The Meck Radio Show - Tony Gwynn Interview. 01/10/07
www.TheMeck.com Posted 2:09a ct. Show Time: 27 Mins.
Meck Notes:
A visit with Tony Gwynn - Summer of 1993 in St. Louis.
This interview defines his success. [Then and Now ] A must listen.
Tony gives much of the credit to his wife, Alicia.
Javy Lopez signs today with the Colorado Rockies.[ to be their catcher]
Good move by Javy to get back in the Nat'l League. Plus hit at Coors Field.
Tough on catchers - Longer games. More runs scored.
Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn gets 97.6% of the votes on his first ballot for Baseball's Hall of Fame.
A lifetime .338 avg -- 18 consec. seasons hitting over .300 -- 15-time All-Star.
Only 434 Strike-Outs in 20 years. Amazing. 8-Time Batting Champion.-- Over 3, 000 Hits.
I will always remember the days hanging with Tim Teufel, Craig Lefferts and Kevin Ward w/ the Padres.
Wonderful memories. I got to shag for Tony Gwynn at Shea Stadium [ All you do is stand still in Left Field.]
Plus Busch Stadium. Never forget the day he rode to the yard with me in Atlanta.
Tony liked to take early hitting at 2:30p.
If the greatest hitter in baseball needed to practice. Everbody needs to practice.
--
Tony Gwynn has the gift of Greatness - 'The ability to make those around him feel great.'
He always has time for people. Including an interview.
1993 Interv - St. Louis [ Meck Rewind]
Tony talks about his friend and teammate Kevin Ward.
'My day-to-day routine hasn't changed in 12 years.'
'Just because I wear this ML uniform doesn't mean I'm better than anybody else.'
'What I do isn't flamboyant. It's a day-to-day grind. 162 games schedule. I have fun doing what I do.' - TG
--
I met Tony's wife, Alicia, sitting by Val Teufel. She really blessed me.
He talks about his love for his family.
'There's nothing in the world more important to me than my family.' - TG
'She [ Alicia] has been a big influence in my life and baseball.' - TG
'There were times I thought about giving it up and doing something else.
She had faith. Believed that If I worked hard, I'd be successful. If I applied myself.' - TG
'Without her words of encouragement, I don't think I would have gotten to this point.' -TG
'You can ask anybody in the organization if I would have been as successful as I have without her.' -TG
'She's my hitting coach. She's my wife and she's the mother of my children and
very important part of my life.' - Tony Gwynn
'One thing she preaches. Those days you go 0 - 4 ..
Be Thankful you have the opportunity to go 0 - 4.'
'Just getting the opportunity is the important thing. ' - Tony Gwynn
--
No Doubt. Tony Gwynn was already in the Real Hall of Fame back in 1993.
Where The Score Lasts Forever. Everlasting Fame and Fortune.
His priorites, in the correct order, have defined his success.

