(02:59):
Here I was there yesterday. Bythe way, Sarah said to say,
hello, oh love, I thinkI think she's got a thing for Petros,
which really disturbs me. Bring herback. She likes a bombastic Eastern
European type. Uh, I thinkthat's what it is. And she liked
what you said. You called herbeautiful and well healed, well healed for

(03:20):
sure. Now this you know,this bump from the Bronx had no idea
what well healed meant. And whenI said to her, how did you
know well healed meant? And she'sactually coach saying well healed perfect it is.
It's a term for I believe,from the early twentieth century, nineteenth
century, because you know, ifyou were well healed, it meant you
had heels on your shoes, youprobably had a little bit of money,

(03:43):
and you probably had a little bitof a clown. And she is all
into that Gilded age Edith Wharton ageof Innis world. So is Petros.
I look Jane, I can seeI can see him in the top hats.
Mister monocle is well, mister Darcy, So have you ever been to
El Segundo, California before? I'vebeen there because my kids have all played

(04:08):
travel baseball and basketball and there aren'tvery many cities in the in La County,
in Orange County where they haven't been. And you put all your money
into that travel ball, you know, it's a real scam. You know,
really pays off. It really paid. It pays off. So my
kid's going to go D three toplay baseball. I've had to play full
tuition. I have to pay eightygrand a year for him to go to

(04:30):
Claremont. Didn't Spike Corvino just getpicked to be a hundred round of the
Dodger. He's a junk throwing leftto you. Oh we love that guy.
Is there anything that you want totalk about sports wise? The opponent
or did you just roll up todo you know me out for not being
at work? To do you havethe Brownie update? The Delhi Bronnie Talley.
Well, we don't want to belabor the point. You know,

(04:53):
people are upset that celebrated him earlier. He got twelve points. Oh did
he really against the pros? Imean, he's okay. We've done our
due diligence to cover Bronny. Itseems to be a topic that the people
enjoy, or well enjoy hearing uscomplain about or enjoy speaking upon, and
I'm sure lebron loves it. Oh, you know, he listens to the

(05:15):
show every day. We actually almosthad Lebron on once. We did.
We sent it was years and yearsago, and he he was all the
way down in San Diego doing somekind of event, and we sent our
producer at the time was now ourDodger reporter, the great David Vsse you
know, of course, and Vassawent down there and, uh, call

(05:35):
scheduled and call Dan people. Andhe was walking up and vassays like,
okay, I'm gonna do him thefood. And we were all sitting at
you know, right where you areright now, and we heard Lebron on
air said, oh, it's radio. I don't do radio. How about
that? Really, that's what happened. At one handed Vassa, no cap,

(05:57):
handed the phone back and they drovea sad, sad way back up
the five. Well, he doesn'tdo radio like he doesn't do championships without.
Two of the superstars comment overhand rightfor the opponent. Wow, well
we appreciate that sentiment. Well,guys, I will see you tomorrow.

(06:19):
I might be a little late.I've got you know, coming from from
plates and then my spray tan andI'll be right over. Good. I

former Trojan will be there, andGene Simmons on the telephone. On the
telephone, I mean, what aboutstragglers that just show up, like ho
Fart with his book and Ed Quinnwith his beer. They'll both be there.
I think our friends from the Aroundthe League podcast, the Cess Dog.

(07:51):
You know how much the Cess Dogloves the show, Mark Sessler.
I think I may straggle in.There's gonna be a lot of straggle and
strugglers and straight salami smugglers, SouthBay Salami strugglers, smugglers. Look out.
I just got a text that saysLebron's forehead is taller than Bronia.

