The Remdog

Fourth and final hour Dennis and Callahan the rent -- report is brought to you by Lexus of Watertown. What is more impressive than Alexis. While that would be the customer satisfaction that you receive from the single greatest most accommodating automotive general manager -- earth. Our friend general manager Billy museum the folks at Lexus of Watertown joining us now on the AT&T hotline is Jerry Remy jurors also brought you by a -- insurance at Mohegan -- a world -- play -- Rem dog how are you and I don't very well -- At the outset those last night. Nail the coffin shut for the New York Yankees or is a little birdie have to win the night to accomplish that.

Well you know I kind of felt like the as a sweep this series. The weight of the without Erin. You know kind of win atmosphere last night that that you command. It is but it -- you know late season that is late August. And as it -- additives in -- and besides the Yankees obviously it's elections. And the first I'd want that it don't blow but the playoffs. And you know last night it was ugly era means to a -- a lot of -- because it -- bowl played he'd rather do. And and it could be an ugly -- opposite number you know wrapped up -- stated that that might actually. You know -- I -- Just look at make a run as possible. But it doesn't look that way right now.

in your estimation what was the more significant. Event last night masters and getting A-Rod on the bases loaded double play to end the seventh. Or Coco scoring from second base on an infield single with Giambi a bear an embarrassingly asleep at the switch at first base.

Well he went about Giambi as you know but it doesn't want broke while yet -- get a base. If you hit that awful or aren't aren't -- community. It's intimate that brokered the well well. So it doesn't surprise that even attempted you know he's going to look at them well like -- all of St. But masses -- was. You know that the cabinet situation almost political run it is -- and the baseball. Potential tying run to get a ground ball double play. And add to. Insult the Rodriguez did all -- the -- have a big series. That is that up with a with a bomb like that you know it was -- I was pretty impressed -- Domesticity and guys that admitted he comes out -- thing. And he's a big boost for the open is no question but that.

Are you up feeling sorry for a -- Jerry 'cause I AM and these kind of become a pathetic figure I know is getting booed down there but I think. I think he needs a hug.

But you know what. You know their -- that says who -- the by the dislike it but that the other guys are great as a question but he hasn't done it. Out here -- in big games as a that it in the playoffs. And it is not an instant -- aspect in. They just can't do what I mean -- the MVP year last yeah. Kind -- product and will play out this year and in you know. And -- the -- for a long time so it's it's embarrassment relationship they have with and you know and that they respect his ability as a web yet they want to see Reggie Jackson. You know they want to -- Derek and the mall. And they have incident from. It's it's incredible. I mean those boos grew loud last night that I can remember anti yank it their stated.

And he has the show up again today you know and has -- try again today and and only for a seven and a half more years on the contract. It just seems to me that at some point you've got to say -- your odds say. Stuck and I happen foreman New York and -- in the had a chance to leave last year he didn't leave I guess. We're given credit he didn't back down from the challenge but do you think he's going to snap out of this this problem he has in the clutch in New York and any any -- soon.

Are you always expect great player like in -- do that -- but I'm just seems that. You know watching him over the years especially since he's been with the Yankees have been picked up he seems to tighten up at you know in the back at it and anybody in it just seems like yeah. -- added pressure on himself. Because of the prospect of playing here. He just hit it in in I wouldn't you know -- just last night but I I mean in previous playoff -- just doesn't look like this thing. And you know it's on a roll like it last year. That's just unbelievable but again it just hasn't happened in the past I really think that's what went with and you know. The big and again the more pressure he put himself the way you do that is where -- at the.

You know he had to rethink and seven at three bases loaded just to mess and he had to be think in Grand Slam. Instead of -- to sit single up the middle scored to give back in this game and beat the economic A-Rod going to go deep into the --

Alas I was like -- you know I mean at that I was areas you know -- the home -- at all obvious -- up and all of a sudden eleven again but. That wouldn't you know when -- like things like that most of the time it doesn't happen but a significant credit the masses to -- as. You know he made -- that it is going to be -- you know it's like they're -- ground ball and and because of the middle for a -- you know it's these politically in the ballgame but Independent of -- so. It's. The opponent erupting -- it is you know -- daily news whenever split up the hill on the -- And -- you know becomes a point lead equity I don't know -- you know and -- Want to put up with this I mean it's. I don't you know I don't want to diminish his abilities is still be one of the greatest -- this game. But I suspected as it happened at the right time or here in the arc in. Becomes a point where you know David and I have the cut ties as they were going to go another direction the look somewhere else.

