I respect that our our our body on the line right now might be able to help me with that tell -- if this -- always. If -- two thousands. In the Red Sox season. Long apart like -- did. Maybe at that point you know you're not going to the playoffs might do about -- sheriff -- absolute war Kevin -- and straight let. When your first place at the all star break.

I should I should have known something was common with your your -- he just you you became a different person overnight.

I've got a -- top worked out where -- guys. The jacket. Out ballot that would they're.

Used to be your shorts and flip flopped and kind of dirty hole lead teacher -- now.

Well hello Mike -- that when I'm when I don't have to with a jacket and I I just worse than ever so that -- the only better. But you're completely erratic player of Bob the New York yesterday you would be known that I my route to a back seat at all.

I guess what he calls back -- them I'd. 90% now I don't know you can ideological I don't I don't I should be put a percentage on. I just say. Hey rob welcome it is great to have you as a question yet -- idea. Rob. You know maybe a year ago it is back on now is back on this is what I should I got a whole new approach form. Just let me know what he's up there are here here's here's my new approach. Rob. -- love your work and you're so -- everything you do grade. -- victory out of your your put deep drive Michael and that was Internet. I think it should be a national book Award nominee. -- okay now I say that you don't hang up on me but no I was saying it was a process. Welcoming -- and telling you that was kind of sincere about having you on staff. But. Before we get to your duties -- W yeah I can't tell us what you know about this Kevin Youkilis -- Mark Teixeira proposed deal.

All I know -- Atlanta without him around oh oh oh what he went where they -- been batting. Aram right around that time where there are what you have been okay the other vote I'd like the -- Then what do you use under re going to be able -- talk where there might be just because that might be a possibility of really. -- Doc I don't know our epic the reality this has been -- the I -- would have been talked about in our league was that would apply paper and but I -- a little bit reading your name and I kind of agree is that. It at the put a big -- of state here that think the bigger straight double put W quote benefactor. Part -- here right now -- with no current you'll thought.

Why -- darted out. Your opinion.

Why wouldn't I wouldn't return to direct the well it didn't request about I'd ability aspect that -- yeah going to be able get that I signed up there and that that you do to. Problem. The belt now you're out Uga -- Well a lot of record by you have -- At the pistol report out you don't -- at you but they're dumping out there.

Craig Hansen. Greg Anthony to Craig Hansen and Kevin Youkilis for mark to share.

Out Burnett or get a though problem and I don't know what you got bouncers and that would -- sport and about now in the top little bit. And it is going to be what you're now one of those. Eric it looked every other people involved you have to take the value out why would the -- but not make that this could -- Yeah okay typical -- But you're talking about the credibility problem it it it can't let yourself certainly around the crowd into a big pop you know wired up. Report -- about -- you'd want ordered. And get there that envelope pop in the middle of the order by. Again not -- you know what I I don't see the Greg it and if you look it up and what I picked -- what I would -- o'clock with learning ability where they're not a situation not on the Red Sox for. From another repairs and based you know. Greg you have and what not the level gutter talk about bill that you.

of course Mark Teixeira of course was on draft about the Red Sox coming out he chose not to play here in Boston and city and state went in and played college baseball. -- just that I have an effect than anything that's going on and would mark the open. Playing even here in Boston.

Yeah you know because let it go to different received I think you'd be typed up by a lot of guys could very well might pompous. In the past where where previous received a preview negotiations -- other people and and I think everyone understands that there -- you you don't. -- That achievement you thought you -- you are are two different are divided. If you separate entity belt -- helping you to be a problem are a lot of I'm glad that -- I think it just becomes the -- to -- support that it couldn't doubt the Marty is that the player and he. And although with this dugout went on spot about Baltimore beat the heat from the area but you know I gotta expect that at the money thrown his way. And with a chip away and then. Spot on your luck -- went well.

Where your New York right now rob for the all star game. Any new so far that has surprised you mean I didn't expect that Terry Francona to come out today and say yes Mariano Rivera is going to be a starting pitcher. As was suggested by Bob lap which and other than anything else covenant the come out of these press conferences that. That does that -- you.

Well you know I -- I know I -- you know it got quiet in the lineup it. Yeah go to my life Michael. -- going to be big block -- W he had backed up by. The could -- going to be not a bad job and about that he could be our but yet now. In local Y -- now been really jumped out of back picked up Pedroia litigate -- I I don't feel that I'd be. It might be controlled could prove that he could close because I guarantee you probably never 88 that are quite. And out. But other than that the one out right that would go to right away about -- it's in America are starting and he -- that that was brought up the beat by the media. I wouldn't do that beat. It's open -- you're not used to. I don't want whatever the condition that he not -- bill and that to the other starters threw well on the right -- get a crack are you that would prevent it. They're kind of it yet you question that. It wasn't picked up too much from their -- on the -- and I.

