Here's all I can tell you. Welcome back, 971. RICO with the day off.

My reaction to when I received a flurry of texts while live on the air, to what I'm about to say to you is akin to a drop we have in the system.

From a movie I've never watched.

And it features a, I don't know, is it a chimpanzee, a monkey, an ape?

I don't know what the hell it is because I don't watch science fiction.

It's just a cute little guy and he looks up at the sky and says,

Oh, no. Oh, no, oh no.

That's the reaction when you find out your baseball team delivered on their demand of a one-year arm.

Welcome Alex Cobb.

A guy who's been primarily hurt the last decade, who will be 38, I believe,

when the season starts and has no real professional future.

Now, again, can he be serviceable and come in here and give you a four ERA and eat innings,

I guess?

Why is that what I'm supposed to accept?

Why am I supposed to lie to my listeners and tell me that's the best we could do?

Why?

Why?

When we opened the show with this, and I gave you the reports,

hey, Tigers really like Walker Bueller, who's like eight years younger,

but they only want to sign a pitcher to a one-year deal.

Wait a minute, a year ago, you gave that corpse my A to two.

One year?
