For the bottled the NC just a reminder the auction. Or records pitcher ALS phone number 6179311850. We are at a thousand dollars for the four luxury box seats to tomorrow night's Red Sox game and the WEEI sweet. A meet and greet with mister Schilling himself. A trip to the Red Sox radio broadcast Booth. A 250 dollar gift -- of the Red Sox team store on yawkey way like to increase -- bit from a thousand dollar 6179311850 every -- most of -- pitch for a cure Curt Schilling interview brought to you by DC -- digital federal credit -- the banking the DC -- go to DC -- or good morning -- short of the -- at -- LA I got a question or yeah have you ever used viagra to enhance your performance on the mound or not -- the column about it now. That's page one this morning's New York Daily News the the latest on Roger Clemens you know him a note that we got here Clemens stashed the clearly marked. Diamond shaped pills and AG NC vitamin bottle in his locker Yankee Stadium according to a source familiar with the clubhouse. He believed to have scored the drug from a teammate joining the hottest drugs in the locker room. Among the off label uses for viagra. Helped build endurance especially for athletes who compete at high altitudes believers oxygen new trojans that nutrients and performance enhancing drugs to muscles more efficiently they will have a -- this is the new opting in sports that athletes take viagra to enhance their performance.

I got into the game the wrong time -- the that there aren't dollars but there's a lottery one Michael roll and I guess -- just another.

It's not to late. Not too late.

Wow that's interesting you never heard this. No no never know -- I mean. Fired as well very good -- you have to go off pretty well candidate to big long -- find another use or I guess.

Go off label uses -- off label use is yet not banned by Major League Baseball. I thought interest in the clemens' lawyer rusty hard on didn't return the call for comment so we will not. -- CI think Brian Mac I -- wakes up each day occurrences. Which dirt what dirt kind of lean not on -- today what can I feed the New York Daily News today to make Roger's life more different.

As just it's certainly see though I've ever know.

Hey you know what we have been that we've been talking a little bit about Ken Griffey junior is 600 home runs. And that milestone what it means and all that and everything comes with -- an asterisk in everyone's mind you say. I think he did it cleanly I think he's an example of a guy who did at the right way but we just don't know. Do you know.

and I'd honestly I don't.

Well although I think about it but beyond -- Now opinion to any doubt whatsoever I don't I don't carried a there's just no chance of ever confirming or denying and it it. And when your in the midst of it. You kind of figure out where you sit in the you are you fit we -- you know and -- back up point in my career. Kind of doing -- our -- public and back to. It's not supplement factor Ramirez. In I I don't I stood up and -- clapped wildly when I heard Pedro say what he said in because I I I really Johnson went and I am going to deal with my kids of they're -- Are done say it ought to never. I've never tickets to you to never took steroids and never took those performance enhancing substances in in and I didn't I didn't. So it's going to be older mortem to some people and others I think.

Baker you know -- clear statistically I think what Griffey has going for him is as he's gotten older his production has taken the natural course of going down in terms of home runs not the other way.

Well and you know it again I don't I don't I don't at all I'd just. I evil guys my -- if you stay healthy you know equipment might have been him everybody was waiting to break on third to break Aaron's record. What's I don't mind and obviously people feel and think very differently about it fugitive that they do very -- But I you know I and -- you know hard part is we -- I don't know too bitter about people consider long you know he didn't say he didn't and blah blah blah -- Team did admit it and of -- nowadays is just certain itself well Upton. I thought I'd I'd I'd just have always enjoyed Wannstedt is open to watching from foreign. I do hope that he has he's been the guys that we all think he has.

How many of -- 600 have your name monikers.

I don't think -- not now now I I've faced him I didn't face -- very -- yeah I think he was he was he'd come up what is bad. When I first broke into the big leagues and they play together which was kind of cool but I -- I didn't -- not much.

One for two yet he had 500 -- yeah yeah I don't think you to Q did the you go -- 45 minutes today in the pen how will this one be different than the last one.

