Yep that I -- that's why she fell down on dancing with the stars she was hot. Oh god there's no no it's just -- this is the show. When reporters come to end your career that I think we're getting caught in conversations about. Marie -- sexual proclivities and other things. Oh I I'm gonna go I'm going to be a bartender at the dead goatee and Salt Lake City. -- is it is writes that the rule over the Minnesota's going to herald itself as the the Boston. And his trio Laurence Maroney university of KG Manny Fernandez and David -- he gave overseas of course you know -- Santana.

If a -- but hey you got that you get Al Jefferson watch he's pretty good."
" He is pretty good you know I have been people believe me like elements but the tools a lot of -- of -- record -- that. What that it would be very easy to be that bad but that's at Jefferson is Israel a couple of lot."
" People all of his country or Payton on the patriots are much is it that way with the vikings fans all the vikings are are you don't that is that is you might have thought. But I would what are people is NF from an out NFL perspective think he's thinking about the undefeated the past right now."

" nor though is that. Your old bulls NL Bob Dole's got a job easily. Of these twinkies and see what happens with this these duels and now what's the latest the year here on this -- think we talk about all the time. And me it's a mishmash of different combination platters don't know they they bring in basketball wouldn't talk hot stove league baseball you'll figure."
" it feel it's steady transition believe it believe me the what is they're still talking yeah it just passed today yeah they're they're they're untouched there -- evaluating you know like. Trying to think that the more than anything there are waiting for the David hank Steinbrenner wakes up -- says. While a lot of we have enough pitching and and that's the -- start up again but until then they are. Eat all the talk every day and I think they want you are far -- down the road where. They are convinced that it will happen at some point."
" Build your to your best your knowledge -- TVs are involved in this right now or what other teams."
" The best of my ballot one in that part of the problem that I -- it there's there's nobody wore a little launching bidding."
" He's going to want to point five million a year for six years at that's gotta be part of it part of rated that there are only so many teams are going to report that."
" In -- pretty much the only reason there's. There's only a couple of change right now that have convinced themselves -- they pay at eight I honestly think that there are plenty more -- that -- within that it you know -- a waiting for someone to swallow hard and make them move but but. But until late in the that -- reputation as far as you know all the Red Sox are. -- actively talking checking in right."
" Do you think the angels are out of his picture."

