" Yes okay. And yeah."

" I mean. It's. Okay. Heads brilliance badly at Chicago Sports Radio six -- I ended up definitive and that -- get -- star I don't welcoming a man who was SC and."

" Nine last night along with the Chicago Cubs it's Mets -- at first base coach and -- are you --"

" I don't good good morning how are you it was a wet and rainy night in their -- delays getting started an up and maybe one of the shortest rain delays government finally the game. Has to and early but but a big win and everybody happy right."

" Yeah I'm very happy you know. You know the weather was very unpredictable and there was a lot of showers and then there was sort of going. All around us but you know there was a nice W."

" You guys have won nine of twelve and it seems as though you beginning to hit a little bit of his stride in and get some of your biggest weapons are on the disabled list how is this happen what's been the key."

" Well you know what so we've got great starting pitching and a you know we've had some major injuries but you know we just move forward one day at a time and we've got some nice players and and -- loved one day we just try to go out and not get the job done."

" Sweat it -- it. I tell you what I you know I think Soriano was ago said it when now when Ramirez went out he said this. Now's the time for everybody's step up you have to do it when one guy goes down and these guys step up we know that in sports everybody knows that's what's supposed to happen. But you've seen it with your starting pitching in particular in my world I I love the way. -- everybody has is pretty much. Pitched increase they're they're -- what do you do -- got a little bit better of what they're doing since Carlos Zambrano goes out now you know he's coming back it's got to feel pretty good."

" Yet it was real good I can certainly get nice team that not everybody works really hard and pick each other up so it's. That snowstorm of the ballpark didn't we've got some very capable people enough. You know everybody just does their job and takes a one David karma you know hopefully -- really work out for us."

" you spend a lot of time working with Geovany Soto that the Cubs catcher and day it's been a rough go for him. For most of this season what happened last night do you feel like that's something that that he can build on a little bit here."

" No doubt anybody you know he's such a great kid and a great catcher after a fabulous here last year historical slow. But that we all have all the confidence -- you know there's no doubt about he's going to hit. He's received the ball very well -- it well we tweaked just a few things so -- is growing. You know he's going to be there where we need them problem than last night it was just hopefully that's certainly something really special for him because. He's got bats he's got power and in the -- great leader."

" Mets and out so the first base coach of the Chicago Cubs and you're listening to Mully and Hanley on the scores X they've been filling in for Brian is on vacation this week -- and -- you know. You obviously. Mean maybe maybe people don't know but you're a second round pick coming into a Major League Baseball and and then that. I kind of bounced up and -- up and down and that's never played more than 37 games and a single season but but had yourself a career. You you probably have a very unique insights. Into what Bobby scales has been through I mean this is one of the great feel good stories that we've seen this year. I think you had one career home run he's hit a home run a big -- I would."

" What did you parts yeah he would still like we're down like that. Blood pay bodies such a wonderful person then you know he that you can't beat. Any happier for a guy like got to spend a lot of time in the minor leagues had not. He's worked very hard he believes in himself in his culture and done such a great job -- you're so happy. What you start men and -- you battle over -- sure that I get a kick -- He's he's just wonderful individual and he's he's really contribute very nicely and not. He's great in the locker music great kids so it's it's a nice story and -- he has success for a long time now."

" What you don't was funny because when he came up we talked a woman and any was saying how he talked about. Being a substitute teacher in the offseason and deaths some of the things you have to goes -- is it if if we it was a career minor leaguer. And yet. He came up by a want to say we talked on Monday or Tuesday and he said well someone's got to pitch on Friday an enormous kitchen. He he figured he was going down now is things turned out he has stuck around. Do you expect him to stick around long -- easy one of these guys is just can Obama on the verge charity dumb enough to stick around a little longer how do you view him."

