The Roundup was long enough, and I didn't really have a Monday blog piece, so I split it into two. With that, let's dig in.
With oil at and above $100 a barrel, the Monthly explains (most of which I already knew) why Wall Street isn't financing new drilling in the Permian. And, it probably won't be financing new drilling for a while. Paying shareholders will come first. This is MeriKKKa, and even the awl bidness is going to have to accept that. One interesting part is that many Wall Street investors are also trying to greenwash themselves, and that adds more complications.
Chevron has paid to settle Clean Air Act violations, speaking of oil.
With baseball back, SocraticGadfly looked at lockout winners and losers along with season speculation about the Cardinals and other things. I didn't put anything there, but I expect the stRangers will finish out of the money even with a 12-team playoffs. The Stros will finish in, even if they don't resign Correa, but that will make the difference between just making the playoffs and making a post-season run.

I must admit I'm startled the Freddie Freeman era with the Braves is over. Did you see it coming? Where do you think he will land?
From what I see, the Yankees are fading.
The Blue Jays, compared to the old Blue Jays, have been spending money like a drunken sailor, so, 60-40 them vs the Dodgers? I really don't see any other major players in the mix.
Good guess.
