This, what are you doing that stupid trickery crap for?

This Felger and Mass.

The continued issue, uh, on 985.

I just want to see what the fuss is about.

Sports Hub.

I'll probably hate it.

All righty.

All righty.

From the Town Fair Tire Studio, it is Felger and Mazz, you're on 985 of Sportsub, 985 a sportsub app, which is a free download on your iPhone or Android device.

And, of course, simulcast on NBC Sports, Boston.

No Felger, no Maz today, as both of them had the foresight to take most of this week off. A hard lesson learned for both producer Jimmy Stewart, who's back there with Billy Lanny and myself. And as Jimmy and I both agreed pre-show, we will never ever work this week again. Is that right, Jimmy? I co-signed. You're right, Murray. You're right.

Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah, boy. I realize. I'm like, why have I been so angry? Well, one, I've been sick for like a week. Nothing worse than being sick in the summer. But, of course, in some karmic way, I'm sure I deserve it. But the other thing... You do. I was like, why, why am I so angry?

Oh, I remember because I had this week off last year,

because I took my typical vacation I take with my friends last year at this time. It usually falls at different points of the summer. It just strategically fell around Fourth of July. But I've learned my lesson, and Jimmy has as well. So, yeah, instead you get me Big Jim already alongside Sean Silver for the next five hours, that that of course, including the baseball reporters. Hi, Sean.

How are you?

Hey, nice to see you.

You as well, my friend.

Well, and don't lie. I mean, you feel miserable. I do. More than usual. I mean, I'm at a, like, on a scale of one to ten, my misery is usually at a base of like six. Okay. It's much higher

It sounds pretty standard

You're at an 11 right now

It's true

It's been that way for a good week