" We ought to make those decisions but I there right now he's opened a lot of eyes you don't. He's done a lot of things very well -- you secure bowers hit a line drive hitter he's played really great -- second based. He's a wonderful. Person so you know you pull for guys like that. And there's no doubt about it you know he arrived in 'cause he's really made that the best of the situation so her -- I hope you stay sharp for a long time."

" For those who don't know match Sinatra was being with Luke and -- the Cubs manager for a while now it will -- in a variety of different. The types of jobs when when it comes to this guy who -- I think the public sees a guy who. The you know wears his emotions on his sleeve and -- has funny mannerisms about him but but you know the guy. Behind closed doors you know the real the Perillo what's -- like Q can you share with us what fans can't see."

" Yeah or you know -- Percival I've been fortunate QB was some great managers and sparky Anderson to La Russa took Bobby Cox chuck Taylor. And I play there's I think there's nobody better that looked and -- You know you're staying with him he's got such a great passion for the game -- he's got a big heart to. People probably don't see that side of -- you know he cares very much about his players. And that's why all the players were really art form. And the nice thing whether your staff member warrior. Player you know will you stay -- you know I'm in charge of the catching that theory is not getting done. Then -- accountable for but you know what. He's just you know I I have been with him along time but now he's got a lot of fire a lot of passion for the game he's a great cameraman so. And just you know he's sort of pressure on -- A lot of one liners are hardly pumped up to that question about it just the one thing I can tell you lose that. He can't -- superstars in those the young players come up about good old Seattle we've had Griffey and Edgar Martinez and deodorant. And if you go back and ask these guys you know basically we should best manager I'm sure they -- a -- well."

" Yeah he seems to be a player favor additional question about it without being a guy who allows players to just run the asylum so to speak. The -- one of the things that I think is most impressive about and -- and really the entire staff is. Now with the Cubs in your three years but with the Cubs what we've seen is this team be able to. Handle some really adverse situations whether it was you know your first year here where obviously players for fighting with one another in the first couple months and faster and you guys managed it to get through that. Make the playoffs you know this first month of this season which was a roller coaster ride in value kind of stabilizing it what's the key to making that happen."

" Well you gotta be positive and not you have looked good move forward and you know everybody knows where -- stay where they stand they have everybody knows what I have to do. It's a total team effort you know from the front office down now they've done a great job put it -- Team together and Lou has a really. Great I had not know how to use the bullpen and how to use personnel to make good successful. Skill players and it's usually. Like every year it's taken about two or three weeks to really find out what people have success in their roles. -- today and the most important thing he gives everybody a chance to get in the situation to win ball games. And whether it's the bullpen to work out of the right to -- there -- blow things like death and also out of these very clever."

" He's Mets and I took the Cubs first base coach and listening to Mully and Hanley on the score and death I guess. Coach I I looked -- loop -- now I remember reading the story in the New York Times and talked about how. When he was a player that that he was known to Kennedy was obsessed with hitting and with his batting stance -- one of these guys to get up in the middle of the night he'd he'd like -- misses as he was going I discussed in front of the mirror and as going to check this out how does this -- just working. I always working and that that batting stance. We watch him as a manager and we know he likes to tinker he's a team Torre like step. And change the lineup move guys around constantly thinking about different ways of you will this work we do this we do that. Do you guys is it is it Justine is able to spend every waking hour talking about -- do you just sit there and listen to him going over different ideas and and contribute to that. -- have a life outside of it when you're in season."

" Not saying you know even drive into the parking lot and -- as we drive together and he might make up for five different til lineups. He's very creative thought he this statistically he knows exactly that match -- who's going to be -- be successful that particular dealt a pitcher. So he does little work in bad yesterday it is talked about all they want. I have to pay you know if you going to be committed you know it's tough to win divisions. One year kids to have it back to back tears started got to be well prepared and that. How he does that and we can talk baseball lot of natural or here for -- you know love. Driver of the ballpark drive at home. I mean I haven't -- with -- memorably ever watched I mean there's times do we drive home and there would definition -- Q how you know that just tells you -- passion it is -- what she wants to bring want to keep Chicago."

