These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports. Say that more slowly because I'm stupid. Pelker and Mazz on 985. The Sports Hub. It was a tough year, Murray. I mean, they did it. You know, there was some, I'm not being sarcastic. You know, they had the, they had the manager John, who they hated. They had the thing with Dustin Padrejo and Mani Machado in Baltimore. They they react well to that. And of course, you had David Price and the Eckersley thing. And the media pressure built and they all hated their manager and the media hated them. And they don't have any fun. Even though it didn't prevent them from winning 93 games and the division again. It was just a drag on the team. Those are minor annoyances. Still, this, the whole, this, this narrative bugs the hell out of me. A real issue is when manager John gets a cancer diagnosis towards the end of the season a few years ago. That's a real issue that can, you know, kind of hurt a clubhouse. That's all they're thinking about. That's a real problem. What was a real problem last year? Oh, the media was a little annoying. Oh, we were bothering you because we kept asking about Eck. Oh. Oh, it was a bad look because one guy looked like he'd rather be a Baltimore Oriol during the middle of a game. Oh, we're wrong to bring that up and keep bothering you. And media guys doing their job asking you after the game. And then you, you Padrae, saying, can I go now? Oh, this is so hard. Oh, it wasn't fun. I'm sorry it wasn't enough fun for you guys. Go have more fun this year because mean old manager John's gone now. Oh, this team. Go on. Sorry. It just bugs me. So, right. You heard Alex Corr and his first availability with the media talking about, I don't know what style I'm going to have or what, you know, but having fun is important. And then Betts and Bogarts spoke and talked about how there was a lack of fun last year, and you got to be lighter and you got to, you know, have more fun. and then I get my Harold delivered at my doorstep today again my little baby dinosaur

of the new of fun last year and you got to be lighter and you got to, you know, have more fun.

And then I get my Harold delivered at my doorstep today.

I get my little baby dinosaur, the newspaper.

And here on the front page, this is not being sarcastic.

Oh, man.

Happy days.

This is the entire front page.

If I watch it on NBC Sports, Boston, this is the front page of the newspaper.

Happy days!

And it's a picture of them goofing around, I guess, on Pitcher Day.

And you have, is that Christian Vasquez giving the rabbit ears behind who?

Is it Chady Martinez?

No, he wasn't here yet.

Oh, that might be workman, maybe?

Whoever, so here's Christian Vasquez. Barran's the catcher. Making the, like, a rabbit ear sign when... Yeah, like the hook and horns or whatever. When some, whoever that player is. Devin Marrero. Devin Marrero isn't looking. Who's that? You've got... Is that Greg Kimball up in the upper left-hand corner? Yeah, that's Kimbril holding the, what's that, a Lester face?

So apparently, no, they had oversized face pictures of themselves. Oh. So they started playing with these oversized face pitchers. I don't even know what the hell they are. Like the Wallach Head. Yes, like the Wallach Head. The fat heads, I think. Fat heads.

And then inside, when you look.

Oh, I got one, too.

Who's that guy in the upper right-hand corner?

Is that Brockold? It's Beninti with his hair. It's Benitendi, yeah. No, it's not. It's like a special wiggie thing. Like, they have a special wig thing that they were playing with. Oh.

Okay, that's a special wig thing that they were having fun with. You also have Kimbril holding his bobblehead.