(08:18):
He's had some issues with the hairline. And this text says when Matt starts
singing, he really shows his agelike an old I don't care anymore,
Dad, exactly right, All right, man, I got one more story
for me from SEC with his wordsthe word of the day. I'm not

(08:41):
gonna do fine Bomb or anything likethat now, but we do have a
story from SEC media day as wehave to honor the greatest coach in the
history of college football, a manwho now works at ESPN because he's so
am charming. Nick Saban. NickSaban is going to be honored Matt in

(09:07):
Tuscaloosa. He retired in January.He's won six national championships one hundred and
eight and nine at home. TerribleTides coach embarrassing. Johnny Manziel got his
ass and so did Sark. Lastyear. They're naming the field at Brian

(09:28):
Denny after Nick Saban. It's stillgoing to be Bryan Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
Nick Saban Field at Bryant Denny Stadium, Nick Saban Field at They already
have a statue out there of him, as you know. But Nick Saban
Field, they got Gene Stallings,they got the bear, they got Nick

(09:52):
Saban. There is no plans tobuild a pat Shula. But for all
you roll tied types, was itPowd or was it Mike? Which one
of them? I think it wasMike Mathula who uh crap, damn it
helped me out Wazoo. Mike Pricericewith a stripper in his lap in Pensacola

(10:13):
and his lap underneath underneath him missionariestyle. Uh So, that's the situation.
We probably won't do any sec mediaDay or Big ten Media Day stuff
tomorrow from El Segundo. So Ijust wanted to roll out the week completely.

(10:33):
We talked about Lincoln Riley a coupleof times. We talked about the
tea SIPs and the horns down.We've had a few stories from out there,
and this is the last one.Mick saban Field at Bryant Denny Stadium.
Time for the number of the day. Here's my number, top number
of the day. Now the opponentcould have stayed in here for this one.

(10:54):
Top ten. Really mat it's notabout like scatological sex, is not.
Although the Germans were mentioned earlier Healthe Bay. They do great work.
Surf Wrider Foundation does exceptional work.Our beaches are our state's most precious
asset, and yet we crap literallyall over them. People come to California

(11:16):
for Disneyland. Yes, there aretourist traps everywhere, like the Ripley's Believe
It or Not Museum and the HollywoodSign, but the met Spider Man and
Ditchy Spider Man. But the Mediterraneanclimate, combined with the hundreds of miles
of sand and sun kissed beaches,are what's most responsible for our massive tourism

(11:37):
industry that pumps billions into our statecoffers and then is wasted. Well,
that's before they built that cool skyspace. Remember we used to do this
show up there with the slide.Yes, that now takes them weak.
We're gonna put this place on themap, Yes we are. Yet keeping
them clean, Investing in infra structureto help keep the water clean is rarely

(12:01):
a high priority because far too fewresidents of this fine state take advantage of
that glorious coast, of that sunkissed sand, of driving maybe fifteen minutes
to cool off on a crazy asshot summer day like today. Here I
lived by the beach. It seemslike a lot of people there all the
time. There are, Yet forwhatever reason, they don't invest the money

(12:26):
the heel. The Bay Beach reportwas just posted p for California dirtiest Beaches.
No surprise, five of them arein fact all connected the Tijuana Rivermouth,
Imperial Beach, Imperial Beach, andBorderfield State Park of both Imperial Beach

(12:48):
Torgeorge. Because of a broken downand in some in some aspects a no
longer working sewage treatment plan on bothsides of the border, tens of millions
of gallons of untreated raw sewage spillinginto the ocean every year from the Tijuana
River. So yes, Imperial Beachchargers five of them. However, it

(13:09):
is important to remember this Third Streetpromenade is beginning to look more and more
like the city of Detroit, withone blown out empty storefront after another.
The number of homeless crackheads strewn about, the poop the needles, well,
that's Martin Sheen. You have himto think. The Santa Monica Pier has
always been one of the dirtiest,filthiest beaches in all of California. They

(13:35):
attribute it to an incredible amount ofbird crap and crackhead urban runoff, and
it has been that way since I'vebeen here in nineteen ninety one. For
whatever reason, we're always told tostay out of Santa Monica. Mothers and
Marina as well also made the topten dirtiest beaches. Don't swim there.
The cleanest beaches though, eh,it's kind of what you would expect.

