Nerve conduction tests are nasty. They hurt more than the injury they are trying to diagnose. In the first part of the test, they give you electric shocks that feel like they are repeatedly hitting you with a hammer. Then the stick needles in you muscles and have you flex. The pain is excruciating.

yeah, I have nerve issues off and on and they are very unpredictable. They start and end for no obvious reason. When I get a muscle injury. I usually have an idea what caused it, about how long it will take to get better and I can feel it getting better gradually. Nerves just do what they want.

I am liking the Sanders/AOC anti-oligarchy/anti-authoitarianism tour. The moderates need to get involved too. They are being way too careful.

In order to be a "winning player", he is going to have to hit a LOT.

The Tigers had a lot of those in the Smith and Avila years.

I have heard it here and there, but I didn't know it was the official MLB language for the "regular season" which is what I have always called it. "Championship season" sounds like a name for the playoffs.

Most likely.

The Tesla vandals should be punished for what they are doing. They should get the same punishment anybody who committed a similar crime would get. However, they should not be punished more severely because the owner of the company is super wealthy and politically connected (to put it lightly). That would be far worse for our country than the crimes themselves.

yeah, I understand what it means. It just seems like an odd phrase.

"Championship season" seems like odd wording.

Don't worry. Somebody will get injured by then!

They will probably be most of their roster decisions this weekend as they are leaving Florida after tomorrow's game.

Trump has taken over Columbia University. He was going to take away 400 million in funding if they did not agree to letting The Party dictate not only discipline, but also curriculum and admissions. They apparently caved. Scary stuff. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-columbia-univeristy-letter-takeover Not surprisingly, this had nothing to do with anti-semitism. It is a personal vendetta Trump has against Columbia:

Stavenhagen just said that Jobe will open the season in the rotation, Maeda to the bullpen, Montero to Toledo.

Never make jokes about Hinch when Chas is around. 😃

That's part of it. I also think teams value versatility more than they did 10 years ago.

I think they'll keep both. Hinch loves guys than can play all over the place. I doubt he'll have two DHs on the roster.

I think there is a large group of people that think conservativism is manly and tough and it doesn't go much beyond that for them.

I don't think Ibanez is in "huge danger". I expect him to make the team. Tork and Malloy are mostly DHs. I don't see them carrying both.

As a dark skinned Greek who has been mistaken for an arab on more than one occasion, I am always a bit wary in travelling. Now, it will be worse.

More like the roil family.

Based on suspicion or hope?

One of the more interesting things is that first year voters were overwhelmingly in favor of Trump.

6,7 and 8 matter a lot too.

That's because the stink of Trump was on everyone's minds due to Covid. That is an example of non-voters getting desperate for a change. Without Covid, I believe Trump would have won in 2020. Unfortunately, grandpa Joe put them to sleep again the next four years.
