I wasn't too worried about such is life -- threatened to kill him he played -- assets should not. -- Neither you have heard a text message email. I was always pigeon post a message for even. Action. It would signify for you gonna kill for planet on the -- action a month in the Killian first from the get into Democrats -- compassionate and I don't know. Yeah that's the big on the Jerry he's that -- John Edwards Democrat that's right bullet you don't know what Nam. -- mail on Rockies he's looking guy. Higher tax bracket real well yeah SC got a -- would have got a little slightly and his legs. Jackson also say if you're not a liberal when you're eighteen you have no heart economic conservative when you're thirty -- that. -- their name yeah it's about the -- Stewart course ID is that room liberal but I admit it's -- Does -- them up now now I feel maybe. Little bandage. Little better -- very good I had thought and you know. Very irritable there are -- yes extremely they put me on steroids. And really don't grow on steroids yes Fred in his zone. And do not recommend now what had got bigger than other guys -- those -- last August you know steroid lots written that. I thought -- yes Eric companies should be now yeah we should be now -- yet you only -- 'cause we're here we weren't here would you be I'd probably lose them -- the point now where Miami. When you're familiar with this bad voice I -- Know throw notice like -- vocal chords. That you can't give -- much -- you know I'm not. Duncan and eventually caught of course it beauties and this. And I am -- 92 -- I'm.

Not particularly. I heard the meters out of his parents and I think you're kidding me I had. I was at the doctor last week and a little bit of the threat Trout and he said -- you have very excited.

Take five days worth of like an impact -- being. Hot and I went back to work hard and it like what well what does.

It's not a contract thing. Somebody -- this it now pro because Manny is that a contract. Sit down strike I love that judge's words but -- more -- hosted its first thanks to hold outs what do you -- that's smart and holding them sick the so what did you do -- to sit sat at Betty Hardin likened. Him. Yeah I watched that watch the Olympics I said bad night a miserable and it all week I was -- That's -- each -- must look at that when the boss essentially -- you know enemies you must -- yeah you must realize. I was -- three is not recommended scandal chances you know we can't agree -- Just to go out just about. A -- that allows that a second Olympic Jim. If you look at history. Wakefield on the deal. Popping goes clicking in his reflects. In real clicking and clicking in his wrist Mike Lowell has a sore hip Youkilis has a shoulder impeachment. -- Lowry atlas or what many -- approach as a sore throat. And played -- doses.

He's perfectly healthy -- that's the good news is it's just has really heavy jewelry and that. They have not taken your advice thrown every. You'd think by now by an interest cut them off ex. Two and -- with an eight point one last seven to an 819 -- game. Yeah it's it is Marlin one. Managed to have mister. -- You know what over and I think at this rate he could be Olson among the bullpen because he's been. Wraps outskirts of him he's been stretched and been back honestly when you watch -- don't -- Simple. The masters and -- mean yes that is pretty it's pretty Justin Masterson is better. I know. Not to lose again the bullpen that well -- can't. Maybe on the desperate situation and Bartolo Colon and if you lose that game September against Tampa. Would you rather have just and that I think he would do which ended last of dust and Clay Buchholz well if I don't see that out. Atom of element enhancement an. Athlete's performance placed his dorm room watch tennis. Seventeen it's black and one other -- team which Rakers is. It strict so we should happen as AFC and and that meant it was like. Warm up -- on the bullpen because it -- first inning yes they did so like massaged his brain right. It's always got to come up that's that doesn't mean and they at least go which only schedule that. A big mental thing about me it's like one operate and he's got fifteen pounds he ought it's got to sentence and about yeah well you know what he's not that important. It's not that important begin with secondly no problems that we have three stars. I don't think in in the can October. He won't larger man and -- half bow and glow in the wrong way they'll be what is. And and somebody. Most in the girl who gets all optimistic they'll be fine but I different starting with. Pop his wrist is clicking a look at the Yankees Yankees not -- the Yankees. Into a Tampa Bay's run. They closed out here's the thing you have to keep in mind somebody broke on the schedule. And hurled -- them it's it's only -- times it looked on the schedule. Yes it was a good example good. Good illustration of why the schedule all. -- K game it's. Old Tampa -- In the Yankees Angels it's. It's awesome game in Chicago. Lose by Iran in the schedule the key here in the Red Sox have favorable schedule. Well. Will be games like. Against the plants and -- them mister Lance Armstrong. Back the optimist. He does this mean there there in the playoffs you know in the plan and right now they were held now. If anyone of these long term deal. Every team -- thing not the Yankees so you can pick -- that -- play every game the rest of the way I don't know idol but name one of those things that support Bobby has copies in order against his job but Chamberlain's shall. Mean on this the god team in the deal shall -- it's done and they -- never done and the Yankees knows ways. Come in and guys but -- last year it was effective starter. Who Tim Wakefield. -- that's what that's equivalent -- but as someone. Wrote that when they put guys in the deal -- take two weeks. Off at times almost seems like the strategy. When they take that -- It is that it. Actually did it meant is that Vladimir and pick your pocket its arms pitches I think it is -- anything is albeit we were. It worked out the check which are treated him as a part agreement Pinkston gone -- that -- the greatest Mano with that you read about who wrote the numbers -- about to -- or is there stop in the Montreal -- here he asked her 24 -- in there for that was Fernando Valenzuela 41 sporting -- you know why couldn't that moron X 42 like the Dodgers in 42. Just any team -- And and yet again and Mike hit it in like fifteen numbers and they technical. Sound like sixty. The six numbers. And and wasn't even -- the 99 was on the descent won in 99 because styles where is it -- what is their style is. -- nineteen partly math math problem Nelson it doesn't say like it's -- yeah that's nuts I don't. That you wear. Number Jersey it's numbering at the bakery in the more. Than 99 men who take 99 -- hand the -- at number worn -- but -- a big Gretzky that's what it is the big -- yet he tells them and if you should have nine. It's stupid baseball stupid man.

