" You know 67. Close down. And out here."

" Next time."

" That's different from."

" Yourself San Diego."

" Miss holly and and losing. Our following that story pretty. Holy days. Clement and Escobar guys. Allow a home run invesco supposedly had yet he gives up the three run homer. After giving up the run."

" Earlier in the inning and and that's the name of that -- playing subprime points out that doing -- meanwhile. The White Sox win at home eight to seven did the had designated hitter with the go ahead single Scotty podsednik to Korea. He's now the DH stint here. And -- anyway before the game calling out his team for -- under achievers and we gotta we gotta city full of under achievers of just because the Sox are than the Cubs must be as well. Also -- Devin Hester clearing up all the confusion about what Cutler said or didn't say. Saying that did he got a text into everything was taken out of context and he's his feelings were hurt but no he's okay. And you know I can. I've written about this a couple times in various and sundry cellar dwellers -- to take exception was when I'm writing you know. I would suggest -- to -- how TV show up -- something Gerdes had to wait for a phone call on it and -- I've done I've gone there I saw what happened and I reported on it as I saw it happen but you also that it does this seem."

" Before you took it down out of my contacts and put in context on the whole idea of fitting the offense -- fitting jay color into the bad Bears offense rather. Then trying to make -- revamp the offense around I don't know -- quarterback."

" I'm pouncing on the story -- your opponent because it's a story -- you respond to wait dummies. Let's get that little you know and so my balance yeah I don't they are just a touch just sit in the basement to never leave the house there'll be a better way of covering a team -- get out to the whole lot claims to be at odds are hot I won't commit. Todd Hollandsworth. Todd how are you buddy."

" Who he's going to be better. But you know let it -- came up again cameo woke -- looked out the window where you. Okay I don't -- and still not -- him."

" In the sun and about three days either. -- the fact that the word to try to figure out where you go from here with Kevin Gregg and August 18 doesn't bode well for your playoff bound Cubs right."

" No way is certainly did not. One of many -- Under under performances under achieving -- we want to. I had and blew the most people aren't surprised on some level I mean he's good he's he's not great coach position and I think most people pretty well aware of that kind of taking all the way back to spring training when there was competition between Carlos Marmol. Greg over over the whole new role and nobody. He I think people kind of expected Carlos -- This is going to be eighty years stepped up and do it to claimants and he was unable to do it and there was. A lot going on down early in the year and unfortunately. Yeah. The lack of hey at least for me the lack of pieces around these two guys who really put a lot more pressure on them. And I say that because there's you know they don't have that comfort blanket they've really been exposed they have not been able to fail. And that's -- failures because they've just been relied on so heavily. Because of you know that the people that really want to around them how you look at and really -- even look what's going on on the south side and you get guys down there went. When one guy fill that hole usually have a guy you can maybe go to and really and people are going to be second guessed it yet to be doing some options over there. -- know you really don't add that era may you live and what's going people -- certainly make stuff up and got. You know you do today -- team that right now."

" Well John Smoltz we've heard John Smoltz is named go -- sign him I mean. There is very is the answer to this thing on the roster but whose -- now the --"

" Yeah you're you're absolutely right guy you know my my my my first. Hot is going to be Angel Guzman -- the first opportunity and I did not because Carlos Marmol hasn't served his time -- the eight inning guy that. Yeah he's brilliant reliable right now I mean not in a position where he's pitching well he's putting himself in -- position they you know what we can we had nothing to lose good. I haven't thrown the ball great I'm not walking guys have not. Even keep everything he he's been the match I mean lightly in any in a lot of ways and so let you know I really feel like -- a lot of confidence. You know you give him a crack at yet it came that if there. They're facing right now but goodness gracious. -- new years you're gonna have to get it windup and then figured out I have figured out my one world that he might. But I won't we have -- Let it bring it up especially in Chicago but hey you know three when we won the World Series we had a rotation going on down there. And that guy just realized it was for the good team and for the good of the cause because. Nobody was coming -- in the position so we started using and how Braden Looper we started using Ugueth Urbina. And it just became a rotation and and then maybe that's what you have to do now. --"

" Well let's but the thing town it was obvious the obvious heir apparent was Marmol. But he has hit eleven batters and he is. He has been as wild as he's been accurate so if you do it is okay if you take that that move and say he's still our heir apparent you make that move how long run be given. If it's not. If he -- grab the job right away and run with it to give -- your six games out now if I know it's only four in the loss come but how long you don't have the luxury of sitting here with a couple weeks and M figure in and out."

" You're absolutely correct in head Soviets that question is not very long because your position where I believe -- every guy on this team that. -- even good bad indifferent."

" Well I wonder how long list of that is that well you don't have."

" Maybe it went through bigamy. You -- Derrek Lee had a great slow start and he's gotten really poor game the other a lot of guys you know right apparently I didn't start naming guys starting rotation had a really good years. You don't want this big turnout write the story only gets better when you get the playoff format and so many people know that. You know anybody don't personal story from particularly here goes by the wayside. When they're the team doesn't make the play. -- you can go national and end."

" I grew -- Somalia earlier. That if lower back off he said I'm pretty sure going to make this move around thinking about it. If he doesn't make the move now their guys in the locker room who are going to be ticked off because they're tired seen that the twelve home runs -- Kevin Gregg serving up. And blown three of the last five Saints."