The Meck Radio Show w/ Bob Nightengale - USA TODAY Baseball Writer. 01/09/07
www.TheMeck.com Posted 3:22a ct. Show Time: 32 Mins.
Meck Notes:
A visit with my friend Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY re his MLB Hall Of Fame Ballot.
The inductees will be named today.
I first met Bob in the early 90's. He was writing for the LA Times.[covering the San Diego Padres]
His thoughts on Tony Gwynn:
'A Wonderful Guy. The Dale Murphy of The West'. 'A Fabulous hitter. '
'Down to earth. He would treat a Jr. High reporter the same as one from CBS.'- Bob Nightengale
--
Your MLB Hall of Fame Ballot ?
'Gwynn, Ripken [In for sure].'
'Goose Gossage [closer than people think].'
'Jim Rice.'
'Jack Morris - Possibly the Greatest Postseason pitching performance of all-time.'
'10 shutout innings over the Braves in '91 World Series.'
'Bert Blyleven.' - BN
--
We talk about Cal Ripken's streak [ 1982 - 1995] 2131 consec games played.
Bob tells a funny story.. Cal says 2 years before the streak ended ..
His wife is about to give birth to their son.
The media is saying, Cal can't miss a game to break the streak.
He explains it to his wife: You wouldn't want our son to carry that label with him,
for breaking the streak .. Would you ? She bought it, Cal said. - BN
'I can see a group buying the Orioles one day and making Cal the President.' - BN
--
'Gwynn was an All-Wac Point Guard at San Diego State, drafted by the San Diego Clippers.' - BN
On Mark McGuire:' Even if this guy was clean - He wasn't a slam dunk for the H of Fame[first ballot].'
One dimmensional. A lot of bad years. He wasn't consistent. - BN
'Bonds was a Hall of Famer before the suspicions.' - BN
'I don't think it's a slam dunk he'll break Henry's record.[ this year]' - Bob Nightengale
--
Why is it that the Braves don't seem to have any money? [ when most other teams do]
' [With their payroll staying at 80 million] They've got a ton of money.'
'With the TV and everything else, they're making a killing.' - BN
Re the Braves sale - Time Warner/Liberty Media negotiations reportedly deadlocked.
Bob discusses his thoughts on whether the deal will go thru.
'I'd certainly rather have the Braves than the Cubs.' 'The Braves are a great franchise.' - BN
[ If the current negotiations with Liberty fall through]
Do you think Donald Watkins could enter the picture as a candidate to buy the Braves?
'He could. With the price of ethanol going up. [and his assets]' - BN
Do you think Donald will own a team and be the first black owner ?
'As long as he doesn't get discouraged [with the process]. Donald's been a success.'
'He would be great for the game, with his personality and itelligence.' - BN
'It would be a cinderella story. Grew up in the same church with Dr. King.' [as his pastor]
'I'd probably move down to Atlanta myself and work out of there.'
'I know I could get some good hot dogs in his booth/box.' - Bob Nightengale.
--
Your guess at the vote totals [ today] for the H of Fame - Gwynn and Ripken.
'Ripken, at least 98%. More than Tom Seaver.'
'Gwynn, at 99%. Within 2 or 3 votes of being unanimous.' - BN
Has anyone ever been unanimous ?
'Never' [ in Baseball History]. BN
-
Update on Jimbo Saga.
What made Jimbo Fisher stop waflling on Bobby Bowden and honor his commitment ?
Saturday nite, FSU withdrew their offer to Jimbo [ tired of being played like a piano.]
Sunday morning .. Jimbo and/or his agent Jimmy Sexton called Bobby Bowden.
They wanted to talk and Bobby must have listened and Monday a deal was done. Finally.
A Burning Bridge was doused by a forgiving 78-year-old friend and legend.
A longtime family friendship saved and a coaching career rescued.
It never pays to disrespect anyone, much less a 78-year-old. Plus a Coaching Legend.
--
Thanks to my friend Bob Nightengale for his insight on today's Hall of Fame vote.
Plus his thoughts on Gwynn, Ripken, the Braves, and Business Icon Donald Watkins.
Be sure and listen to Bob Nightengale on today's show. [ link below]

