" We bring enough that we there's -- window every so often I've been awhile since there. Understatement rob dribble and he joins us from over to Wrigley Field rob how are you today I'm hanging in there. Fans. We have we never quit your day was visited the top they are because apparently you add you to deliver on David Schuster LaMont Hernandez -- throwing in his backyard to yes the yes it's true and maybe even down to like be local Chucky cheese. He's and the ball hit just with everything in every direction and I think he's been pitching to the dancing Elvis going to Turkey and he's -- by the way we're going to sign a fifth and surprise -- what is a what is life like when you're the TV guy for the nationals are you sort of eight. Let's keep things positive guy or are you a well everybody can see what I am seeing I can't lie to them guys."

" I do not lie ideal line that's why sun sign alone long term deal with them that -- You know what went numb when I'm solid history and being honest but you know I've gone to the ownership and and Stan Kasten and they hired me. They knew what they're getting when they hired me that I wasn't going to lie I'm not going to sugarcoat it and you know drink to Steven -- Bert Kool -- they have some issues they have a great offense. Lousy defense lousy pitching and you know as they have a lot of opportunities here and I stress that to the younger guys I mean we just sent back Colin bouncer. He's got great stuff but she got a pitch up here you gotta get people -- you got to win games is pretty simple so. One comes to evaluating these guys are doing the game yeah I I have to tone it down sometimes and I'll watch my language because. Give your friends since I said yes to set off color joke which is something that I I often do and then having been doing this for dozen years now since I finished playing you know site I forget that I'm in Washington DC. And you have to be politically correct that sits there is a baseball 101 class and they were going to have women and and I said was going to become harder to teach the women. In you know miniskirts and high heels how to pitch. And you know got a good laugh about a Bob Carpenter might might play by play partner C and I get attacked pretty much play you know post feminist. In the team's shop this week. What does -- mean by that what we talking about when you say it does going to be tough to teach women how to pitch in that has said. Less than I was just kind of these colorful on the color guy you know night he you know -- when he you know there were forty games under 500 kinda stuff. None of it so. I don't know I do take some heat from time to time just being myself so let up but I'm not going to sugarcoat the baseball baseball's pretty cut and dry you either win or you don't win. As somebody will come take your place. Fantasized brought to you by Burger King Abbott your way and rob -- is -- than a dozen years already yet it has -- There has I retired after 96. On my last spring training was actually in a Cubs uniform. Go. You know Jim wriggle man this is old you are. Cameramen was the manager that released to meet in spring training. I guess. But the Marlins and you know a lot of the guys that you know I played with or against the last two years are all coaches now. Marquis Grissom is our first base coach -- list that was a teammate with the Brewers in 95. Our third base coach so yeah I mean however were -- look at that clubhouse is reminder of how old I really --"

" You're talking with rob double on WSCR the scoreboards and Bernstein I don't know if you get to hear much of love -- those typical Lou Piniella post game press conference or just. And maybe just look at him can you believe that this loop and Allen this guy. Is the same guy that was chasing you across the locker room."

" Yeah I can't really because he's really he's when he about 6364. Now yeah I guarantee. If if there was a -- double in the Cubs locker room that ticked him off. He'd go after I don't I don't think you're right no I think I think I am right because you need to read the book it's called the but life and death. I'm a Yankee captain. The Thurman Munson story and it talks about how competitive he was -- a player. He -- the same person he was then. And he and I have been you know family and friends. For the last forty some odd years he loves this game more than people realize. And if you think you're not respecting it enough. Or not giving it your all she will let you know about it and that's the one -- I respect about him he loves the game he has a passion for the game and even know he's get nine years. I think it's unfortunate that. Big game has changed -- he and I wear. The players don't see it like that anymore there's a comfort level that shouldn't be there. You know -- with major league baseball players today and I think a lot of it has to do it not only the salaries. But the fact that losing is acceptable. To some of these guys so Lou hasn't changed I think some of the younger meant."

" I'll I'll ask him blame the game -- is over the why is that who doesn't bother Mike Scioscia. You know Bobby Cox -- Mike -- get -- Jose Guillen right he -- it can thank you also have the power to do it -- but Emily -- hasn't lost that -- I would love -- people who want to get rid of Milton Bradley."

" Well I was there when Kirk Gibson basically said he had had enough for the younger players. And I was in Milwaukee and he walked out to media outfielders -- listen I've had enough these guys they don't respect Cecil Fielder enough. And that was pretty much you know became -- you have to respect fielders in this game. And I think a lot of younger players today don't there's also a majority of younger players that do. And there's so many good guys that are out there but there's still a handful of players that go through the motions and I took a lot of heat and in DC for saying that. I said listen and and you know what Mike Rizzo and the reason why you get the GM job as he's been reading those guys out. There's been yielded Daniel Cabrera is the Julian Tavarez is. Guys like that -- you know and -- not Obama -- the paychecks I'm talking about that. You know when they would lose games I would see guys smile and on the play that on the planes and things like that. When I was a younger player I would got slapped in the face by a veteran. If I had a smile on my face after a loss so that's -- total allowed by not respect in the game who -- you thought it gets -- when I got paraded by Ron poster. And I mean I've played with -- Buddy Bell and Dave Parker and guys like that that they you know finger -- senior. They would have none of that and -- was part of that era that I respect. Because the Thurman Munson and the loop -- and guys like that they were taught the right way and I think it's it's up to the older players and how to pass -- on with the younger players."

" Always fun rob we do we I'd love to talk different hour but you gotta give do we gotta give an ally but hopefully we can read that you -- Kansas covers I love this conversation will have to pick this up with some point -- I love that little to see this guy loves driving -- really do know he's there I just talked to Ryan Dempster today and they lose still there. It's it's just a little bit harder for him -- to do would be -- forty years ago I -- thanks thanks Charlie guys my pleasure from double."
