They've got a very good team with some outstanding hitters.

So, it's good.

Baseball is, you know.

Arrow pointed up right now in terms of local baseball and some of the products it's produced.

But the Brewers, here they are, five wins, one loss at top of the division.

But I still don't think they're going to be the team at the end.

I think it's still going to be the Cubs based on talent.

Everyone else.

When do you look at standings and decide, okay, now we know who's separating from whom?

To me, it's always been early in July.

I want to know by July where you are in the standings and whether or not you have the ability to –

you know, finishing the deal.

That was remarkable.

That's kind of how I do it.

Even a little bit before the All-Star break and when you see what teams are, they kind of reveal themselves over the first couple of months of the season.

Out West, you have the Dodgers doing what they do.

They keep winning, and they're going to keep winning no matter what.

I wonder if the Pirates would ever employ a deferred payment plan like the Dodgers specifically have done with some of their big-time players.

Now, many of the owners I've seen have complained that the Dodgers have circumvented rules by doing it.

I look at it as, okay, we got away with it.