" And obviously you know getting the winning team that's what it's all about if you look at that the team that you have this year I going on get looked more left handed. If -- take -- one player that I was surprised by this year it has to because he Fukudome not because I didn't believe he could do it but because he just seems so lost at times at the end of last season and even in the World Baseball Classic he was it seemingly -- By his home country but then. We've watched this kind of player. I don't know policing player development we've seen confidence built is MIA oversimplifying it by just calling a confidence issue."

" Well -- relatives -- difficult to you obviously that play in the major leagues and especially at you know the great relationship can't come over here a lot of expect to comment. You know he started out really great last year. He -- any -- down a little bit I think more more it was probably maybe the word -- possibly -- you know. I'm not an expert on that seven and they want to use a great kid he came into camp. He worked till the very heart and his body to get stronger. He has been accused I'm sure it's so very nicely had to us and that's what they expected in the eighties and he's really fun player watch we can do a lot to help a club wanted to."

" talked earlier about Luke and LA and NS five different lineups sometimes that'll have in his head and start sharing with -- I feel as though ever since this guy this goes back Tuesdays and Seattle. For whatever reason it is golden baseball gods have not bless this man -- which. A relief bullpen that that he can trust and and how would -- nasty boys to me but since since the days in Seattle he had yet. Three great guys in Cincinnati but ever since it's always been the one thing or another it's never really complete I would think that in today's game. That's the toughest thing that any manager has to deal."

" Well thanks so you know we have quality coaches and our bullpen you know. But you know you know when you get new people you just have to find out to where they fit -- best. And that's one thing he has a great knack of doing you know or we've had people another Seattle. You know that possibly you know I look at Jeff Nelson who has had a ton of success when he played with -- I already did and before you know in the years of personnel that put him in the right role to get a tough variety out instead of you know maybe another manager ligament Steagall act you know 23 innings and -- lot of lefties were you know he did that was put it that -- where he got beat up felt like -- before you know. He has a plan for everybody and everybody knows how what their roles going to be and it takes awhile to -- kind of move around and and to work with just good to see it was the -- possibility -- enough so that's what all the that he has is no doubt about it you know obviously is a winner and he does the same thing possibly you know like -- so -- the matchups. You know he knows exactly what players hit awful club. -- that picture and and then. Well who's going to give us best chance to win such -- bottom line."

" He's -- and after the Cubs first base coach -- we appreciate your time would you go would just on the way out but you mention all the different outline of you talk about the conversation you have. Is there ever a point we just have to say the -- that one's crazy. That line up -- you've just got your mind is just absolutely safe."

" Not choose not to -- it could put. I don't drive off the road."

" I don't leading off had a that we. That's another I was I can't -- had to go to lineups I can't imagine them thinking of a lot of spent all my driving -- drive right past the -- yeah did you would have no chance of did you need to have somebody today actually is concentrating a way to go and didn't that happen once like your first year here didn't happen we're blue accidentally missed the -- I was with."

" Tell ya know actually I we try to that we were doing a lot of thought to. We look -- called out of proportion but it was kind of shoddy want to go to the ballpark actually when we got there but just yeah that was got a lot of we do I would say this from do you have a lot of -- what we do you know -- venues is a lot of a lot of how many -- do."

" Yeah it's apparent they did you guys have a good time and he is about you know what I love about -- they you know you kind of did you see what you get you know he's a guy that wouldn't when he's feeling good you can make a joke and have a laugh at himself. And when he's not in the in the correct -- as the wrong questions you get the response to expect from that as well so yeah yeah."

" Do you really do it and it's don't know if my area didn't work out that -- a longer ride -- you want to see."

" All right that we wish you many short ride by Fred makes so much. I have to thank you so much guys take care back Sadat and so that was -- I thought I easily easily real savvy guy himself -- it's."
