" Hey there I'm -- Brock please be joined right now by former big league general manager Jim bode -- like Tommy -- honest comment -- is not you don't have all the teams -- but it's pretty good baseball right now we have the two best teams in the World Series we don't usually have that I'm mitigate your prediction before we move on but. First gonna talk other stuff the other World Series start in LA and look out here boy this looks like this thinking get nasty. Frank McCourt Jamie McCourt split -- like Mary Hart here -- team that kind of stuff but is this going to be trouble for the Dodgers."

" Well look this is a nasty divorce and not gonna affect the team according to both -- collecting. And Joe Torre and -- the players are sorry about what the McCourt are going to right now. Believe me it doesn't affect the team never has never well. I work for Marge -- I shouldn't yeah okay questions have been raised though in comparison to what happened with the San Diego Padres -- their owner John Morse and his divorce. Where his divorce not only cost reduction in payroll for the Padres. But eventually force in the -- team. This situation is different first of all Frank McCourt is gonna -- this team jingle -- 50% of what they earned during their marriage. But she will not be involved with a Los Angeles Dodgers and with the leadership -- president -- in Nickelodeon's GM and Joe Torre as manager the Dodgers are in good hands. Not only for short term but long term and yes Frank McCourt. Will keep its payroll were 120 millions and yes the divorce will get so and that's the the reality TV will be begging for his Shell."

" Jamie and court I'm luck here Lowell lawyer on line one for you by the way the team the Dodgers been to the playoffs the Cardinals having every cardinal fan happy about this they bring back Tony La Russa. Little controversy here because now they bring in Mark McGwire is hitting coach. Obviously his career tainted a little bit what your thoughts on the."

" Well it's going to be a lot of negativity initially from the media and from fans. But this was a good signed by Tony La Russa and the Cardinals. Marquez tremendous work ethic and -- on the batting cage with him over the years he's not only great man but -- tremendous knowledgeable teacher when it comes to hitting. He's already done great work helping to develop it Schumacher and that holiday in the off season and these were expected by both of them as well every player. Commissioner Selig is also endorsed -- which I think is significant and important. Mark McGwire's reputation and -- he had been scarred from the congressional hearing and the infamous quote I'm not here to talk about half. Let's hope he takes this opportunity to talk about the past. Get forgiveness from the public and go forward to restore his reputation as a Gooden and who made some bad decisions but never lied about that he can and should become one of the best hitting coaches in Major League base ball."

" Yeah you know I think you make a great point there because I think when he had that congressional hearing -- made those statements he was. In a way admitting guilt but not getting the benefit of being man enough to accept responsibility of the might be a good start for him to start repairing all that. Couple moves -- when asked about Tuesday the Astros they hire a manager Brad Mills and and the Padres -- hired general manager Jeff hallway here."

" Your thoughts about -- well Brad Mills had the perfect resonate. For first time manager he deserves this opportunity he paid his dues. He was a minor league manager for eleven years riding the -- is in the minor leagues for the Cubs Iraqis and the Dodgers. He spent the last six years -- bench coach for the Boston Red Sox and Terry Francona. And that's a minor league manager went to the playoffs six times including a championship. No becomes the fifth -- the Astros as you know in 2002 he's honest respected. It is good -- him -- about how about Jolla at San Diego well you know I think first or Jeff Horner was one of the best hires of this off season. He is one of the bright young minds in all of baseball coming from the Red Sox in the leadership of Larry Lucchino and Theo Epstein. There's no better training ground he's already won two World Series as an executive. And you know what I exchanged text messages -- today. Is that going to be to build this franchise of the draft rather than free agency one of his first goal is going to be upgrading the scouting and minor -- that. And he wants to build this team with pet -- park in mind which means pitching and defense athletic outfielders for that big out they'll let -- go. And yet he want to try to sign Adrian Gonzalez to a long term deal even though he knows his payroll will be in the forty million dollar range but the point."

" For see able future you know laboring evidentiary point here that he has a lot of great training because he's training under the Red Sox executives who are -- the best in baseball but. If you train and that's it or not you go to completely other side of the spectrum more money is a lot tighter. Is that actually good training ground Red Sox Padres -- is because the Red Sox built their franchise with a young players through the draft. We -- would die of Pretoria you've seen it with -- Barry. You you would argue even book called that's really how they're built their team now obviously he can't go out and find the Jason -- in the big time free agent. But he knows developing young players which is really why the Red Sox are competitive and a great -- of course would be signing Adrian Gonzales he's obviously a fan favorite he's he's in Southern California kind of guy. When asked about the World Series I think a lot of years you you look at the two teams they'd -- the best two teams right now. But this year it's the best an American League gets the best nationally period I agree and -- the best to lineup really the best starting pitchers."

" One to three. I think the other day I like the Yankees in seven games only because I like their bullpen in the seventh eighth and ninth inning a little bit better in the Phillies. But this is going to be one of the best World Series we've seen in the long time and of course it's going to be writing on fox."

" When those two teams number one and two in the league in runs after the seventh inning seventh eighth ninth inning should be yeah it makes me for very entertaining games yankees' number one Phillies number two. I that is -- bode well of course appreciate all his sides and don't forget foxsports.com has covered throughout the World Series gem a barrel of rock --"
