Kiszla vs. Saunders: Do Rockies have five players worth keeping for rebuild?
Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:49:08 GMT
Kiz: The Rockies are just another word for nothing left to lose. Can’t anybody around here play this game? These guys are a real threat to be the first team in franchise history to lose 100 times in a season. Colorado seems doomed to be stuck in the dark and dreary basement of the National League West this year, and it’s hard to imagine how 2024 will be much brighter. So let me ask: In the long-term rebuild of the Rockies, are there five players on the current major-league roster worth keeping?Saunders: Geez, Kiz, happy springtime to you, too. Unfortunately, you’re right about the ’23 Rox. The only thing gloomier is the weather here in Cleveland. Five players? I can dig up five, although it’s not easy: Kyle Freeland, German Marquez, Ezequiel Tovar, Justin Lawrence and Kris Bryant. That doesn’t mean the Rockies shouldn’t consider trading anybody and everybody, but those five could be part of a rebuild. (Are we allowed to use that word?)Kiz: I...Mike Johnston nets endorsement from former 2023 candidate in Denver mayor’s race

(Hayk Baghdasaryan/Photolure via AP)The anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is marked every year on April 24. That was the date in 1915 when hundreds of Armenian community leaders were arrested by the government of the Ottoman Empire in the capital Constantinople, now known as Istanbul.At the time, Armenians lived throughout what is modern-day Turkey. Modern scholars estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Turkish government, and around 800,000 to 1.2 million were deported during World War I. Most ended up in the Middle East, the Caucasus, Russia, Europe and the Americas. During that period, Greek, Assyrian and Yezidi communities were also massacred and forced to flee into exile.April is also Genocide Awareness Month.

What if you had all your memories at your fingertips, all organized and at the ready, and it was as simple as just a press of a button to relive them? The Lake in the Sky explores these questions with heart and grit through the lenses of childhood, grief, nostalgia, and memory with energetic, high-concept, and (at times) dark sequences rooted in character.Caleb says “The idea for the film started with a feeling that I think a lot of people can rela...Latest news