Ager went went your teammate and you're looking at a young kid on the team and referring to masters and yet again. How do you know other than how he performs what your eyeball test -- that this kid or or any team -- has their heads screwed on straight because the irony of what happened last night is the most talented both highly paid player in baseball gets schooled by a newbie who's making you know ten cents on the dollar for crying out loud. -- you know etiquette like Masterson has his head on together took to be successful Major League Baseball.

A -- has been around it knowing. He's not intimidated by -- As far as August palace -- seems extremely confident in his own ability. You know he's not intimidated by being in the big leagues. It is a little bit as -- he's -- You know most societies -- couple right. It is it I think it was at some point approve you know some it's that and it is -- that a that's going to be starting pitcher but there's always -- right now. I mean just commitment as you know those are as he wants to you know those I think -- the ground while to get out. But that's like -- it's like right handers out and so you know his back -- spoiled but -- you look at some guys in. Like -- out of for example you know like last night looks unsure on the Clay Buchholz yeah I thought that was total disaster yeah I just -- And and -- you see it -- like that -- and see that -- manipulative on the horizon you know. You know these guys were intimidated and not intimidated when you look at the city just what they've all -- out.

Well clearly clearly less than had to be good for Masterson and won -- overall he mentioned Delcarmen do you think this bullpen is pretty much getting its collective act together it just the right time Jerry.

That's an division Okajima with a man who he has been out of is a question about that. Exhibition match to really help you need more consistency they'll common. Papelbon has been on. And if that you know back the back the outings. Combined the last and the threat over the week and also last night it is stadiums so. And you know hopefully it is always together and I I've always said -- beginning what's gonna make it altogether as Okajima. Because he just makes quite a reverie about everybody out it makes it difficult to manage. You know because the that it brilliant at right as a left and is out. And also a case you know -- has been over the last three weeks. Oh then you're a little bit from open where a month ago.

what will Mark Kotsay is job the apparently. They have closed the deal that will bring him in here. I guess. You you know he's left the you have you have Ellsbury of Chris. -- and unknowns movement Jason Bay what do you think kotsay will be this is a great defensive player but not a great hitter. What do you how how they use them.

Well I would -- you know not knowing a lot of it will last but it is I would think that they would use in a way that it was healthy. Probably played against right handers. -- will be back percent of illicit Coco. Against left it is you know just go to other ways so. That's my guess -- I really don't know what the deal as he's said.

Gordon needs is reporting that. The deals given -- and.

As somebody that he's somebody out there and it needs some back up it is an insurance because of this short of.

I saw you saw that would Ellsbury rim in the wall you send all guys who play does Jeff Bailey play. With the outfield you call lists of who plays now if it Ellsbury --

Exactly did they do need another body out you know that the -- as the pot but and so it went again. And sacred and you know with a of six basis is in and provide a boost in you know -- Given it was given some that they've just leave it right.

This is -- holes injury that -- is this mysterious thing you know and how long it takes what's your sense being around the team. When lol we'll be back in the lineup.

Well I talk to him yesterday and he was feeling great about so but yet I don't know aways away from. Plain ignorant you know he said that. They -- balls roll. It was eight creativity it yesterday. And I guess they said that it was -- you know that's critical because. -- that. We have hopefully. -- that's probably -- most important so are you a lot so it goes with that but he was pretty -- You know about the -- well yesterday. Against -- that -- in the baseball activities you know that's what you find out. You know exactly how are on lot of I think I went -- I'd have to say that you know -- that an injury in the back the you know he's just starting this week sabbatical it looked at you know next few days have been back Atlanta's -- going to be awhile.

Page Gerry obviously injuries are never good but contributes over aligning at the other and and the tunnel for Beckett and Lowell having had a little -- down time in getting ready for the September crunch.

Yeah. Yes I I'm although I'm still a little bit concerned about backed it you know. I wanted to get Friday night I want to see if they ate -- Friday night and have no lingering effects from what he'd been through. You know the following day -- to look forward to it mean. You know I guess yesterday at a real good side sessions -- pain apparently great news that Friday night. That's -- post Friday night in the credit goes well then -- So much better of epic because deficit -- concerned about it when it's -- and that is he -- to what you think about -- on the DL well that doesn't. And I think it was very concerned about two. So. Report says they look good that's good news over Wilson you know it's all about the Friday and -- it is and against finished.

