e yes yes you hear me hissing like a little snake boy check this out again see if you can hear it this time yes yes yes I like that yeah you like that I’m a little snake boy yeah you like that would that be your spirit animal H good question what would my spirit animal be oh probably something really small I I was oh probably something bald I was going to say Geral but be a Geral be great that might be the answer I feel like I’m more of a Marmet maybe a wbat I like that the wombat more from our friends in Australia am I correct yeah yeah koalas wombats wallabies like that text in your spirit animal Air Comfort Service text line 314 39996 46 uh and uh we got the YouTube chat going trying to get my authenticator to open up my email right now I got to tell you something I’m loaded for bear today I don’t know if you can tell maybe it’s the snake boy thing mhm I feel it yeah that kind of sends a message to the audience that this guy means business so what Sheldon Keef got whacked is that right we I mean we kind of knew it was coming yeah yep that happened what within the last hour believe so okay are are you confident in this no so you don’t know if he was whacked I thought no my God what are we doing is is is Rocko available give me out the pen exhausting I don’t have it today Sheldon Keefe Leaf’s head coach we knew one of them was going to get fired it was just matter who won game seven he has been relieved of his duties as head coach the organization will immediately begin the search for a new head coach I’m 100% confident now unbelievable anyway so people were wondering hey is the blues former head coach who was fired for no particular reason going to go coach the Chicago Cubs of the NHL I would think he would be first in line but they’re thinking he might go to the Devils yeah that’s where the buzz is this morning how you think because they had Biz given him the little trouble that he gave him on the uh intermission when he said if you don’t stop I’m going to tell everybody you’re the leaf next I’m going to break the news that you’re the leaf new head coach people like oh and then bruy just had this little smirk on his face the whole time when he said it that’s the upside of having a guy like biz on your show cuz he can say stuff like that cuz he’s kind of invincible and you know plays around like that and so you can kind of work things through him you know get the offense going through him I know you listen to a lot of spit and chicklets uh I I did a great follow on Twitter Mike grenell okay granelli doesn’t sound like you’re a big spit and chicklets guy based on oh yeah granelli he’s the producer right okay now all of a sudden I boy you would have thrown me off I would have lost that pot yeah uh he him and I think YP young pages are friends yeah um he says I heard buuy to New Jersey is happening but who knows Toronto’s got the money so that’s what he just tweeted out here about a half hour ago either way uh this is uh what he said purely speculation but two names I like for the Toronto bench boss Todd mcclelen and Jay Woodcroft okay those are humans now now when you say those are humans I I I I’m unaware of their their uh what they’ve done their career but I wish them nothing but the best well uh what if I told you one of them has ties right here to the St Louis metropolitan area and as a host of a onehour show on 101 ESPN it is our fiduciary responsibility to know which one and to know what those ties are let’s go Woodcraft yes show prep season and he went to Afton he was a member of the Cougars did you you know that when George Clooney was taking the beautiful ver figga around to his old high school in 2009’s up in the air that that scene was shot at afon yep I bet you did yeah I love up in the air uh Jay Woodcraft was with the Missouri River Riders okay nice all right so there’s that legima ties and do you know where he most recently coached is in the NHL yes Jesus it can’t be San Jose but I’m thinking out west I’m gonna go um he’s fired this season oh his team was the Stanley Cup favorite last night at about 8:30 p.m. per the Bruins Panthers broadcast which I’m sure you’re watching as we watched Matthew kachuck and pasta get down get down is it C of the Panthers that’s my soul leaving my body no he coached former blue Alex petrangelo in the top defensive pairing in Edmonton got it got it okay all right so he’s yeah he knows cold it is cold up there I mean Toronto isn’t like up there it’s up there but it’s not up there South Beach compared to Edmonton there you go so anyway there you go Jackson all right well good for granelli for having the info and uh I’m glad we were able to nail down that Sheldon Keef has has been yeah did he’s uh been given the short haircut bricks pal now you were you down on him or something would you have the leaf to win I did I like the Leafs coming back once they got to that thing 33 said forget about it leafes are going to Hoist the Chalice it’s going to be magic in Ontario we need to travel up there uh that was Alec Baldwin and Glen Gary Glenn Ross nice hit the bricks pal I really like that and he said that to Jack Lemon he did Jack Lemon and uh uh Ed Harris and the late great Allen Arin ladies found uh and perhaps some gentlemen too we don’t can’t shame and and everything is in play on this program as you know they found that Ed Harris to be a delectable gentleman