The Heat Wave of 2006 has thankfully passed, but the Red Sox are in the middle of Injury Wave 2006. Although we don’t know who’ll be doing it, here’s something worth catching:

Michael and Jim take a look an issue that most Massachusetts politicians seem to be avoiding - the increased homicide rate in Boston this year. We interview Phil Dunkelbarger, a Democratic candidate for Congress in the 9th Congressional District. Mr. Dunkelbarger is challenging 5-year incumbent, Stephen Lynch, in the upcoming September primary. The sports crew has the Red Sox and Floyd Landis Blues.

Music: We welcome Kevin Griffin, with his song “Mary Dyer”, from his recently released recording Live in an empty room with Pete Shaman.
