene in Portland was incredible, as was the Thai and Chinese food), close proximity to awesome hiking and the ocean, but man, the homelessness and drug use was out of control. I had three homeless camps within a quarter mile of my condo, my wife was physically assaulted twice, homeless camps all over the city, crime excused, it got bad. The administration's claim that the city, not just downtown is "on fire" is a joke (the current protests are confined to one small area and thankfully have not become violent), but it isn't the awesome city it once was. Thankfully the new mayor and city council are trying to crack down on the open drug use. It was amusing that plastic straws were banned in restaurants but they were handed out by the country to drug users.

My SIL's brother has lived there for 3 years now and has been pleased with steps taken recently to again make Portland a beautiful, dynamic, relatively safe city.

It's still a large city. Large cities, regardless of what region of the country they are in, will have some large-city challenges and problems.

Oh, she's a Marquette law school alum as well. Nice.

I'd have guessed dental school.

[Hards Alumni]

I'd have guessed dental school.

Probably married one.

I work downtown, the difference between 3 years ago and now is pretty significant. Spent lunch this week with the nice weather looking at mt st Helen's from the rooftop. Haven't had any issues walking the several blocks to the parking garage at all.

I think I recall discussing with Billy about this a while back, there's some challenging spots in the city and the problem downtown was allowed to spiral out of control. But they're trying more proactive measures right now that seem to have some promise with more overnight beds in shelters and such.

And Billy is right, absolutely embarrassment of riches for pizza

Is he interested in buying a downtown condo? Views of Mt. Hood!

[CountryRoads]

It's hard to be worse than a person who deliberately antagonizes others and then sticks a camera in their face to record their reaction, but this lady was able to do it.  No place for racist comments like that.

Last year they bought a house about 10 minutes from downtown, so sorry. Sounds nice, though?

Is the condo market in Portland soft, as it is in so many other major metros across the U.S.?

I'm SURE no one was antagonizing him when the brewers were up 1-0. 

[Hards Alumni]

He said that they did.

[18thandWells]

I have not seen him in years, but if Kent Meyer is still serving beer at Brewers games, I hope he has changed his nickname.

I saw him in 2023, haven't seen him around the last two years

Yeah, it's a great feeling being a road fan and seeing a hostile crowd get shut up so I understand how it felt for him during that moment.

very much so. Thankfully, we have renters, so we are breaking even on the mortgage (I'm not a high roller dentist who could pay cash).

Oh why the hell not at this point. Assuming Quintana and the Miz will get their turns too.

Lots of playoff teams had (and still have) pitching injuries, but it still really sucks that the Crew lost Woodruff and now have to resort to this in the biggest game of the season.

Similar strategy worked in Game 5 vs the Cubs, and did OK in Game 1 vs LA; hopefully it will work today.

Murph just trolling the nerd fans

At this point its like manager dad always having his son pitch.

[Uncle Rico]

If they lose today, I'd like to see him start Anderson tomorrow and go out in a blaze of glory

[MUBurrow]

At this point its like manager dad always having his son pitch.

Imagine how many pitches he would have thrown in G2 if Murph wasn't planning on starting him today.

[wadesworld]

I thought it was bonkers what he did in the NLDS against the Cubs in game two, but it worked.  To be honest, pretty much everything Murphy's done this postseason has been the right move.  The Dodgers are just significantly better than the Brewers.  Things have to get weird for the Brewers to win the series.

[18thandWells]

Not going to get a weirder than a near Grand Slam turning into a DP. Brewers need to capitalize.

[The Sultan]

Holy cow Miz. Keep dealing.

[MuggsyB]

Mizzy didn't start the game for the Brewers.  Correct?  His stuff looks pretty solid.  Perhaps the Brewers hitters should wake the F up?  Just a suggestion.
