we found it interesting this morning to read that Michael Strahan as NFL season and I guess his stint on fox almost goes back the Giants is about to begin. Is over vacationing in Greece might guess as your preparation for the college football season basketball or baseball does not include a vacation. At the foot of the Acropolis right --
Yeah I'll engage -- like -- we're doing now. Actually that might hurt shaky innings for years this past summer I had just like excitement for coming and it and it at a -- and I never really largest state now it's. It's your turn the big history -- and I think that it you know lack don't want her number turning three outs so I think girlfriends and I packed up and like Mexico and I don't think I actually partied in celebrated like Michael straight and that we all dream right.
You've spent a fair amount of time here in Boston and at Fenway and around this team did you experience. Planet many Aaron when you're spending time pregame at the club -- Was Manny civil TU polite to you did he treat you like he treats everyone else -- what was your parents like.

That any would he acts. I now eat really could've cared blacked out -- you know there were times that you know you try to park woman walk away and hit people would say something cheering. You know you get orchestrated and like that again. You know I remember. -- years ago at the home run derby he was warming up offer BP at the All-Star game out right for the homer derby. With very thought that I I said well I'm. I think Manny felt that United that saying that it would've made it ten times better in the immediate thought. I could that he'd already hurt our hands like holy crap at the first ever heard -- gets it I last year. When I watched the post -- ninety act you know our our competitor he got back interview post game and might shot. Clock. Really I'd never hurt and -- should have like well at Eric let my -- they got Aaron Aaron -- out. And ever really got its market for it actually -- that --
Do you like that the job because I don't think it is supposed to be very comfortable -- club most is that. Natural adversarial relationship where they PS they're in their home and they don't want to -- in there in the league -- allows you in there and you have to be America's you don't want to miss the story. But it's I I mean I think it's supposed to be somewhat uncomfortable. What's it like for you.
Walloped the odd that is the -- category tracked it eat in chill out for a couple minutes and you know I think it kind of a situation I think going to weigh it out I pretty fair puppetry that it became -- kind of -- my -- You kind of equate very hates it Turkey checked greatness that are. Aren't so act now -- it looked like public.
So I may termination yourself you have the guys --
MITRE. I -- dummy I mean eclectic people are like good it like in the club up well itself after I mean meet the right. You know if they don't why do you -- like you know mark and and not -- me. I'm I do you feel a little bit more comfortable what are out on the heels like grab it -- But it is thinking -- I mean I don't really have a -- chew. Actually three hour to cover both -- get that many players that they can't get to SoundBite from the coaches give my partner hit. -- I can cure -- ram running around the chicken. Yeah like chicken that I had cut off so but yeah right right eating a little come. Trouble sometimes in the -- how it's -- I'm better from what I heard it used to be when women weren't performing each. Right in the majors are great -- mean and I really complain everybody let me get very comfortable on. Lineup the only checking our clubhouse. There's really practice six women in their.
We're talking -- ESPN's. -- there and I'd be -- your thoughts on how you having your mind resolve the opposing factors walk the fine line if you will between the between being a very attractive now -- young -- easy on the -- and also making sure that that when you're doing your job people understand that you are credible journalist is that -- is that a fine line to walk.
Well hey you know I really get wide because I know how I am myself a couple weeks ago they reject. I can't keep -- journalist I'm in Chicago that wrote an article about me out there let's talk about the Cubs brewers game -- Instead it observe -- for our our cap in the -- club out it's in black woman I I get my it. In kick into question which ended -- I mean it I don't. You know what -- talking about -- you know what I don't how I act. Because players are very good with me Ian and I mean whenever we coming to -- it's one as you know we -- count and everybody watching that because. Here we are we're gonna do you get reported that it. Until you really can't get away with anything so -- family -- my father is that respected journalists. I we never get ready -- Julian Garrett our camera or anything like that so yeah you have to be careful. But if you think I'm you know what I think exactly where are cut and not get. Journal not -- it's like I want to economic fact he'd get to know these guys joke around without. They keep it could stop from an erratic right I like Rick Sutcliffe. Got into the -- off return eighty players you normally don't want to talk you know -- sneak it. It -- me so. Kinda got a bit different than a lot of people like you know if you have to be careful because a lot of people watching question muted by Italian looked upon our.
Being terrible -- to the next question I'm wondering how often if ever Aaron does a player the -- covering whether it be in in college football or basketball or Major League Baseball. See for lack of better term come on to you. There's ever happen.