And had a good they're cheap and remind themselves almost like -- prospect who won the trade falls through. You kind of feel good about well maybe we really should keep these guys mean reduction bought by the Beatles you can make it appears from all out that was with a Cabrera trade that. Maybe now they look at that they kind of like that are guys and in and they like they want to keep."
" You know affiliate your your article today is it was a today Twin Cities dot com meet you were talking about the the fact that the twins had a very difficult time against their central division rivals the Indians and the tigers on the tigers round -- got better and it needs just playing good anyway tigers made all kinds of moves and Minnesota is go the other way. All the good player -- hundred leaves and and now sit tennis probably going to leave. Is this up -- woeful time for the twins fan looking at at the the competition now is central being that much more difficult."
" By the central makes it tougher because it's it has become a really monster division if not the past couple of years and it. There trying to sell themselves -- still building and and still and only -- possible contender next here it's not a question Francisco Liriano come back from from elbow surgery -- year if she is. You know 75% of the pitcher he was before which should be middle is probably optimistic the rotation -- pretty good -- hunter but they've replaced what Delmon Young they're convinced that -- young develops and hunter is on the downside of his career but actually. Big -- actually might be better next year in import Ottawa they don't have a couple of holes to fill it bought debate they have. Younger more though in our right in middle of the lineup as children. Bucket stay healthy -- Enola debate that the good starting point do you. It'd -- they consider themselves -- plausible contender here treating your -- can you know obviously that changes the dynamic but I cannot point out that think channel and or ignored five -- Cleveland didn't something like one and Regan Detroit they'll."
" In his last season he was so so great the prior 34 years. Also last year he looked at how we struck out by two to 35 batters fifteen to thirteen and a three point. Three whatever not that impressive by stand tennis standard until bombing it's that you have against."
" days lightning when he saw him he didn't. It in you know -- the other benefit don't eat you he's so confident in using the competence and and they're really catch everybody is it good. There are a lot of time last year where -- look at. The pitching match -- like -- and it -- that you can certainly -- well -- and and it course. And -- it was really a surprise when he did not what. You have to keep in mind that we're talking about his standards at the beginning September you know eat eat. He stole and secondly strike out and and missed by. Two completely in up until that last restart it was in the top five in the league you are right. And if he yet the twins score a runner to -- Fausto Carmona and these sabathia he could easily have eighteen and nineteen landless that would personal talking cy young in early September it it to that amount of the court."
" That's so you think part of him is just that it when he sees it. When he made the move at the deadline that it would have what's his name do you and there were some people upset about that. And as a cut down the stretch do you think it is that the old and a -- just kind of went out at the toward the end of the season was at the reason that -- this stuff. Well well out there where -- do people have a -- billion. There are people here I guess the more you look at a player. It burst -- excited and you start looking bird for chinks in the armor simply posting eulogies -- finished poorly last year. Physically how is he going to be he's if he's he's pitched you know so many innings in his career etcetera. What do you project with this -- do you think he's going to have a bounce back time we think he's good long all if he gets a six year contract. Is he going to be good pitcher those -- at least 35."
" Well I I don't can't think of a pitcher in baseball I'd be willing to bet is going to be a good pitchers six years from now -- mean it's it's in -- it would take that that. Japanese would make that hated it speaks better of the other equipment adding that."
" And -- inside NBA beat writing humor here I'm sure the blisters all over New England excited about this how."
" got a couple -- and but it I would -- the intent. Does have a about spec you know one problem what to probably -- the cold didn't score ones form the he he. Pitching and start -- or twice I think that Clint scored one that you run total purse. It is here it is eagle at the league home -- and that is the oracle up better of frightening thing that article one thing that that they should think that. Maybe there's more there but. But he -- pole finished yet at the end of the season the whole team wants. Was pretty down by that point I'm a little surprised at how it is in the how -- he. Had -- problem at the end of this season because. Despite the records you really had not been Schilling and he went on a couple of streaks during the treatment and a seventeen strikeout game where. There's just untouchable the great pitchers still -- and he's he's. I would consider the best pitcher in the American league even though we have a down year."
" You don't -- led the league in home runs allowed I believe the prior year and look at what he did the following year on his second year politically -- it was was learn how to war decide to change speeds -- and -- And Santana already is that guys aren't the fantastic changeup already right."
" Well it's funny you talked to you know second it was going to deny the there is. Talk around achieved that he. Picture but it threw a slider a lot last because of the he saw what happened to -- and but Soriano was when he heard he was pitching nothing but -- fighters Santana went to the changeup. Probably greater percentage the -- but he had in the past eat he kind of denied that he. Eight we think he he is pitching next the same but -- people -- eloquently said. Passport changeup fastball changeup and did not use the flattery to -- well -- did not use the slider as much as he has in the past and that might have something to do with a homer on I don't know that's just. Looking for Williams to explain it but the overall war kind of -- of like --"
" Phil Miller of the Saint Paul pioneer press let me ask you before -- get back to whatever it is you do out there in Minnesota aside from him and the departure -- athletes -- do you think he's going to end up if you got your -- if you had to make a choice where do you think guessing it is going to be."

I think that possibility it would Beckett and cannot 12 you know that so. How opinion how to pass that -- I mean a Tony who. When -- see him up close -- you seem every every fifth day. It really is a remarkable how one oh in control of the game -- he normally does the the home run there they always completely shocked because he always seemed like he's -- totally under control. I think the Red Sox probably. I pick between accord to -- only have to trade him and I think the well at such a logical suitor. Particularly if if they really are willing do what trade Albert."
" I I think we think it is going to be commute you're getting your rainy monster you've got to hit it he's got an FIR and next thing I -- a -- cafe that Austin."