bald guy I know that’s why that’s why I’m citing because I’m in the tank on whether or not to get uh hair transplants I guess that what you’d call it yeah had another meeting with him yesterday yeah hair restoration procedure like why wouldn’t you do it and then I talked about it with my wife last night I think the thing is I’m like I’m already hot so I don’t know if I want to like mess with it right there is um like a point of diminishing returns exactly like I I can I get much hotter can we get much higher so high whoo ho continue oh I was going to let you finish that off horrible well either way there is another report that may be of more interest to this audience than Jackson breaking down the Sheldon Kei firing that he clearly just found out about and just found out about what Jay Woodcroft had been doing up until his termination and how well he coached Alex petrangelo with the Oilers feeling good about the segment so far and I’ve got I’ve got something for you all right I got something for you you’re G to get it oh yeah you’re going to get it you’re going to get it good on the other side of the break though you’re going to want to stick around for this when I tease my teases are not empty teases no I mean it’s a report I just don’t know it’s a report okay and it’s a report from somebody who many believe is super credible regarding the local nine and then I’m going to take said report and I’m going to extrapolate and I’m going to give you a little prediction and it’s going to get you buzzing do with that what you want your choice you can you can switch over now you can it’s to what exactly come on now my legs are shaking yeah yeah yeah mine are too but that’s because of the lifts it’s balloon party 1010 ESPN e e e e e e e all right Jackson I tease you you stuck around it’s time to handsomely reward you we got we got reports it’s a balloon party 101 ESPN my name is Tim mcer that’s Jackson brette text your buddies getting a YouTube chat talk it over uh the pope wrote in the YouTube chat Tim please continue to tease us it’s very hot I hope that’s the the pope who can roll the rock Pope can roll The Rock he absolutely can all right we got a few things here you’ll be handsomely rewarded for sticking around and those of you watching even more so Jackson here’s Chris Rose and Trevor ploof yesterday this sets the stage for our discussion in segment two a balloon party on Thursday May 9th 2024 at 10:17 time check brought to you by by Clarks and Jewelers hit the space bar batch it sucks for Wilson curers it sucks for the Cardinals the biggest thing is it’s not JD’s Martinez’s fault it’s not the umpire’s fault time out time out what are we playing we’re not playing the right clip oh we’re not playing the right clip what are we doing happens to the best of us seriously is Rocko around Tanner Bradford good morning Grant all right that that didn’t happen here’s the clip I wanted to do a topic on the Cardinals for weeks there’s something wrong with this team and Paul gold Schmid has never looked worse I I cannot believe I’m we’re seeing some of the swings we are particularly on balls that are so far out of the strike zone I want to believe in the Cardinals I believed in them last year didn’t happen I believe them this year I believe I I I think I picked him to win the NL Central it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen especially when you lose contras for 68 weeks you’re going to dig they already have dug themselves a hole I do believe that they are facing now like they’re going to be in decision time soon man it just feels like for so long we always talk about the Cardinal Way and I think part of the Cardinal Way was being consistent with their decisions and being firm and having a direction and it feels like they’re literally all over the place they’re in a interesting spot here it doesn’t seem like they’re all in and it doesn’t seem like they’re ready to have some sort of retool or rebuild either so they’re caught in the middle and that’s just not where you want to be as a franchise Trevor plof I couldn’t agree with you anymore now let’s revisit my offseason Theory and then I shall build a hypothesis off of these reports and give you the said reports and my hypothesis you heard Chris Rose and Trevor ploof um discussing at Chris Rose from MLB Network back in the day and now he’s got a podcast with Trevor plof so I believe that if the Cardinals felt confident in their television Revenue you would have seen them aggressively change courses with the organization’s Direction in July of 2023 but because they’re uncertain of what the short-term future is for their television revenue and their la longterm future for that television Revenue as a plan is not in place that they feel like they can’t risk a season in which they get down to like two million in attendance even though I still think people would come out I think people might excitedly come out to watch a new generation of Cardinals players and so therefore they held the course and went into what Chris Rose and Trevor plof just said right there this kind of well they’re not really all in but they’re not really rebuilding and they’re just kind of in this what I called it over the offseason this hybrid mode it’s why you saw the short-term contracts and only two players on the current Cardinal roster right now are under contract Beyond 