The Meck Radio Show w/ Bob Nightengale - USA TODAY Baseball Writer. 01/09/07
www.TheMeck.com Posted 3:22a ct. Show Time: 32 Mins.
Meck Notes:
A visit with my friend Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY re his MLB Hall Of Fame Ballot.
The inductees will be named today.
I first met Bob in the early 90's. He was writing for the LA Times.[covering the San Diego Padres]
His thoughts on Tony Gwynn:
'A Wonderful Guy. The Dale Murphy of The West'. 'A Fabulous hitter. '
'Down to earth. He would treat a Jr. High reporter the same as one from CBS.'- Bob Nightengale
--
Your MLB Hall of Fame Ballot ?
'Gwynn, Ripken [In for sure].'
'Goose Gossage [closer than people think].'
'Jim Rice.'
'Jack Morris - Possibly the Greatest Postseason pitching performance of all-time.'
'10 shutout innings over the Braves in '91 World Series.'
'Bert Blyleven.' - BN
--
We talk about Cal Ripken's streak [ 1982 - 1995] 2131 consec games played.
Bob tells a funny story.. Cal says 2 years before the streak ended ..
His wife is about to give birth to their son.
The media is saying, Cal can't miss a game to break the streak.
He explains it to his wife: You wouldn't want our son to carry that label with him,
for breaking the streak .. Would you ? She bought it, Cal said. - BN
'I can see a group buying the Orioles one day and making Cal the President.' - BN
--
'Gwynn was an All-Wac Point Guard at San Diego State, drafted by the San Diego Clippers.' - BN
On Mark McGuire:' Even if this guy was clean - He wasn't a slam dunk for the H of Fame[first ballot].'
One dimmensional. A lot of bad years. He wasn't consistent. - BN
'Bonds was a Hall of Famer before the suspicions.' - BN
'I don't think it's a slam dunk he'll break Henry's record.[ this year]' - Bob Nightengale
--
Why is it that the Braves don't seem to have any money? [ when most other teams do]
' [With their payroll staying at 80 million] They've got a ton of money.'
'With the TV and everything else, they're making a killing.' - BN
Re the Braves sale - Time Warner/Liberty Media negotiations reportedly deadlocked.
Bob discusses his thoughts on whether the deal will go thru.
'I'd certainly rather have the Braves than the Cubs.' 'The Braves are a great franchise.' - BN
[ If the current negotiations with Liberty fall through]
Do you think Donald Watkins could enter the picture as a candidate to buy the Braves?
'He could. With the price of ethanol going up. [and his assets]' - BN
Do you think Donald will own a team and be the first black owner ?
'As long as he doesn't get discouraged [with the process]. Donald's been a success.'
'He would be great for the game, with his personality and itelligence.' - BN
'It would be a cinderella story. Grew up in the same church with Dr. King.' [as his pastor]
'I'd probably move down to Atlanta myself and work out of there.'
'I know I could get some good hot dogs in his booth/box.' - Bob Nightengale.
--
Your guess at the vote totals [ today] for the H of Fame - Gwynn and Ripken.
'Ripken, at least 98%. More than Tom Seaver.'
'Gwynn, at 99%. Within 2 or 3 votes of being unanimous.' - BN
Has anyone ever been unanimous ?
'Never' [ in Baseball History]. BN
-
Update on Jimbo Saga.
What made Jimbo Fisher stop waflling on Bobby Bowden and honor his commitment ?
Saturday nite, FSU withdrew their offer to Jimbo [ tired of being played like a piano.]
Sunday morning .. Jimbo and/or his agent Jimmy Sexton called Bobby Bowden.
They wanted to talk and Bobby must have listened and Monday a deal was done. Finally.
A Burning Bridge was doused by a forgiving 78-year-old friend and legend.
A longtime family friendship saved and a coaching career rescued.
It never pays to disrespect anyone, much less a 78-year-old. Plus a Coaching Legend.
--
Thanks to my friend Bob Nightengale for his insight on today's Hall of Fame vote.
Plus his thoughts on Gwynn, Ripken, the Braves, and Business Icon Donald Watkins.

