What Humpy did for the M's last night is the very definition of lore.

Humpy the Salmon assists hanging the Mariners trident that counts down wins to a possible title. Humpy's first ever Salmon Run victory immediately preceded the M's 15th inning win in Game 5 of the '25 ALDS.

Here's my recap of Mariners/Tigers Game 5. Somehow this is the image that is sticking with me the most.

The Mariner Moose lifts Humpy the Salmon up in celebration after Humpy won the Salmon Run for the first time ever. Mariners fans can be seen going wild in the background.

Tipped my glass and bought a pint for a dude who was settling up and walking down there tonight and I hope he's in one of the costumes shaking ass.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

If you haven't recently checked the batteries on a baseball-loving-relative's defib unit, tomorrow morning might be a good call.

Four potential elimination games on Wednesday!!

In the history of Division Series (1981, 1995-onward), there’s been one year where all 4 DS ended on the same day:

Considering the city's feelings on current events, I should not have been surprised to see the room was 90% full for a 6p Monday showing of One Battle After Another. Primo work from everyone in front of and behind the camera. Could not recommend it any higher.

Ben & Co. deserve all the praise. Just ??? to see which one is being hailed as I would've guessed at least four others off their lineup.

FWIW, on-tap FH Cassidy (LH) is my current '25 season champ. Stare-at-the-glass-in-your-hand kinds of good.

Multiple OBA golds for Bayside and Bayside variants would indicate this is the pinnacle of IPAs offered up in Portland over the last two years. Which . . . doesn't feel correct? Palates are palates, but it's strange to be completely outside the groupthink on this one.

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

RE: the PDX NG hearing that just went down. Look, I am not a lawyer, but if a judge asks TWICE in ten minutes if your actions are correct as an officer of the court, you might wanna tap the brake lights.

Leapt out of bed this morning thinking I was late as hell after a rough night of sleep and promptly triggered a vagal nerve reaction. Killed my chances of getting to the half marathon start line on time, let alone running one today. First DNS of my life. Bummed doesn't come close to describing it.

From a visit in 2010. Listening to Monk on vinyl while drinking downstairs in this tiny basement corner is a happy memory.

Ohhhhh this one hurts. Found them for the first time at the PSU Saturday Market in '09 and didn't realize I bought a bottle of Four from THE Alex until later in life. Completely unique and it will be a loss for the area when it's gone.

Founder Alex Ganum is one of a handful of the most gifted brewers I’ve encountered in my travels around the world, and on a number of occasions, tasting his beer left me startled by its originality and accomplishment. With its singular vision and personality, Upright was an irreplaceable brewery.

104 on the absolute corner. Sure.

Non-zero chance Kelly was wondering if he could drag Miller to a stake and get it lit before the Padres bench jumped him.

Pitching graphic showing a strike 3 call against Carson Kelly from Mason Miller. Speed is 104mph in the extreme lower left corner of the zone. Kelly is staring at that spot.
