We. However what I'm -- Sparage I'm pleased we're joined by National League Cy Young award winner Roy Halladay and -- let's first talk about the big offseason move. The Phillies already have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball would you wore it -- Walton Cole Hamels and now Cliff Lee is back in Philadelphia. We surprised that -- decide to rejoin the Phillies.

You know I wasn't. Parker bunch of guys who played with them. A year ago and you know everything I've heard -- you love playing there you wanted to come back. And it was just a matter try to get a coach last tour they gave an option. And obviously. You know drill bit they'll play with them and I think everybody else -- ministers so. You know I was news definitely. Glad they got it done but I wouldn't -- I was -- shocked -- you know I've heard some great things that you know you're really wanted to be there.

Obviously things worked out for him a lot of talk about this being the best starting rotation in baseball history. Do you see at the white.

Well you know I think that's what those things -- you evaluated him here I think the possibility is definitely there. You know at -- the big -- go about doing it. You know that's what's gonna make it tough so I think there's definitely a lot of talent if we do what we're supposed to do. Then I think the possibility is there. But just to Billick tried you know to be their decision not -- there's too difficult there are many good. -- patient out there are so hopefully it'll be here we came venture out.

I actual -- off -- that for the time being but with such a great pitching staff people already putting the Phillies. In the World Series does that add extra pressure on you guys.

But don't think so I think that's what we expect of the things. You know last hero I think. Drove landless. Not the way we wanted to finish I don't think anybody was satisfied with. -- You know I think our goal is to get to a World Series I think you know -- be as -- as far as anybody if we don't achieve petrol. You know -- field goal -- series you play the game. And you know obvious fit to -- at times -- field but that's. You know whatever result.

Well let me ask you this -- last season and not only pitched a perfect game. You also threw a no hitter in the playoffs would you trade those accomplishments for a World Series ring.

Absolutely -- I don't think -- have to think about it you know it's that's serious second the Philadelphia was. You know there's there's one thing I really don't wanna accomplish form -- play and that would be. -- a World Series so. You know that's a reason and I'm very that's what keeps you motivated. And I would I would absolutely. Trade that in for that.

It's all about the ring -- Major League Baseball is thinking about adding more wild card teams and expanding the playoffs. Would you be in favor of this.

Paul I would definitely be okay -- you know seven games all throughout the playoffs. You know I think it just makes it. A little more even a little more. Normal. But as far as wild -- I don't know I don't know how that would play out. You know I think there are definitely certain divisions. You know especially AL east where you know you have -- Tour three of the better teams in baseball. And you know maybe water Jewish it's gonna make it out of ourselves. You know I think there's definitely changed each year that are probably just serving that. But it don't get a chance to go but. You know I think that's always part of the game and that's how the game was native. You know I've never thanks a huge fan of make contributed changes. You know through the game that's -- for so long and you know just try to keep their regular they'll.

So you're a purist I know you're in Florida right now shooting a commercial for two K sports. Tells about.

The -- and you know is definitely an honor for me my kids have -- video games I am so. I'll you know to be able to do something with two K sports -- tackle because they're doing in the perfect game giveaway that million dollars. Sort cut ties in. You know what looked last year.