(13:58):
South Bay got good marks, Yeah, most of them. Look. Orange
County had one hundred and twenty sevenA or B rated beaches ninety five percent.
La County had sixty eight A orB graded beaches eighty three percent.
The cleanest Our County line up therein Malibu, the border of malibouan and
La and Ventura County. A lotin Orange County, Dana Point, Newport,

(14:22):
Riviera, Emerald Bay, Salt Creek. So plenty of clean beaches.
Just beware of the dirty ones.Particularly when my boy died, pointed to
the sky and said, dog,George, I've had loved ones family members.
Stay out of that poop infested bodyof water. Well, there is,
uh, you know, an advantageof dumping stuff in the beach.

(14:45):
We learned it from one of thegreat movies of all time about the South
Bay and the Esplanade Men at Work, starring Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen.
Did you know their brothers? Idid, but not In the movie they
play a trash men who are BFFs, not brothers, not brothers. They
don't really they don't look too muchalike, so you could buy it.

(15:07):
And they shoot men at work.I mean all Redondo, torrent Speech,
Hermosa, all the important beaches.So I would suggest, if you care
about the Bay and you want toheal it, that you go to your
Blockbuster video and you rent men atwork tonight and a great reggae soundtrack as
well. And speaking of music,the song of the day, this is

(15:30):
the song of the day. Yeah, all right, the song of the
day The Way by Fastball, Yeahthe way Adam told me it had to
do with what's going on in thesports world. But I luckily picked the
song already because it's just a goodsummer vibe. But hey, baseball's back
tomorrow. And that's a thing inbaseball, a fastball. Yeah, we

(15:52):
actually called the speedball. There yougo, throw it right by them,
or that's speedball right by them.That's what I like to sit around and
talk about how that speedball used toget your thrown right by. Whenever I
hear this song, I don't knowwhy. In my mind's eye always have
like a herald and maud vision forwho's in the car leading. I don't

(16:15):
know what if I just do interesting? Yeah, they played a usc thing
when I was a young man,but nobody on the team wanted to go.
And then all of a sudden,you know, mac Ten's there and
everybody shows up. It's like,what's hey, where were you guys for
fastball? Yeah? What is thisblack culture? How did they not perceive

(16:37):
this with a positive I mean listeningright, Never get old, never get
old, never get hungry. Allright, we got Margarete Sports Talk.
Everybody stay with us, No,no, do not miss your chance to

(16:57):

(18:30):
Fact Quick Hits, Dead and Alive, Dodger Talk Essential And here we go
with local knowledge. Matt is knowledge. Common knowledge is local knowledge. He's
very knowledgeable on the things that youcome up with as far as for with

(18:52):
your knowledge is local knowledge here,Matt, you know all about the situation
with the land movement on the backsideof the hill in the Palace Verdes Peninsula,
specifically in Rancho Palace Verde's around theresort Taranea. Uh. The resort

(19:12):
itself, Taranea is not threatened bythe land movement because it is down on
the water. Uh. But therest of that stuff is not. And
there's been a lot of rain.But the Taranaa tonight is where the Fox
Football Annual Seminar is going on lastnight and tonight with Tom Brady eating kale

(19:34):
chips and drinking avocado tequila and GregOlsen giving him the side I being like,
I just want the Emmy, andno, I didn't molded to sun
of a pet. Where were you? Where were you? Indeed? Uh
So, I'm sure after I catchup with Tom tonight, Matt that we'll
have him stop by on his wayout of town at our el Segunda remo

(19:55):
tomorrow. A Rock and Bros.Is right there on the way to the
airport from Tarranaga. I'll sell it, man. Yeah, staying extra night.
Yeah, you can stay in therubbin tug. Come on to drive
you to the Elsa Gunda remote.I got kale chips straight out the glostrum.
I got all kinds of stuff foryour health. We'll go to yoga,
introduce you to the union guy.Put a bearded dragon on your chest

