RIP, Mr. Baseball. He got up, got up, and got outta here.
There’s something about listening to a baseball game on radio. Even the worst game can be made interesting. Living in Nebraska, I didn’t listen to the Brewers. As a kid, I would listen to Harry Carey and the Cardinals. You can drive your car or be fishing and listen to a game.
The two guys I like the most now are the Giants’ TV guys. So interesting.
Baseball is the American game and I don’t care what the NFL says.
He missed the tag!
Back when I had the Extra Innings package, I'd catch the Brewers' games just to hear Ueck. Sync up the radio feed with the television broadcast. It was perfect.
Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo doing Red Sox games, Ueck and the Brewers capped off by Vin Scully and the Dodgers.
Sadly, I don't even recognize the game anymore.
RIP to Mr. Baseball, as well as RemDawg and Vinny.

It's great if they've got a good Color Man. Baseball is an inherently slow paced game even without crap like sausage races, you need someone to fill in the gaps.

If your skies are clear, you may see Venus (and Saturn close by but not as bright) in the west, Jupiter higher up, and Mars coming along to the east.
If you see two bright stars near Mars, those are Castrol and Polyps.
"Sunrise and moonset" - Sounds like the beginning of a new verse for "My Favorite Things".

Ukraine attacked the energy infrastructure of another if its NATO allies today. This time the Turkstream natural gas pipeline. The destruction of Germany's gas pipeline, Nordstream, has left Germany in a deep recession that is bordering on a depression. They had negative growth for 2024. This is after Ukraine just cut off 5% of Europe's NG at the beginning of the year. Basically Europe is going to become dependent on liquified natural gas, LNG, which is twice the money. Nobody is going to pipe cheap gas there anymore, it's too risky. Pipelines are sitting ducks. Europe is screwed. Their only hope was to win the war against Russia, and then, like a piñata, when Russia collapses, the riches will come tumbling out, for Europe to loot. Oil, NG, Diamonds, Platinum, Lithium, Maize, Wheat, etc, etc, all for sale to Europe on Europe's terms once they got rid of Putin. It was a bold strategy, let's see how it works out for them.
BTW, since the advent of LNG, pipelines are a favor to the buyers. They limit the options of the sellers of NG in return for stable markets. Well, the "stable market" part of that deal has gone out the window. It's not the seller's problem that LNG costs twice what pipeline gas costs.
Trade with the enemy isn't unusual but it has to benefit both sides. Pipelines are good for it because there's no transportation risk anybody has to bear.
...those are Castrol and Polyps.
Best Autocorrect ever!
SEC Lawsuit: Elon Musk’s Failure to Disclose Twitter Stake Let Him Buy at ‘Artificially Low Prices’
Wait. I thought he bought Twitter at an inflated, uneconomic price. That's what we've been told by the lefties here.
I have pointed out several times before that Germany is in a deep recession primarily because they shut down all their nuclear power plants, and even blew up some of the cooling towers to make sure that if the people decided to elect a different party, they wouldn't be able to turn them back on again without spending a lot of time and money to do it. Why do some people pretend that Germany's economic problems are not mostly self-inflicted?
And why exactly is Ukraine somehow morally obligated to allow Russia to make billions in hard currency shipping gas or oil through Ukrainian territory, money that finances the weapons and ammunition they use to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure and slaughter Ukrainian civilians? Reading Jaq's first comment, a casual reader might think that they had attacked a pipeline in Turkey, not a pumping station in Russia, a country that is at war with them.
SnakeEyes.
Biden is going to issue a preemptive pardon for all illegals.
"Sunrise and Moonset and pillaging Saxons ...:
Tough rhyme. Klaxons?
"The two guys I like the most ..."
Father, Son and Holy Ghost?
"Even the worst game can be made interesting."
You know, I'm going to give you this one. Experiencing a baseball game by radio is almost certainly preferable to being required to experience one in person. It might be different if they had cheerleaders.
Nice link, but you should learn how to do it like this;
New York is in good hands!
Maybe a cockney rhyming slang solution;
fart -> raspberry tart -> raspberry
Saxon -> Stonewall Jackson -> Stonewall
Hmmm. That doesn't really seem like progress. Theory has its limitations.
My apologies if this this has already been posted on this blog:
Q: Why can’t Biden visit the site of the California fires?
A: The cadaver dogs go crazy when they see Biden.
Good stuff, Eva Marie!
Good call by Dave Begley. The Giants baseball announcers are 2 former Giants players Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper. Kuiper, the play-by-play guy is a native of Racine Wisconsin, where he grew up on a family farm. He is quite beloved in the Bay Area, but always brags about his Wisconsin roots. He is very smooth, easy to listen to, self deprecating, great mid-west sense of humor.
I mentioned that same thing as a comment on another blog. He was forced to buy it after making an offer that was too generous...
They want to law-fair Musk too.
