And a good Monday afternoon to everybody. We've got a lot of ground to cover. We'll get to the Hurley stuff a little later. It doesn't involve a local team.

But it's me...

LeBron is just so... He's such an attention horror it's a total embarrassment

but I wanted to bring something up and what I need you to do

because you're very bad at this m Mr. R.L. Beard.

I need you to put aside all other points of conversation.

Okay?

We're not going to talk about the team.

We're not going to talk about trades.

We're not going to talk about trades. We're not going to talk about budget.

Stick to the plan on this. I want to sell you this pen. Okay. And on the heels of another

Terric Scuba gem, I want to bring something up and I heard Jim Costa

mentioned it this morning and I thought they did a very nice job with it and I want to

provide some context.

It's one thing to say to Eric Scobel is great, which he is.

It's one thing like preseason.

I said I think he'll be top three in the AL Cy Young. Right now he's the runaway.

So it's, but it's another to say what I'm about to say.

What if he's an MVP candidate?

Now work with me before you guys freak.

Because your boy is going to bring you some numbers here.

I want to give you a player A, player B.
