Whoever thought of that campaign for Scottie Pippen is brilliant.

And I don't know if our guy Roy was in charge of that or not, but that is a brilliant.

If you guys have not seen the Scottie Pippen, Mr. Pibb commercial, you need to check it out because it's like, oh, I see what you did there.

And I don't think Pete's going to be that way.

I don't have any questions about that part of it.

Yeah, I don't know if he'll get to that place.

I don't either.

But I know that he won't stop trying.

And that's like, you can tell, like, even the anecdotes, even the stuff that I learned where, like,

In December, he's in the cage at Wrigley.

He wasn't out in L.A.

Not that there's anything wrong with him being out in L.A., but the fact that he was here and he was taking hacks at Wrigley Field doing stuff.

I think there is a genuine desire for him to be great.

I do worry about what happens to him if he's not.

And that's like this season even.

I'm worried about if he's not as great as he thinks he can be, how does that impact him?

But I don't think that it'll impact him to the point where he stops trying to be great.

It's hard to have bust on the table when you're a gold glover.

I know that Ian Happ gets on base and he provides a little bit of pop, but if you think about it in terms of how much Ian makes per year, because with this pass extension, would Ian make $20 a year?

So let's say that Pete's around $20 to $23 a year on his deal.