Struggled Portland hasn't had to be -- it's yes. There's just another wrap up you know we're we're kind of near at a time when.

We're there there's something hitters in the equation and take the next --

Hitters real hitters. I think in that hit these can stand there is.

Not all of our our they'll they'll be playing in I mean it's and never ever. -- in the media batting practice thing you know it's it's practice you know it's it's the competition but it --

So we always said August August was being good time you know sometime in August as a general. At target date for Curt Schilling does that still hold true.

Are not a may have seen me it's just it is possible to in I don't I don't know I write you know. In the map to get easier because there's just less speed that up. But you know these next couple steps will will go kind of more on how hard bounce back how I feel as opposed to the schedule I mean the schedule from arena court -- that point so.

That is Nolan spots in the rotation and.

A lot of auto accident airbag in of people dismissed that that that's a part of that I mean. This is not about Curt Schilling getting back in calcium and a third of the -- it's part of the it's more -- World Series are going to come -- they're going to be commitment -- because they're good deal that. To go through you know of an incredibly good American League lineup and and dominate here. And and don't 78 -- nine innings in and it'll take it sort that is is that acceptable Billick can't come back. And beat marginally effective -- show up in August and say okay you know he's got 75 pitches and also come on board up bullpen -- across those games and all Republicans because.

What what if it's all good -- what the starters all get healthy they are all effective you get healthy and you're affected so now we're talkin' six or seven starters can you see a role for yourself if you're effective in other in a starter.

I'll I mean I think that if if you -- stood and end in a world in contention people healthy. I think I've got a decent resonate for for important big games in late season in October that I -- ideal spot to spot the pro game or two.

Thomas and and colon does too. What why wouldn't a guy like Masterson who is so effective Israelis. Go over the bullpen and get just get right he's out as it is it's is it a step back for Q who's isolated as a starter.

I'll nodded and I'm not you know I don't know that that's -- possible that I'm not going to have to it to the pros the pitching staff as much as I have in the past but. You know fact matter is that they'll mix and match the guys as best you know basic sentence. You know one of the things that. He you know the part the last winner and and obviously that that they felt was it was a depend last year was was being able to have a built in breaks are you guys. And yet if you if you can run out 567 starters you know did you move very very good chance when the big league game. There's a lot of interesting possibility late in the season to giving guys a breather and allowing you know the best pitcher in the game to. In the north October not just Krstic did the best policy -- and into October. They'll -- what you don't want to do is you don't want to take he had doubles summit legacy and somebody is open runner and a groove and from crap out ball you don't want to you don't want to interrupt that not -- worried that that that's going to be.

does your arm shoulder by -- set you choose field different when you pitch that got Melvin did when you're healthy and can you describe what that means or relatives.

It just doesn't feel good. You know that -- there's there's the medical diagnosis was that there in my biceps is deteriorating cortisone Maria doesn't change that yet. So you know it becomes a matter of of differentiating discomfort and Payton and then figuring out one end of the where the threshold is if you get there. What you can which you can you know deal with what you can perform with and when you get to a point that. It -- because of an opener -- getting diminishing returns -- able to. To realize that often and then and then you know going from there.

Are are you more likely to change your approach for lack of a better description here because of the physical limitations or you gonna do what Curt Schilling always done and if you're successful you -- if you're not you're not. Physically you're just in terms of you know you you know I asked you last week if you really cut pollution if you'd really just know try to throw 9596 hour fastball on two and two count city -- yet.

A lot I have a -- right I can't time the United that is not that'll happen environment. In Arctic -- them last year that I was very open to changing my approach goes. I had to stuff was different so -- stop being diplomatic game plan that we haven't looked any different. On this here any differently than not in the sense that -- I can't come back don't 8485 that is -- going to happen. That would BAA hey you know packed it up let's go get it vixen and let's make some future decisions at a later date. If that's the case then that I won't pitch you know and and I -- Getting closer or should they were going to be able figure that out. You know I need to be able sold all 878089 mile an hour worse because I don't -- April forcing for -- while. That's kind of dangerous territory lost realize that people have to command kept up well.

understand why you one and downplayed the little fight in the dugout and and and defuse the situation you always backed up teammates and you wanna keep this in house. But is that fair to Kevin Youkilis.

