Welcome back doesn't tell -- report with -- our pal Jerry -- good morning Jerry how Mario and I do what impressed you most about the three game sweep of the California news news walks did you watch of course -- yeah that was I'm not sure okay in the game now we know that you watched what impressed you the most Jerry.
Well I the total dominance I think you know the back -- the -- in. It was incredible you know walk off home run by Manny yesterday Schilling. Reformists do a lot of things but the total dominance the Red Sox over pretty good team. And you know I don't they were shorthanded by a couple of guys but it would no matter the way the Red Sox played epic Mathieu would have -- their resolve began as a would have made a huge difference you know. So I you know just just be all around play of the Red Sox from pitching to -- heading to their defense to their bullpen I mean it totally dominated this.
You know jury for all the raised eyebrow holds their world around here is Manny took his time to get back from the oblique muscle is clear now that they handled it pretty well.
Well you have a ball pretty well you know they had a lot of guys -- of the -- the -- but that what you the bagged up retired. You know Okajima being a good example of that and even know who you know the last couple weeks she knew they were going to the playoffs you still did not they're going to win a division but bait they -- you know very confident the fact that they you know they could win games you know what these guys sitting out with the bigger picture at hand. And this is proving right now that. You know that was the right thing to do -- they've won a division I predict perfectly haven't been able -- they're pitching -- going to be able booting up the next series they've -- management of the bat well you -- is doing well that you Okajima has pitching okay. So you all the things they did the last couple weeks to prepare. You know kaposi's who played just worked out perfectly formed and you know -- any. You know we've talked about -- a million times -- you know you could see like I played -- last that is the only -- a comeback -- just try to hit the ball the other -- get base hits then get his timing back and all of a sudden -- to turn on the ball and saw what happened in the two games of the two home runs so you know but it was just pretty it was fun to watch is no question about -- you know when you -- Ortiz and -- on the -- you know the goal line -- that's pretty good.
Jerry do you think Schilling thinks he's done in Boston after this post season.
I taught to read what you banks are a you know you might think that way if you look around at there at what school probably got -- you got back to now -- race but I. The young guys in areas possibility that that then we'll find out what was you can go look but up there what he's got a glove he's going to what about what he's always in and then yesterday it was a good example you know I didn't even when it was still not been in that game I thought the gave result. I mean -- ever felt like the angels had a chance to come back and he does -- who runs the way he was pitching in the way they would hit it. And you know also argue. You know it's it was play it was good to watch you know I mean deepest to propagate -- nobody wants to do and -- was able to do -- guessed they would with equipment they control also you know we'll see what happens when the time comes but. Who you know I don't know what he's -- I have no way to with the Red Sox but.
A jury in your mind is there any downside to the Red Sox being done so quickly wait around till Friday while the Indians and Yankees bashing each other's brains in.
Well you know I thought I always felt and they and they hitter you don't -- Alongside offices is not good because of those -- timing and you know -- at this stage of the season. You know you don't want to play in the inner squad games you know stuff like that decision. You don't pitches and you know stuff like that so but on the other hand you know it gives them the opportunity do exactly what they did in this series that -- their pitching that we the the way they want to do that. And and in the way to escape the second round is is scheduled I think there's not pick between the three road games. You know which means he could have basically the same rotation with -- pulling it up forced out of wood just one start the series so you know it -- if everything is working up repertoire you know in the whole field throughout rapid mistake up really well the other team continue to play. You know being able set their pitching for the next series exactly how they want to do it. Depending on their opposition and you know I think it's a little long but you know it is that the -- better -- five games. And then having to go away then you know maybe not have things we want to.
Who who will be the fourth start with the.
I would think heavyweight feel apiece healthy that would be my guess if he's healthy they I guess he put aside yesterday -- what I just -- Pedro okay. So that would be my guess the other option. Would probably be -- I would thank you know ambulance by the guy who's got -- starting experience out there but I I would guess if Wakefield healthy its gonna be Wakefield.
