The Remdog

For the final our depth and talent and the -- reported broad view by Lexus of watered down. What's more rest of the Alexis well that would be the customer satisfaction you'll receive. From the greatest general manager in the history bottom motives are for -- wc and the folks at Lexus a -- of good morning Rem dog hole aria. Don't fine -- Ivan champagne on your Rem dog we're winning now. I was I was -- watching the celebration and can't. -- Jerry let me start you out with -- un answerable question but I know you're given a shot. The Red Sox popping champagne if Manny stays.

And yeah I think so. I don't. I think you know -- god god knows what many governors like papacy I don't know you know people at and political as a way split with the Dodgers have a Beagle in the same thing but I will say this in you know I've always been admitted back. The fact is adjacent their -- and -- down and everything immediately quiet down and all the focus on playing baseball. And I think that made huge calming influence -- that club house and you know I know what in the world. Can predict what happened at any state in the second half of the season what do you continue to be admitted -- bad boy. Well a minute ago -- player but he new contract like you do it right now. With the Dodgers nobody could answer that question. -- that reason alone and I agree a 100%. That movie jet Benny. At a media calming influence on everybody nobody said the talk about Manny no reasonable about this guy play and and that planned. And I also is adjacent bed -- which has bludgeoned played out a couple of months. This guy plays the game the way it's supposed to be played it and he runs everybody -- BP about double plays he keeps getting a lot of you know it's a totally different animal and you know -- and -- you which has little policies.

Is that why when baseball players refer to other baseball players as professional they're talking about the Michael walls of the Jason bays of the.

Our world our ultimate professionals yeah ultimate. -- become an epidemic. They keep their mouths shut they duque -- and they play of the game they play at the right way when their when they do something wrong they hold themselves accountable for it. And you know yeah you're exactly right if you've -- manual for young players getting brought that I spoke out say in professional baseball player. And you have a cap blood Mike Lowell Jason Bay that would be immediate first rate.

A manager I didn't think these celebration was over the top this time -- all -- Papelbon didn't put a lot beer -- on his head and didn't do the river dance even though they played his song and Rodney courses or anything. But it didn't seem like a team that has its. It's mind set on gold for the division title looks like a team that's already resigned itself the fact that it's going to be the wildcard in going to play. The Angels is that the way you see it.

I think Sergio you know you don't trust the -- as players it's our deepest and it. Anticipate are you gotta deal because -- much as we could have side hit a last month but you know -- the playoffs. Well until you get that quite a lot -- you know that's in quite -- relief because you know you're one of fourteen in the American and in the American League record in the playoffs so. You said gold number one another instrument through the players. And you know you don't know how people -- to react to that -- I would I would find it boring if it was just okay -- in all now we move on the next step. I think it is -- believe that look we've got this for his goal accomplished. Well Ed Ed now let's move out from here. And the next -- will be obviously do which was well it doesn't look real good right now I think the -- understood some like that. You know people want to play the Angels and get themselves ready to do that and you know or you'll if you you know I have to take myself back some time because Serbia watch and I'm not going to the playoffs an awful lot. So by the fact there's you know they're the guys on the -- forming everyday with a question -- we get that job done. And I think once that kicks it finally happens you get caught up in the emotion so. But big goal you know they've got enough guys around that have been around that have been the World Series I want a World Series. They know what the ultimate goal as we've got every step away and it has some sort of celebration this -- that was something to get there.

Especially this 150. Some games he did you think they'd look at the Angels and and feel like underdogs and we have the numbers. And it was -- one this year all the Angels dollars good numbers all the Red Sox those of lousy numbers against the Angels. Look at that the players I mean I think that boy we're up against that going in Anaheim.

Well I don't think so I think that they did they know they're going to play very good thing I mean did you know -- as they announced -- know that that. They got plenty in that that's better than they've been in the past. But the Angels absent -- and and and you know of the wreck it is the best record right now but let's not forget that there also in the worst division. In the American League in India -- in the west so that's going to -- that a little bit taking nothing away if needed players that they have. In the playoffs the past Lackey hasn't been very good shields is -- at Fenway Park I mean there's a lot of things. That you know they've got a lot of post overcome. You know when they go into the playoffs and I think most things will creep into their mind. Are more than effective they beat the Red Sox you know that'd -- did you in the regular season post it is totally different I mean Goodell would have expected a year ago. When it was cut back the federal it was CC sabathia Fausto Carmona bank yet again. I make you gotta be Jeremy. So you don't you don't know what's going to happen when the whiteout spots open they've still doesn't actually not they respect that of course they do. And they're very good game you know regular -- do the best in the American League right now. And they've they've been handled well that's such policies along the does that mean ministers a three out of five series the president give beautiful of course not it depends on you know it is the best.

