We have a show to do today.

The whole new acronym thing drives me effing pen.

Can we call him by his way?

Shelver and Mass.

On 985, the Sports Hub.

Let's go.

The narrative put it on you, maybe more so than Alex Breggman.

Yeah.

Look, that's totally fair.

And sometimes I get myself in trouble by saying too much.

Then I get myself in trouble by not saying enough.

So I think with Alex Breggman, I'll just leave it at huge gratitude for what he meant to this organization.

He's an awesome guy.

We loved having him in that clubhouse. Reagan and the family were terrific. Got to know his dad, who's, I think, running for governor of New Mexico. It's a great family. He is an all-world baseball guy and loved having him. He's now a Chicago Cub. He's going to come back the end of the season. Hopefully we're

both gearing up for October baseball and playing each other, and we really wish him well.

Red Sox executives at the picnic tables. Say something completely asinine or false or a blatant

lie or disingenuous or unrelatable. For the next 48 hours, they get hammered by their fans and discerning media, and then they have to walk it back or try and jam the toothpaste back in the tube.

And that's what happened today with Sam Kennedy on Nesson, 48 hours after saying if Alex Bregman wanted to be here, he'd be here and getting eviscerated for it. He goes on Nesson, Lomolone, friend of the show. I'd just say that. I think he is. I hope he is. No one would, no one would blame him if he was no longer. Yeah, I don't want to make an assumption. Lumiloni on Nesson there with the question and answer.

And Nesson there, the team network sort of help Sam Kennedy smooth it back out.

Well, you know how that one went down.

Call the network.

Let them know we have to get back out there and apologize again or take it back again, however you want.