Here's the thing I'm not -- I'm not I'm I'm I'm not downplaying it I'm not make he has less than it is because it really is not a a big deal it happens all the time it happens to a lot more players that you know about it happened with a lot more players and you know about it it happens all the.

Not this way it doesn't happen and I got on TV and the next day anonymous teammates support Manny instance youkilis as -- youkilis who got suckered. Youkilis fall because he shows to watch him out.

You know what take to to -- that steps. A credibility issue and source issue I'm pretty sure I don't know of many pretty teammates that would be even and honestly quoted out west you know and -- think of -- I I quite like questioned some of that arm because again. If it happens it happens all the time and there are a lot of times it happens just out of your sight in the tunnel. In the batting cage under the dugout but it happened if I'm not -- happened every day. This is an absolute non starter a non issue I don't care if there was two guys. That hate each other. It happens and it did it does not have anything to do. And it has no carry over with how we play four or whether there's tension in the clubhouse and it's such a bunch of crap. And it's one most things and I I'd I'd hate to break this part out that if you don't play -- don't compete at this level in at least we don't understand. Just that good example is become a -- about the lit bit later -- watch and as an observer. I have no White the F. What that what that temple the pace in the attitude is like everyday player in the MBA. There -- certain literally on African bench watch in the stuff happen in this bloopers ever seen. I don't know and that's just that I used that it's the same -- PP just to understand it it is a common thing.

Clarification when you say it happens all the time are you talking about arguments and disagreements talking about one teammate punching another one in the face to happen all the time.

Well both arguments in this you record numbers -- and work well we're together more than any professional team anywhere. For the longest period of time and the most time every day. I think -- literally together from noon to midnight every single day except updates. Traveling getting -- for the morning it all and end to -- a good spot because we've got a pretty good club -- And conduct an area I mean it's it's not something that that this happened. But it happens and it happens it happens in a hotel -- it happens in hotel elevators it happened and here it's just it's just of function of having. 25 very competitive male. Athletes with no more testosterone and help a little as possible.

Quite as it happens and you have you ever been punched or punt Bonser CI -- a couple bites out. You know since you've been with the Red Sox.

Well not all I can silly that's not true I've I've been that there a couple Juan that was physical. But and I was in 4 --

So I understand the arguments and disagreements and all. Bugged me was after the fact and people and literally we will read and from the articles the next day yesterday. They blamed youkilis he goes too much emotion bitches at the umps. At that could Kevin Youkilis is about to go out to right field and hit lead off in a game he was -- that yeah off Evans. Is that I'm plates are placed anywhere they -- to play at a moment's notice news too much many members of the media and callers and hosts -- ran what that says about Nicholas because this -- this whole thing a ticket. He got hit he got sucker punched.

Well you know mr. Duke is a very emotional player you know and and it's not like -- Revealing who killed Kennedy when we tell you that and see it every day Everett he he does not. Make an out that he's not upset about afterwards and that there are I played with guys who it takes time it takes time to. The back away from the personality can't get away they got to the big leagues and start to understand that that's a very tough way. To get through baseball season. You know each hit the big leagues performing a specific way of having a specific temperament. And that's all you know and -- it this solid fit it solid D you know the intensity ratchet down a little bit here it goes up. And you know he's a very emotional player and if it if you would have looked for an exact opposite in that you'd you'd find any. Many doesn't get flustered by any -- and sold yet you know again it -- that bit of media to polar opposites from a from an outward. Emotional standpoint and tell -- snapping interpret that doesn't mean he cares more than many about hitting or about performing. It's just the way Kevin express themselves and.