2026 Jackson you wouldn’t happen to know their names would you Sunny gray and Miles michelas no this is a segment that if any talent scouts are listing you said the two pitchers right two players arado and Contreras that’s correct okay I misheard there’s a now maybe maybe I said it you you’ve got me wondering and it’s weird for me not to be perfect right yeah I just a total lapse in my brain and I’ll are you still focused on hitting the wrong sound bite no I’ve moved on from that just wondering how the nuggets are gonna really stick it to the timber wolves because this is not that’s where Jackson not acceptable Edwards situation so why is that my belief is the reasoning is because they are concerned about the long-term stability of what had been approximately a third of their revenue understandably so even if you are not necessarily sympathetic to whomever with the organization right now I think people can get that now if you default to he’s a billionaire who cares go lose money I kind of disagree with that part but I do know some people feel that way and we don’t cake shame on this program and that to me is a kink you don’t think that’s a kink go ahead and say something are you still on the Nuggets no it’s a kink and we don’t kink shame okay fair enough it’s a set in stone so let us get to these reports talking baseball tell the people what talking baseball is uh talking baseball is a johnboy brand there’s a podcast with I believe talk and Jake and then Trevor plof who just heard in the Chris Rose sound bite uh they do a podcast with the johnboy Media Group and what did talk and baseball tweet out yesterday well I got the audio for you right here to thank you a guy like Nolan arado I think he’s a very intriguing piece because you’re s at the bottom of your division you think the division’s pretty dang good it’s a lot of money for a guy that’s you know mid-30s now but the the Rockies are paying down some of this salary this year is 35 million but 5 million is getting paid by the Rockies then it’s 32 5 million paid for the Rockies so you’re paying 27 in 2025 and then it goes down to 27 but the Rockies are paying 5 million and then 2027 it’s $15 million so it’s it’s heading the way you want it to be heading I think a lot of teams would take him on so talking about trading Nolan arado this year if you recall in July of 2023 the Los Angeles Times had a report that even by us talking about we were excoriated for sighting even though it was a credible writer with the Los Angeles Times uh that noan arnado said the only team he would go to is the Los Angeles Dodgers and a large number of Cardinal fans and St Louis media for that matter uh just like was like that can’t possibly be true Jorge Castillo was the name of the writer that’s correct I that was that was one of the stranger things I’ve encountered in my 25 year career how that was just dismissed it was very odd but either way whatever either way I how do you feel about that uh with the benefit of now you know 10 months removed digressing um so would the Cardinals go that direction that’s one topic of conversation but the report that leads to my hypothesis is from a Twitter account that isn’t just just like guy with dog Avatar and scripture quote who acts like a complete a-hole cuz that that doesn’t necessarily narrow it down does how you really feel what do you think I’ve been doing for the last 25 years around here y incarcerated Bob Jackson how many Twitter follows you judge a man by his followers you always have always will 151,000 that’s right that’s right that’s right tweeted this out this morning this incarcerated Bob some believe this guy actually is truly plugged into front offices around baseball not just St Louis uh Source Cardinal manager Ali maral is starting to lose supporters in the front office and the current feeling is he has two to three weeks to turn this season around before a possible firing was tweeted out two hours ago and the immediate reaction when I read that this morning on TMA from one of uh our cohorts on the program Jackson Ken igy stro you may know him from hedonism at the Stevie Nicks concert two nights ago and that is they would never do that they would look so stupid because they have just giving him an extension and I agree with that I get where he’s coming from sure here is why I think it’s live even though and I want to be crystal clear on this I don’t blame Ali maral for this I really don’t I don’t believe you can share these two opinions the Cardinals are cheap and they’re not getting anybody in here and therefore the roster is absolute garbage it’s alyar Maul’s fault that the Cardinals aren’t winning you see what I’m saying like it’s it’s either one or the other and whoever you would think is the best manager in baseball right now some probably go Bruce Boi he’s won World Series all over the damn place what’s Bruce Boi going to do with this is Bruce Boi gonna show Gold Schmid how to hit a fastball again or how to recognize a slider outside the Zone maybe he can I don’t know point being the organization is now in a spot with what they saw as far as the actual people in the stands the two nights against the Mets and what they saw earlier in the month of April against the Phillies when you had Sunny grey making his debut and pitching against Zack Wheeler two guys who would be live for the Sai Young at the