RF burns are also very bad. I got a sting from an antenna from an HF backpack radio and it really messed me up. Nowhere near as bad as it might have been but it gave me great concern about safety with high power radio signal. I have heard of dudes who got both lightning and RF burns at the same time from setting up one of those taller HF antennas in the field.

Chuck Todd is interesting on the Bulwark pod.

Heard and validated. People are generally stupid and they get stupider the more alcohol or youth sports is involved.

Less awful than before. Need to keep it going though.

C’mon Mets

This game sucks so far. Does it get better?

Unto death did pass which member of the gallant most blessed boys, most recent?

Riley Greene will have a breakout tonight. He's going to be wearing his new glasses and they will be spectacular horn rim jobs. He's also going to have a chinstrap for his helmet.

I had thought Juan Berrenguer had passed but wikipedia assures me he is safe.

Was Chet the last 84 Tiger to pass?

Thank you for the genuine improvement of my fan experience from your content Bert. Its a smile for this and shared agony for the bad times. Tip of the cap.

Boy this team is not the same without Kerry Carpenter. I think they could survive a week without Riley and a week without Tork but without Karp they really drop off.

Listening to Scott Bentley because I enjoy having some noise in my headphones at work in my shoebox of a cubicle while I do the last 2-4 years before retirement. From this I remember that this game last night was a lot less of a sure thing than it seems at the end. The whole first game of a home stand sluggishness thing is a constant. Not sure if that is lack of prep or they were too busy at the signing event that afternoon or what.

Bleeping Mets didn't get it done.

Whatever the hell was going on in this thread above...you guys realize that the purity wars are fun until you get a fascist man-baby elected.

Native Americans are a larger percentage of the pop in the West. Wisconsin and some areas of Vermont show the correlation and direct causality between excessive cheese eating and alcoholism.

This one has definitely been filled with defensive gems.

There was always an assumption that these local paper guys were mixing it up with the local color at places like the Lindell AC https://www.vintagedetroit.com/remembering-johnny-butsicaris-and-the-lindell-ac-bar/?srsltid=AfmBOoqzDqBtMQ5utDwoq3nSArmcSZBXX3UmY3q7dsOEac0hEFHxZzT7 I went to a party one time at Jennifer Hammond's home (apparently a roommate of my wife's law school friend) and saw a bunch of the local sports types just standing around like regular people at a party where they didn't know everyone and it was a little uncomfortable. Van Earl Wright greeted Jennifer Hammond's mother like the Queen of England with southern hospitality. Terry Foster and Jamie Samuelson were ripping off jokes about something or other that I can't remember. In short, I couldn't see that group having any special knowledge about anything. Just a bunch of guys speculating and reporting what was told to them for the reasons that helped the teller.

I think with some of this there is a concern that they are trying to drive a narrative that suits the betting touts.

You know who is also a bad counter-indicator...97.1's drive time radio host.

They are using the full weight of the federal government against their employees and their unions.

My wife is applying for a VERA because she’s terrified of whomever would be appointed to run her agency after the current guy’s term. Another buddy who was close to retirement just decided “why bother” and went early.

“Explosive Regression” would be a heck of a thriller title for a book about a baseball analyst who also solves murders in a small town somewhere resorty.

Contra Carlos Monnarrez take...this gives me great giddiness https://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnists/jeff-seidel/2025/08/03/detroit-tigers-fun-in-philadelphia-reminder-of-alan-trammell-kirk-gibson/85494589007/
