" Intently at Chicago Sports Radio 67 in the door. Were broadcast were a Detroit broadcaster for the unsatisfied GM sound studio where. Jim Morris headquarters and just enjoying every second of it -- Delighted to to get."

" Get to the onstar hot -- what -- Troy Greinke the Denver post Rockies beat reporter page right how are you buddy. Beriault thanks for jumping out we're a very curious as Scott Podsednik coming back to the White Sox let's start with that can -- missiles got a report on. What happened to a guy that was a crucial part of the 205. World Series that it seems to fall announcement that the pledge since that."

" Scott made the Iraqi team -- a minor league invite. He provided nice speed off the bench and the one adjustment he had to make. We're not playing every day initially hit well as a pinch hitter. Then he struggled with fewer and fewer ballots on the second half of the season but. Is he is still there he showed up its spring training. In the best shape of his life like 187 pounds of about 1% body fat leg a week and we mean the guy -- just carved in -- Get a nice strength really -- Iraqis want him to make thirteen the -- was. Mixtures scholar at their top outfield prospect just. And it came out of nowhere he was supposed to start the year in triple a and he finished playing as well as anybody on that came so when he made it the zednik got squeezed out there. And they can help you know and a limited role on the American League stuff that you don't play much he still has that he's not done yet he had a good strength."

" We have for Joe Kelly our colleague at the sometimes trite saying that. Does Scott was also those guys even when things go well in 2005 during the World Series run. He -- he would be perfect form and you talk about being cut 1% body fat. Even the point -- the uniform had a fit right."

" And that rubbed some people wrong way that he had to be a 100% to go out there and and give an adult was there any of that with the Rockies did they did they see -- that maybe not. Warm up to their kind of aspect of Scotty pods personality."

" Well I have heard that and the difference where that car he was always healthy. He was never injured in Colorado he had changed his work out routine you don't -- turning on some other. -- don't believe types comic injuries and prior to joining Iraqis the winner of -- for the 2008 she's -- completely revamped his work or change you have never injured in Colorado. So some of that stuff that I had heard about Chicago never surfaced endeavor because. You've never heard the issue endeavors each issue that extra guy Diaz -- new role and he could not have been more professional about it even mentor to some of the younger players she's kind of accounting board. If you will so. Again I heard about those things better and and Colorado they did not did not become an issue at all."

" I don't know why is he on the scrappy I. I -- get any ideas as to why nobody was interested."

" Well he. He's not Kitna doesn't ensure that profile -- center fielder anymore and that and I think he can still play -- can do it 57 days a week now that's how you stretch but. Not many teams have a corner outfielder doesn't have power and so he needs just unspecific fifth word -- going to let him play and be a leadoff hitter. Hundred Stevie Nash used on an everyday basis but if she's not -- center fielder most teams don't want to put a guy without power in the corner spot."

" Here in town also for the Rockies and we apologize for the weather but then again may be brighter from Colorado of his I don't think was all agreed -- Sunday when not. They played the Phillies and there's a story in the USA today -- today about the batting averages around the league in this April being so far. We're only weekend of the season record setting four bowl batting average for a look around to 62. For this month it's almost month of any in the decade. And the weather has been awful yesterday we have washed out here Detroit with the Sox in the and the Tigers and of course the Cubs in and Rocky barely got big game in on Monday. Yet the Rockies team looks like he can hit but he really can't pitch and Jason Marquis goes the mound today how is Jason made the adjustment."

" Happily had a very difficult spraying how to create a little bit of hand wringing because I feel a couple extra left enough. I Tucson went down an Arizona he was tightening into mechanical issues and you guys know each child at some point -- some confidence issues. He got it fixed -- gentry to their bench coach -- after his worst value this spring campaign is going to be high high and you wait until the bell rings on now. -- they'll be fine sir can pitch into the game as anybody did have this season other than Obama managed in Arizona but. Jason went seven innings two runs in the home opening win over Philadelphia had two hits along with it. We're going to break through like chicken Little League can show how hard de -- blue pinstripe Manso. It Jason Marquis competes in the players like playing behind him because he works fast she gets ground balls. The issue is whether the three starter and that seems rather ambitious mean you can argue the last year bass -- as part of the Dutch Pirates starter baseball. It's Iraqi economy and get three if not a war and can he do that at this point in his career -- little bit of a stretch I do love his attitude he competes and that has a lot forgot it's going to have to pitch happy --"

" Yeah obviously if he knows what it's like to switch teams and do you get a sense that. But his first game back here against the Cubs gives them a little more -- he talked about --"

" I parking gates and on Monday about a to a personal you know I think it is -- she liked playing for Chicago he really is tight with a bunch of the players over there so that's not the issue. But he would have frequent target of criticism from fans cheer sunbathing or even when he got introduced on Monday the boos rain down on him and I asked him about that much it'd be kind of party that wants to prove people wrong and kind of -- said. He had some interest that athletes members told me -- I think you're gonna argue is proof that people -- behind the hour show that their right -- why do I want people are my highly doubt me. I never had to put that way and it makes sense that metric usually is an hour show everybody. You know like I agree that it's want to show people who are always up and got my back with the other right for out of my back but just. It was fine if the Cubs convention not long after marquis was traded. There's a candy told Jim Hendry you know how can we give up Markey we need does anybody can actually hit the -- have happened after two years up again. I like -- professional he competes he's been in the playoffs every year area of his career and Iraqi like kids veteran influence you've been good for them."

