| 0:32.4 | This is the Baseball Tonight podcast for Friday, April 24th, 2006, and today will be better than yesterday. I'm Buster Only, working from my home in Montana, Taylor-Schwing, is back in Bristol, and today on the podcast, we're going to have Paul M. Bikidis. We've got a couple other guests. We're not sure if they're going to join us or not. We're waiting to hear back from some teams, but Hembo, I'm glad to get you, |
| 0:54.6 | okay? The other day, we had Pete McComville on, you know, the rabid, really heartbroken Mets fan, |
| 1:02.6 | and the way we wanted of introducing him was he's Hembo's boss. That's how we, that's what we settled on. |
| 1:09.6 | We thought that was easier than vice president of whatever he is. |
| 1:13.1 | Yes, a highly appropriate way to introduce Pete McConville. He is a VP. I am very much not either of those |
| 1:20.5 | letters. It goes without saying. I am a mere researcher here looking Buster to talk some positively, |

On Wednesday night, they found a way to win. Luke Weaver was the guy on the mound. And after the game, he talked with our friend, Steve Gelbs of SNY. Give a listen to Luke Weaver after the game last night. Luke, been a long time coming. |
| 2:08.0 | What are the emotions, not just for yourself but for this team, finally getting over the hump |
| 2:13.1 | tonight? A little bit of relief. Look, this wasn't about attitude, this wasn't about word that thick, this wasn't about a bad demeanor, there was none of that. |
| 2:24.3 | It's about just showing up every day, giving you something to cheer about. |
| 2:28.3 | And thankfully today we freaking did that, all right? |
| 2:31.3 | And you finished it off with a flurry. |
| 2:36.0 | One in a third, three strikeouts, including that last one against a red hot Byron |
| 2:40.2 | Buxton. |
| 2:41.1 | You could have pitched around him, you decided to go right after him. |
