Opening Segment

You know it seems to me Gerry Callahan the only thing better than a well play. Two hour and fifteen minute dramatic. Series clinching win by the Red Sox at Fenway Park where Jon Leicester out pitches the gas man. John lack gain the second time in five days. Is that lacking proves that he's a loser a split their eight dill weed. Don't want to use that Johnson like yeah use -- on the air go ahead try it with his post game comments contractor that's going to try to write a Dick head.

It's it's. The eagle. And -- I'm I'm just a man the -- John lacking because if I'm John lacking I I and I heard the announcers criticize him for his demeanor on the mound. Oh right out and shortstop NC state which he gets the racquet ball I'm it to my ass off -- and you clutch or choke and dogs can't field --

Team grounder Saunders that the night before the ball well he looked okay. But the last last -- got squeezed -- I now third in the era get back but it is out of school he wants winner John last year is a Lackey may be self. I don't ideal Lackey. Better horses.

What he may be induces a ground ball to short I've barking and -- induced a ground ball to third figgins throws away a ground ball the second Kendrick boots. It's a pretty good out that's pitched pretty well I -- out -- those guys out is that he didn't make the play.

And gets a hit and lacking says. A broken bat grounder and a fly ball by Pedroia anywhere else in America is that out. And the joy is pumping his fifth to second base like he did something good.

Adam -- in the year except that'll I'll little emotional bill and John Lackey. You're one shows little motion and I don't blame new L with a ground ball that did I -- booted. It was who's in those -- and yell. And and Pedroia shows a little most dislike you show little motion you don't should show more emotion is. The game issues listen to me in the game game in I'm 293 pitches. I'm not done yet. And and he's -- six months to rest up next I don't know like he has to come here is what I've beaten him before he could collect. I think. In in discussing the main -- wondered how much play of cheers and again. Is what they do stay at a given may play -- and split mean he's -- shooter game. It. Between Mike Scioscia and then -- one home plate umpire punched out to -- the ball went outside that helped that that helped me. That as a make all the difference in the world. But Scioscia trying to -- Scioscia. -- us -- squeeze play call I've ever seen. The count to a surprised -- Pretty. Good point everyone's expecting it because you're the Angel -- Angel baseball. I've -- is wet his pants up at the plate you looked ready Khaleda and I squeezed. Back and goes wrong. -- wrong and the guy. Is that the team in ninths replies well how many squeeze bunt under in in in tie games in the playoffs via an asinine as he was. Buckling under the pressure which are all seers couldn't hit couldn't field.

Yet the media better to get the bat on the ball I would like to blow away those spots yes and what. Likely this actually put the ball and -- field -- the bat on the ball and.

I think you put too much pressure on of that situation by the way the count was 2 you know let them take a pitch. I'd like to know who we had on the bench this -- socks at the plate and Scioscia doesn't have a pinch hitter. Somebody who can hit it and winning game and it bloop that we went over the -- So he's do chips how to do in the series he won eleven that was I believe. One let alone look at the numbers -- In nine hitter he's the shortstop.

To the ball. Is a lot they choke in the left to right what they do. Or an -- choked last night. You can't. Get a bat on the ball like you -- Sosa choked and I don't know as a joke march -- the debris that some people. Like that as an antique and through the I've failed.

because of the situation the circumstances this would Scioscia doesn't consider. Is some guys just can't handle the pressure. L he's got a whole bunch and it's time and understand that this is a little different and play him against the Seattle Mariners and you. And this is the worst hundred win team ever seen because. There in a bad division eclipsed in July and win it mattered. Oh when it mattered they couldn't handle on -- last John -- just man at least you know at least the Bears mean at least he kept his -- Scioscia did. Same -- Eddie Guerrero did when he. Third. Foolish base running blunder Youkilis yeah blue line for what what -- the game for -- the Angels in this is what we do. Guess Mike Scioscia everyone -- the Angels and this is what you do. So you have this it's nine in Europe. Crying. Under pressure to give them a blunt your asking him do -- everyone -- 22 gonna do it. And ask him to do to -- he's in pop. I was ago he's couldn't squeeze he's going to pop up in the going to double play a single bullet like he did on -- a double.

Mike socialists in that dugout and said -- Angels -- in the Angels that you might socialist that dugout at lunch and get a get. A bunch here as opposed making. Which is likely to happen I bar making solid contact and drive the ball hole score in the run mark. The ball on the ground and it will score from third I think probably the percentages probably about the reputation as we are what we do you thought -- easier for the misguided view. Them. I hear you I love you. Dad. Made the guy. Is that it with a guy already had a nice defensive plays almost one -- I don't know I don't remember you.

And and Francona explained you know why he didn't want to hitting in game. 323. -- three all gave everybody an either -- situation from race that if he gets on he he's just too slow we don't have pinch runner. We don't eat eat values cuts is -- let the system and he was proven right he's the greatest manager. In Red Sox history all right do we stipulate that -- ground that it was foolish taken last -- that came down -- foolish. Guys don't do. Managers don't they don't consider the pressure and how to fix guys in the pressure may be had a little bit of a negative effect -- Justin Masterson last night.

