Talked to Walter the other day and, just before he putted in a 47-footer at St Andrews, he says he's fixed it with his pal Kid Krauss over at Kum & Go and the kid says, yeah, no, not his dad, the kid, the--- well he says it's a go and Kum & Go will buy the naming, huh?, no, he's not buying the stadium, and yes, there'll still be a statue of Ed, Huh? It's the naming rights he's buying, how much? $5 million. Yes, that is more than the mainten-- Huh? No, we can't do this every sea-, there're limitations...No, It's not Walter that's laying down the limitations, it's the league, the Hee-Bee GB's. Or the Constitution, or the Commish--Huh? Kum & Go Kourtyard, with a K. Huh? Yes, Kourtyard with a K. Yes, cariño, a k as in, as in Kernels. Well I know that is a bit strange, but that's--. Huh? Kum and Go? No, it has an ampersand just like in the logo, I said an ampersand, not, no I haven't seen Amber around, and yes I do miss her. Well, I don't know, no she didn't elope, she just took off and got hitched without telling any--, Look, it's an ampersand. Huh? The grass? Yes, I know the new grass this season didn't seem to help. yes, I know Parreno still got hurt, and Clayton out for months. Yes, I was here you know, all year. Have we found JR yet? No, he's still AWAL. What, OK, that's right OWAL, er, AWOL. Was there competition? Do you mean did Walter field any--? No, Walter isn't gonna play this-- yes, we know Gongora's a weak... Look! He hit .204. Pedro did. That's right, Pedro hit two-oh-four. Are we gonna re-name the Gongora Line, oh you said redefine the Gongora, No, no, he's on his way to the D Lab. Who else? Well we haven't decided. Ok, sugarreens, I gotta go. Tengo que irme. O, I know, OK, tesoro, is that better? Huh Mi Cariño? Yes, yes, my love. Yes, it's Kum & Go Kourtyard. That's right, with a K, yes, and with an ampersand too. Yes, that's right, cariño, with a tilde. Huh? Did I vote for who?! Oh, you mean Pedro. Well, we'll have to see about that.
