What are you in a lot?

Did you say someone got to stop?

Brian Patta, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down.

The key to this case, it's Brian.

Boy, he's breath there.

An hour before he died, he was on the phone. This might be a hit.

You want the truth.

The biggest one of conviction being placed him to arrest.

We had a killer amongst us.

Murder at the U.

Listen now.

This is the baseball tonight podcast for Friday, February 27, 2006, and today will be better than yesterday. I'm Buster Only, living the hotel life in Tampa, Florida. Taylor Shwink is back in the Shwink Studios. Taylor, how you doing? Buster, doing well. Getting ready. We've got WBC murmurs about. Some of the guys that are about to join us, they're going to see some teams play, they're going to see some players.

I'm excited to bring that into the show here.

Yeah, Alden Gonzalez, Jorge Castillo, cover baseball for ESPN.

Join us for the top of the first.

Good to see you guys.

I thought you were going to see you in Bristol this week, but that snowstorm interrupted us. Unfortunately, Buster, I had to miss it and instead be in this nice 75-degree weather in Southern California. So not feeling terrible about it. Really? I'm in New York, so we still got it. You know, we still got it down in in New York. Yeah, Jorge doesn't want to hear it. You don't want to hear that down in Tampa, it's at 70 degrees. All right. Top of the first, let's hit on the topics of the day. One, Max Scherzer signs with the Toronto Blue Jays, $3 million base. Guys, I thought when Tony Vitello, who was a good friend from his college days,

got that job of the Giants, I thought eventually he would wind up back with the Giants and back

with Tony. What did you think, Jorge? Yeah, I thought the same thing. They're best friends or,

you know, as close to best friends as possible from what I understand. So I was shocked when he, uh, that it didn't happen right away. I thought that Scherzer was the kind of guy and maybe this is going to happen with the Blue Jays that he can sign like later on and just maybe show up sometime in the summer for the Giants. Uh, but going back to the Blue Jays was a surprise to me. Uh, but hey, things happened. Maybe it just wasn't a fit there. Ultimately, Buster

Posey's making the decision there, not the manager. So he ends up in Toronto, and I'm surprised by it.
