" 67."

" Good morning."

" I'm really L players. You know while in good. Plus exclusive though. -- officers went there."

" I don't feel like."

" An RBI single. The ones -- Home I'm -- Phillies for the 25 years. Always -- players. I'm a Sports Radio 67. About the guys out my welcome and our guy it was her -- tying the baseball's -- Named Corey get errors as far. Bob."

" yourself last time we talk to you here had -- Danbury and boy it was a week ago enough. Things have really been going great yeah."

" And then again because I have -- super week here."

" Annually at that that dope on the front page of the paper today you. Who actually got thrown out he didn't throw the beer but he was with the duel through dead in the biz buddies a standup guy as well I don't."

" You know what so. Like a bridge over troubled waters. The Pittsburgh Pirates. On this -- ago and that is that Steve Isuzu relief for Dave justice is a newspaper guy I mean I you know we've been talking about it early in the show. Both paper saying this they have these clowns all over the place I mean. And we and we may vary ME can we now they act like we're in a major metropolitan and city do we have to act like we're some. That."

" That's the front and back page of the sun times they can this guy away soon -- oversized WON. Yeah honing the total number one he still snowing until I I I don't kid you know it's a story understand but come on don't let the -- to."

" Yeah I know yeah yeah yeah -- and I hate to agree with -- very rarely do I I do agree. Plus it's -- you know okay I threw beer you know I guess he actually do it had -- like Al Smith for somebody I could not."

" And I -- Yeah pretty good shot to laughter."

" Hey what's a good job of that. Yeah and it's dangerous is -- fifty nothing anybody can do it is dangerous is made out. Shane Victorino have been hit in the head with a ball okay you know who we don't know all that -- we don't know what happens. I'll tell you what the media I was thinking about last night it's more disturbing because everybody is making such a big deal -- black guy on the heavy black down Wrigley Field. -- way above all the old games at Wrigley Field we're all the fans littered the field glitter -- outfielder Matt but come and pick it up and delayed the game twenty minutes. And that's why -- that is mob mentality and then you know one single guy is one thing. The mob mentality that is --"

" And that's why they don't hand out those giveaways in the bleachers till after the game now you get when you walk another place and I just hope they don't really overreacting cut off beer sales and I Benitez a kind of thing that it hurts the fans ultimately -- When fans go wild it just hurts other people someone comes up without some real owners sticker on the back page of the -- bar. AN and Neil Hayes are college sun times says this is the Wrigley Field so worst case scenario while baseball for the stuff what do you think they're not sold them much fear Yankee Stadium. Or the new Citicorp stadium then and -- on."

" You know what about Philadelphia until he continental still pay into. --"

" I mean in this you know people get over -- young people go to games and drink and much chance stupid thing. And we all know that and edit no it doesn't joyfully could happen this I feel like I will happen that. DO and happy to -- any of the end game Mitt. With the Phillies and Cubs it was a big deal for the Astros fans. Milwaukee Brewers or something you wouldn't be as big -- deal. I I agree these guys I mean now you out here we are talking about their goals like."

" Well and and you know wanted maybe that's the point of it may be that they did this -- toss or has taken pressure off the team in a weird way excuse we're not talking about how -- they they've been. -- so let's get -- career get a little sponsors serves an important role. -- But seriously let's let's get to that the baseball on the field they -- when you -- you could do it well but when you look at a team that can't beat teams with winning records and we turned loose cut there. Does that mean they can't win in the playoffs is that is that the project."

