Welcome Back Big O

It's possible.

Like it has -- good -- go. Of course today we have a big deal with the -- Big show. I think he's got a heard okay Paul started the good news network already.

So are you probably sick feeling that third lord bless the new look like you need a vacation I didn't even when -- pretty -- or not a whole -- even go and nor does that prolonged -- warlords who had driven in -- Taylor threw -- not -- Up a copy. Our student and is it every -- way big things out and -- juries because no -- I appreciate it note here's what I unbelievable how we tell whatever opinion you have on the me any situation is legit because you're probably flip flopping but now that it's been done already. You can give an opinion as though it's -- duels all warrant. All you know it's a pretty good luck -- because you're you -- really wanted to -- and our. Hey that's pretty go against what I was thinking what are your blog yeah roller was Mike's agent -- 47 on Saturday morning -- what was might call sending. Hitting Tulsa area I don't broke the format they've brought the format it would happen what everytime I go Lloyd Wright beat every -- going towards stories break it it just like like Clark or so when you're going to wear again couple weeks. Think -- the that's the problem maybe about all the way too often you know and -- eventually things are going to LA -- just went away be ignored way I don't. I actually got a very good perspective. On the whole many think because. If you go out of town and always trust me I was well a lot of them. When you go out attack. And people have a whole different view of had to listen to lead the right of the Chicago writer that was on with with Illinois all the respect us do you relish endless clueless because he's not close not a decision -- let me people outside of -- of here I mean NL right now they are really all up and let the got -- many how many merely don't like him so much up recently for the Yankees on senator. While he didn't say that somebody else said they don't call him friend knows he -- he says that's not what I say many of W away without them still below the Weber they've viewpoints that you were getting -- great. -- beat people I'm talking to work were saying. Willie thinking what was there to turn -- hitters it was there until all the difference is dead people outside of this region. Are not accustomed to dealing with the daily weekly or or monthly management.

Rostov on thousand Jersey all week and is pretty much the same the same opinion down there are people telling you -- read the Yankees think. The Red Sox are done now because they never write any -- being up here I mean everybody knew there was time ago now so you're gone again big elbow -- It felt it was coming. That doubled -- went up to it is no doubt had -- are they a better team no no zero off they're weaker teams don't have that same fear narrowing their middle of that lineup an error when you're honest anybody's going to admit that you know what.

In US you know what my take was what the time when it first happened my take was that Rico. Why did you have to give up so much -- get rid of home. Why couldn't you sit down with him and say. Will let you go at the end of the year just give us two months well my guess is now in thinking that went over a little bit they probably addressed all of that. My guess is they threw the pass Scott Morrison said. Hillis and how about if we just letting go at the end of the year just give us two strong months he wasn't capable of --

There was a report that Boris came to the Red Sox almost at the deadline and said to get back would -- give us an honest effort. Would give the red eyes and I was ever did did drop the options and at that point they're don't.

The other problem with that theory is. Why would you give up something you had negotiated for in the only -- I just because you're trying to win but yeah but the only thing you're getting in return is majority -- trying to win an honest doesn't make today's war -- so close the -- that we so what is your position and has right now I don't know what went -- Jones is giving an honest they -- unfortunately that it doesn't -- professionals and then -- I don't know what it is. What would you have done if -- Well I think they had no choice but to do what they did. And it's too bad that a player can control the situation as much as many could control the situation but it. Unfortunately he was in control this war I was wrong all along. I thought that the Red Sox controlled the situation. I thought that by holding up that one year option over his -- That they had controlled the situation what we learned all of this is but had no control the situation. Because look what they had to give up. And give up coupled these employer's right not a hundred feet but. Depends on what your value our perspective is on the door allotment of up. I'll -- might be nothing that they get a real one of those guys might turn out to be much but the fact that they had to give something up.

