" We did our programming -- you the following special. Reporters know."

" The pay for my notebook."

" Mike Mulligan have you read the sports columns in the newspaper Brian Hanley RBI from. I just -- newspapers so LeBron every. There is no fool you might we didn't pan out -- tough because here comes the inside the."

" Elliott Elliott she's got a Sports Radio 67 of the sports time now for -- reporter's notebook what -- to firefighters are all great people triple -- sports dot com they have important awards Florio shining."

" Made for a day and Versteeg to a decision rising sports stars are going to appear triple transports on the very same day they Winger Chris Versteeg on December 13 from five until 6:30 PM. And running back Matt Forte also at 5 PM tickets are false signings are available now can be purchased online at triple threats towards -- Cowboys can always going to -- 708. 4798875. Or can stop on by. 19031. Old LaGrange road -- you also birdied I'm an arts -- is your holiday home headquarters."

" Hey I had great stuff in the paper today smart guy Chris Deluca in the Chicago sun times page 72 of the brave one taking extra with just. He talks to Ozzie about Josh Fields and and goes over I was he's impressions of what happened with Josh Fields and and why -- things didn't work out from and Ozzie said that they couldn't believe. When -- was called up how -- always. Is defensive just deteriorated and he said that he had. Appeared to make some strides in spring training any. Finally went -- all the it was this is not good enough into what the hell happened do you. And and that's when he found out that. That the knee problem was killed it was really bother him and he's so as he then made the decision not to shut him down and and fields had surgery. On his right knee in October by all accounts will be ready and raring to go fight to start trading chip well it turns up before then."

" Yeah I yelled yeah it was bad enough at the plate is bad 15617. Strikeouts and five hits. And twentieth and 32 at bats and as you said Ozzie goes to goes what's going on he put it all this time in spring training this is not the guy we were looking at then. And then he was a problem now is that guarantee that he comes in the spring training grabs third base and is often running you hope that. Did either case because they're also talking about. Now having done another young guy at second base and gets. And -- Jerry Owens on center field likely that they'll be opening day center fielder she's center fielder so. You don't have your youth movement and Josh Fields going to have to build on that corner spot. For them to have any kind of success -- it."

" Yes that he's going to go down to south Florida work out these guys and yeah says Joey isn't. As he says -- that he got the phone call his request not mind they've that he said he listened and I come down in the offseason the south Florida and work out which you. And Joey Cora. At according to Ozzie this is a direct quote said he's going to take ground balls worked out with -- some sort of because he wants to get better he knows he has a shot to be the third -- I think that's brilliant. I think that's fantastic just feels showing he knows there's an opportunity he knows that position there they're looking to fill it. But -- think he will get the first bite the apple with as a young guy you know obviously there's been talk to Chone Figgins have been talking most of it looks like to don't want to use movement so Josh Fields. He recognizes an opening he calls is manager of says listen I'm coming down there. And you're gonna you're gonna hit ground balls to me and I. And you're gonna teach me how to be better infielder at you just get to manage right used to hide kids Joey Cora on your side show a little extra effort worked out I I I'm I'm all over it."

" It reminds me of when Joe Crede hit a period the horrific season he had where he would have a clue at the plate. And during an offseason we talked to grab walker by a number of times where. Joe Crede would come back into town to reinforce five times in the off season. And spend a few days of Greg Walker and get that batting stroke back and that's when he finally settled in before the back issues but. -- and the willingness to put the time. Go I -- over above and and am beyond what people that should they escape and let guys said. You go to -- so I think it's a smart move by young guy who some people question whether even want to be playing with the Chicago White Sox last year. Hopefully it pays off for him from day one."

" All right that's our reporter's notebook. We're going to talk to Joe tiller next beat the former Purdue head coach and we'll ask him about the two quarterbacks in the game and and how -- out of retirement so what does -- months into it -- treated at -- volley -- Daley -- Chicago Sports Radio so SIX SEVENTY The Score great story. Compelling and rich."