" Well you look at it. But Philadelphia's premier playoff team right now and -- guaranteed to be in the playoffs you're gonna have to build your Philadelphia yet for the World Series this year National League teams. And the Cubs beat the Phillies. And if they get slowly back and once they get Sam Brownback. And the Cubs beat the Phillies a three -- deal with three pitchers. I don't know -- I -- guy like Cliff -- a whole bunch you know I think he's pretty good pitcher pay death. And the line outside -- take the Phillies probably at almost every position. And you know that the Dodgers you know they won't forget about them because Cubs have played the dad -- play the next week. Both go to Colorado and -- take their lineup against the Cubs lineup and would you take their pitching against the Cubs no probably not spending and help -- Zambrano when he comes back. Well hey you know this team is -- few. Hey if even if it makes it failed it is showing nit -- they've shown it's bad excited shown that you know weaknesses. And people -- we're okay added fan and may get a weaker teams maybe you can you know I mean I mean it's like how to pitch. So now we know how to -- Soriano we -- of bad points are the Cubs so. You know can they make the playoffs yet they can make the playoffs. They gonna go anywhere probably not because the play officers are pitching you know and a little bit of timely hitting everything in the last two years. I don't know when it comes at the last two years and look like the regular season this year."

" Dave van -- joining us is usually does ceremony hellish on Friday or baseball guru from the -- evil empire the Tribune and Hardwicke Meyer our colleague in the sun times say writing is inside pitch column. Says that if Luke gets his team clawing back in the first place and into the playoffs he should when he platinum version a manager of the year award. Now existing and no baseball season's fluid but we went from spring training or Lewis. Wording -- to not do just think they'll be in October playing baseball so now he should be manager of the year if -- get them back into the playoffs I."

" You have -- yeah it's unbelievable yeah and that that. -- you know I love Gordon but that's kind of flawed thinking is probably halfway didn't keep it."

" No he does nothing Andy's been dealt by Jim Hendry and the injuries and everything else but. Fact of the matter rich are not beating. Good teams and -- straight talk about well there's there's plenty of bad teams on the schedule will still be in the playoffs well that's not exactly beyond encouragement I --"

" tell you what I I could go down -- to make a pretty good case of the flu could have had a really good here. You know he was don't look terrible and they. They let their closer though they had no closer. In the bullpen they had a very weak bullpen that they had injuries all over the place very weak pitching staff have been filled. You know they went on got Matt Holliday in the road. You know was -- live. Not that good team hey you can do this almost anywhere you know feeling too bad they're probably the Phillies and -- just get swept for God's -- get home. Who by the Marlins IE an attack I don't know IA I just don't buy that one that just because you turned your team around that was supposed to be good any help. I mean yeah. Forward manager of the year let's say make -- they flew -- manager of the year you would have found a way to get in the Milton Bradley's head and getting turned around before and bird flu season is over."

" That's the thing you in their discipline. Culpability everywhere from JI did Jim Hendry to -- a little letting Alfonso Soriano -- top of the order until he didn't three months into the season. To Milton Bradley finally get him in the two spot and everything else. I mean just -- the ownership issue yeah accommodated that accommodating people coming Carlos Zambrano Alou and Carlos beat Carlos. I mean they let that kind inmates run the asylum -- again if fifth -- relative your article on the DL he doesn't want to deal."

" Calling of this sale of the Cubs for whatever it's been now two and a half years or two years whatever it's been. That that has prevented them from spending the money as freely as they previously had and not making moves to counter some of these moves and and you know when you sit and wants to games -- did you see the Iowa Cubs you see so many guys that weren't projected to be. Contributing and on this team and they are all."

" You know let me -- I don't buy that either -- void we have so -- could have gone out and I can -- that's how they operate they just money right yeah. He's -- monetary you know would Pedro Martinez was played the other day if you know. Jeter has failed playing had a couple really interest could mean I was and -- and because bill that team they couldn't find me. Well okay Pedro Martinez we've been real nice start the other days credit kept a margin but he's not he -- what ails this thing. You know answer what ails this team is the kind of way to get Carlos Zambrano to go out there. And and do some exercise -- I think -- team and victories on this classroom okay no doubt you scored six. And you can say okay well first when he had to leave nothing in the third inning okay and they didn't win that game. Okay but from what he did let -- bullpen the next step at a loss because he can't go if there's no way they're going to win that game against both Colorado Rapids. So if you'll find a way to get him out there I mean there's a lot of thinking going to okay let's just do this we will need a new player we need. You'll go to Bradley they had a little bit. Are we need -- bubonic total they had a little bit or we need Soriano they had a little value blown. All the way down the lineup and all the way through the pitching staff we need Eric Gregg just did not -- game and her own Florida. You know that it's real easy to do when it came back gone well."