(20:15):
for a couple hours. I don'tknow, I mean, I don't know.
We have so many guests. Idon't know what we'd do with Tom
Brady. Even if he showed up, I had to say, hey,
you wait there, Tom. Okay, Steve Sachs is coming out of talk.
He could be like our our AndyRichter just kind of sit here and
you make comments when everybody else talks. Yeah, and we pay him with
food right from the Rock and brews, Oh delicious food. I think it's

(20:41):
a great idea. And I've seena lot of these things, you know,
And I don't talk about him becauseyou're not supposed to. But if
I can get Tom Brady to openup to great sports talk tonight, Matt,
I mean, I'm sure I'm gonnahave a great, great sports talk.
Sure, I'm gonna have a greatopportunity. I'm sure he won't be
popular at all at his very firstFox Football seminar. I mean, you're
a pretty popular guy. Hey,look, Ken Neamatalolo told me I loved

(21:06):
you on the Lake game. Youknow, maybe Brady's going to say the
same thing, I love you onthe Lake game. Right, he wouldn't
be the first. A lot ofpeople don't know. I love the AAC,
thank you. And I like toend midnight watching a contest. That
would be the Mountain West exactly rightanyway, Matt. With the land movement

(21:29):
which is always prevalent in that area. Uh, you know, we've had
a lot of rain and that ispromoted a lot of things, as you
said, a bit of a mess. Lots of closures, beach closures,
trail closures, the wayfares, Chapelflank, Lloyd Wright's Son's Glass Church has
been dismantled. They're going to beatup the tower and take it down.

(21:52):
And there was a big proposal.I thought you might find this interesting,
Matt. There was a big proposalin the Rancho Palace Verdesey Council or whatever
that they're trying to They have aplan to pave down what is called the
ski jump on that road on theback side of the hill. There is

(22:14):
a ski jump on PV Drive southso to speak, south of Abalony Cove,
where you can literally if you kindof fall asleep at the switch like
tiger like you're reaching for a pillor something like that, like a wacky
bump in the street right and ifyou're not paying attention, it's not even

(22:36):
that it's crazier. It's like literallylike a ski jump, and it's just
the way the land always moves.They're always paving it over, maybe six
seven times a year. They payit over, pave it over, and
it's always a ski jump, andyou can literally jump your vehicle like Evil
Knievel pretty easily. Even just drivingnormally and not paying attention, you can

(23:02):
end up wheels spinning in the air, a slow motion look on your face
like the two Valet guys in FerrisPeeler's Day Off Dumb and or you know,
you can even give it a littlegas and really have some fun.
In fact, this is on theway down, or on the way up,
or both well, on both ohyeah, but the way up you

(23:25):
can really you know what I'm saying. Going down, it feels like a
roller coaster kind of vibe. Andyou don't want to lose the wheels on
the way down because then you goover and then if you go over the
pipes, you're going off the cliff. Brother, that's where going That's where
you're going down. That's where you'regoing. But in fact, that very

(23:47):
ski jump. Sometime in the earlynineties, my cousin Mark Pappis cracked the
frame of his father, my uncleVictor's jeep Cherokee. A frame cracked,
the whole thing, the very samejeep Cherokee that Victor Papas drives today.
And he's in his mid to lateeighties and still rolling that Cherokee down to

(24:11):
the beach every day, flying throughthe air on PV drive south on the
ski jump is kind of a rightof passage for all the youth and youth
in the area. Very dangerous thoughin fact, full disclosure, Matt,
I might still give it a littlegas going up and over there, you
know what I mean, I seewhere this takes me. Well, I'm
not gonna go that crazy, butyou know, I mean, I've been

(24:32):
around. I know how to navigatethe Steak ski jump a little bit.
But uh, there was a fivemillion dollar plan that they were trying to
put into place and say, look, we're just gonna knock over the whole
hill. We're gonna fill up thewhole area. We are we are going
to We're gonna level out the skijump. We're gonna make it so no

(24:55):
one can try to jump over thesea or into the sea. Do you
ever see the movie It's a mad, mad, mad mad mad mad World.
Remember that movie? I believe Ido. Yes, remember the Big
W They're all looking for the BigW. Yes, I do remember that.
Spoiler alert it turns out to bethose palm trees shaped like a W.
Right that is maybe thirty yards fromthe ski jump, Matt Oh,