moment I mean I know it’s month and a half in and you had one of the smallest crowds in the history of Bush Stadium 3 I believe that bill dwit Jr the chairman Bill DT the third who I believe soon will be the chairman by soon I mean within the next 2 years are going we cannot have a summer of no attendance I know they’ll have tickets sold but I’m talking about people who actually go down there why because it impacts concessions but it also impacts their other investment and that’s Ballpark Village they feed each other yeah and therefore even though it would look incredibly moronic to fire a guy two months after you gave him an extension I don’t believe John male is going anywhere because he has crafted this own exit albeit you know a year and a half away and I don’t think that they would make that move right considering he is going to I believe become Bill thewit I thiri and run the business side of things when Bill thewit the third becomes the chairman that’s what I think is going to happen so what do you do you let go Mar mall and how do you bring fans in the stands clapping their hands yachty or Molina I don’t think it’s going to matter by the way but as far as entertainment goes sure and if on the off chance that for whatever reason a clubhouse that to me doesn’t really strike me as of having like the the you know champagne room at The Viper Room from The Rat Pack uh if anybody is a term I used to hear it’s St Gabriel’s Lolly gagging or as my father used to say to me and my brothers stop just jacking around Timmy if any of that’s going on I know this yti or Molina and his passive aggressive Instagram posts aren’t going to put up with it again I don’t think it’s going to change anything right but will people be buzzing you better believe it when people show up you better believe it and I think the Cardinals could be in that mode now because going back to what I was talking about last year I think it’s all Theory but their actions so far have backed it up that they are concerned about both their short-term and long-term situation with this television deal and they cannot afford to have a season in which nobody is coming to Ballpark Village or to Bush Stadium and therefore whether it be after they get back from LA and I’m talking about the Angels next week if things go off the rails starting tonight in Milwaukee and things continue to go off the rails in Anaheim you got the Red Sox the Orioles and the Cubs big home stand best home stand of the year I would say if you’re a fan with those three teams coming in and maybe you go okay we’re going to have fans come in here no matter what because we got the Red Sox and Cubs on weekends and you got the Orioles during the week and you don’t get to see them much and they got young exciting offensive players so we’ll let them have this home stand or or do they go okay that’s enough we’re going to make sure that we don’t waste this homest stand and we’re going to pack this Ballpark and number four is the manager Jackson there’s my theory what do you got are you still on Ant Edwards no I’ve moved on from that too my head just moves a mile a minute I thought in the off season when the extension was announced first I thought hilarious second it truly was it was it was right up there with signing that car when the offense is in Desperate needed more power and they sign that Carpenter hilarious either way I thought to myself I think the reaction of the fan base is going to be anger when in reality extending a manager for another year or two is just like a it’s just like a thing you do and you can whack them and it doesn’t really matter like college football coaches and extensions and such like like if drink Had a Bad season last year it wouldn’t have surprised me at all if he got whacked just like drf is still the ad well hello darkness my old friend wow kind of a higher pitch Simon and Garfunkle I got faith in L either way it’s a layered V Treet soft one I thought to myself they can still whack them if things go really poorly and looks like based on the schedule and I thought at the time the rotation but now it’s much more obvious it’s the offense that it could go poorly with the tough schedule they had at the beginning of the Season we have now reached that consensus it seems like things are not going well and if they continue to not go well yeah I could totally see them getting rid of marmol who they replace him with I think uh if you were putting out odds I think a lot of people would be like plus 500 but I think yadii would be like plus 150 you oh so you agree with I think he’ be the favorite I think he’d be the favorite I think that they might want somebody who’s a little less impactful that’s the I think before it’s like we got to give marol an extension cuz we’re scared of yachty like lurking like the man in Black you know and himman Roth like he’s going to take over right like you know he walks into a cardinal board meeting and goes Bill I’m going to need you to move from the head of the table and he’ll go okay I don’t understand it but for whatever reason I am going to move right you know like you kind of now it’s kind of like what else are we going to do I mean do Scalzo isn’t going to be the guy yeah 33 now Willie maybe but I can I hope right I just that Legacy to me as a child of the80s it just needs to remain Perfect yachty part of his legacy is not