    all that. But the team is going to be worse John when Kevin Youkilis placed third base will -- Brooks goes back to -- which is what's going on there are -- or baseball team is not as duke right now at this point his career. Is not as good as well Mel Brooks not a group. He's probably over producing right now. These slides back will be -- coastal isn't that good. And again this
    you know you go ten. Is some team got a jump say Kevin Youkilis all of a sudden you know ten games this is playing pretty well as producing a little bit. Does a teammate and what I would think a team would want to seal but it more of a sample site and less and less the Red Sox . Our I think the only way the -- I think -- would wanna see him produce a little bit at the Major League level or at least see a couple of weeks -- yeah I want to -- if Kevin Youkilis is please call for a team's sudden something to be a really huge incentive to -- from you know the risks in the ups in -- downside to making -- vehicles right now it's probably gonna get hurt he's getting older. What if he stays healthy for the rest of the year. In -- pretty good OBP 33 -- camp believes still. That he was an all star last year I know is one of those fill in guys down below last year and in the second half was was abysmal but.

He's been a hell of a producer without him we would not be number one for five years thank you may want to help host to Mario loser -- ugly nobody -- I should go up -- special place roast something good yet will gross example out on a -- he has been he's been real good and you know he's one of the -- produce original Boston radio -- question about that. Well good luck with Joey we got a lot of work to do would Joey a Joey still sexist thumb when things go wrong. That's probably why things go wrong policy pushing buttons you suck and -- Sometimes you -- both of his -- really look stupid while on FaceBook. At. Yes -- have a Canada we're -- we're happy for our Canadian friends outlook -- when I saw that last night. You'd think Douglas thank you watch I did it while also holding a -- that I know of and a lot of heart you know I don't maybe you'll -- I -- like I -- have something more important to do -- yesterday 3 o'clock so I watched the entire game -- a game. -- a few guys out there I think that I was gonna watch every single game just because it's on and I went out ahead important -- you're gonna watch that Sweden Slovakia and a cabinet meetings and stuff like that to do and reports the ticket. But I'm happy for the Canadian people we look bottom line is this is fair game. -- still would've been nice to see the US went -- that's you can say that nobody will argue with that but guess what. It's fair game while they had a more talented team may have aids -- it started there. It shouldn't there that's where they care the most about hockey -- and if you think the United States deserves to win a gold medal. After showing. The world are through the NHL that we don't care as much as they do about hockey that you got another think coming I think they deserve to have the gold medal. And until we care about hockey is much as they do up there then screw us basically we don't deserve the medal right. So the US should in the so they let's call it in the USE is that -- the -- players the hockey players didn't -- no -- that's -- same -- collectively -- in a country we're not gonna put as many good players. Out there on the race as a country. Until we care as a country. Enough about hockey like they -- they'll ever happened and we'll go and they should keep -- anybody -- help. No this is vastly different from the Russians against United States in the Cold War era but is different thing ballots. This is Canada delivered over there like -- we have -- all the players -- and he's also -- ordinarily I mean that was temperatures against professionals that US Russia that's another reason I don't dig this as much -- really -- I want -- and professional life is what's -- that's -- this players because if they can make a game this great that it cares about -- games and why can't we make games like -- the National Hockey -- because it's not the same thing as an NHL playoffs of the same. And except that's -- second world of the World Baseball Classic orbit member bill Olympic baseball stuff and all right if it is it ever going to be go to the World Series now. But when it comes to hockey. It's not the greatest thing in the world the Stanley Cup finals it's not about skate around with a compliment it's -- every four years there is much intensity in say just take any sport these Major League Baseball or a regular season game between the twins and Red Sox -- World Series game or playoff game. I understand the difference completely and so does everybody. I mean everybody's a little more on the line in eight. Gold medal game than say a regularly -- it seeks to Calgary and it speaks to what McCain is here in America it's number four. Okay up there it's number one. Down here it's number four and if anybody thinks it's not number four here in America. Then you don't read your history books look at the National Hockey League is a league what they don't what they bring for ratings on television. It's just a happening in and to me it's a great sport. I'd love hockey but let's not have -- beaten Phoenix against LA let's have a -- Winnipeg and Vancouver for god sake. I'd much rather seat. What are the at Phoenix LA's pretty good for anybody -- is that just -- crap -- the legitimacy around the original well let their football team for God's sake you know what I mean. -- I it to me it's a it's a Canadian thing -- leads its way down at the original six in Chicago Boston. It leaves itself down at some northern parts. Of the United States it is -- Chicago all of that right I agree there's too many teams who talked about this before but the problem argues doesn't translate that well on television. As the other sports well why not keep it -- but we just watched that whole Olympics on television and riveted by -- populous state doesn't translate.

It translates with the right players right now in the right setting -- rate incentives for people. -- the problem with -- it is the NHL is has been mishandled. Miss -- under water that is totally screwed up that opportunity that they had. When Mario Lemieux. And Wayne Gretzky most guys are plant that's when Richards had a spring boarded the next generation but it didn't instead they screwed up. With Gary Bettman and all of his big ingredient the late eighties early ninety's and gosh don't really strong they got stupid. -- Well it -- there is part of it ports played into it but everybody's greedy -- NFL's green and two if you're stupid and greedy that you -- and that's what do you what the image a bit. But if we I mean it is exciting is that game was great was what -- I can think of why can we watch games like this. Every single week like it to be twenty teams loaded with stars all of them. You know 120 fort the most. We gotta watch all this crap as Atlanta African thrashers you know I can just bite me. That was almost like an event similar to the Super Bowl -- ways yesterday you know or or black or it's doubling -- is final or likely is that I think we -- sixteen or whatever Canada should should and does deserve it in there there there there than their home of hockey and you know until -- change things down here. The -- noise music it was good those for the watch. I enjoyed myself that was great tournament there was lot of good games -- turn. A I enjoyed watching and you know what was good to was that through -- greatest player -- the world of lately is against Cordero to isn't really cool. I have some things I would like to talk about tonight we'll talk when everything -- we're gonna five action packed hours in honor. And you know just going forward we wish -- the very best -- and make any announcements as to where he'll be next but it will be within the company -- tape -- Hopes that it passed out at an epic epic also. -- And we you can call us at 6177790. -- fifty Joey officially be taken over. Joey. You -- know. But you probably will I know you go big nose clean and it would have we don't like you know we like. Well. You get -- stop members you can't be raped me and never ever question my authority.

Even though I'm I'm a gringo as they say I speak Spanish okay and I really like speaking Spanish. I find -- when I speak Spanish the Spanish speaking people we have a go back and forth an automatic.