Jury has has organization lines up its pitching staff for the post season and obviously everybody thinks back it's going number one. How much weight does Daisuke is great road record and Jon Lester is great home record. Have been Tito's decision as to pitch Daisuke in game two Lester in game three or not at all.

I think it's -- attitude outside and oh lead but helping change. You of these contention this from day today. Are there over the week and I -- somebody who was in the know about who would be game two pitcher that said that we Jon Lester and so. Because I was so you know what our system what. You know other want to play as they what is -- Wednesday at Thursday. I don't think it matters and I think that. Must will be the number two I think Matsuzaka great. And then if you can't afford. You know I don't know that's going to be yet I really don't.

But -- then sets aside their records on the road in the -- apparently there if if what -- sources telling you his true. They'll put a lot of weight behind how well Lester pitched to Fenway and how will those -- on the road.

Exactly and I think it they've got a audio in my in my opinion I mean who's been -- it must have been the best that you run in the second half of the season. Why would that brought -- you know I mean I'd that that. That committee is I don't know I would do what what you know nobody was some reason like you just mentioned a minute visit benefited if we do -- that's -- I don't well. Well fired up while all of the next couple days it. You know and that's what's going to be you know for the next few days -- figured out what this roster is going to look like what the pitching rotation kind of -- that's all that stuff. You know heading into the playoffs so but you know it's our I don't know at this point it'll be back at one left that --

And if they start on Wednesday it's up to the Angels then they don't need a forced correct -- and you heard. And the Carolina.

it would -- it was better.

Are you well we just went through the skins what does it mean either Wednesday. Like what in the.

Of the future so that they are not your -- the belt that would be what went very.

It's well then -- it's Wednesday Friday Sunday Monday Wednesday for series but he.

what you what you would need that third and it's what I think the Anderson school of thought but I credit the Angels would prefer. They have their fourth article against the reds but -- well everybody -- they opt for the other option. I I don't know an opposite Lleyton complicated some very. Play of the game what it would happen. They've done it both ways they've won both ways it lot of wild in the one of the first flight if they want a different format. -- there over the next couple -- probably and be paper the ball by the it and what we know what they've got -- That the lives. But I think the most important thing for the Red Sox is all of that they'd be rule and lol LP. They've got probably at least misses when they at least the week the first game -- they'd like. Well that's quite a long time. And hopefully they get so I'd bat -- the lineup because that would certainly help is that it would debate in the spotlight -- every you know -- I give them about a lineup is the more depth on the -- And it's really make -- better even though have been I would be watching you know quote of the lot.

You think go on the games that David plays between now and the end of the season we might see him at first base just in case. --

Could anything about that at all -- little.

With -- In and you could third. Doesn't make sense value coast play a little -- Casey is not David approval for me and David to play a little first -- at least. Last night didn't appear to be the defensive player that he once was.

Well yeah but you know they've -- at all you're either right in the -- maybe even Italy -- also. I think it would Florida Casey at first base or maybe even kotsay at first base. You know that -- all of a sudden they're they've got he's the love an eagle video -- of five games there isn't brought out yet I really don't think that's going to.

Do you think that he too rigid you do Christians that you're -- I guess you believe it how was JD's back.

I doubt all quoted I go to yesterday had another epidural. Which apparently did that at some Gooden supposedly he had on the field yesterday which we did see. Now I guess the big question is what does it feel like Woody gets the ballpark today you know you know yeah I don't -- the -- I feel pretty good and then it is an activity and then you know it flares up again so I don't know will find out today. In have been it was encouraging -- happen you know other thing about it much importance and drove has been able that's a good site. So. You know I I've been through -- where I've taken shots in my back in you know some work some -- And if you probably want to collect it and you know you gotta be okay so. Well we've just clicked and they got the right spot you know they got it right on with the areas that need to be taken care of the inflammation come down enough worries -- able to perform so I think you know the most important thing will be go to the ballpark -- NCR responded from there's there's what company idealistic.

That we had talked about Red Sox MVP candidates to get the sense that you Kalus is closing the gap a little bit on Dustin Pedroia.