Indeed and the way congratulations you haven't talked -- but your article our first day vacation Friday was right on the nose right on the nose with -- a bad man.

So yeah it's only bad and a minimum in the race people write. A column I -- and just. Be completely. Lost. The conversation. And most people are gonna say it was like a million. Reader feedback and comments. And but. But they like -- me defending me and he never. Stop you know the the the enabling it still hasn't stopped. -- people can't -- how why couldn't they have is not pick up. And said. You know you can do what you want they would mean people three days after the trade Jason bass it's great they win games they call the station yeah. And that's why couldn't they just have to hold them if he wanted to play and he didn't want it just made him. He. Went. And these idiots these morons who want to defend his own in the.

The reader feedback to your particular column last Friday was about 5054. And again that you possibly read what it is you wrote what -- you revealed about Manny. And these kids in spring training and have any but.

That's a good question these. Established could not -- I said that to somebody says if you can defend a guy who blows. Sick he made seven years in a row seven Celtics. I think it was six that they've been doing it says I think that's wrote but six years in a row yeah. Where it all and and we didn't talk much about this for a reason. People and wants to talk about that one still there was still hoping. Next year Manny would c'mon man it's if we don't. Expose them. Would be the ego maniacal narcissistic more on dog he has. Then maybe next year he would -- because -- one among problem with -- The most popular. Among kids that they ask -- every year to block out tents a lot of kids pose for a a picture or two just to --

By the -- history and but the -- we're talking spring training we're not -- the middle of the season when -- is getting ready for a big game that you know he may or may not try. This is spring training Fort Myers, Florida in a week.

Often laps and hyperbole and and been accused -- and call people pieces of crap pieces of garbage. Pieces of the winter human fecal that. This guy defines that term is a piece of human fecal material. As a human being as a person obviously we all know we can hit. But you can't separate the two and say. He can hit them -- here cheer and for a guy who is just so insensitive. Too slow self absorbed and couldn't walk. -- just say that -- fifty feet outside the ballpark right. The outfield. With his attack with 25. Kids with cancer. Who want to meet him and it just -- to send him and we love humanity he poses -- couldn't be Bob and I guarantee you. He contemplated the request for about a second maybe two seconds element. Can't do but see these kids some of them and two with the there's eight legs -- They would like to say hello gentleman. Of to say good to see kids good luck. -- mean this is a low life this is an absolute low life and people here spent seven years cheering his every movement. That's fine and I understand that maybe people didn't realize -- piece of garbage he is. But in the end they knew in the end it was pretty clear in the end he quit on his team in the and he threw. -- thirty years old when he. To the ground me in the end the evidence was overwhelming. You were cheering. For absolute piece of --

I can't out of I've gone over this and I read your please. Out half a dozen times in my mind. What what what genetic. What brings synapse not firing correctly what in anyone's -- heart mind rain. Would would would allow them to ignore and say no. Sick -- with catcher who just wanted to say hello for five minutes. How argue. Wired. So perversely. That you would not want to do that that you would not. You know with -- those shots of Wakefield in Chicago its climb all over and have a great time with these guys by and large almost to a man. Say. Is that they're here I'm going down to -- them you wouldn't want to do it. I could not only even be ambivalent about it. But rejected. How -- can you would actually think about this request or did you say maybe five seconds to say. I can't fit that into what I.