In this still paying his salary and -- pay salaries -- well. How about you but your -- if you heard this -- not only did I mean Lisa -- a million the Marlins won the -- a million plus plus -- more millions that -- believe what I I I thought it was interesting that there were rumors that Selig and company to berg started to look into what my guess did not now. But you could see the -- last weekend and it was refuted by the LA times Jeff -- but but the problem you have is what good is that a contract if the end different guy can -- get on yet in this nothing you can do about it.

Not when you have a guaranteed contract long term contract now they can get rid of them on November the first but. You know if he's going to dog for the -- for the next two months Larry what is it made sense to keep him around. Not heard people you don't argue the point. While you caught -- shot any down a guy admitted to perform for the next couple months. I don't think we're dealing with a rational individual career.

I don't like no way are quite -- whether Manning yeah -- they had to do it the ought. Said earlier in the you know one -- shows a thorn -- maybe immature three year deal right now. And see that makes them happy -- wouldn't make any moment what is just or no business sense we'll just hit 11 million usually you're talking about sixty million are out there Bryant the other problem is there have been some indications. Maybe he stopped -- dipped to the other side the back nine now just a little bit but if our users are really nice and that's you sign a guy to a three year deal. But with the other way when they had a two year options then at least they didn't and that's what he did like but they can evaluate him a year to a year for the next I would --

I would say this Larry it's a shame because the guy is one of the all time great hitters. You know not a great all around player -- what he brings at the plate is enough for anybody for any team. And it's a shame it's a shame that he was able to dictate this it's a shame. And just -- He'll be fine with Los Angeles for two or three months he'll probably play his ass off he'll give them a real boost offensively and they need it right down that lineup. And then somebody whether it's the Dodgers and somebody else will sign -- for multi year contract and they won't deal with the same headaches but probably -- said. All week her ball player a ballplayer -- in the sixteenth seventeenth and eighteenth. That's what they had sixteen won't get out of it and you'll hear the exact same stuff. From that -- team and from the media from the players from the fans and that Knicks city as -- heard here analyst.

Your mouth from the he's not going to change right but from the red sarge perspective if you just speaking about on paper Ortiz was hitting. But yet 391 in July. 167. In August and I know he's been banged up an injured body it's and not the same with the risk of there was a standout and runs and used you said it -- still it's not the same. Lineup known and yes and that's spot in the lineup the fear element Jason Bay is a good ball play fundamentally sound just calmly notre he's simply not many were not many are the guys. It you know David's got to get over that fact though young man he's not here anymore in the end the only -- memo Mariano from when I played I loved -- Nomar behind me -- all of them whether he was -- or not. How I felt like it was getting better pitches well I was not a member of the next year I start out in the eighth by Craig grab bag behind me I don't -- There was. Let me just a mindset is already your meat -- I don't think that's what -- gone through mountain up. That's a very interesting point though also you when you come up to the plate in your mind. You were saying I know I'm going to get some psychological lowly real psychological once Nomar was gone. The news saying or brother I might have to swing at something it's okay because I'm not going to get. Anything really -- great idea that -- you're going to -- really tough you know they're going to try to hit the corners and they -- they want Fuhrman that's -- and that's what Ortiz is going through right now. You know he's think I'm not going to get a pitch or not isn't as aggressive as I should be. You know I might let a -- show because he's thinking he's not going to alienated. And then this adds up start to a lot of guessing up there you have a lot of people calling I'm tone of the calling I thought the subject -- died a week -- they are still calling. And and they don't know you portion -- restaurant didn't do whatever they needed to do to keep them. The problem is again we don't know the whole story. We just don't know the whole story and -- what we don't always they have and they had a contract from Glen we don't know that -- in two year contract beyond this year --

He if he decided on quitting. And not playing for the next couple months and I'm sorry there were some signs there. I still furious value vicious opponent for those three at Riviera Mariano Rivera yup I'm still -- what I but I thought as I showed that some of suspicious now can you prove it no recourse you can't prove it. But this is a guy who showed great track record against Rivera but the -- to keep the bat on your shoulder. -- there were other signs there that he wasn't going to do what the players around him know best if fourteen players on that team. That we're telling management it was time for many to go that's the most important thing for a while what do we say an -- forget about what the fans say. If the players were going to management. And they were echoing concerns. Whether Manny was going to play for the first of the year or call it quits for the rest of the year throw in the towel that you got to do something would you agree totally agree got to do something.