In spite of a year's worth of great work by Jon Lester you'd thought -- around here during one bad performance in -- are looking for reasons and I'm wondering. Is there even a -- or a little bit concerned the Jon Lester if my numbers are correct. Already -- what innings passed his largest inning count ever and that may be Lester is hitting the wall little bit here.

I don't think so I really don't I think the other -- read a book I didn't. Yeah. And make really good pitches up the number of pitches up in the zone and the way they would swing of the bat against the reds expect of a local might I really studies on. He's -- bounce back. This as a bullet proof is that -- he would. And and and I don't I don't look at that one out of this okay that's -- at least -- it all back Agassi anymore but it's jobless but I don't believe that. -- about practice art.

A lot of people out here as you know -- a lot of Red Sox fans stay after the check out the Red Sox game they look over at LA Dodgers the other doing. Root against Manny hope Manny you know and goes off before or maybe notably pitcher it takes a fastball on the ribs. Yet they're now eleven for third eleven and thirteen since acquiring Manny and fallen fast though west. In the club most of these guys keep an -- nominees do and and -- happy for a -- they rooting against them like we are.

I don't negated but it -- make their two power. I think that the majority of at all because well in I watched the beginning of the -- against the Phillies. It was Sunday night. And you know he's -- slump right now but that that that's that -- in Europe and they. You know -- That's issues that that these are as -- It is a break. You know it's amazing though -- division below 500 and allowed but it's not a good. He brought Spock. At every as well. But that -- that I have that -- deficit and when you know -- in the it is not so. I don't think anybody rooting against them I really don't you know a matter of fact I I missed an open. Get really -- is in the playoffs because. I think that would be like you know related but in them but. You know -- Just got a very good thing I mean that is when it's simple it's up what by the Phillies. I think between well now the -- division. And so I don't. You know -- me.

But what about Pedro that root against Pedro.

I what you know I watched that wasn't the.

Seven now than it was last night's seven not than.

Well but that in 86 series about that's and that's that. But he because to me this. I'd have a sorority the in the stretches in Austin. And you know to see him go from that the world is now. To be pretty sad but. He's built by a pitch and smile about the whip. Get away. You know what because spot though his changeup. But you know when he makes statements as well -- you know they light them up so -- You know these these guys leave let me in the we think about the guys who swept -- the results have not been really good or.

Major anybody who's paying attention knows that many recent cooling off period is not Manning's fault Joe Torre made him cut an inch off the air and many said -- were in the hair. I -- this is about you do.

I've missed it because. You -- stated they which they. That doesn't mean the reds back in oh. Worst of me as odd you know matter of fact they're playing great right on you know it's it's it's nice and quiet no. Commitment every day that would about this issue with that issue they just hope -- yeah -- deal with injuries of course but I mean this decides that but he gave just too much. What else out brake you know really I had a devastating effect I think in the second at. You know I hate to say that they like beat but the fact is to be in wait -- too much in and I was I was really -- as was everybody else. So. You know and Bay's organized job by me. Yeah as the wild that -- one of those guys that you know who are you know look at is what they've been everything he does is dead and he's been good for the reds back so but it's a totally different atmosphere really is it's it's quiet -- they play baseball ago.

you don't strike me as an overly emotional guy or very missed Celtic but he that a tear up tomorrow after the game when you leave Yankee Stadium.

I'm not going to there but I will -- I write you know life as I said last and -- and so I mean. It is is very special place with as a as a baseball player in the first I'd walk in that place. And and and you know look at how big it is a huge it is is that that they go all the great moments in the great players in its intimidating. And you know of course we'll let you know up in the late seventies that great rivalry with the Yankees in you know like I said everybody -- notion. You know in making movies handles the even people and I -- moment in which immediately knew it. So it was at its its job and that is it though we have that I look across the street and they -- this gorgeous beautiful. You know replica Riviera stating going up that I think is going to be incredible. You know so we start over in the ballpark but this. There was always something special about about playing at the -- in this crowd is different and wear a baseball. Bob Sheppard. In producing it was a play again ought all of -- all that put together yes. Can't help as a player but a -- it but. But I gotta go with no place all of the amenities. They configuration. So hopefully you know. Open would have summit at Yankee Stadium mystique that the I'm not going to tear up. But I I I will admit that I really will --

Our Rem dog that you're on noticed I get two more days feel like rip a seed out put your briefcase or are.

you know what I did what I want that open in his pocket little Bud Selig at a wreck. -- aspects of product outs in the early but we finally move as an Olympic that the so.