The Meck Radio Show - w/ Jay Kearce re Bobby Bowden - Kevin Steele - Jimbo Fisher. 01/05/07
www.TheMeck.com Posted 3:32a.ct. Show Time: 37 Mins.
Meck Notes: Is Jimbo Fisher waffling on Coach Bowden ? [ read below]
OPEN - A visit with my longtime friend, producer and engineeer - David Strickland.
We discuss Nick Saban's Press Conf. at Bama. [ The WOW Factor]
Our thoughts and prayers for our wonderful friend and brother in Radio - Dave Gilligan.
He's in the hospital. We pray he makes a complete recovery .. very soon.
--
[Interv. Jan. 4 - 8p] Meck visits with his family friend, Jay Kearce - The Birdman in Dallas, Tex.
Jay [ Mr. Seminole] is a Florida State alumn and plugged into the FSU pulse.
He talks about his friendship w/ Bobby Bowden and how he helped Coach Bowden with recruits.
'Other than my father, Coach Bowden has been the most influential man in my life.' - Jay Kearce
' I've learned a lot of life lessons from him.' - JK
--
Jay talks about Kevin Steele .. the FSU Executive Head Coach/Linebackers Coach who just joined Coach Saban's staff as Bama's Def. Coordinator.
' It's a big loss for FSU. A big win for Bama.' - JK
'In 2005 - Rivals.com had Kevin Steele as the Number 1 recruiter in the nation.' - JK
'Kevin is as tough as the next guy but he'll pat you on the back and tell you he loves you.'
'He's a fine, fine gentleman. A great football coach and communicator.' - JK
'If Bobby had retired yesterday .. Kevin Steele would have been the next head coach at FSU.' - Jay Kearce
'When Nick Saban took the Dolphins job 2 years ago ..
He offered Kevin Steele a position on his staff and he turned him down.' - JK
--
Jay and The Meck talk about the report Thurs. afternoon [ Jan. 4]on Warchant.com that LSU Offensive Coordinator Jimbo Fisher had agreed to come to Tallahassee.
'Jimbo has a longstanding relationship with the Bowden family.' - JK
[ on staff with Terry at Samford and Auburn]
'Terry Bowden is a key component to this working out.' - JK
Jay says .. 'The whole Jimbo to FSU deal [ in essence] has been done for about 10 days.'
'I know that Nick has already contacted Jimbo about a job at Bama.' - JK
'Once Alabama gets back in the top 5 or 10 .. Kevin Steele will be ready to go.' [Head Coaching Job] - JK
--
11:15p [Jan 4] Jay calls Meck back and says Warchant. com is reporting that Alabama has upped the ante to Jimbo Fisher and he could be waffling on his commitment to Bobby.
According to Warchant.com - Jay says [ this morning Jan. 4] Jimbo called Coach Bowden and said He would be coming to FSU. And he called Coach Saban and told him he wasn't coming to Bama.
Tonite .. Jay is reading Warchant.com to me on the show.
Saban has called Jimbo back tonite [ Jan 4] and sweetened the pot.
[700 thousand to 1 Million - Per Year.]
Depends on what Alabama source you speak with.
Birdman says the FSU/Jimbo offer is about 500 thousand a year.
'Our highest paid asst. is Mickey Andrews at 285 thousand a year.'[ package] - Jay Kearce.
--
So .. What will Jimbo Fisher do ?
It's baffled FSU's credible and legit website - Warchant. com.
Even Jay Kearce - The Birdman.
Final Meck thoughts ..
How much is a longtime friendship worth ? How much is a commitment worth ?
How many people are left on earth who cannot be bought at any price ?
Can you imagine what Terry Bowden's phone call sounded like to Jimbo Fisher tonite.?
It's hard to believe that any amount .. [much less a couple hundred thousand] could ever be enough to justify a Burned Bridge.
If Jimbo doesn't come to his senses soon, [not his centses], He'll run the biggest offensive play of his career.
No Doubt. FSU and Bobby Bowden are his best ticket to be a major college head coach.
Thanks Jay for your insight and scoop on Bobby, Kevin and the Jimbo saga.
This whole deal with Jimbo is hard to follow. [ Even for Christopher Columbus]
The Birdman/Jay Kearce does a great job explaining the chaos and the chase.
Be sure and listen to the interview.