And that's why it's great -- this. -- new ownership and deal. They trust -- players are -- go to Rome and get a pulse of you know the team in. You know every time I've had a tough decision to make that -- not -- looking pretty good because I know the public on the whole is going to look at this and say. Why didn't hear any of them the players publicly. Attack many post their best interest to do that you're never gonna put -- another clarity about closure on that hadn't happened you right exactly -- look at this you know -- Nomar. I turned up pretty good -- you know and they had to make a decision on Pedro. You know they had a backup plan so but I of those players but the governor of those players. -- telling CEO and telling Terry this is -- we can't deal with them anymore this is a real problem. I think if you of the Red Sox you've got to do something an area to him I think our -- your question yes. I think the breaking point two was that game right before the trade deadline when they have like three errors in one inning and Beckett didn't cover today it was -- you can see their focus was not you shop if they really. Needed to do something I'm angry about it I have been angry by an opportunity we when I'm angry at Manny I'm English getting real like mustard or somebody that you know you're taken out of -- that's -- that's a lay up that's a -- up I went something with -- and will not I'm angry with -- had you know -- had a contract -- lived up to a score at least for the rest of this year have some pride have some -- you make in twenty mil a year. And to force it just a guy like I don't argue about me you know what the what -- you talk on the flip -- there's nobody. That is flip -- more of many over the last eight years and Larry just flat because I liked I liked -- production on paper I'll admit that unlike you.

So -- sold so you -- we -- you love -- prime seat and you're trying to learn you have to nail in the right because you're unable -- and two weeks later or two weeks like do you -- Nadal the only you know didn't run out the ground wrong I think job back. Nailed -- go on vacation renewed sense. Bigger events -- common ups or you don't have to make a prediction and has been to have somebody -- your monthly no Bartolo -- think about it if there. I know what's coming the other way went -- ever doubt I know yet -- when I don't want vacation I tell you in future if you think about this in the future. -- September's the month the decision if a lot did you see anybody get knocked out there remember my guess is that judges Ito has looked -- it was on the -- liability it was a great -- tonight. I don't say this FP -- I'm almost embarrassed to say that this is like the titlist is nothing new but -- this is like this time I had a c'mon in and tell everybody that I -- saw that the assistance of the yeah suspended out of that was just you know. I'm getting still pants movie it's more we live in the manuals and -- going to -- well I try to -- on -- by the way I want it to say this since Pete has been sitting here by the -- he's taken over your office I don't know whether you know I don't everybody every co host is demanding -- to take over because we get out of here -- six. Real yeah he runs a tight ship. -- Gordon LA weren't they any pressure get out of six okay let's try to -- aren't I let's -- don't rely embarrassed -- UC. I'm getting into these Olympics and I know slowly getting to assist by did you find the we like did you -- why is immoral and abolish it and to find they're everywhere everywhere but I don't. I would elected archery on today and are -- a serious about. -- actually -- repeatedly there are few people I would like to see little ball and Arthur -- I really liked it delicate Jim Ellis then was terrific last night I mean how could you not enjoy the this starting you're reminding your your days -- more at the white. French woman by the way through the point how it.

Thrown -- I -- what I do that is that one motion to know I'm fascinated by it I I I like must tell you. A -- could. Blow up what went ahead everything because they -- one thing before and kind of question what -- thing you talk -- doesn't get any credit look see that's what the Olympics any. They need taunting and trash -- I'm starting -- emotional or six of them saying Yankees suck and friend yeah good luck. I don't -- comes out and fires up let's reported to begin the game and in your rules I saw that -- does that work out didn't work now rumored Garland so well guess what though the men's swimming Spurs is like men watching women's tennis is checks his watch so -- can look at Michael Phelps body takes I think. I'll tell you what don't I you know the swimmers all have the same body no don't that they all have the exact same bunch of men and the women. The men and the women and it's all these kind of -- baby -- scientists its as simple try doing frank Kelly -- not exactly we have the exact same what -- we -- to put women's beach volleyball on not guys that are -- Atlanta Denver -- slowly this year all of the -- already during the volleyball coach Williams -- it didn't -- responsibility -- I don't remember -- wedding -- and I especially didn't that are right.