" What was your take on the Cubs going into the season now we're weekend and they they open on the road yet. They've had success having seen them on Monday up close that they do anything to change your perception. Whatever was going into the season."

" Well -- the best team in the National League Russia regular season and they should be right there again this year I mean their lineup they are they in the village for me the best lineups in the National League can beat you a lot of different ways they are the Phillies speed -- not a topic. They hurt Q -- the power to the metal. I like the versatility and you know would have a shot until Christmas of the terrible in the -- and Aaron Miles. Sitting in -- a lot of different ways. I'm not sold on Kevin Gregg as the closer I'll be honest I saw him a lot of the Marlin Jeff last year and I just I feel much more as a setup guy. So Carlos Marmol that it takes that role. You know to me they will be the best team in the National League -- whether or not they get out of -- I think it's a burden of history I covered them last year when they lost the Dodgers. They probably played their worst games of the season then and you can't say there's not some of that. History hanging over a -- created Kevin hit in the playoffs if they ever -- specifically Soriano at the top I can't see him not advancing to the World Series where they -- I don't know but I they should advance to the World Series."

" Illustrate a Mully and Hanley Chicago Sports Radio SIX SEVENTY The Score we're talking Detroit rink from the Denver post the baseball writer and death I -- I find that fascinating you did you use the term that the the weight of history on them -- you really think that it's that did pass spell yours can affect the current team."

" I do I am covering the Red Sox when they were trying to get a break the curse finishes great teams that -- unexplainable things in. That's why you know as much as I I Lowe Curt Schilling my personal level the guy. Basically embraced the curse and say -- go get I want to be they got to Brady you need somebody like that with the Cubs and Campanella as a manager to agree that way the one player to player than you love it to come from his starting pitchers got to take. You know basically -- the curse I'm I'm going to be that guy in this and that's -- only got to stop. Warning about the negative department say I'm of the don't want it this squash it and I -- talent -- you look at that team. They should have breezed through the playoffs last year and the Dodgers the Dodgers weren't very good chance and I see them all the time. Without Manny Ramirez -- 500 team and they clobbered the Cubs have Achilles there are good key moment in our offense when they're when they're on they're dynamics. -- the Cubs should be in the World Series and I do feel watching the Cubs Fletcher in the playoffs. It becomes a mental issue it really doesn't -- they'll say is bad that's another story that. You can't play as poorly as they didn't say it has nothing to do with history and the."

" Choi who is -- enjoyed -- joining us from the Denver post covers Colorado Rockies in town. For the Cubs and Rockies series of course in the get a day average and -- who's that guy covered playoff series last year. You know in meaningful addition really is Milton Bradley can he beat a guy who can beat a guy he's not the lineup while that much."

" We can't it cannot they'll take found Bradley deftly got hired personality and I was in LA the night he went Dennis Rodman and Torre sure -- Obama understands. You know and you see that -- it's very it's crazy bad his teammates like him you know that -- dodger teammates and for Cleveland Indians TH and -- you know bell rings this guy you want on your side in a decent stuff. You know that it's a little bit different -- censured for each -- I don't see him being a woman can change that culture in terms of they're encouraged me if a guy who can dominate what Zambrano for instance as he deals with some confidence issues he should never be a mediocre pitcher with his stuff. It's that kind of guy that he grabs this thing by the throat and Saddam might cheer you on my back came. You know Harden got stopped so he can -- best pitcher in baseball but I can't see him -- personality standpoint. Embracing it that way but politically Zambrano. They like Ted Lilly competes pretty saturated with. There's enough talent there to do that's what I'm getting that led Bradley won't be that guy just because I can't see him playing more than 120 games."

" While Curt Schilling before he retired he toyed with the idea of coming to the Cubs -- I believe you brought up the idea of governor becomes -- his website Madonna dismissed the idea that he retired. Image below the want to personal assaults. I was -- affairs it is up to that."

" But life just covered MIK over the years the Diamondbacks won the World Series in 2001 and he's got a little Ron Burgundy -- I'm on the."

" I have a that's that's just it's not. -- maybe eight you know they didn't it into a table for one at times during his career and your teammates crazy aunt. It's beautiful. But -- the end of the day we look at it -- word com few weeks ago fan I'd. I don't like the guy and I think he should be in the Hall of Fame because he's the best big game pitcher that I've seen when he went in the playoffs that's figure company goes to."

" You go everyday to your company or thirty years you you don't watch had a cake at the end -- can save them from hostile takeover you get the jaguar in the front parking spot."

" They're when it counted most off I make up stuff try to -- for the Denver -- right -- really appreciate a lot of spot. Anytime that figure hang in there and make them propose that Colorado right I love it as a newspaper guy -- there -- a new favorite guy really funny stuff of Roger."
