00:00You know, we were talking about this earlier and I've always,

00:04I've been critical about Alex Corkas about just him getting more of the blame

00:10at times and like what we're hearing from him now,

00:13because we've been critical about kind of making excuses for these guys

00:16playing in the cold weather.

00:18And I told you,

00:19I heard on the broadcast where they were trying to potentially change the

00:22start of the game time.

00:24Well, is that accurate or that is the,

00:27that is the suggestion is that Alex Corka wanted to change.

00:32He said he,

00:32he asked Sam Kennedy to move them up for the week.

00:37And because of the cold weather.

00:38Yeah.

00:39So both teams are playing in the cold weather.

00:42Like, what are we, what are we doing?

00:44Well, that's why I'd say like sometimes when we,

00:47when, when we criticize these guys,

00:49we tend to leave Alex Corka off the blame pie.

00:54And you know, part of, part of some of these things could be the potential of,

00:59you know,

01:00if you're willing to build in excuses for your players.

01:02I have an idea, not Hill notes earlier in the day.

01:06Yeah.

01:06Why did the Red Sox train in Fort Myers if they start the season in Boston?

01:11Right.

01:11They should train in Alaska.

01:14Well, I mean.

01:15That way they're ready for the cold.

01:17Belichick practices in all seasons.

01:19Yep.

01:19Yeah.

01:20When the, when it was rain, he would wet the balls.

01:22So you're saying they, they lead the league in, in case, right?

01:27Right.

01:27And double plays.

01:29So you're saying that Alex Corka,

01:32by suggesting that they change the start time of the baseball game,

01:37is deploying an excuse as opposed to pointing the finger at himself and saying,

01:43we didn't do,

01:43we didn't do a good enough job in Fort Myers when it came to hitting the,

01:47working on hitting the baseball.

01:49Yeah.

01:49The K's don't bother me as much.

01:50I think it's about more about building in that excuse of, well,

01:53it's cold, it's cold, it's cold.

01:55And then when things maybe go bad, they'll be like, well,

01:58we can find an excuse on why it's going bad.

02:02I think that the K's are just guys.

02:05Everybody now is trying to hit the ball out of the park and they swing for the

02:08fences and they swing at bad pitches.

02:10And, you know, there's not really a lot of patience there.

02:13But I would just say it's more of building the excuse in.

02:17Like we get on coaches for giving their teams excuses.

02:22And I would say to Corka, like, don't even give them that out.

02:26I mean, yeah, I get it's cold.

02:27It's cold for everybody.

02:28But when you start to say, you know, May,

02:31can we move the game because of this cold weather?

02:33It allows you to build in an excuse, which, you know,

02:38a lot of people don't give.

02:39Well, I mean,

02:39I guess you have some guys on this team who have yet to play in this kind of

02:43weather.

02:45I, you know, it was snowing opening day in Portland,

02:50Maine with the Sea Dogs.

02:51It was snowing and they played the baseball game.

02:54So I.

02:54But this is the perfect thing for fans of baseball, right?

02:58When you look at spans fans of baseball, this would be the perfect time to say,

03:04hey, this is why we should eliminate some games because then maybe we could

03:09start the season May 1st.

03:11And in all the cold weather area places, it's not just Boston,

03:15but I bet it's cold in New York.

03:17You don't want the season to start until May 1st.

03:20Like, well, what's the difference between April 1st and May 1st?

03:23Yeah.

03:23The weather's just better.

03:25Probably 30 days.

03:26Yeah, exactly.

03:26But the weather's better.

03:28I mean, so if why is it like what's this whole significance of starting it

03:35April 1st?

03:35And also, like, if I'm if I was planning on going to the games this week,

03:39I'd be happy that Alex Cora asked Sam Kennedy to move them earlier.

03:43It stinks sitting there.

03:45We're not.

03:45There were not a lot of people there yesterday.

03:47And so.

03:48Right.

03:49But that's the weather.

03:51It's I.

03:52Yeah.

03:53I mean, I don't know.

03:54But at least it was sunny yesterday.

03:55It's like they've done it.

03:57That like people have people go out in the cold and and build buildings.

04:02Yeah.

04:02But that's their job.

04:04Greg, you always go back to like that.

04:06I do.

04:06Do you want to go because I care about regular people?

04:09So what about all the regular people that want to go to the baseball game and don't want

04:13to sit in twenty five degree weather?

04:16Those are regular people.

04:17So it's a way to help out regular people who spend money, who spend a good amount of money

04:22that don't want to sit out there when it's twenty five degrees and drizzling or it feels

04:27like it's ten degrees.

04:28Stop the season at the beginning of May.

04:31OK, so and then are you going to end the season in September because it gets cold?

04:35Yeah.

04:35No.

04:36I was like, I hate to break it to people.

04:38It gets cold in October.

04:39Right.

04:40But it's the average temperature warmer in April or October.

04:44October.

04:45Yeah.

04:45I bet it's October.

04:46Yeah.

04:46I would probably agree with Courtney.

04:48Yeah.

04:48You know, but but that would be a way to shorten the season and, you know, make the game better

04:55better for fans that want to that live in these areas where they, you know, warmer in

05:00October.

05:01Yeah, it is.