I found myself watching that Birmingham St. so that's what a -- supposed to work all the ball but it was I'm finding myself. Actually watching I was I was a little bit the disturbed outta here that the opening ceremonies which I saw very -- the opening ceremonies. There was waiting fireworks -- make fireworks. The Chinese have got to doubt you're faking fireworks and people -- buying it hook line and sinker and some of those fireworks were fake Larry they were like digital lead you know. From the sky or something I don't know that they faced fake them out you sound like get a great vacation and it. -- The drug you take Fritz crayons -- you -- And so I think. Why would you start that sort of Friday it was friends -- yeah carriage of the Mets are Zetterberg show very early show. Very good talked about a pitcher additional division. You also managed to see that I understand I saw the Patriots don't. I almost -- a major mistake is I. Forgot to set my little. DVR but thanks to Comcast no you don't trust us when boxing right done that I didn't I didn't know I'd died and I had -- I do are brought it but I didn't want to set my DV slogans like Stevie I had to drive like eighteen hours. And with Comcast is repeating it now this is a great thing so I did get to see the Patriots game. And any first impressions. -- tricky coffin throughout the first half is my first.

Because he's picked up the system so quickly. And I think that's the one thing that you always wonder about with young players in the film room did -- let's put another Brady had not a private I have heard Pete that he is one of those guys that eats -- just sleeps. Football that's always done -- and in the morning I'm an -- be -- aren't real smart kid who really has gone through and learn listening and picked up on it does very very quickly great Crable -- W. -- nothing from the first -- we give them what are we did -- the night they are similar but now isn't what they ligament. If Brady goes down within her when screwed for. That's the truth whereas -- have -- every every starting quarterback he's great for the without the think Cleveland pressure really. Well it dog didn't you think -- about the guards out though they were run well run -- rushing the all over the for the offensive line doesn't really answer -- really evaluate quite know them well evaluate a lot you know in the much in this game you can. First game -- I think Chad Johnson Chad Jackson got a rent why don't you got to monitor him right now medium doctored the short so go to Alaska and owners who -- it must have been -- a mistake the payment is only when -- fired up about did you did you really -- could -- well I just you know on a laid back hello -- Yeah Detroit moment of with a diving competition tonight it's -- little completely out of what they do what I think is a next time you watch the that we don't know much less about your critique it last night and watch a Cubs let's say -- suddenly what you what you do -- I want -- watched highlights after the baseball game was over. You know I'm going to put on think Pete watches that diving -- since now makes comments like kinds of yeah. Bad guy I don't care I just don't pick it up you -- and I don't know a basketball game is -- watch the rest of it if eyesight and -- if I don't I would say this bomb in that our audience. Really doesn't care. That much about the -- is more in line I think with our audience I'm at a time for something is not enough as WSCR original group I do watch the -- and that -- over to a for the US. The women the girls yeah there's there early like election women do the gymnastics jerk like the forest outside of the flies I wore on the crew down -- very it's -- lottery here that the Germans have like a 32 year old -- Jim the so whenever she's actually Russian but she's like 32. The Russian interment camp yes -- would you -- just it's all happening. Did you go to another puzzle players you know this says about the woman's basketball player -- have been an American player for the Russians what part of his we -- about -- you can -- you can watch it in enjoy it but can you come on here in -- no actually I'm in order to answer that you usually -- I don't know actually it's it's presented if you watched the -- NBC presents. It's it's basically presented for women more -- the meant. It is not presented as a hard core sports production because they know that there are dealing with -- more women viewers than they are with -- That's the other thing he dresses and nine still nothing else tidy shiny we almost went to Beijing we're going to go that would happen a budget. They'll the only afraid people who enjoy our -- I was stupid stadium wasn't -- stadium was a -- we're gonna go last year with the Patriots. I would like they -- department realization. With high definition television you really see it then they're smog in Beijing it is amazing you've never always really British just like really hog all the time. And it's beyond him apparently I'm Custer standing there. And and it's just that the one -- he's behind them and apparently anything written got Sophie just find his way home. That -- anything written or even going to write you know like you're you're you're writing columns and blogs apparently they have set up some network that it all has to still go through Chinese network. When they talk about censoring everything it's Communist nation you can I understand especially you can pitcher Peta should ask Carly doesn't question about that he knows a lot I'd like this and nobody every year. Imagine -- people terms are no I remember when we government's supposed to go amiss in the satellite -- what -- two things are members that it has said don't talk about religion and don't complain about the smoke.