The door stopper a paper away yeah when I got to. Our red dog -- next week okay thanks for the time the red report brought you by Lexus of Watertown. What is more impressive than Alexis well that would be the customer satisfaction you'll receive from general manager Billy -- And the grateful to some water.

Yeah we lost seven lead and you don't play good baseball to coast baseball. Two on the double plays from the head to. We could and home they got to -- to right time we -- like one not a way. When nobody -- could get it done.

One of the day for a New York baseball fans your mats flawless seven to nothing away I think the New York papers missed a golden opportunity for headline. Out of its evidence seven. A-Rod seven LOT good good good one -- Pedro Williams have a second half mile and yet that's 7UP good -- and it's that a back page daily news it was -- rod who rod blew rod the.

Good of nick well and so on Stuart Scott's ex.

League will -- this tournament Jerry but Jerry Manuel your Mets manager wasn't gay marriage thing nearly twice and the Phillies who throw and I'll -- you and it was a -- to seven in thirteen innings Pedro Martinez on the mound and -- stay out of the day. This team -- 47 -- when he was staked to a seven run lead in his starts according to -- It's not 47 and one on because I didn't city 86 mile per hour fastball that -- to -- a -- loopy but yes you -- and fifth. Yeah since -- game winner for this was on the line yeah yeah there was. Who significant. In the scheme of things for the Mets at that the Phillies kind of home them. What happened last year by Jimmy Rollins buy tickets. Jamie Moyer went three innings gave up nine hits and did factor in the decision yeah. Our park about the catcher post at one wins the game of the thirteenth -- edited -- he was four for four. To see who did it -- or on the gaming there. One -- You know Rudy secrecy and.

Its final three Rudy Seanez yes yes Scott Schoeneweis lost the game. At this do you know thirteenth inning the allows only option put Shane Victorino to intentional walks and a game ending up one out RBI single. Schoeneweis says -- talked to the man in the chair. He barked presumably referring to manager Jerry Manuel and it that a single and then two intentional walks yes. But it pitched in a -- ball is perplexing strategy. Yes that they've blown ten leads in ninth and in the -- that's one ninth inning on the lead and hand. Column Mickelson. The nephew Jeremy -- Scott Schoeneweis is now out of the -- family. But the Red Sox this just in A-Rod still has not reached first base after grounding into a double play in the seventh inning jogging down the line -- mention Larry again yeah what to signal.

Ohman and put his hand in the go to sleep easily -- in new era knowing goes has meant on a stroke of our own. Isn't I don't know if you still wouldn't down but not achievement you can look at -- you turn the lights on -- felt -- of that but. It took risks are ticketed assemblage upset Turkish says Michael -- of them and it. -- Milf. -- That was pretty difficult play against -- was and throw the throw on one day. Yeah and -- were to roll news it was doable that threatens and anyone want him and make the throw on daily and then there was one -- if you made the play brings out his arm write anything and there are on the list it's up after the game though in space the music.

Today we suck I suck at -- terrible they're hit balls all over the place on the corner at third base and and I left men all over the field. Andy you know we women's team we lose -- same. And tonight you can put -- me. If he wants to talk about.

She's still make 28 million dollars that is like -- but it is ten years and 275. Million connections. So he's going to that's it was 42. Underwear at this -- is 300 -- 42. 305 million dollars with -- all the incentives and everything else you play every day -- and sometimes and unedited and you know it's mark can't come fast enough I mean earning greater war. And that's. In my opinion yes those last games against Baltimore last hearings he's going to rate he's a pro ball so I told -- last three and a book. It probably I don't know the fortieth on around the area it's about it for a ride here. Not so much 1050 runners in scoring position one for timlin bases loaded he's one for fifteen against the Red Sox in the with a did exactly. Half as many RBI and last year. 256. And -- Ago and -- about the play by Jason Giambi. Pathetic. That is embarrassing. How the -- dog in the arsenal even noticed. Go on him his lead in the field but certainly noticed -- New York Giambi is gaffe cost yankees' headline daily news. Said the ball skipped up off the grass. And I couldn't get a handle on on it to throw us. I couldn't tell what the umpire said so I went back to the umpire. I didn't know if you compensate for outs is that funny though run -- he's afraid to throw him Knoblauch thing and by feigning like he knows you know the proper. But you know what he made the -- that the deal was wrong -- I think he's out Coco Crisp yes I think he's ago. And I knew Chris was flying because Osama out of a -- my allies. It's gotta stay back to make sure -- that you handle that is deep in my glove and I couldn't get an out in the witness if you don't know whether the umpire called him safe or out coach just assume that he statement you make you throw the ball -- it. I'm just under I guess I'm just saying it is -- to -- girl has imminent center Kia -- over. And Giambi at first union doesn't belong there -- like Ortiz will rise in the DH's. And they can afford decent backups. Know well they just signed nine year old Gerald post got me to start tonight's. When they realized as the guy -- Yankee -- today you're on the precipice just wanna be kind to say they have one more chance when the next. -- Sidney Ponson. And now serves certainly wrong about last night. Seven why you don't bet on baseball I know that -- versus -- Wakefield wasn't great the Wakefield is not good -- that secede from fruit are better too little. At all. Johnny Damon half bass weighing -- the off solo home run.

