" Number well like your brother a lot of lives pretty good numbers don't lie well maybe they do John -- stat of the yeah there's good numbers look good too because and you get it up crazy numbers I like children don't fly. Not a bad day say that for agenda lunch on the line Murphy has made famous over the years."

" Everything ran until lunch and -- and John and don't mind from baseball info solutions not comment death steadily dot com hello John."

" Look here's another battle why did what they drive big runs per Chicago can't get -- Half or were waterlogged. Well you know what. It helps when the either that your team that he is gonna run did you pitching is very obscure pitching there's like a little bit of both not. As the cubs' and sox' lives and give up 18 star one -- seventeen give up three to Sox have been on both ends in the last week. The Cubs go 67 games as you know John on the road trip where they had great. Starting pitching really good pitching good star Ron last night they -- seven -- re runs and they can't hold the other team down we have a pretty it is thick -- recovered scored a total of five runs on the last -- okay. Advance that agenda 118 years what most. Visit him -- dot com the great publication. Is not fielding Bible to bill James handbook. And much much more John I know you've got a full platter as you always do but. First thing. Pull up there on your own little computer -- Paul hill newspaper as you can find real quick and I don't know you -- I make it did as the standings with. This morning at. For the National League central that would be that comes in the American League central that would be. The White Sox since okay bowl ever played relatives of table games and fourth place. Now how many games back. Here's where we get this thing in -- paper just called GB games behind it's been enough forever the first place team as -- The little three bats Felix's to to do it is they're not behind anybody right that. The second lets look at Israel what -- while the White Sox aren't how many games back in fourth place behind Detroit. Art department have their for the white facts behind Detroit Tigers and it would be under that category gene begins behind that we've also engines were little kids right yep. I than I have now. The Chicago Cubs -- five games but I don't know half game better than my -- And -- fourth place also then they're in fourth place called the average fan would be very not correct on solid ground to -- well. The Cubs are closer to first place five bat in the -- than they once had sort of old and a -- back and -- don't be a true statement that generally right."

" And that would surely be not however are off yeah I think you have an idea about where your -- go for -- well."

" A few years ago I -- this past year and -- did not disagree with me which made me feel good best -- should be another column -- hundred and you know. 25 year old standings we see GP games behind and then next to the TGB absolutely love games behind -- have fully agree with -- I think if I could go ahead there's the problem. That Cubs aren't five games back of Milwaukee. Second place -- only one out but Cubs are four behind them I'm going to save five plus far. That's no they're nine back from panda Cubs are also two and a half behind the third place Cincinnati. Console I'm -- end is up 52 -- the Cubs are right now the last look at total games behind eleven and -- half games behind."

" I think that's a very good way to -- get a -- big got to have all three teams got together first in other words."

" Let's say all three teams were tied for first the smart let's say the Bruins the Cardinals and reds were all tied for first and the Cubs were five games back in the fourth. What they really be able in five games to catch up. All three of those teams -- would you can win five in a row and all three of those teams would never have to lose five in a row right right and what it doesn't happen. Not through I think Murphy not threw lightly and but they've played each other. In the unbalanced I was central division where you played each other almost all the time somebody knows how -- it would be okay."

" Football home right now -- two of his face each other so when you hear are the experts say well you know what the Cubs are alive and I have a five bad sides of five and I have done what really."

" It's a lot more than that but the Sox are closer why didn't the Royals and Minnesota. Three Fran have that is so the point is John you must then the second place before the game behind is accurate would you agree that the best way to admitted are his."

" I agree in the total disrespect for the Cubs lover and have the right side it's good. I don't know if I got another about it yep so they're out there are actually closer to --"

" It's closer. I -- never really dot com what do you have for us today my friend."

" We're talking about scoring and our wanted to give you erupted in scoring goes you know mother had there are really bad stretch lately have pat White Sox seventeen runs -- but that was an anomaly young -- But it -- in baseball this year scoring himself and if you project out to the end of the season and -- the average team will -- about 45 more runs than they did last year."

" Now I'm not mistaken. The last two or three years it's been dramatically dropping total runs at the end of the end a lot of people say and probably true because of taking the steroids out of this year's us. Hitters -- muscle."

" And while that could very well being out of pitchers you know there are few pictures on here argue that there is doing well but does that they've got the Dodgers -- they're on pace to score over 100 more home runs this year than last. Todd Tampa Bay Rays took over a 150. Runs more so both those two guys scoring -- this here. Not the Mariners. Are on pace to score put him there weren't very good last urinary even been worse this year they're on pace to score. 69 fuel runs. And that's the third worst in baseball. There are located. Now cool. -- terror I'd hate to score 41 it's -- to score a 120. Fewer runs. And the other is peace -- 134. Fuel run them last year alcohol I don't wild guess to look to which team he's our."

" Well I'm sitting here at NBC tower is the CBS studios John and we're not far from Madison street which divides north and south. I just tell me I'm about 3536. Blocks from one side to the other from both these teams they're."

" Both are both. That Kolb and a 120. Pure run -- of course you're the highest scoring here and then the National League last year and this year they're on pace to score 20. Fewer runs and the White Sox despite seventeen runs the last -- guys -- They're on pace to score a 134. Or fewer runs than last year."