(25:18):
is that right? So you couldbasically take the ski jump and fly into
what used to be the Big wIt's a spectacular death. But in the
whole Rancho Palace Verdese City Council meeting, instead they decided that they're not gonna
do what they said they were gonnado with their five million dollar plan.
They're just gonna kick the can downthe road and pay one million dollars a

(25:42):
year to continue to patch it upover and over and over and over again.
So despite deliberations, the ski jumpon PV Drive South will remain fully
operation. I believe that's not asjob security. See if we fix it
and never have to fix it again, do we really come out ahead.

(26:03):
Well, this comes out on theheels of the VTB plan, the Vincent
Thomas Bridge plan that we talked about, that's going to clog up all the
shipping in the world's greatest harbor,and we don't know what's going to happen
there. So I guess as itpertains to the ski jump, the city
of Rancho Palace Verdes, the cityof that I grew up in, are
is just going to keep doing whatthey've been doing, which is just paving

(26:26):
it over a bunch of times.And I want I also want to make
a proclamation on the show, Matt, because if I say it on the
show, I'm I'm maybe more aptto follow it. And I did this
about Greek Easter, right, Isaid this year, oh yeah, I'm
not going to do the Greek Easter. I'm not going to be like you
know where people are like happy Easter. I'm not going to be like,
well, actually I'm a Greek Orthodoxon our Easter is different and the New

(26:48):
Testament's written in Greek, and wewere the original, We're the original church,
and you know, I'm not doingit. And this year at the
Fox Seminar, I'm going to makea really sincere effort, really sincere to
not explain to every person that Isee the history of the area marine Land,

(27:10):
the MTV Beach House. I justhave your drink and make small talk
like, hey, you see TomBrady, I saw him eating kale right
by something like that, as opposedto can you name the two whales that
used to live here in Marine Land? It's Orchi and Corky. They used
to have a pilot whale and anarwhal. You're very proud of your your

(27:33):
area. I am, but youknow, everybody, I was born and
raised here. Let me tell youa little something, you know. But
but and then people set me upfor it, you know, they're like,
oh, you don't know Petros,he's from here. And then I'm
supposed to like you know that,you know, like the dance h the
wb frock you know. You know, Portuguese Bend used to have a bathhouse.
It was beautiful, it's huge,at a pool in it. And

(27:53):
in the thirties it washed away.And everyone's just looking to a jack so
they can get back to the barand get their other free drink, right
or for somebody more. Isn't thepack too? It's not jim Bean.
They got makers, they got Tito'ssomebody more important to talk to. There's
really what they're looking for. Thatis really that's mine. You hold them
prisoner with your local stories. Nowait, I didn't tell you about the

(28:15):
narwalll We're good. You know whereTiger Woods crashed. Let me tell you
about that rope. I'll take youright now. Let's go right over the
hill. Tell you he came fromhere. I think I'm gonna try to
sleep at home tonight, you know, and that way, like I'll control
my drinking and I won't stay uplate telling local stories. We'll give your

(28:37):
at least give your hotel room tolike prison warden dad or something. Let
them tie it on and have anice night out. You know you got
the room. I'm going in thereand taking all the shampoo. Brother,
I'm gonna steal this robe. I'mgoing full Michael Thompson. So anyway,
Uh, that's what's going on.Oh I could use a shower cap.
Would you mind grabbing a new one, Matt. I'm pretty sure that you

(29:00):
don't wash your hair anyway. That'sa fair point. I really want to
make sure. At least you're inone of the cleanest beaches according to Heal
the Bay. Yeah, I don'tthink I am just accidentally pest oars over.
Our roads are clogged with traffic,and our Osians are clogged with poop.
Welcome to southern California. When willGod's holy plunge or bring some relief?