I mean he was illegal not so good they were so high not close and they hit them and he's lucky that that it was even worse. But look at it look at points on the last off -- at Toronto two innings eight hits. Loses. Seven runs last against the Red Sox this year -- one. Four innings at fifteen point 75 ERA. Career against the Red Sox in this -- Three and twelve. With a Igawa six.

That'd careers. To another don't have as in his career. Probably a good idea -- lives there is the chants. Mean he stinks. Is awful as there's no way should be companies or might shut -- that I. And and it doesn't help that he does is wont cost anything can happen. It suits and sent tennis pitcher for the Mets tonight Utecht or stamina looks at that game is one point 17 in his last three starts is three you know. Dot and you could had him for what's the Ian Kennedy. And Philip Hughes and Melky Cabrera is now the college report with the youth movement tetris or not a good year for Joe Girardi mean not now at all know.

And Jerry is Jerry mentioned with a remedy the Gordon news report on Yahoo! Sports now that's the only. Verification I guess that we have on this right now -- down on the wires but at this hour. Is these reports they did acquire mark marked spots today. From the -- pending a physical. Appraisal -- minor league pitcher in return if the pitcher passes a physical while physicals and -- and yeah. You know not a die on the forty man roster reports W yeah I'd dot com's rob Bradford but this -- of it's it's a good move for Boston as no there's no real risky but risky is it cuts his pact doesn't allow on the play.

Yeah with a bad back to replace ago about yeah yeah -- instincts I mean good. It isn't it with interest yes there's something he's the little. Please yes it while it's not that interest aren't wasting. What Stewart Stewart's got a boost the -- interest. --

Let's see Stuart Scott had to sit down with one Barack Obama -- And then asked to Iraq that it was a hard hit it's whether it's uncomfortable in his -- spoken word yeah asked him if you had a boycotts and the Chinese games. Like thirty over unlike unlike if you present president if you're president might. Of course George you're set there with Vladimir Putin talked strategy. Stewart but that was a bad move for George ago.

Well I served her Julio. I don't want Olympics to be overly politicize. Glad when the host country. Is violating human rights I think we have to say so. Bad to it would have been an appropriate statement for the president to say. I -- not go to the opening games. I'm less we've seen some progress on the issues of Tibet.

So you think president Obama will boycott the Olympic Games in all fourteen when their Russian. I'm -- you know the opportunity. Meet -- you know -- you what do you think Jerry the question come up with Stuart Scott sits down and Sox face with a Obama. You can talk about boycotting the Olympics yeah sweet talk them but I don't know -- is that -- jump shot that -- a basketball.

I'm in -- Chicago there so. I'm -- Walter -- question it was religious right or would you like manager vital president again if you ball in the world the sports world. Doesn't lose. The head of horses have won. The presidency -- this development of that that would be bet -- just people in the third period of the last shot.

And they play one on one instance god let's -- got -- let -- according Big East teams. Not much of an athlete I was wearing goggles and a fumble -- and -- and -- man hug hug and oh yeah -- this is a shock incident did in the face with a ball like to do with the Jets I'm -- gets all the footage average and carry the cable guy totally worth a go to -- doing it. So it's there it's. Get rid of play Obama. That it atop the black the black Sox for the white shoes were a bit much you know it was a bit much of -- Pistons -- the styles Aaliyah does net gain of substance that no substance or -- Cubs fans though with with.

The Cubs been nice we go to Wrigley Field through. The beautiful people. People are watching the game. As -- and White Sox that's baseball south side south side.

Wild ideas people through that started that's good for pole position there was a lot of votes he was -- the edit that out. We designed this radio stations specifically for people like to talk sports. Sports it even more school so I can song we -- yeah this -- that WEEI Sports Radio network.
