Uh the White Sox currently hold down the uh third and final spot.
They're eighty and seventy six. The Jays are seventy seven and seventy nine, three out. The Houston Astros are seventy seven to seventy nine, three out, Baltimore's seventy five and eighty one.

I mean the Jays i we agree, I think, that the Jays best run of baseball this year was when Vladdy wasn't in the lineup. Whatever that says. And uh Anyhow, they won seven two yesterday against Texas. They're two under. Well, you disagree with me about this? I'm too negative? I'll start the
show again. Yeah, I don't even know how to follow up how you started the show. I'll start the show. Yeah, you need help

there before the show and you're going on about how we're going three to four next week and uh that's because our ball Next week and uh that's because our boss's over. That's cause
our boss came to us and said Monday you're starting three to four 'cause the hockey's starting. You're better than that. That's why. You're better than that.
