" And we don't they OnStar hotline and punch it up with Paul Sullivan our body and what are the best round he's covered the Chicago Cubs forever for the Chicago Tribune and he was there. In the audience one not Carlson Bronson non serious about this -- party Dillon. I saw Andre say yeah. Like Clinton finished it brings a -- call Boston and the surreal conversation and and first did you think you -- just -- who later they're just. Have they have a little fun with you."

" Well I I brought up the -- I'm Randy Johnson just 1300. And then not that he could. You you know get a 300 mark based definite schedule going to hang around that long. With all the money they make another stupid no way you know I'll be gone in after my contract and and then of course -- no way any big way and I. Just says degenerated from there I bet in my hundred dollars and so. So we -- bet on I don't know I'll still be here and Tigers got caught this but you know."

" Let's say I take. Some -- all it's just so ridiculous I mean I again. I I really read this thing possess. The guys finally gotten kind of find -- punished or whatever mean instead of enabling him lose seems to finally been. Cornered into doing something about him missing -- flight time -- the suspension and everything else and at and he's basically gonna hold a pretzel returns flow."

" Yeah -- think you know we may be trying to change his image term lunatic family guy here. You know I cannot mention all the mothers days because mom and -- life -- you know and why your mom in that I have that playing slider. I'm scared off. But -- hotel where there. Got all the money in the world -- I don't know you know I mean we won't notes for five years doing that I'm sure -- mind -- taken too seriously because. I mean -- front of the plate if you're you're retiring the age of 33 Agassi would be humbling that. You're turning down a probably a good 4050. Million dollar contract and assuming -- still good in the next day after five years."

" Silly broke the story about him missing the charter on Monday which coincided with his birthday so I don't know he was seven himself -- party back in Chicago but didn't make the charter. I ended up in Atlanta on Tuesday and then as Malik said they're -- calls and and I think not once but twice. They say we're going to handle this internally but. -- the other reports say that this is not first time offense. What is it when you look at Carlos what is it with Carlos now how to lose teammates look at him. He's a terrific talent he's come through it comes right back -- and doesn't miss a beat on the mound but. -- they tiresome as the work word on news and I'm tired of of watching all the other stuff I was teammates look at the same way or would they even care."

" I think it's just at a point now where they they just know with him -- him in them. They don't really look at him as anything other than what he is say he's not the greatest teammates -- how. Leno if you wanted to did you stay home in the person can only reason. There's no doubt that would give them that they are the and then tell them you know. Given them permission to do that he doesn't all the time I mean I was on the flight back last night with a Dempster and Kevin Gregg. It's too damn easy to get the permission to get them you know play the -- played off but he just wants to do things his own way and now. It's just -- to the point now where you know he's kind of like the Reggie Jackson of the team he thinks he's the Astros aren't. And he's really you know he is a great talent no doubt about that but. It is a team game and million honestly poor guys on one way in love there's one guy upon his own way and I don't know how that's ever going to change at this point."

" He's all solved in the Chicago Tribune Cubs beat reporter and you're listening to Mully and Hanley on the score on. Do you get this sense that he didn't like kind of being. And not. I guess there are two different mes won't lose like five minutes the other -- about twenty minutes and and we were told of this final will no -- said exactly what was did you get the sense that he didn't care for that."

" Another is only one meaning. I think that was him needs who showed up. Yet he he met with them. And that he would really only about 510 minutes should loose stretching out to Tony -- somehow I don't know how that works best. A starter out there is basically one meeting and -- just. That basically said hey hey hell if you want off at me you can't do this you make -- move. Basically making McCain look bad the Cubs to me pitching like they're more interest shouldn't you know finding out how I found out how they've been. Actually anything else Alou is sure. Kind of telling me and -- I'm gonna get my meetings in my hotel room from now on if this is the way it's going to be it. I did well you know when I'm up at your office door with the collapse. I can't hear everything your saying. I felt -- I don't know I you'd -- be playing it just. Yeah I think it's just going to be ongoing that the rest of the year after his career he's always going to say something -- something he -- he's just the way if you get."

