B-Pod Studios The Sports Hub at Belgar I'm a liar and a photo one of those no good nicks you keep running away from Maz I'm a man, well nobody's perfect Belger and Maz 985 985, the Sports Hub. Hi, hi, everybody, welcome to the program.

It's a Friday.

You know what that means, maize?

Agenda free Friday. I don't have the reading in front of me, William, but it's brought. Oh, we've lost the sponsorship. Okay. There's a sponsorship available for Agenda Free Friday. How about that? Or, no. Yes. it strikes everything that I've just said.

I don't have the read in front of me.

I don't know if the sponsorship is open.

I just don't know.

How's that?

But we'll get you that information shortly.

Agenda Free Friday is brought to by Maz Incorporated.

The idea here is that you set the agenda with your wonderful phone calls, okay?

Anything from the week we've gotten to or have yet to get to is up to you.

Okay?

So you call.

We take your calls while the calls are coming onto the board and the things are being inputted.

We give opening thoughts and that's how we go.

So you may release a hounds billy at 617-779-0-98-5. We start with opening thoughts. Maz, do you have one? Sure, yes, I'll go first.

But yesterday, boy, the mental mistakes on this team yesterday. the miss fly ball in the L field between Mookiee Betts and Jackie Bradley

and Mookie Betts getting thrown out at third base as the first out, down four in the ninth inning. That was unbelievable. I mean, to me, that is one of the worst mistakes I've ever seen a player make in my life. Never mind who's throwing out there. Who's, you know, who he's running against. So that's another thing. Okay, the guy's been gunning down people all weekend. Oh, my God. And so really, that Mookie Betts mistake was absolutely enormous. And I mentioned this earlier the week, and I'll mention it again now. After six games this year, the Red Sox were one in five. The last two times they were one in five or

worse, 2011 and 2012. And I don't need to tell you where those two teams rank in Red Sox history.

One was a supremely talented team that completely crapped its pants and choked down the stretch

and ended up being one of the great disgraces
