Back to the calls on the Red Sox who lose just in brutal fashion last night after a 90-minute rain delay in Minnesota, five to four, a couple of days away from the MLB trade deadline. What, if anything, is going to happen, or is it going to be another summer of the old banana in the tailpipe, or them middling it? If they're going to middle, it just do nothing, then, because it just do something for real. It's a team worth investing in. You're in the playoff hunt. You're in the playoffs as of right now. So all of that. And then we'll get back to the Pats in a little bit as well if you want to weigh in on them and the latest going on in training camp. But we'll go to Rich and Wareham with a thought on last night's game. What's up, Rich? Hello? Yes, Rich. Hi. What's going on? Listen, first and foremost, Hicks needs to learn out of throw strikes or get out of here.

Another thing is, they should say, you know, call up MLB, front office, just talks to someone up there and say, okay, name five twins. That aren't Harmon Killebrew and Rod Carew and other famous twins in your history, famous twins, your his Kirby Puckett. You can't do it. You can't do it. we're calling it because they're a nameless facelip franchise no one cares about anymore 90 minutes in the bottom of the night last night it's it's it's it's it's a terminal i couldn't believe if they did it i'm not calling it a fake loss i'm gonna wait and see what happens tonight if they lose again tonight not a fake loss real loss uh.