Yeah I had to go back and -- about the flood and and you know I got a week ago when it was Pedroia and then last night after the Duke was at the home run what it is none of -- can -- change -- the -- divisional Lawton hasn't. And they're worried they're going to show and I had Pedroia is going to be paid now vacant. Maybe I thought you know I mean bald guys legitimate candidates without even one of them have probably been out in the auto outs. And then you know like it to me they're both both equally. Indifferent ways MVPs of this club. And you know like I don't know if they -- that about -- is a guy. You know you EG thousands of first of bird he put him in the cleanup spot up Ramirez please respond the most of Monday's in his career he's got over a hundred RBIs. That's -- to overlook. The other side which pissed -- overlook -- and second -- you along you know also is public I don't know the numbers that they have. So it's it's a very great that calculation and and just sort of right now -- floated -- I'm waffling.

Hey do you think. -- Jed -- some good -- You know yeah clay they'll look like the same hitter I almost want to hit right because he looks bad lefty.

Well guy I think you'll get a few days off you know once this thing -- find out -- The division and you know which which could be I doubt that I possibly. I wouldn't be at all surprised it yet they give him a couple of days -- uncharted territory -- up duty you know people don't realize how difficult it is. The guys to come -- up from triple a level at that extra month of the season. And that extra month of the season when -- with the Red Sox for the most you know recent past has been playoff -- atmosphere baseball. And that's tough and Agassi -- to get up as a young player be thrown into those situations an have to perform. And and the fatigue factor that sets and the guys that -- at a cost of playing under 62 game schedule. And I think a little bit of that as catch up to my pick a little bit of pro scouting is -- up until. -- on the way to pitch to him to get about so I think a couple of days off you know working on some things -- gave him a little bit arrest. Sometimes you pop back you know very flush after that and I think that's exactly what they'll do this week at some point.

It Rem dog -- your opinion which of these Red Sox -- b.'s do you think. Most feels like they've died and gone to heaven kotsay bay KC Byrd Masterson or Lowry who we've been talking about.

Well young guys in all of their government through this before I kind of feel for the guys like very. Who have never been to a playoff -- in Pittsburgh. You know -- out of the race with three months left in the season. You know who has been a very solid player but it may -- career to come over to this atmosphere not be fazed at all and -- performed well. And all of a sudden saying I'm in the postseason is the first time -- I beauty got to feel good for a guy like that. And it is a good guy he's glad they set very professional does his job. Those -- the kind of guys like mr. rewarded you know the young guys saw kind of mood of that you know that it's almost like. The at all they've been in the organization is our -- also go postal derby. You know them want to realize you know the bad times and about a guy like Barry has as as I've played a bad times over Pittsburgh. And it come here and I'll be part of this like it's like rule book I had bad -- feel real good form you know about that.

now with the new policy you expect embassy and number two up there on the right field facade.

At a picnic ownership -- I'm happy for John. You know we -- quite sexson and you'd better every the upon us we go to red -- uniform. You know you have to -- the uniform often -- off the field. You know always we all know what he's studied -- giving his to get anybody New England doesn't have his autograph and they don't have -- won't all -- available. I I you know I I I went it was it was cutters you know. Are just a little bit of the last couple years you know but I -- last he. He was in the -- but I walked in the get a cup of coffee Eddie -- said he -- cited similar past people so around atoms like just what that message -- congratulations well deserved. The attitude coming now preside so you know this guy's lost a lot of great close friends over the last couple years as well -- life. This is your life. This is his life -- it always has been -- life. And I I'm looking for the Friday I really am because. You know it's it's gotta be special and nobody broke tradition but I guess if there's anybody around. The break before he'd be exact.

Run -- leave you with this question and and give it some thought before you -- out an answer is -- seem like a long time ago. Or --

I'm going to Tokyo -- about -- As. That. This has done and familiar you know one of the law initiative of the -- it's all started because it's okay. And I will never realized that nothing goes like people of Japan. A little nervous like they -- it now is go play baseball in. The rest of my life now. I don't think I don't I don't think I'd probably that was sort of bench for three weeks well -- third that was that's yet to distant memory now but it's one -- they got a good player that.

Right well -- the west coast is -- nearly as far -- I'm sure Akamai and that's -- nearly as much down time. I don't know if that's the odds running all.

Join us listening -- and joining us -- in the playoffs.

That's not right I had ever called us from last year again this is right. And isn't that -- operate mindless -- things in the world -- Lyon I don't know I doubt it doesn't still don't know what games he's working on TBS.

The group aren't a lot of I don't knows quite what split series that it looks megabyte beat Tampa bay and whether a leg up like. Whether pitted when Chicago. So while I think I think that's the one has -- I don't know that that's that's so fluid situation at TB yes.

They contact you know. He's busy run and -- that restaurants that Rem dog enterprises to deal with.

Belliard LB and -- be on the up reimposed and that's getting home at 3 o'clock in the morning obligations and -- be love and.