Need to do it in spring training but at the same guy. Probably spent about a second considering whether or not to visit the troops to wounded troops Walter -- up. And said nah I'm I'm -- and and I wonder what he'd do that day. Dude did you -- by the pool. That he just brainwashed yoga manual to Maria -- and -- steamboat right that's probably what he did a lot -- that's what guys do. In spring training a lot enough than me and and if you can't boo. If you can't dislike disrespect the guy who blows. Children with cancer blows -- troops with two legs. Gone and if you can't. Dump on that guy then -- what what does. -- for a player. To lose you it is baffles me me it's it be great case study got to do without some schools some some universities one of these. -- dynamics of sports and and in the eighties perverse that is the -- Reverse when you stand there or six -- about with your child. And wrote. With this Berman I mean this guy who wouldn't. He Agassi would -- that's basically what he's done yeah. -- in the face of people in Boston for a long time now. And they sit there like it's cool submarine. And enjoy that -- here -- pissing in your face Boston and many of you not at all utmost many of you. Sat there and enjoy it -- on love this lovely pain I mean that's what happened and that's not.

Even because it -- because everything we're just talked about supersedes all of the other stuff the quitting on the teammates the having to be talked on onto the airplane and Anaheim to go to Seattle. His teammates he was any eleven days off he'd be back in time for the Kansas City series you know exactly -- when his tendinitis in his nearest and strings or whatever the -- cockamamie excuse was he was using it to dog it on his teammates don't exactly when that was can be cleared up. But funny.

That is going to be bothering him with a -- you know now much much better now -- want ticket when he blew up the troops Walter Reed yeah. There -- people many people on this stationed defending him. -- is Ryan Wright doesn't have to go so mean and these are friends of ours co workers who saw. In that situation a good defense for Manning. So what's to stop them and what's to stop callers from defending him for everything and anything if you can defend him. -- that you can defend them for almost anything. I want no news -- wouldn't take it. He quit on your team Red Sox and he quit on David Ortiz quit on just.

It's always thought that you're let down there any doubt in anybody's Arnold as a a lot of lot of doubt a lot of people's mind is -- adopted the three of our minds. That the battle crucial against Rivera was exactly what we set -- Any question.

no I I believe the worst yes in this guy right this guy's just bad bad human being bad teammate. And and I know it's not a good trade wasn't fair that Jason -- I was good hitters Manny -- in Austin. Greg and Greg -- on top of it. But that's baseball. The Wednesday's all that's -- Red Sox -- The reason they got sold little for the Hall of Fame. Piece of garbage. Is because everyone knows he's a piece of garbage and everyone knew we would quit on the team that won new. He he would demand is going to make his contract demands to be free agent I think they'll be interesting to see hope he does well through his promise and then go to New York.

Yeah although. I cannot sign them of being a moron is Los Angeles where they are now universally loving an -- him and he decides to raise that's for ya I wanna go opening Yankees because because why.

I want to get the Red Sox yeah. Book as why what do they do you what Tippett team duty you what exactly did the team do. To -- the wrath. Of this half wit I mean. Much I could never be a manager general manager you have to deal with this moron and that and having him well compete have you put you over about.

And out of heard this gives you away and and I'll touch. But Gil was on -- and holly. Everybody knows equipment is team but he knows what to belt and shoulder but he knows he's faking an injury but he knows the game offered what everybody doesn't know and Theo said this without giving a specific. Everybody does know all the other stuff right. That the all and T dole and that entire organization had to put up with and swallow and spent the horrible based out of their mouth and deal with that --

Manager said the same to -- before it went actually said. If he does anything but sing the praises of Terry Francona -- would be very upset because he knows how much Francona. -- protected him at home overlooked how many things he's. And blind side too -- how many ways that he's enabled this -- I mean it must be frustrating to be a manager gentleman's teammate. David Ortiz he knows what a piece of garbage Ramirez's. He's out there -- in and clicked in -- And I -- people say boy. Without Manny you're screwed you know with a man you what are you going to do David. It was obviously. An answer in this dialogue for for years answered questions and deal with -- defended him. And now they don't have to defend them and hope someday we get hero stories that would be. I would I would enjoy that sees no sequel to -- Franco's -- you know get together again.

About the -- I think about the other day and 162. Days. 67 sevens and I'd series fifty toll free 888525850. Email address Dennis and Callahan a WEEI dot com we'll take your phone calls after we hear from these steroid fueled John.

My throat is actually kill me. The tours reported -- had.