(29:25):
That's a textos So thank you,sir. But yeah, if you've
ever if you've ever flown on theski jump on the back side of the
Hill. Uh, good news foryou. It's going to remain operational.

you're in close proximity to Tom.Your voice, your voice carries. Let's

(32:07):
the one and only David Vassy.He's got Dodger Talk tonight starts at seven
doing a hell of a job justlike us. During this All Star break,
vass had all the information about thehome run derby. He talked to
PV, talked to him buster onlyparade of a plus guests on Dodger Talk

(32:30):
this week, Rich Hill, JohnSmoltz, come on. His black balloon
is flying. David Vassa on theSouthern California Toyota Dealer, Celebrity Hotline,
Our Dodger Reporter, Spectrum Sports Netand MLB Network two at the Real Underscore
DV second half, Dave, areyou ready to go? Are you riled

(32:50):
up? What's going on tonight?Oh? Yeah, fired up, guys,
and no doubt three to eight pmis prime time on a five seventy
elports. There's no arguing that.And we got another great show for you,
tonight for the first time during thisAll Star break, good or bad,
we are going to take phone callwhoa, whoa to hear from the

(33:13):
fans for the first time this AllStar break. As we head into a
big series between the Dodgers in RedSox, we have the pitching matchups for
that series and River Ryan is notone of the first three starters for the
Dodgers out of the break. Daveshot, should we be alarmed by the
first three starters out of the break? Is this what you suspected was going

(33:37):
to be the case? I knowthe last time you joined, as she
said, you knew that glass Nowwas going to skip a start. But
to see Stone, Robleski and theBig Maple is that what you expected?
Those are the three healthiest and mostable pitchers the Dodgers have. And like

(33:57):
I said yesterday, there's no magicwand at the All Star break to wave
to all of a sudden cured theDodgers pitching injuries. That's going to take
some time. Glass Now may ormay not make a start during the Giant
Series. If not, I believeshortly thereafter on the upcoming road trip where
they go from Houston to San Diego, to Oakland for the final time after

(34:22):
this seven game homestand but Yoshiyamamoto notcoming back until August at the earliest.
Kershaw is expected to make a secondand maybe final rehabs start in Oklahoma City
this weekend, so maybe he's backand maybe finds himself back in Houston to
create the scene of the crime.Game five. David Vess is our guest

(34:47):
Dodger Talk tonight. He's opening upthe phones to the idiots, so give
him a call. At eight sixtysix, nine eighty seven, two five
seventy, Max Munsey went on apodcast and it's bad news. Now.
I don't know why you'd go ona podcast to tell everybody you're not coming
back anytime soon after you got yourselfhurt swinging too hard in batting practice.

(35:07):
What's going on with Munsey? Andhow big of a disappointment is this for
the Dodgers and how hard is itfor them to navigate not having him this
long, huge hole. And that'swhy one of my other trade ideas was
to trade for Vladimir Guerrero Junior andput him at third base, similar to

(35:28):
when Corey Seeger was out with thebroken hand and they made the trade for
Max Scherzer and Trey Turner, andTrey Turner navigated the rest of that period
of time without Seeger. Now thereare no certainties that Max Munsey's coming back.
So if it's not Vladimir Guerrero Junior, does Dodgers have to consider some

(35:50):
sort of pivot trade to shore upthe hot corner, which has had a
combination of guys hitting well below twohundred and also have a ops of under
five hundred. Just to put itin context, Max Monthsey's ops was at
eight hundred. He saw a lotof pitches. He had a big function
in this lineup, and right nowthey're missing that. And you know when

(36:14):
he comes back, what version ofMax Monthly are the Dodgers going to have?
If any Dave? Why would they? Because I think I saw the
g I don't know if it wasa GM or who it was that had
mentioned it. Why would the BlueJays trade Boba sched Ter Vlad Guerrero?
Are they? I mean, Isaw Vlad at the All Star Game.
What's the idea behind that? Well, it's starting to become a little bit

(36:38):
more public that neither one of thoseplayers would find an extension to stay in
Canada. It feels like that's becomingmore apparent, and they only have one
more year left on their contracts,and the highest value you could get for
those two players arguably would be rightnow or maybe even in the off season.