" And anyway it's -- let's see you're out there in Colorado when he he's in the batting cage stake in his swing before -- start on Friday right. -- the -- guess I wasn't there at Coors Field he's proud China to see how far he can hit the ball b.'s that's a Carlos doesn't really feel --"

" I know the reports are that he's had the bank issued for two years I finally -- my point is just let you know you shouldn't do and it anyway that doesn't -- another hitter. They know what competitor core -- here. Won't want to how -- taken batting why hasn't lost wade why hasn't he need to address the things you have to do we have a back injury."

" Oh well who I had bad were you asking me. I look like Carlos -- and oh yeah and no I'm saying that this is type of golf maybe will learn something maybe we."

" Then who do we ask is that on the -- is that I mean Luke. Who is ultimately responsible when you see geo Soto got to get out of shape who's responsible for that when you see guys."

" Well you could tell a guy all you want to because what you gotta do it again I didn't do it or if I went to go home this football season and work on whatever. Every guy comes back anything you know you can with the Bears. I'm Brian can't basketball you're brand in baseball you know it did -- 'cause you don't get this cup and that means going to do it but both -- eighteen million dollars a year."

" That's what I was gonna say when you give him the month that much money you give him that control over use a team when -- in the no trade in all the money ever wanted. What oil well threat when you -- what do you health."

" What you're supposed to have a mature player who everything given the money because it was because people who. If he could handle the money that was a grown up. And really like to compete I thought about this a lot of kind of what would have that they gave me eighteen million dollars we -- I just roll over and play I don't want to write a long historian thing come make a little shorter and the reason they would. Give it to you kids because. I know you guys make good tolerate this past. Fiftieth because they believe. That you have this desire. It and the ability to do your best even though you get paid well hey you know I mean well I normally do --"

" Davis they -- that Kennedy you know you'd earn it that's would you do. You do you do what you did the floral you do more you feel a sense responsibility about it these guys are that's one was Carlo -- about retiring. -- I mean that if that doesn't bother you made his heart isn't in this thing he's got made."

" That's okay if you want to treat I don't blame him I got my my retired new Dolphins talk about that the signing bonus of -- yeah this is. Yeah I I wouldn't -- even pay that much money M my retired two and then go lift an island somewhere I don't blame him for example when you're here. Between the five years that I kind of course I believe I can hope and Engle retired and college you know fifth airlift. -- he does work some. You know we don't know how much they workaholic kind. But if you have a back issue. You've got to get it taken care you just have to I mean -- Jim Thome family and yeah towers before the start of the game and gone through this long ordeal and you walk fast and smells like an old broken down race cars and he's got rid of -- all right you know. He wants to play and he birdied seven or whatever -- is he wants to play -- and he's got that bad back and he knows that. So I you know I don't I don't know he can't make guys -- Stefan that I. And you'll hear them Rondo who pulled his hamstring early years for. Beaten out of Bosnia you know six don't have that good but he's a gamer you know it it -- strange guy you know and when he gets on the even -- gave ever met. And really get on the mound and then things -- Smith are completely different he's the real competitor when he doctor."

" Dave thanks so much of the time we always enjoyed talking on the DL and an honest. This are the Mully and Hanley shows being brought by four seasons heating and air conditioning -- spectators and business we come back about this question which team is a better chance of making the playoffs right now is that the White Sox or is that the Cubs neither team going very well right now. Which team is a better chance you might be surprised by the answer Mully and Hanley and the score."
