0:36.6

greece the good news is that aram bo is on vacation. He'll be back shortly. He's in Greece. The good news is that Aaron Boone finally did something that I wanted him to do, that you, Sean,

0:43.1

He was not committing to him just reentering the lineup against the Washington Nationals. He played last night. He came in in the ninth inning.
