So I'm mad. But you 404 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 4: remember in two thousand and four, so when when I 405 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: was with the Twins, the White Sox and the Twins, 406 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 4: they hated each other. We would talk, they would talk 407 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 4: a lot of trash, and we would kick their ass. Right, 408 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: so they would talk trash and we'd kick their ass. 409 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 4: So then in two thousand and four, you ran over 410 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 4: Jamie Burke for no reasons. You were dirty as hell, 411 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 4: ran him over. Now you know that if you would 412 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 4: have tried that junk the next year when I was there, 413 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 4: it would have been you in the hospital and not 414 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 4: Jamie Burke.

The just think 415 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 4: if you would have just waited a year, how your 416 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: whole life would You would have no goat gloves, no 417 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 4: silver bats, you would add nothing, and I'd be buying 418 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 4: you tender smokehouse. 419 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: Hey, j man, you know what if that was you, 420 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: I would have put a little extra umph on it 421 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: just to put you to sleep. 422 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: And then I when I came to the hospital and 423 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 3: brought you some chocolates. 424 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: Man. 425 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 3: You know what Jamie Burke man, and I heard he 426 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 3: was a nice guy. 427 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: But you know all the trash talk, the White Sox 428 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: dead man in the media to us, they hit us, 429 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: they threw behind us, they did everything possible to try 430 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: to shake us up that those years prior to and 431 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: and in that situation, I saw where Jamie Burke was 432 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: standing there and I saw the ball coming. He was 433 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: standing there like as if the ball wasn't coming to 434 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: trip me up.