" I agree again and then they accountability and that's how it works and in the UK and that's how big -- teamwork your accountability on pollen count. There's again starting rotation going to look tell anybody how to get when hitters are struggling in the nobody. You know when did you start doing it really going to go for the start in addition had to fight these guys thinking when you when you try to break down our baseball team working out -- and -- out. You realize that everybody knows their roles but. Somebody not doing didn't affecting the course is affecting the team then it becomes the issue an -- you know words -- repeated. Kids and then slowly you know almost put. The people you can leaders on offense in -- position -- no wait a minute we're doing everything we can't yell that's -- comes -- you know we scratched because one it. Find a way to make -- can stand up. Wow you know we get our -- we get our act together but that's probably healthy you're working. Angry and so the rope is really short I think that's okay you know a lot of weight because of what's happening here already if Carlos Marmol your guys. But you're gonna have to find somebody down there like it could have been if it becomes a rotation and he might -- Have to be defined I think that you throw everything up right now and you just try to win one game at a time because this team meeting and it's not they've got the right time I really do believe -- looking got a losing streak in somewhere. In the remainder of the season it's not going to be you know they've had a couple walk outs for the win -- and everything you won't recommend right now. That would just be really surprised that they ride that out for the season I think there's going to be a pick up in there somewhere. There's going to be watch five out of seven success Kevin but the Cubs have got to be an addition capitalized on it and I'm not. -- didn't in this community can be over."

" He's Todd Hollandsworth see you here amount puts us every week it is time he's also contest courts -- Cubs. Analyst and and -- you know. He alluded to calculate the season every move that's been made has been. A plodding type move is not the -- jerk reaction and I understand. The need. Two to make sure we made this decision for a reason we had a thought process -- went into it so we've got to make sure that we're going to when we make a move that is to correct -- but man. They await an awful long time before they finally get to it."

" No I think didn't and then there's a lot of reasons for that I had a pretty good I -- proven veteran team he's a lot of guys on this roster that. Around -- exceed the level and a lot of guys look into making a lot of money. And that being you know your flexibility because your flexibility can be done -- how many. She's got new ownership coming in the economy won't take the payroll to an unprecedented level. I mean they haven't gone out and I mean when -- you know revenues DB you -- going to be around here for awhile and he's Jimi do you do. This is not the need to do not the Yankees the Yankees have the ability to go out behind guys and because it -- didn't get. Swallow that so that bitter pills -- the financial responsibility for the Cubs cannot be dead and so what does that tell you mean there's a lot of these position you're gonna do what they are we seeing so it's going to take some of these guys to step up and start playing through the back to the baseball cards. For this team to win and when the seed in the true all along. You know pre and post any. I think offensively you've got to get a lot of these guys around Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. Swinging the bats more consistently and better I didn't even bright spots here and there. Certain individuals and had very few years and I turns one of those guys but we got other guys that -- He's been really tune into the didn't do not count on a regular count on regularly. So you know community a lot of questions a lot of play. You can look at last winter you know what you know here we are again. It had to yank him out and yeah I understand that there. I mean there's definitely. Reason to believe all of those things and -- can make that move but. Team -- you don't want graveyard in scoring position nearly ten guys on base can you muster one run against the Eagles are dreaming how many games are you really gonna win."

" Well Todd when Todd Todd Hollandsworth our weekly visit with Comcast sports analyst for the Cubs. We're up against it but. Molly asked earlier what Thomas Kenny Williams caught on this team into a matter of factly saying there under achievers is not good enough for going to be a playoff game while at mid August but. I'm as good time as any additional it. Maybe isn't as just a placebo for a fan but I like hearing that stuff they came back from a five -- road trip it was a one in six the it was when made some of those guys was satisfied with 33 and he came home they came home and he was willing to slap on the face and not good enough. And yet our guide Jim Hendry on the north side is told solely in the Tribune the other day well you know rough had to injuries way to get everyone back. -- times on our side all the crap. I number I don't hear the accountability from the north side I don't hear Jim Hendry stepping up Serena what we do have a 140 million dollars invested in this team and let's get you know time for guys to step it up."

" sure. It is it is absolutely that. I agree they did have these guys."

" He's always they're destined to fall back on the crutches of the injuries in the excuses and the difference between Kenny and."

" You're absolutely right but I mean he didn't pay him and heard the case all the way you're -- really -- number -- it is true but it -- have a keeping. You know life. I think every team in every organization goes through it tonight and I do agree with you -- that point you know they can make. Continually fall back on that it is probably had the right way to look at it because."

" Does that resonate with a player when the GMs like Kenny says someone there yesterday when you're in the clubhouse."

" Well you gotta remember here now that. You guys these different mode of operation then. You know you -- it absolutely doesn't win that we think can definitely happen and you get those messages whether it's through the media or you know through the outlets. You know the organization has only got into the clubhouse. And you get there you know this is not good not okay absolutely I mean how they do out of the -- practice -- last -- didn't. And you look didn't you know some of the pain glaring thing you can you show on the south side you know some crucial because I didn't. You know two different things that happened over there but yeah. You know they respond -- guys in -- individually and big hit. Certain individuals who you know occasionally got big hits over here on on the north side is not enough for the guys and they needed the same guy you know you can talk about middle lineup."

" I think you know I couldn't get him you will get a big hit and."

" I'm looking for some of these other guys to step up security I mean you're actually right nothing has come down there has not. How tall arms there isn't that the better. Some general managers firmly believe that life in the end of the managers more than themselves."

" Alright tad thanks so much we appreciate the time is always -- we'll watch and thank yeah. -- And as game deciding to -- there's still our problems and and let's get into -- Sports Radio success this."