" All well and that brings up bogged -- quote from our guy -- Harris in the sun times a quick kids today. He says how about those about the Cubs and Sox make a big trade Cubs hitting coach Alberto White Sox president George Brett walker."

" I can't get worse than this you cannot loosen the offense put that we've had on both the north from the outside it will get better -- I don't think these numbers -- going to hold but done my good. I think both teams are going to score more runs and but it's it's been emphatic."

" It's commercially John though one by the way we're just about 510 minutes away from. I didn't as far as Davis and mine does is from Nielsen under the best bids for lunch in Chicago over red. Browns now that was a little note the other day that Lopez now out. And eyes of Florida just curious he had -- the talk because you've been fielding Bible guy but. Movement ala. I don't know if there was panic setting in inherited mid had a cold one after the game or whatever but is that maybe we have to consider some day. Soriano back to second base why. Committed to get Marty hitting it into the lineup -- power in left or whatever because he's not getting any production. I don't miles. Freel. And up front and -- at second base so I don't -- How bad ones that -- how bad what did they have a guy like if Soriano was moved over to second base did you have -- good -- and --"

" Do I do okay so here here's how I look get a maroth but they have their offense senator -- together in terms of raw remember when we did in the fielding Bible converted do. Enter runs. Hope you if you look at perform for you started look at Soriano playing rough and -- miles playing that you. -- You would say guys keep offensively. Oh out of the -- tough guy in the the feel good good left good -- throwing -- a big big difference for Soriano so I I rate him as they -- fielder would save about five runs over the course from the team's defensive."

" Which would surprise many people that just this film because he looks awkward out there that he is a butcher but. He does have some attribute."

" A lot of you have to resentment toward him -- the -- more throughout that all of baseball. Among left fielders -- over the last three years wood is throwing arm and that never makes a big difference yeah. And I thought -- miles a little bit of a -- whatever combination I give them a plus five as well so he's got to believe those two guys. Real Hillary out final miles they had had a run defensively. And they -- a hard every guy who runs offensively based on their projections don't. The combination of good for Carnegie Jerod. Well you know if you if you look at what they've done so far how well. Is the I know. If you get -- the Cardinals paid to what did they Orlando went -- thirty runs from that thirty -- to -- That 182 drops to 152. So that's that's a bit took offense. Get back to where was they're going to lose thirty runs because of that. So what would you know how many runs would you get if you put -- Okay now. I don't power in left and Soriano at second well defensively. Yes and I thought maybe average -- forever it will pay back ever heard of it all out there in my field. Let's say he's neutral but you know books going at that are Soriano yeah what Soriano are -- a baseball man he with a butcher -- Was held little as the butcher or the butcher was Obama has ninety -- the last time you played and minus eleven and all four. Oh let's say you know he's a good average ought to minus fifteen pounds that -- had -- and the offense goes to minus fifteen runs. And that's reported five run different however. We'll -- flowers and bad you have all up. It's harder at 69 runs so if I know -- ten miles can't do it -- only do what they've been doing you're would be better off football power and Soriano to talk about seventeen run."

" I don't even know Soriano might be one of the worst fielding second base."

" I'm all time you get -- I -- I think travel miles especially proud I think you know member on the bill president of the fans welcome. I feel like Mike I don't know and I they'd get a comebacks. So is losing a vice president of the blues hope to come back yet -- aren't thicken our -- if you put those guys out there final does what he's supposed to do derby are Nady can run so it's better to get probably -- supposed to -- but if you can't do it. Sort out -- second -- power is not ridiculously."

" While. That sounds ridiculous but the numbers say it may be desperate times being desperate measures right."

" Up and the runs scored pay for these -- can -- that we meant everything that's pretty good."

" Before there's a cub fan here a Sox fan there is John go on and we're both right not trying to figure oh what I had to -- these teams John Olivia was this. Stat of the week from -- far -- thought okay. The White Sox last night they just pounded the ball everybody in the starting lineup had at least one hit. Pods would far. Alexi ram whats more up and down there is a Brian Anderson came in for the injury had three hits. I aged -- point is. I looked at all the batting averages and wood and prior to. The Sox game last night. And the batting average of each player after the game last night I don't get I would -- is but it's set a fund a look at. Brian Anderson started the night 286. -- is now hitting three O'Sullivan does not bad this late in the season up badly maybe he would answer out there well I tell you what now here. I'll pods -- pods started last night didn't twos 68. So far it's launch him up to 303. Doesn't have that many events we understand now. But everybody test and on the points last night. Almost put a White Sox and it appears they have their one and two slots blocked and finally with putts on the leading off. And maybe it looks like now Alexi Ramirez ended two solid like the feel -- that right now."

" Do what's let's hope it works off the field like he got back this year like he did last year it did take it below water level after all you only get about a block twenty or something. So."

" He if he did not -- did last year. It's going to be just fine it will be have you got paid and how is the job a lot of baseball info solutions dot com but easy to handle steadily dot -- to John does take -- I gotta sit next rate is Jan de La and."