Do you which we look back at this angels series. And it looks like there was no way they could lose him in the angels lineup was obvious that there were hurt there were kind of week. It doesn't seem possible that that team could win 94 games in and it didn't seem like. It was a very tough task for the Red -- to do is just knocked them out of the playoffs. Looking at the Yankees and the Indians are we missing something here is one of these teams an easier opponent in the other for the Red Sox
nobody easier I mean you know sit back -- in com -- give me armed they really do I think it is that they -- better than what the Yankees. You have offered you know in the starting rotation on the other and -- it yet it has not yet that if they get some guys they go up. Before -- pretty good they're a scrappy lineup you know it's not eight is batting Yankee lineup by any means but they do have guys like attack it together in doubles together to score runs Lofton has been an invite a formula a lot of post season experience so. But they're an already interesting club but if you don't have the -- did you do it yet I mean you know the deputy head musical play them because they've all about union all about that. There's nothing tricky there. Have played a lot against Cleveland this year and is more work to be done as far as studying them you know -- no wonder about Cleveland you know. Going coming into Fenway Park you know in a playoff atmosphere where a lot of those guys get it at first taste of it now in this series. In a long seven game series you know with the majority games is that way how would that affect them you know you know you don't you don't know the it is most questions but I do know that the -- Tutu got the top rotations give me. More than the two guys the top of the Yankee rotation.
I don't give a -- complete breakdown of Arizona and Colorado.
Yeah out of my breakdown is Jerry I would say that Arizona in late October is a lot more preferable to Denver in late October.
Yeah I was faced you have west alleged a little bit of that -- last then they gave the wind was blown a thousand miles an out -- going out it was crazy out of our. I don't know much about it we played them both but I don't know much about -- one of them you know good bad like that where it's going to be upset about the the matchup that's assure you that. In -- the Mets the route that would not about the Yankees it might be out Philadelphia's all the big markets throughout. Except of Boston so I think there's a lot of capable for the Yankees that would -- the game that the big.
Ager back the angels -- is Vladimir Guerrero the most overrated star in the game today that the answer to that is yes or maybe at some point would it dawned on him that he if you were just like 5% more selective like didn't swing at balls actually hit the dirt you might get more effective off -- about it.
That's never going to happen at -- time as far as overrated no no this -- one of the greatest players you know in the game. It's just that you -- at all into this series for some odd reason I mean I don't know who would.
He had Reggie Willits behind them yeah.
Yeah I mean he you know he's got he's -- not -- made -- of -- lineup badly you know on you know we feel that we -- the last of his they wanted Manny they want there's they want that -- prior to which -- rather I was -- I admit it some thought behind them and that he doesn't have that I think he would he felt like the long range throughout -- surprised -- second game -- And then I'm coming back yes they've got to -- not even a factor in this or nobody with the fact -- that they completely controlled. And it edit it any weapon they had you know that one in the second in the -- 115 bases but not a confident the runs. So I mean nothing they did at any effect on the Red Sox I mean it was a but it totally dominated every aspect of the game.
And speaking of non factor do you think we've seen it once and for all the last of Roger Clemens.
All I hope so I really ability you know I I'd -- sit on the post -- show yesterday it's almost like -- but that doesn't want to retire. If you eventually it up embarrassing you know you know end and and I'd. You know I -- in I don't understand I guess they wanted to because they -- competitive nature and also -- a lot of money. But you know there comes a point time where you know Europe you'd be just a little bit yourself and and I I just don't you know just go home. We tie. Don't take the phone calls don't you almost say in my comeback just got -- development ideas. Maybe one of the greatest that is all -- you know because well what you saw yesterday it was. It was bat I mean it was it was that is the data bagged up in the batting has been bad elbow is that not at all these people behind three nothing you know and and you know -- the -- that crop up before it is all.
like you say the fighter analogies that Evander Holyfield come back -- from the 700 time yes and to say what's he doing Q you talked in the new here he's getting 18 million. For the plight of the public Clemens getting 18 million.
I think I think it's more of it is competitive results but what -- open then and the money going to need money for crap like to make tons of money prologue time I guess you can never have enough but I mean and you know what are they going to stop doing that -- From the start for anybody. They're major league team to pay him that kind of money the player happy it doesn't make any sense and you know I know they turned around when he came here but it would not. You know the -- The net that much to do that -- so you know my point is please go to the house you know that you that a great pitcher you have. You know you gotta be a Hall of Fame a first ballot hall of that what do you know all these accolades cities that but the isn't activities I just hate seeing what the waves you by it happened not because. I don't find it you know I don't I don't find a gutsy in the -- you know that you know we try I didn't you know he a -- justices the little guy just break it down. You know losses so where did in that you know at the same guy you were -- three years ago he had that same guys for years ago so ticket for the house play golf enjoyed assembly. Enjoy your money and -- career.
Has that been set I think you could've played that angels team they could use your stick in the lineup.
What actually -- the kind of keep a player that when I was about that we could Loretta and a so yeah I would try to open a series.
Our -- India all right we'll talk it down the road Jaret dog the red report with them now
