Joining us now by the AT&T expert hotline, the general manager of the Baltimore Orioles, Dan Duket.

And so, Dan, let me ask you a lot of attention on this series.

What do you think will happen here in the early part of the game? Early part of the series. How are you? Good. How are you? Good. Yeah, good. How about yourself? Pretty good. I mean, these two teams play each other what, about 24 times a year if you count spring training and during the season.

But frankly, I thought the issue we had last week, that was way overblown.

And I didn't think Manny was trying to hurt the joy at second base and there's no place in the game for head hunting. I don't, I don't care. That's a no-no. And the league dealt with that. So I would hope that we would get on with things and just play ball, play good hard ball against the Red Sox. Okay, so from your standpoint, the matters closed, the Orioles feel like it was handled

properly?

No, no, no, no.

Head hunting is never acceptable, okay?

If you're going to brush a guy back, you can't threaten his livelihood by throwing

at his head, okay?

That's not acceptable in any league.

I don't care. Okay? that's not acceptable in any league. I don't care.

Okay?

And frankly, I think the league addressed that when they suspended Barnes.

I don't advocate that.

I've never advocated that.

And I wouldn't advocate our pitchers do that.

That's just not acceptable.

Okay, so, Dan, what I'm saying, though, the fact that the league gave Barnes four games,

does that sufficiently close the book for the Orioles?

The Orioles are here to play ball, Tony.

I mean, like I said, we wind up against the Red Sox 25 times a year,