being the you know shy head down I mean it’s just being bat crap yeah like Aaron Boone at this point just gets tossed from games even when fans are yelling things so good uh I mean it would be Insanity the pregame attempt to converse and I’m not talking about because of language so don’t go with that I’m talking about he just didn’t interested in it man the post games so good I mean if they lose and somebody like Calvin May goes well pretty good start by Lance you you kidding me man I mean it’s just it would be it would be and then when if a man if an Umpire makes a I mean he will be out there the Cardinals will be throwing inside on hitters left and right it’ll be Insanity it he get my ass down there with my family I’ll tell you that now do I think it’s going to work no but that’s the direction I think it’s going because I think they’re in desperation mode I don’t think it’s necessarily right because as I said I don’t blame Ali maral but I think that if they go oh my God this is worse than we thought it was going to be people are either angry or apathetic the UFL is nearly outdrawing us on a perfect Saturday afternoon in May with great weather and they got to go into that warehouse that was a football stadium and and we’re getting outd drawn they’re bringing in 32,000 yeah we got a problem we got to do something here because the television Revenue Situation’s a mess do you want to do it oh my God yeah I guess we got to do it and just recognize here we go I mean you’re talking about the it’s like the the we’ve had a lot of monarchy talk lately yeah y it’s like princess die yeah it’s like you’re bringing in this whole new life to something that has been stayed and conservative and buy the book because it has worked the Cardinal way but the Cardinal way now is in disarray that is my reasoning your thoughts Air Comfort Service text line 314 39996 46 the YouTube chat is welcome and active this is balloon party 101 ESPN e e e e e e e e this is Action Jackson with a sports center update brought to you by celga Heating and

Tim mcer and Jackson briquette with you the program is called balloon party and we welcome you to participate in said program which is driven by mungan St Louis Acura M as burkard Alton Toyota podcasted if you miss it dobs TI and auto center podcast uh 314 39996 46 save it in your phone and and become a friend of the feather Hello friends that was so powerful I thought so and the YouTube chat is active as the day is long more and more people getting in there and talking it over with John Long hey hey John uh who says ban iPads from The Dugout in clubhouse and then Hannah Elise oh hi Hannah says I would like to see Ali removed immediately however I think and you tell me how to pronounce it again Kim Bloom am I doing it right you can just say him you you felt like that was like I was like doing John Miller and a giant no you can it would be pronounced K but you can say like he it probably goes by you could tell I’m like Irish Catholic when I did that no both are acceptable Kim or Heim all right I think himim Bloon perfect thank you should take Mo spot now and he would then hire a manager of his choice MMR that’s from Hannah Elise MMR I’m familiar with the MMF MMR though MMR I don’t know what that means Maro is that like uh like if marmol was in airport would he be MMR Hannah at least we’re gon to need you to follow up in the YouTube chat and then another lady wow Juliet Jackson says please this team is like watching paint dry I guess she likes my yach or Molina Theory yeah yeah I mean listen you want to talk attendance Spike the quickest way you’re G to do that is outing marmo and putting in yachty there is no that is like the number one answer on Family Feud that is going to get the most votes it gets me going I can tell you that yeah man 100% there’s and it might get to a point where that’s like kind of the only move you can do I just don’t know what else they can do right like you can’t make Goldie arado Gorman Walker start to hit bombs you can’t really get rid of mos loock you certainly can’t get rid of dwit what you can control even though you extended them and you have to pay a couple extra million dollars they got it you know is getting rid of marmol do the fans not realize Bloom traded m bets for nothing vomit yeah from the 217 that is a that is a a bad that’s a demerit on his P permanent record yeah I would imagine he doesn’t have a whole lot of equity inway Park yeah that’s that’s a really bad one because you can look I mean where the Red Sox have gone since that move where the doctors have gone since that move where mooki has gone since that move not to mention the coolest basball player playing right now mookie bets is by far is that right him Jazz chism’s really cool yeah but I think Jackson’s doing his Mount Rushmore of cool baseball players here on balloon party what else do we have we got two we’ve got our George Washington and I guess Abraham Lincoln now we’re going Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt the old Rough Riders our friends I think and I know it’s by because I love doing his on the Cardinals Joe Kelly is really cool I think I like that play I really think Joe Kelly is super cool and then the last one man that’s tough um woo really cool w SoDo gentleman grabs himself when a ball hits the dirt he’s yeah Akuna is really cool too aunia I should