" Where that. Where's this Cubs team that right now they're they're obviously two games above I know that twenty point six but. What's the sense you get this team is this a 500 team until a -- from mears gets back. When he gets back is that going to solve everything is just hit a team a team that can put together an eight or nine game win streak it like they did the -- mostly losing streak."

" What it certainly have. Starting pitching did put together a streak like that arena -- thing to me is they've wasted how many good start sending the Chinese well I'll just it's just an unbelievable. Com you know even visited Zambrano has to a good start playing really though he's been pitching pretty well."

" But I yeah I don't see that hitting into the lineup yesterday was just painful to watch -- Especially with men in scoring position what they're hitting two Thirtysomething like faster. Soriano hitting -- ninety's -- guys in scoring position two -- It since I mean around this is their best clutch -- they don't have him."

" And no one is really picking up the slack game."

" I don't really see that happening until around comes back I think this team is really have to change the whole. You know outlook on things and just -- is starting pitching team going to have to win a lot of low scoring games. This season and how are community based -- that a little better on this road trip but overall. You know -- the -- will not happen."

" I just have played was -- twelve. Total extra innings in the last I think games do you get paid for another game ball fallen every -- A lot of extra work I had contract yeah. That's why -- it is ridiculous to execute that that they can't get it done again Soriano yesterday had a chance that it in the ninth inning and I mean god blessed me at home run later. But there are free to do it in regulation to God's sake people want to go home."

" He had a picture -- it's not a good lineup it's just different from you know with when Derrek Lee. They're not hitting like Derrek Lee many in the middle lineup from the get go Bradley who. -- You know that your. Bishop. It just I -- I watched."

" Paul Sullivan from the Chicago Tribune joints -- the -- daily show covers Chicago Cubs and -- have a story today in the paper about Ryan Dempster -- what he's going through with his wife with their newborn. -- can fill in our listeners what's going on this he's kept quiet about this. But -- baby was born -- they a very kind of rare congenital disease and they've been dealing with -- you're on the flight home to Chicago with. Ryan Dempster last night because he's there's another procedure today on the baby."

" Yeah. We -- know about this the writers and I think from other people immediately known about it. Simply we know them being any of April and and Ryan after -- not to mention and I traded we respect that he. Decided this weekend to talk about the cut to Gordon from and sometimes first inning yesterday -- good. I mean that Carrie -- 'cause I can't make. Is that I've never heard of it before but it had called to New York syndrome and it's -- I defects that -- missing chromosome where. If it prevents. A kid come. Swallowing and digesting food so it had today the little -- a -- machines. That you know help or swallow. I won't do couple procedures already. I'm not sure all the medical tech terminology -- saying it's very scary thing prepare kids to go through something like that and you really your heart goes out to Ryan and match like Jenny because. I mean I don't know how he couldn't and I I couldn't do it back concentrate on your job. -- perform well you know knowing this. Happening and being away from his wife and kids during that film I -- I told my you know maybe he should take a leave them instead. You know he's you know baseball -- like -- say pay them. That he feels a lot better when he's with his teammates and it out and get through this from. So yea your hearts go out to all men but it sounds like -- final. Are going to be are going to get better and as she can't live a normal life my cousin -- Kelly has little girl that -- had something like this surge had to George syndrome there's a lot of different -- symptoms but and -- just. I think a -- and she kept functioning well so. Yet just something he's going to have to deal with the -- It's just saying that it just goes to show that these guys period you know they're real people like the rest of us -- that matter how much money how much -- have. You know you're gonna go to some challenges in your life tremendous as one improve trying."

" All right all -- started Tribune Cubs beat reporter does a great job selling always enjoyed its occupation jumping out with a six forget number this. --"