Well let me outrun a crack at that point and that point -- seven hot and just and we don't know what percent of these Shepherd I. I. I didn't because we going to complain about stuff we did not. Yeah for a Nigeria's were talking about talking about the politics and whenever. -- George Bush's. Ratings and so low to begin with and I'm on the -- oh my god -- Asia it's like getting some of the worst photo opportunities. And video opportunities you ever -- I'm just awful there aren't comfortable they just aren't affiliated it would cost us some kind of I was looking at -- the last line that's four last lead of the night before like that a lot of it you don't didn't. Yeah I and they get it to some heavy stuff -- he did you get into the group some stuff. But some of the photo opportunities and I mean potential front of The Herald today when you know looking at Michael Phelps is -- metal look at that picture of me that's just that. That's. I think I was there when you can't -- that's the bad. That's a bad law.

Anita and Gordon situation but rusher in Georgia averaged just are kind of -- over the you know you've been on from there half an hour and -- not mentioned mark -- Red Sox. I I can't talk about Buchholz after watching that with him I can't I mean. How can keep him in the rotation -- there's no way awarded a little good way to don't just one dollar no going to dirt -- nobody can keep our cool tonight I was pitching lights are right now is masters that we have. Well he's I don't know I don't have a -- go -- Madison masters and I know that don't -- vote -- came -- game. Good effort I don't colon keeps doing what he's -- nice out Arizona yesterday hoping a couple of weeks and we would -- just -- the -- thing it's obvious. That this whole slot thing is not working right.

It's him as can be along Charles and his -- and sometimes you just wonder why. They make changes -- kid was doing good last year and only want me more sinker more consistency whatever wrote this stuff and -- right now and it. Probably is just messed up his confidence yeah I mean I can't see him turn around. The rest this year it is unusual though that you are deciding to change -- guys. Arm slot delivery you're changing it in the middle of the season plus they're -- little sassy and on that's what's hard. You know lost my last for the Cardinals -- Anthony Reyes on the river I don't remember who is a big prospect and there was enormous change him of the kid never failed before to people gummery reluctant to -- change when he had never failed. You know you gotta wait for the guy gets beat up a little bit then. You know wherever we listen the end. You know that's why things happen here yelling you mentioned -- Ortiz and over thinking when you get to the played all of a sudden I -- thinking about other things. I'm -- that happened. With the pitcher up with a little changes I'm slot now all of a sudden you're thinking you know there were rattling your while all over the place it is nothing and got maybe it was just off to a yellow kid its list. Likely to happen to a David Ortiz and it is to him given a young -- sit there and he's getting tattooed creating some big home runs off of him right now yeah. Possibly -- when you're young you really don't have a choice but to listen to own the domain you know. Davidson a different situation but when you're young kid might know Red Sox they say we want you to change. What -- young talent coming you you have to listen Delmon try to do a third. How citadel and what they think is best for him in for the team. But it does not Corcoran.