(37:00):
So that's part of the reason whyyou're hearing their names so much.
But look, they cannot sell theentire country of Canada that they are rebuilding.
So there's a report now that they'llhold on to Bishett and Vladdie Junior
and sell off the rentals guys thatdon't have a contract beyond this year,

(37:22):
but that could just be posturing.I've heard the Cleveland Guardians are hot on
the trail of Bo Bishett, whoI feel like his time in Toronto is
starting to come to an end,whether it's on July thirtieth or at the
end of this season. David Vesseis our guest. We're talking about the
Dodgers. Dodger Talk Tonight. Dodgerscome back against the Red Sox seven to

(37:45):
ten. First pitch, Morongo CasinoDodgers on deck from El Segundo, Rock
and Brus and Tim Kaits starts atsix. Dave. When it comes to
the second half and I know thata travel schedule doesn't hurt your pitchers,
I guess, or make make theminjured. But do you think the Dodgers,
because the schedule is a little bitmore favorable travel wise in this second

(38:07):
half or whatever you'd call it,the back half of the season, that
things will be a little bit better. Yeah. The schedule does help them
give their starters that five day ofrest without having to find a bullpen game
or a spot starters, So thatdoes play in their advantage. And if
you look at their strength of schedule, it's one of the weakest in baseball

(38:30):
in the second half, so thatdoes play in their favor. And honestly,
guys, we can flip the scripton this conversation and say the Dodgers
have weathered all these injuries to theirpitchers, to their key players in Maximunsey
and Mookie Betts, and still holda six game lead in the division.
So you could look at it thatway instead of trying to look at it

(38:52):
in a panic the first guy isfalling type of way. What about you
talk about it a little bit yesterday, Dave, we keep talking about trades,
and that's how this you can geta quick fix. Right the Dodgers
have the farm system, they havethe prospects, they have the money.
You talked about school yesterday and takenon hobby bias. Is maybe the only
team that can do that. Butwhat about the competition, you know,

(39:15):
because it seems like the Orioles aregoing to have to get one of these
arms right if they're serious about makinga run this year, and why wouldn't
they be. Corbyn Burns is pitchinggreat, But what kind of competition do
you think will be out there foreither Crochet or schoobl And how much are
the Dodgers going to have to giveup? Well, there's the catch right
there. If the Orioles want thesame pitcher the Dodgers are after, that's

(39:38):
an uphill battle because the Orioles arethe one team that has a more deeper,
talented farm system according to all theexperts, than the Dodgers do.
That's the only team that Detroit orChicago would say, you know what,
we're going with these guys instead ofthe Dodger guys. So that's that's the

(40:00):
only catch. If Baltimore wants thesame pitchers or players the Dodgers do,
that might be a losing battle.David Vasse, there's nobody better, and
he's opening up the phones tonight andyou can take a swipe at the king
on the telephone. Don't miss Iam, I Am on the record petros
As saying you can book it.The Dodgers will acquire Garrett Crochet and Randia

(40:25):
Rose Arena. That's my Rosader.Don't miss Dodger talk tonight. Oh wait,
we forgot Dave. What are youdoing about Japan? Have you started
looking into Japan? Do you knowwhat hotels? Is? The family flying
over? What's the plan for Japan? Well, I'm sitting about visiting my

(40:49):
my mentor's family in Okinawa and goingto his village. Ny. You never
know, might have a death off, face off karate match out there and
break some ice block. This nottournament, Daniels, This for real?
Yeah? Is that the same pieceof wood we found on beshit And it's
weird. I hear Peter Sata inmy head already, like a knight and

(41:13):
shining armor from a love time ago. David Messe, Ladies and gentlemen,
the best of the best. Havea great night, Dave, and we'll
talk to you tomorrow. Mister,how could you call me a coward,
Hey, mister coward. We'll beright back with more great sports talk.