say Bryce Harper’s cool I like Bryce Harper yeah Bryce Harper’s cool kind of really bothered me in 2019 yeah yeah but I loved when you out of your Molina hit the sack fly to win game four and then ran toward him and did the throat slash gesture like I love that crap I for whatever reason love that and I was in the stands and I could see the view of Co and yeah ni that was a great game that was that was an awesome game for whatever reason last night I went down a rabbit hole of yachty videos oh you’re you’re feeling my projection appro of nothing but it seems like maybe it was serendipitous but it was like Angry moments and when he would get fired up like when he got in the face of Cory lll yeah uh Adrien Gonzalez well there’s a lot to choose from when he got in the face of Adrien Gonzalez that was just like he Brandon Phillips 2010 oh the great well yeah that unfortunately that Tony and Dusty bear firing fingers at each other so funny I mean he is unlike anything else yeah man and his arm was so oh my God the way he would just throw from his knees and throw a perfect bullet right on top of the bag I don’t I mean in a way I admire like if you think about the great like the greats greats greats of their respective Sports and who are the greatest greatest of let’s go with the last 30 years I’m thinking of three I’m thinking of three Sports so it probably will be able to because I don’t know if there’s one in baseball that you go yeah of course him bonds might actually be that but there’s obviously I’m going I’m going yeah okay see you can do it Brady braon no Brady Jordan yeah okay yeah 30 years Brady Jordan Crosby no I because there’s no way I would ask you a question where I’m looking for a real hockey answer BR Brady Jordan BR and uh eldri oh great call yeah totally 100% obsessed yeah with winning Kobe being yeah Kobe’s a great play too and as I’ve often said it’s probably not the most Pleasant way to go through life it’s probably not real Pleasant for their significant others um you know I I I and that’s just because you got divorc means it must not be but I mean I guess in all all three cases but if you’re obsessed with that that’s everything to you like Jordan now has the outlet and all he does is play 36 holes a day it Grove 23 down and and own teams and he didn’t and he didn’t and own teams and he doesn’t didn’t really NE he didn’t care because the money doesn’t matter you can lose a million dollar a going to matter uh it’s he’s got to beat you you know and now Brady’s got his he’s trying to buy a piece of the Raiders you know he wanted to feel the spotlight on Sunday night with the roast which I completed last night and it truly was did you watch that whole thing not the whole thing it’s really damn good the parts I’ve seen of it are at stand there I also need a little quick out and then I’ll get back on track maybe I don’t know I’ll snort a line of riddle in here in a second uh I’ve been shorting the Brady broadcast thing I never thought he was going to do it number one now my play is I don’t think he’s going to be any good after seeing the way he uh responded at the end of the roast I’m thinking now he was able to work blue right but I kind of thought oh maybe maybe he will maybe he will be able to have a nice thing going once he starts working uh in the booth here in a few months but anyway obsessed with competing they need the sweat so if you’re talking talk about tiger he’s still out there and the man can barely walk you’re talking about uh Jordan oning teams playing golf gambling just cuz he needs the outlet Brady he’s got all kinds of things going on I mean he obviously doesn’t need to be traveling around the country to call football games I realize the 300 plus million makes it worth the while point being there’s Obsession there how does it TI what we were talking about yach or Molina for my money and this is and I realize he’s I think he’s beloved I don’t know what all the re I was kind of a little confused his like I I got the Willie McGee thing maybe just because McGee is associated with like Azie with that era of the 80s Cardinals but also the manner with which he carried himself sure yti associated with that run even though the Run began before he was here the Run began in 2000 but he was a part of it starting in 2004 and and the main guy starting in 2005 and and the the competitive just intensity right which is certainly different than Willie McGee not to say one wanted to win more than the other but they’re obviously two different personalities and what would you say about the Cardinals right now it just it’s just so blah you got that guy as the face it’s going to get people going and for the I want to keep hammering this home I don’t necessarily think it’s the right move I don’t go you get maral out of there things are going to turn around I don’t believe that but they have such a major issue and if the business were stable I think they’d run with maral and I’m not saying the business is on the verge of collapse or something like that but my theory is they have some concerns and again they’re fine they going to be able to pay off the houses it’s but if you have an investment in Ballpark Village and you have Bush Stadium and if you are going to be going to the public at some point in the near future for public funds and you’ve got this thing trending in the direction that