THE MECK REPORT - Kevin Steele to join Saban at Bama. 01/04/07
www.TheMeck.com - posted Jan. 4, 2007 - 12:22p
THE MECK REPORT
Kevin Steele to join Saban at Bama
The Meck has learned that Kevin Steele, the current Executive Head Coach and
Linebackers Coach at Florida State, has accepted a position on the staff with Coach Saban at Alabama.
Steele, a 1981 Tennessee graduate, played for the Big Orange under Johnny Majors.
He won a Nat'l Champ. [1994] serving as Linebackers coach under Tom Osbourne at Nebraska.
He was the linebackers coach for the Carolina Pathers [95 - 99] and then became
head coach at Baylor. [ 1999 - 2002]
He has been on Bobby Bowden's staff since 2003.
Coach Steele is widely known for his outstanding recruiting and some believed
a possible successor to Coach Bowden.
--
Meck observation: With Steele leaving .. this makes perfect sense for Jimbo Fisher's future to become the FSU offensive coordinator and groomed to be the next FSU head coach.
Plus .. It's no secret of the longstanding friendship between Terry Bowden, Jimbo and the Bowden family.
Jimbo was a grad asst. for Terry back at Samford [ plus Offensive coordinator and Quarterbacks coach].
Plus Quarterbacks Coach for Terry Bowden in his undefeated season at Auburn.[1993]
Just an observation by The Meck.

T I M E spells L O V E
Written by Eddie Carswell and Michael O'Brien
Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...
Listen @ www.TheMeck.com
T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time
and your L O V E love
I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away

Meck Notes:
Meck visits with his friend .. Brother Johnny Fain.
A Preacher who rides a Harley. One Cool Dude 4 Sure.
The man who loves people 'Just As They Are.' Including many outside his church.
We talk about loneliness and depression over the holidays and how you can have Hope.
Especially this week with the high suicide rate - just after Christmas.
--
'Many are going thru a dark time during the glitter of the holidays.'
'It's real to those who are in the midst of it.' - Johnny Fain
Bro. Johnny talks about losing both his parents during the holiday season.
'It took me years to enjoy Christmas again.' - JF
' How do you come thru the reality of it all and escape darkness ?'
- 'What I think often controls the way I live. Your thought process turns inward.
You have thought yourself into that pattern.' - JF
- 'Loneliness is a state of mind.'
'We need to open our mind up and think on truth. What is real.'
'What God says about me. Wonderfully made. I'm OK. Not a Misfit.' - JF
- 'Thankful Where I am. What I have. Make a list. Be Thankful.
A spirit of Thankfulness enables me to receive events and heartaches.'
'Everything that comes into my life can help me.' - JF
--
'Loneliness means turning inward. Thankfulness means turning outward.' - JF
Meck recalls Dr. Jack Llewellyn [ famed sports psychologist] telling him ..
'Make a list. Put down your assets and liabilities. Get back with me.'
I always found the pluses are so much more than the minuses.
If I ever focus there. - Meck
'The more you think about something .. The Larger it becomes.
Keep it where it really is.' - JF
'Embrace them and walk through it .. to travel out of it.' - JF
Bro Johnny shares about a lady who committed suicide.
[ Told by a professional] 'Suicide is when a person can see themselves
in a room where there is no way out [ except that door.]' - JF
--
On reaching out.
'Love them. Don't preach to them or condemn. Spend time with them.
Pray for them. Let them know they're important.' - Johnny Fain.
'If you're lonely .. Make a list of Pros and Cons.
Be thankful. It's not as bad as you think it is.' - JF
'So important to include people into your world.'
'Start reaching out will help you get out of yourself.'
'Getting out there to help someone can help you.' - JF
Bro. Johnny talks about his love for alcoholics.
'Alcoholics are trying to cope just like anyone else on drugs.'
'After a while .. It grabs you.'
'My heart goes out to people who are trying to get their feet to the top of the wall.' - JF
'There's a power in God that can heal you and pull you thru.
Jesus said .. He came to deliver those in captivity.' - Johnny Fain
The Meck asked Bro. Johnny Fain to share today on our show
and to encourage others there is still hope. He did just that.
Thanks Bro. Johnny for your T I M E and reaching out to so many.

"Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please

Meck Notes: Open the show with my close friend - BIG JIM Kearce.
Big Jim was very touched by the Paul Finebaum Interv. [ 12/19/06.]
'I've been hearing Paul for sometime. Paul is very clever .. and tight when he needed to be.'
'Never suspected there was the other side you showed us [in the interview.] '
' He's talented and very bright. The other side .. very warm and compassionate.
He has great love and respect for his parents. '
'That's why I was fond of Elvis. His love and respect for his parents.
Paul has that same soft side. A big reason for Paul's success is the discipline
and the love that came from his mother and father.' - Big Jim Kearce

Thoughts on Eddie Carswell and The Christmas Shoes.
'Mr. Carswell is a phenominal writer. '
'His song Christmas Shoes talks about people who are hurting .. reaching out ..
and the joy of giving.' - Jim Kearce
This amazing song reminds us of a man who was so wrapped up in chasing the American dream - money. And how a little boy taught him about lasting fortune.
The man is standing in line on Christmas Eve - last minute shopping.
Also standing in line, is a little boy, buying some shoes for his dying Mama.
He gets to the cashier and doesn't have enough money for his Mama's shoes.
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.

The Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
Repeat Chorus

T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play

It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time

I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love

T I M E spells L O V E
Written by Eddie Carswell and Michael O'Brien
Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...
Listen @ www.TheMeck.com
T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time
and your L O V E love
I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away

www.TheMeck.com Posted 2:13a ct. Show Time: 27 Mins.
Meck Notes:
An interview with my friend Bob Nightengale - USA Today Baseball Writer.
Bob talks about the winter meetings in Orlando and the free agent spending for players who are not big-names.
' Big-Time Money for being mediocre free agents. Lot of GM's never seen anything like it.'
--
Meck ask Bob about the Braves letting Marcus Giles go and what's going to happen to Tim Hudson?
Everybody seems to have money except the Braves.
Why is it they are always in a crunch while everyone else has monopoly money for average players ??
' It doesn't make sense. Every club is making a killing these days.'
Bob talks about even Tampa Bay making $30 million and Minnesota's $70 million payroll.
[comparing it to the Braves $80 mil payroll.]
Plus Oakland having money to spend on Piazza - 8 Million.]
--
Doesn't Schuerholz's [ the GM] stance re not giving Players a no-trade clause hurt the Braves .. ?
Meck note: The word was John Schuerholz was planning on retiring about 4 years ago.
Turner was bought by Time Warner .. the stock fell from the mid 50's to the teens.
[ hurting everyone's retirement]
Is Schuerholz hanging on and riding his tenure into the sunset [with his non-aggressive approach] ?
Can you believe the Braves didn't even make Tom Glavine an offer ?
--
' 80 million was a nice payroll 3 or 4 years ago. Today .. it's middle of the pack or lower.'
'The Mets Payroll is 120 million. The 1st time ever the Braves payroll is 40 million less.' - Bob Nightengale
--
What have you heard about Javy Lopez and his future ?
'Piazza just signed for 8.5 million. I can't believe that Javy is worth that much less than Piazza.'
Tell us about the Japanese player [ Matsuzaka] and the negotiations with the Red Sox
[ 100 million.]
Where will Barry Zito end up ??
Rocket - Man Roger Clemens .. ?
Bob shares with us his Hall of Fame Ballot .. Tony Gwynn .. Cal Ripken .. ?
Meck and Bob talk about the one and only Tony Gwynn.
Thanks Bob for your T I M E and insight on The Meck Radio Show.

Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...
Listen - www.TheMeck.com
T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time

So what will you do
With your T I M E Time

You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away

T I M E spells L O V E
Written by Eddie Carswell and Michael O'Brien
Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...
Listen @ www.TheMeck.com
T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time
and your L O V E love
I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away