If so are you so is Pedroia so does Ortiz in a lot of guys get upset when -- right now.

Right and -- and so you can imagine if you let if you can help you hit 600 talked it was great year and you make 400 outs. No that's 400 times if you're if you were visibly test. After every out that's 400 times you're walking into you know and in an attempt to be filled. The group of guys thrown stuff and snapped an end and things happen and it's just that the detonated capsule the lead and non issue. In that I promise you the only people that were talking about today afterward people that worked on the team.

So I guess based on that we can assume that have many were sitting next few instead of your daughter at the garden of the ninety about a lack Kobe Bryant yeah -- a couple of them actually yeah -- Let that's sort of took you took you back is his inter relation full arsenal relates to the.

The point I'd try to make so the point I tried to make it in due in noting the observation was that. I don't know that's sport yeah I don't understand you know the big these guys are played a game that is incredibly it's the exact opposite the baseball. In the cases contentment and it's it's very they're strictly and the other their heart rate their intensity -- up -- For those twelve minute periods at a level that you know. This early our backs on and I can't understand it so you know and he is arguably the best player in the world. -- maybe that's how he is and how it works for them and how they do you think because they're in the final so -- you know. He's done taught right they'd dump some right just it was just our -- that premiered just. Watson in all I mean I thought that the hitters were. The biggest whiners on the faces here there's there's not a basketball players because they bitch about everything.

Did your kids your kids here and learn some new words and they could sort.

Not really -- my son's been article about you know -- but yeah I mean. You know you don't want to lead the American between the players and the rout was was awesome most of the -- Jackson talks. Where is just because they've won -- I didn't note there was during the keynote during time outs and I'd never solved before the coach is how often their own little thing. And and they talk whatever they talk in the nickel back in the talk that game what time they. Call timeout the Laker guys would sit down to -- to -- got -- stable one of them would sit in the same place to retire evidently don't -- they would select the player to distract. He's like -- greatest you know he gives system and what's his play. And it looked like a typical I didn't know you are not toward acid gonna sweep.

One of the players said this. And it wasn't --

Not -- it was wanted to yeah there was one I can't remember -- was but it was like you know I'd like what's it like the play report what he's awesome he sees. He's he gives us as the player then and and looked at what.

Do you think the Lakers will win a game.

Yeah I think it will -- it right -- I think they're -- not to. -- I'm surprised that. Just how dominant home court advantages in the NBA. And and I just I don't think now I don't I I I wouldn't I'm not a suspect all of my god -- the Celtics week. I'd be very surprised I think.

and you know who you'll. -- they'll any Lakers.

I knew -- the -- Luke Walton what do you available at I was in Arizona couple other guys side I brought into and it replaces. -- all look at -- which was conference yet. But I was it was an incredible experience they -- set I was I'm -- Garnett -- and you know you you hear things about players and I you -- your -- Perk things and seen examples in Indian going to go two -- about him being a very intense gamer type -- these young kids -- And and you know streaking -- league and at like eleven. And watching him pregame. And and how locked in -- east -- practices the issue around this year -- Watson many indicated that in the morning. Nobody else is there in his mind pitches in kitten is staying don't want. And when I was there earlier in your watch and then play Washington a rumor that coach for Washington just talkin' -- on him when he was at the foul line. And and in peace what in technology and and the guy said something pretty personal -- but we're like you know another word almost. A run by the sort of much in the face and was like okay. And then they were. They were getting after on the floor in the -- note that the trash talkin' like. Other trouble on the -- and -- the cricket world championship and their their talk contracts and each other like the ball on the didn't play that flick Wallace. I couldn't do it I dislike it.

A guard nets in game personalities sort of makes you Kalus. -- like Manny does that everything.