it’s trending with the lack of asses in the seats you’ve got a real problem and so this ownership group that has never had to do anything really outlandish oh may have to get out of their comfort zone and go we got to blow it up and we got to do something that is certainly uncomfortable but we got to do it Y and that’s the only move that I see being realistic and that speaks to the incarcerated Bob tweet that got this whole thing going that Ali marol has two to three weeks to get it right or else he is going to be gone that’s where the impetus for this discussion was that is on the Twitter tweets Jackson calls it X I do yeah do you really team Elan that’s right forgot about that uh your thoughts are welcome 314 39996 46 Air Comfort Service text line YouTube chat the uh cameras on the YouTube chat brought to you by air Alliance team this is balloon party 101 ESPN e e e e e e e e e well a lot of talk Jackson today about this yotti or Molina Theory some people say what about Albert pools he’s got the deal with the angels right the personal service contract I think there’d be ways out of that sure I’m sure there are uh I know you’re negotiating for your release from balloon party or I’m negotiating for it either way I guess Quinn Snyder might be on the hot sea in Atlanta oh is that right no he’ll be all right I have to make a decision about Trey young this offseason so Quin Snider come in here and replace you or you’d go to Atlanta to replace Quinn I thought Quinn would replace Holly nice uh and then also other people just kind of have nonsecular conversations anyone watched the David Beckham special on Netflix we C thought it was interesting and Posh is easy on the eyes that’s from Danny Jansen in there and he was part of that rebok commercial was at Dan O’Brien um Doug I don’t know on that one did you ever see uh David Beckham and Posh on the Ali G show with Sasha baric Cohen I love the Al G show is that I don’t know if I recall that was was he in Ali G character was he in Borat character he was an Al G character Bruno character he was like it was Ali G in front of the live studio audience interviewing Posh and David Beckham is that right it’s amazing it is amazing really that’s my kind of thing I mean Prime Time Glick between two firms and Ali G Borat Bruno That’s my kind of thing incredible yeah I would highly Rec ivin May might be doing the same thing but I can’t tell for certain right up there yeah I highly recommend going on YouTube and searching that up really funny all right that’s what I’ll do today uh marshy stash has an avatar in the YouTube chat and it’s a little mustach and he just typed in Ivon Herrera Ivan Ivonne yeah I I actually have a question about that on him because I was saying Ivonne and then you said Ivan yesterday I go oh have Ian wrong oh no I’m just I I you’re still focused on an Edwards sometimes my brain feels like loose gravel yeah potting soil either way I I my question on yvon Herrera today something about like they’re now goingon to have to play I know this the one person at text line is really upset about how I pronounce Pedro pasas I think I’m pronouncing it right I’m sorry if I’m not no there’s a lot of anger in the text line in general yeah I’m 100% POS on H Bloom but but uh either way Ian Herrera Ivonne watch me suckle this water on the YouTube chat I want to give people something to incentivize and watch because I spilled it earlier when Jackson did the Nuggets thought when I say he’s a bad defensive catcher he has started 16 games behind the play PL and there have been 17 stolen bases he has caught stealing zero of them he also has eight wild pitches while he’s there so you’re going to have to play both Herrera and posos pretty much every day if you’re planning on stopping runs from going but that’s I can see Molina going all right that’s enough I’m back and I don’t know what the protocol is but I’m putting on the gear player manager tools of ignorance I’m going out there that’d be great oh my God that place would be up for snatch grabs it would be like a rolling game yeah a Rolling Stones reunion tour John scores I’m calling it Cardinals are going to win three or four in Milwaukee that’d be great that would be great they they fared well against them the last time they played them uh let’s see Mo doesn’t make it to the end of the year Bloom will be in charge then the Domino start to fall I bet you any of my own money that’s not going to happen wow all right Jackson and you and the 314 are going to have to negotiate this one John Mo yeah John Mok will stop being the president of baseball operations when his contract is up that’s that’s what I think I would agree with you but I mean I don’t know if I’m betting any amount of money on it but here you are in the 314 it looks like it uh did PS watch the Panthers versus Bruins last night in parenthesis NHL absolutely not I watched the entirety of the Pacers and Knicks and it was an outstanding basketball game and I have no regrets No Regrets We are Matthew kachuck and pasta sure what about the Villanova 3 Hart Divan chenzo and Brunson I do know about the Villanova 3 it’s awesome it’s great to it’s great entertainment I enjoy it Reggie Miller back of the garden it’s been great and they were chanting Fu Reggie you better believe it Spike was right next to him so we’re going to have the Knicks and Celtics oh my God