I was scheduled folk culture the big show at 617779850. Toll free 888525. Only that the get one of those Verizon Wireless phones it's a forty phone -- pound W -- Simplest that are email address the other big show it W yeah I dot com or brought Cuba I want cars got cal because -- right now one and I record start by breaking leaders and -- Bob Brett -- resist taking a dump. Excuse me don't adopt depth there on the field now. -- Anything else so that our catcher in the -- was like they did not broadcast the entire -- because you know the whole lap one of the -- the need to kill what you did it would -- says things excelling as a result it's a pick story but you're you're not a big story telling -- Did you -- they just said job against -- that's true originated note that's not a I want to know you need to know everytime he goes to the -- pump you need to know every time because of the well. -- Lineup talk about. Finally I don't want to give let's find out what Joe Louis serious trouble I was -- don't want to -- double weeks I would do -- Requirements he tried to kill it.

You go -- Michael Phelps about what it's all mental right off the pine crest. Fantastic fantastic second gold medal for the 2008 Beijing games US would you talk funny he's 1400 meter freestyle relay Phelps won his first gold medal in the 400 meter individual -- on Saturday missed that went through I don't know the value CS -- as they are we will try to capture his third gold medal laments you're going to win -- go to -- it thoroughly get right back at different -- good him what are the elements -- he's going to holidays is that good he's okay. -- running expert but I can tell you this right now the book it really 88. South Korea today when we -- archery that she didn't beat the Italian team on the white how would you but I know they did the United States to begin its quest reports. That's mortal by the way we do the the -- heroin you do I don't know horse is that Winter Olympics on -- side and -- gets -- on the -- he says he's that's what is going to stay order on the horse that's why we're -- slavery we don't. Just. I don't trust people -- guns below why would you trust them with -- miles east of the -- of flat track. Who knows that the first ever winner -- Tikrit of the meanwhile the United six against west great. For a final gold medalist softball and the faces might as well in Beijing -- tonight this woman's battle well while DM does your men's softball team I'll say the girls out -- spoke for itself I think -- Mansfield congress right now. They had -- big mystery of the professional softball player bigger than him. There's a mystery over. I don't think so there isn't. Well it's nice that another -- announcements provocative language I was there -- skirts and every digit magician pitching tonight if you do conclusion that I really excel at times again on 9 o'clock. Got sucked my gender aren't what I say don't want everybody you know and usually aren't Arizona's -- And -- also this. Those -- the Germans there a lot though looking and they were 2030 years ago I didn't know that thirty years ago that was brought up but that was a well if you had -- since occurred at China plus 44 today are you lost. I don't know US ladies beat them 1 -- 63 women's basketball Tina Thompson poured in a 27 point have been 123 enough and run. One point China kept it close for awhile. Ridiculous. Anyway not a black -- is this a flash in the what does this all wanted to all the stuff -- what did you -- at what point -- do we want to lose disclaimers. Because you don't want to know the results. I want you grew Sasha shot I'm right off all our own right yeah you got people you know well. -- And when useful little disappointment comes to -- about four years. -- for me meanwhile back to real sport. How about baseball public Milwaukee brought up an old pal Dick -- yesterday I am. -- said felt great. Stuff I thought first I thought it was it was going to stay fair for sure and I saw it coming out of Little League -- thousand. Positive and that was enough -- to stay fair I'm glad it's. Right like -- generation the guys you've let the great story though it's apparent that through Missouri direction and unbelievable story not -- fundamental hitter remember league and public really don't really. Clay Buchholz are not good yesterday -- donated did not pitch well yesterday but you know apply his his press comments that this was -- ancient.

There's actually coming in the boos thrown out who's been through. Through our quality prince's. Twice and got him plus plus plus all the memories are there and had a game plan and you execute and don't work out.

How are going to be confident in my -- on -- on my -- assured by them but yet more say.

You know -- the few times -- mean. Same story of until I actually threw pitches made pitches today I -- I had known from they're going to home runs in the -- and Clinton team than -- they're going to make throwing throw it. And I determined.

A John Edwards coming up insane 99% of the things of Donovan right -- I didn't -- the club hopper what tenacious like on the wrong hallway just problems that different from. Sports Radio 850 thus voice Asians --