You're talking about Eaton that's one of things as as a baseball player you don't really realize. There are there aren't there like the model you know it's like looking out at triple for twelve consecutive minutes. Those guys are African player and just and I just cannot get over and -- this game was much more in the Washington game. I could not get over how unbelievably physical game what is. I -- the amount of physical contact as wanting -- these guys are big and they're getting after it and watch him. Literally watching Garnett because -- like round about it. And every play down on the when the when the topic of the ball. -- all is literally got Garnett wrapped up with both fans and and -- look at the left one point mimics what political outlook and like everybody still around like a productive they're foul each other every single play. If they just it was a it was a make him that I -- realize and probably like get up well they could call filed a single play -- the -- really how much more of an impact on the flow of the game. From a pace then and who get -- who gets the majority the foul called on them and all the other stuff and you know that that's that's that's a dangerous dangerous area.

A final question -- chronologically out of order we should have discussed this before we get to the the NBA finals -- the primer on on. Coco taking offense to a shortstop blocking the bag on a steal and then next time in not even the same guy covering the bag. He goes in hard and then the next night premeditated. It was out know he's going to get plunked and by the way on the right way and in the fly didn't have a fight put his teammates at risk you run out there and defend them.

you'll do it it'll drop -- you don't drop electors. You bet that's that's called unwritten rules don't do it could get people hurt.

Except to the pitcher can do that.

Okay virtually backyard and that's a collision that's the only that's the basic you don't go sliding into that and that's one of those please understand that. Don't drop your bench you don't drop of your journey.

Until the shortstop does that it's okay for the second baseman to pay the price.

Later that they played again in a bubble. -- your actions didn't end and reactions on the field.

Our direct result of of going York he missed. You know -- it's just like you know -- that would be okay if you have wanted to return everybody doesn't work that way you don't you don't do it. And when you do it you understand that that's that that's that was sent. Everything that happened up to like dropped out in the -- exposed to vocal Mahe the guy -- at all and that team that was payback. You know -- obviously felt like that you know. Either a -- that was okay Dougherty did or be you know debate they just felt like -- even the score. You know then they did what he had to do and and local it would be felt like he had to do as well so it's. The problem is that it's not going to. It's 1 not going to -- it's a long season and generally good teams don't -- only to be one up on. And you don't you just don't that the problem was that the games are without warning. And and given that the extent of dialogue after the night before probably I'm not sure if that was the best course of action but. You it's it's a weird situation the problem is that the least it sort of touched. Bob Watson has a lot of touch with how things are going on on the field umpires -- that we talked about oral part despite the fact that. It's been looked at their discretion. It's sort of having -- our rules in place on. And you know the only way to to actually eliminated bid and would be too too fine and but it leaves the bench. You know believes their position. It was the batter's box you sit for two weeks he'd he'd you know you particular hitter above the waist. He'd sit for ten it whatever sort of that is not going to change but the fact of matter is. You you you know I know it's it's it's childish and a sense. But it is what it is in the Indian not the unwritten rules that people that don't play. Who who that are the rules that a lot of guys played by and you know win when one team does dumping. Like they did there's a response which had been over at that point when -- slid and it was -- dropped in the you want to play like game here's here's one didn't decade older. They allowed it to escalate and -- that's a good young team. A good young team and it really immediate every Republican Democrat for -- last year and I -- that that was a potential players that would be interesting place because of the talent. It that that's not any different this year. But there are and there are ways -- to play again right wrong and and I have -- process total respect for Joe Madden I have. But documenting he said after the game more or wrong and inappropriate. But you know I don't play for them they'll play for -- they do what they think they need to doable do we think we need to do it's it's. That's the beauty of baseball season and in in one sense is that a long season. And and you know players and organizations have memories and you just make sure that that. What year you're not being taken bent over or in -- sense I don't want to say it like just been you know you don't want to haven't -- interest with disrespect because they feel like they can.

Really girlish or ten more minutes -- on the four luxury box seats to tomorrow night's Red Sox game and at the WEEI luxury suite a meet and -- with you a trip to the Red Sox radio broadcast Booth and a 250 dollar gift card.
