" I'm Bryan Webber joined by Jim both the former big league general manager and our baseball analyst Jimmy I don't -- great thank you Brian we appreciate dig -- it's -- what -- about the NL reports from Saint Louis indicate the Cardinals could be willing to give their closer Ryan Franklin a big tension. Why would ability to make that move now."

" Well Brian first of all they want to close the deal before he changes agents and demands of thirty which he probably should get. -- look they're going to pick up the option at two point 75 million tack on an extra year to reward him. Look it's gotta -- six ERA -- 83436. Games. It's not give an opera in the last ten games is an All-Star and boy he come a long way. From that 2005 positive drug test and it's a good message all the kids in America you don't need drugs to perform."

" real story of redemption are you ready to give the division titles Saint Louis now yeah is pretty -- over mails -- enjoy it popped champagne. Jim says it's done the party can dart in the gateway city how about the NL wild card race she got Colorado in -- has killing your estimation which team is built to make it to the play."

" Well I don't think there's any question the Colorado Rockies are to be the best team right now but this is going to be the night on the field the Atlanta Braves are in this thing. -- for the Giants over the Rockies Barry Zito -- month of August has been the difference to keep the Giants in the -- yes Barry Zito. He's three and one -- 193 in August when you read that the Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum. That is an all and three omission given all the way to the end I still like -- Randy Johnson getting closer to coming back how big -- difference Kenny make an alternate number I don't -- is going to make much of a difference for them in fact I think what they should do. His column about and -- Garner from double like I think he'd give better starts and Randy Johnson down the stretch but starting pitching or keep the Giants at the whole way remember the fourteenth in the league in hitting. Not sure their offense is enough to win this thing let's send the Southern California Manny Ramirez continues couple. How concerned -- the Dodgers -- I think they should be concerned Bryant look before the suspension Manny had nine doubles six homers in 92 about. After the suspension eleven doubles eight homers and almost twice they -- back. Significantly should be concerned and he had thirty -- his ball is not caring like it did before the bench and I am worried about about -- instead. Knowing that Manny is going to be Manny come September when the pitching guy gets a little little bit I think he'll have a good month of September. And get ready for the Dodgers post season but should be concerned I think it should."

" Have you lost weight something different about you can't put my finger and the --"

" not just of all he wants his props back Jimmy realize you'll never work in baseball again but look in the broadcast -- think you legitimate and I think we're doing here put odds sports that got up."

" Board Jim O'Brien will he would -- up."