Plus is just the goofy tribute this go for -- don't you think. That's it it's silly that as a tribute to Rivera having him start a game I don't think there's a great -- what do you think.

attribute that it's good. Yeah yeah. It was the corporate -- who they beat us up equipment. That ought not let you know I can't get. Good quality better prepared stupid. Equipment or basically just you know I think it will be what you -- it broke out and play and on back in compete though. I picked you I'd -- record he became news that bank. That article locked if -- that gave it. That that you're going to be a road course and -- need to sit back and meet you aren't right dispute that -- fourth year to do that. Looking at the plate rod and the -- you we all understand that though I don't know well -- to do right out that that you can't copy more.

Robert talk with Manny Ramirez last night and of course really grew up in Washington hi T talk about its -- taking him to Yankees games when he was thirteen of fourteen and he's looking at this as a pretty big memory and something that is definitely looking forward to -- think he'll perform. On Tuesday night moment.

I don't want bad technical format global. But you know let it that it is it. I think I didn't write my -- you're right I think take it -- where. It took the world differently and -- topic you're act at your -- when Larry. He grew up around here that you Randy. -- that building the new Yankee Stadium. And -- all of this means a lot we all know many could grieve would be -- didn't happen and maybe that figure out sometimes but. There don't lobby up I gave back out there -- even though he had a good luck getting on that were. I would hope that he would do -- are you going on watered -- I don't know what you think about that a ticket topic but I think it's -- the Portland and it got that I think you might have a bit Motley.

I think you might get hurt. I'm not I don't even -- he's -- suited -- and even a cheap shot but. The home run headed guy at. Not saying that's it's it's work it's hard work we don't look at it that way because all we're focused on is. Hey this guy hit -- 410 feet 150. Are going to get a a classic moon shot. But the guys who do it say it takes some effort and -- did say that attitude to get into it so I don't like J. D. Drew participating in the -- had gone.

Ariel. A couple of guys that -- back -- Abbot are about if I don't know new year's winner of the other -- he's going to be getting. And -- body -- obligatory good that you only don't know a little one home run hitting on that note back in college -- he could accept -- and by the god that is second to. -- the -- probably all the participants. Though obviously record low and outside J. D. Drew will work on. But you know I I don't think it got bigbie that type area if you look LP you have to expect it be a lot being shot lead at the end -- do here.

Rob you're inside of course Julio Lugo strain that left quad the other day. There -- some at some talk out there that Julio said that it could be possibly -- what do you hear.

Yeah -- Iguchi he he would basically the well I doubt and saying that it might be ordered. Could knock that could knock noted that the -- a couple of Julio Lugo respect there will vote while coming back because quiet birds were you beg. It now all like would it -- you to rent the unit that. You got beat seven you quit while -- the struggle that you went earlier this squad last year what they're not what nearly -- that's what Julio -- great right now. Bigger and bigger market now on the out got -- steps up in our vitriolic or they're get -- playing time but. If they know there I would worn red card spin though respect okay. A lot of people say oh you got to wicks now he took -- played Julio Lugo not well. It argued are pretty much about who ever thought about but what are the public pop you know give allow every game. And they expect that you're going to come back and play every day and beat the player everyone think he'd be in beat you to that and evidently picked picked yet when -- called up. The pot -- Go I think that the cup that we know what forgoing the important. And it could be -- the trade deadline but Julio Lugo wouldn't it is not belt but I like. Like some people that you might not.

rob here's Matt my final question Torre and this is abroad when intentionally. Tell us how you came to be rob Bradford -- WE yeah -- dot com and what you do these are going to be.

Look I'll I'll I'll order not to be answered and I need to -- how it would be well. I David at the -- WEEI edit it edit as you might know a lot like that. They've basically it marked the that yeah new commitment that -- went in and Eric Carr might get -- at -- even greater commitment. And edit it it at every opportunity because basically what you're you have. You have a chance this -- quick moment where you build up something. Our people out but you're you're -- big people up -- on the ground war with the with a lot of -- sort of a lot of a good week and keep behind it and a lot of good people -- you went and we're going to jump on -- And not -- that -- at the compliment it love yet. I don't the that it street article on the Internet anyway we all understand that the newspaper. Well. Not only about oral -- lucky at a world lap Internet site. What -- where you have partnership with a well well tribute -- know in that. We I don't need a combination anyway -- a street. And it is not all bad I mean it went if not you'd be at it you know we we knew would be brought to the popular -- that the three.