05:01Yeah.

05:02So average by four degrees.

05:03Yeah.

05:03There you go.

05:04So I have it by six.

05:06Oh, baby.

05:07Then I go with Curtis because Curtis is the weather guy.

05:09He's the weather guy.

05:11And then if they could do the World Series, you could have Wyclef do a song, Gone Till November.

05:15Right.

05:16And how many people complain about baseball just being too long?

05:19This is John from Gardner.

05:21Hey, John.

05:23Good morning.

05:23Good folks.

05:24Speaking of the weather, I hope that conditions out here, I do not portend ill things for my

05:28golf season.

05:30Gardner Municipal was scheduled to open today.

05:33Guess what we got out here?

05:34Oh, it's snow.

05:35It's snow.

05:35You have snow.

05:36Yeah.

05:36It's like the pavement isn't covered, but the grass, my tenants' cars are completely

05:41covered.

05:42So I don't think we're going to have the opening today.

05:44Hey, listen, I've had a question about the match for a while, Greg.

05:47Yeah.

05:48Is it true that after arduous negotiations that now, besides the six strokes you're giving

05:53shine, you have to compete with a shovel and a rake?

05:57There is no strokes.

05:59No strokes.

05:59And when it comes to the match, I was earlier this morning, my good friend Walter over at

06:05Granite Lynx.

06:06Great guy.

06:06Uh, asked what the official date is, and he is suggesting a Tuesday in May.

06:12So, uh, although I will say this, there may, I, we received a request for a second match.

06:20I don't want to get too deep in this, but on the road.

06:23Yes.

06:23On the road being another state.

06:25Wow.

06:26Yeah.

06:26Am I right about that?

06:27Uh, you are correct about that, Greg.

06:28Uh, quite a ways away to not, not just, you know, next neighboring state, but anyway,

06:33as in Greg and I would have to fly together.

06:35Well, it might not, it might not be together, but okay.

06:39Uh, on the same plane, maybe two different sections of the plane.

06:43Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

06:44It will be at Granite Lynx and it will be, uh, it'll be in May.

06:48So weather should be fine.

06:50Yeah.

06:50Like no complaining about the weather.

06:51We should feel good in May.

06:53And if you have one bad day in May, you can kind of live with that.

06:57And now, isn't it really like you brought up April 1st.

07:01The season starts at the end of March.

07:02So it doesn't even really matter no more.

07:04So I would eliminate it and say, Hey, we're going to help out these teams.

07:09We're going to start the major league baseball season.

07:12The beginning of the year.

07:12Here's a text from main wiggy, which says people sit in the cold and rain all year long

07:17to watch Patriots games.

07:18Why can't the Red Sox fans do the same?

07:20Agree.

07:21Well, cause there's not 162 of them.

07:25Bundle yourself up.

07:26And how many do they really sit in the cold weather?

07:29Be honest.

07:29How many, there's only eight home games, sometimes nine.

07:33How many of those are really in the cold weather?

07:36At least two or three.

07:37Okay.

07:38So you could deal with two or three.

07:40This here, the, the Red Sox, you could say you could potentially have, depending on

07:46if you're playing in Baltimore, which is cold.

07:48And then you go from Baltimore to St. Louis and then St. Louis to Boston.

07:52You're going to move the games.

07:54Alex Cora wants you to move the games to sunlight.

07:58And so then nobody who works can get there and go to a baseball game in April.

08:03It seems ridiculous.

08:04But think of how many people went to that game.

08:07What time is opening day?

08:09Okay.

08:10That's a special thing, Curtis.

08:11It's always like that.

08:12But what's the toughest ticket of the whole season?

08:15Because, because it's opening day and people take that day off.

08:17They're not going to take a random, you know, Wednesday.

08:21Like, let's use this week.

08:22Would you bring a client to Fenway, not in a suite, last night?

08:25No.

08:26Or even a couple nights ago when it was really cold.

08:29It's much, I mean, given the way we are with remote work and the way your phone has

08:33everything you need on it, if you get a call, you want to go where you can sit and enjoy.

08:38Opening day was gorgeous.

08:41You are far more likely to have a day like that in May than you are in April.

08:44It's not even close.

08:45Yeah.

08:46Like, it would be an offense to a client if it was 32 degrees and drizzling.

08:50And you're like, so what do you think about joining us for another year?

08:54Where the guy's got, like, a drenched hot dog before he sits down.

08:57I don't know.

08:59I just, it's like, it's been done that way forever.

09:03It didn't seem to be an issue for Yaz.

09:06Yeah, but does that mean it's right?

09:07How many things have changed, Greg, since Yaz was not done?

09:10Manning left field.

09:11I didn't see Yaz out there shivering with a full poopy schnizzle on.

09:17Pooh-sheisty.

09:18A pooh-sheisty on.

09:19No, he just had a Marlboro Red in the sixth inning.

09:22I didn't see Yaz with a long underwear on under his Red Sox.

09:28Weren't they all, like, drinking during games, though?

09:30They had a liquor blanket.

09:32I bet he did have a liquor blanket.

09:34They were fine.

09:35They had moonshine on top of the eighth.

09:37They were full, the underneath old school pajama sets.

09:42Like, that was the normal thing to wear back then.
