ITS LITTLE LEAGUE WITH BIG $$$ You may never have heard of Orion Kerkering of the Philadelphia Phillies but he ended his team's season with a bad choice, and a bad throw. It reminds you of the kid -maybe you- who throw away the game. That's the beauty and the curse of baseball. It's the same have we played as kids. When the worst happens, It's the same crushing ending. With the Championship series now set, I turned to the great Mike Ferrin from SXM MLB network radio to look ahead ...

This was a GREAT podcast. Come on people, let's do something about KIDS GETTING KILLED!
Steve, I have a question for Dr Most. I'm 59. I was covid vaccinated Feb/Mar. I was told I had to wait now for the shingles vax. Two weeks before my June Dr appointment for checkup, flu shot and shingles vax, I got shingles. I know people who have had shingles multiple times. Do I still get the shingles vaccination, my Dr says its unnecessary. what's Dr Mosts opinion?
Is Steve OK?
Is Steve OK? Haven't received a podcast in 12 days, unusual!
Congratulations and we'll done!
I fully expect a defiant act on his way out. don't expect a letter to be left in the desk, I'd more likely expect a turd in the center of the oval office carpet presidential seal.
If this president doesn't get prosecuted, what is the line for future presidents. You are setting an even higher bar of what future presidents can get away with.
Has anyone explained to Pritzker that he lost because of the removal of the language that provides us protection. Removal of "only one such tax shall be applied to an individual's income". A graduated tax does not require the removal of that language, what else were you planning Pritzker?
What Happened? How is it that it wasn't a blowout?
I like your idea about "Anything but that!"
A couple questions. First, If Madigan leaves or is removed from office, what's to say he doesn't still run things? Like the gang leader running things from prison. Second, Madigan has organized so much power into his office, how do we keep his replacement from being just as corrupt?
