Well, that, of course, is Alex Cora on his one-win, Boston Red Sox, one and four, which is essentially the way they started the season last season.

There was Curtis during the break a text message for you, 978 text, which reads, Listening Late on the Odyssey app,

Of course, Curtis blames John Henry

for Major League players being unable to put a bat on a ball.

I don't know that that was the main direction of your lead this morning,

So when you have a acquisition of a guy like Sunny Gray, when you bring in Durbin as opposed to retaining,

I think he would be.

Then you get to the world baseball classic and your stars

are dominating on the world stage. I thought, although I disagreed with the off season, that the

team was going to be very good this year, and I thought they would be the American League representative

in the World Series. That does not mean that the way they approach their roster building is right.

And they decide, not me, to get Sunny Gray and have the Cardinals pay $20 million of his salary.

It's just, I don't understand why we give this guy a pass or why we say that it's like,