I think my Gary you're walking in -- locker room look at how and that but I think more now than ever and he missed -- like -- covering baseball. I'm old means you guys that you really can't last. I mean maybe the first year they wanted to know how about what you're Julian Florida like Jack -- huge great -- regulate what I. I know I mean you need to be getting that honestly deep I think it over my act they're likely need -- it's great are the.
Have you had problems with many players anyone and jump ugly within.
My very first year like Aaron in turning you know I'll never forget the first -- Alexander thank you -- the Major League Baseball player but now I mean you know the guys that are typical -- away. I yeah I mean they haven't made it that -- and outright you know just --
What if you're ugly you think you have a tougher time.
I I I -- I can I do think let me. Finish I don't know lawyer that we are at. -- out there in the bottom are very crazy. I would bet on it knocked.
I I got one word for -- radio if if you're if you turn ugly yet you do you do good radio.
all this is weird I don't look at myself like that read anyways.
It help I don't I Jimmy Welsh yeah opt not. I don't think. Aaron radio and on the drug was. Hey Eric turn it attorneys did did the solid based off on Tibetan. Did -- delegates out of this area -- that should we should we put aside the old tired line that the Tampa bay rays are going to wilt at some point is that done no we done with an idea.
I don't know I mean I acre lot. We moved here are from New England when I was six years old so. We all of operate act camera and you know Rick's locker got it erupted Pickett might get hit until Red Sox -- it. I -- look at the court you can't our Tampa bay -- against the white act like big whiny and they're reading it. I don't know I mean you try to think how long can keep it going especially you know I've it becomes closer and closer to the end it. I mean person on that we're -- up and stop thinking that way it should target believed that they can ever pull off but had you know I mean taking a wait they art bell. You know I want -- going to come back in but it I haven't even met the guy personable I like you're doing fine without -- it's unbelievable.
Hey how do you think Terry Francona is holding -- and you've spent time in his in his office events conversations women do you think. This job is just killing him.
I don't know about -- I mean I.
Well -- just wearing them -- I mean it doesn't. Yeah look at him say it's not good for your -- like John Patterson as many left us through the area and that's a big upgrade that. Ozzie holed -- in your opinion Aaron.
And he obviously had a ton of help. You know problems in his family you know I get back give him a hard time in cash you know the job they've allowed it to me and I. It gave O'Bryant art work closely reds who ain't got it reflect wait for the right back at radio. You know pick they're really he had seen a manager have more demands -- image media life. Rickey gets so much with neck and he'd get much with the radio he won't name after the game you know I got a nanny I am. Incident can really help any averaging eight during day. Eric gray and it's had -- and arm -- he got but he didn't shock shock at which. I'm you know it's not an easy job but I mean back I even got to territory where -- and it -- I mean it's got it. -- It is very demanding job but -- the same -- I mean guys and then absolutely. Amazing job -- it. I don't think he'd still and it if he thought it would really really big wreck or help but I don't think I worked a gap again.
They are Andrews tell us about the at Gillette 2008 Major League Baseball rookie reporter showdown will tell about.
It -- and it street corner get -- get out on my at all so actor in this week on next hundred entries. And it in the chants for it hurts I didn't find out. Which stand it have to make it reporter. Copper and I'll be countered if you got it broke Jerry what -- abstract fact that I know hopefully. And what made it eight at four. Reporters for each of the twelve -- that the Red -- for reporter. And what -- starting -- on it and it you can check out on mlb.com roster report recounted. I hit air and I throw it up and and they're outside and play and they're given like a little generic recap of the game. Bet you're going to do a little pop right back checking -- And then from that urged on distraction. Of having like that they're actually being correct. That ever happened and meet -- an act carrying act out report that they're being cracked in I think -- automated -- to see how lobbing all their quote. And that you know the voting begins now and the week of September 21. But I keep going back out there's a lot of great things including you can help well. We can't keep ticket to the World Series.
So my guess is Ezra sideline reporter you what these people to be good but not really really good right there. Is that about right.
Oh yeah I mean did you get an upbeat guy that would actually in New York during the upstart -- at a -- right up there and act -- in Chicago it well. And I get your really credit score a lot of them are a mark Allison didn't that are trying to make it in. They are asking me Clark in and stuff like act victor -- topic how Procter and you did you while I mean try to -- hopefully I have a different it's been able immediate impact -- I'm at bat -- here.