On the performance -- that's the best the best. Part of a series all bodies including virtually including you and me just oblivious to oldest he's wired. And never let the -- up. To be able to do. -- players the guys now on to beat breeds get. Too cute when you don't need a -- Crump came in and -- guys IR or -- in position -- like message. The messages we're trying to win the game Jon -- he's on his game and he's strong. And he's effective. And you don't need a breed -- why I would I would take him out. One pitch counts you know and has nothing new pitch counts Terry Francona. He knows and sees it as it is. Finger on the pulse of Jon Lester specifically and the game. -- I'd ever -- and his answer was Jon Lester after getting the last out in the seventh. -- this kind of that was last batter. I'm done I did my job over to the average guy and then get the -- one -- it was his demeanor it was Portman it was the -- leave it based last hitter -- very difficult to ask a pitcher after eight mentally checked out -- that's it I'm done. Up a lot with pitch again effectively -- oh Jon Lester if I. Ask him would have gone back out there and it's ratings passed him. But the fact is it's -- done at that point -- ask him to rev up while it's yet another that was sprinkled his explanation. That's we understand we can't look at so I'll go according according.

You we can never ever questioned any manager or any. Because they're much closer. To the situation Mike Scioscia knows I've and Francona and that's not so we can never question and question everything. -- Torre Francona -- fault for allowing less than at. That way he should be taken this is the clincher I go until I can't go any longer. He -- strong he was on his game you -- OG yeah. If you want to Papelbon that's one thing -- Papelbon. Okajima and masters and why leave the chance yeah bitches -- you get the masters and at the bottom line had visions of Grady Little against the -- 1. Could G team in that situation I know he's got his reasons and he's got the numbers but he clearly looked shaky to me. And and sort Masterson -- Bob Bradley's Masterson was flustered. And eight you know what he was taken off the hook by -- can you imagine if so most of it by by gets penchant for it just strikes out. And then figgins comes up and drugs in that run and they lose 32 and go to Anaheim. And lose that is Grady Little asked the decision to yank Lester would haunt Francona knows won two World Series and it was the greatest manager in the history of the Boston Red Sox. But that gaffe yanking Lester in that situation wood on -- to next.

They won the game. -- really notice that watch the game are full of information this morning okay they want the game no questioning the manager and pushing them as -- questioning any decisions. At -- York over the -- manager for all the right things and understanding believing. Masters and believing Leicester was done right at the time is obviously. Tiger how watch on -- definitely a better feel. It was it was that our -- and I know waited.

Second guessing but it was obviously -- mistake me clearly it was a mistake in Okajima in Masterson. He blew the game socialism. That's. What it would do all that I said so. Times and I see today. I can't cuts and Franco as the greatest manager -- Red Sox history social might be social might be the best manager in baseball it was smart he Sosa not. Great he's. Not he's great man he's one of the best managers in baseball. Scioscia might be the best manager in baseball. They they bull bowl last night Francona -- and -- think you know him from social.

That's completely disagree because in both cases both managers. Are -- and there -- there are guys wrong guys. Masters the wrong guy I've bar and land of the wrong -- Obviously -- that particular point you want to confuse me a second guessing cause it's after the fact it's all that you can masters and was was. Was blasted last night that. I -- was choked a whole series the greatest football coach in north shore pop Warner history and you should know Jerry. Advocate say. You can't let it go sit down. At it up any future pressure is a word about an -- in 2009. Point oh. Believes in masters and and -- even the World Series. It's close out game the Red -- it's game that this -- on his resume and get better for the next and the next series and the next after that. He is showing it is guys. And showing faith that our. They oh sure it's great managers fault because he -- Houston at that position and a guy fails.

On a squeeze a guy who is. Clearly his knees are knocking knees wet his pants he's been choke in the -- I thought I heard no not really -- watchable seers -- watched just an idea what to guess immediately at Pomona -- you -- you saw -- 111 and saw him Ment game 111 in the series. Completely overmatched most of the time. He had -- Two pitches would come in I think Dustin Pedroia is wetting his pants and knocking is actually got -- little -- after -- actually just asked if -- hard -- that I don't -- made any errors in the field. I'm pretty sure does that looks like guy's been there before I about looks for seven out of its. The result -- would get that double off the law does and I don't think Sampson I don't know certain pocket I disagree I don't think they should pitches for Dustin Pedroia -- okay but I would never place -- in -- San classes that's yeah that's amazing that remains on just.

I don't know I don't know the Angels personality. That -- right away -- the bench for two hours and 45 minute workout wrote -- out of the Angels. -- mean he blew a little. -- At work out for -- when he. Episode two you know planned. -- It's them against old one's priced -- in the -- It's old slow. And were honored to be in the presence of baseball genius of the two you know second guess just based we already have hours ago -- Browns do what I know exactly yeah that Mike Sochi is a complete. Moron. Actually asking number nine hitter by the way the game winning it in the game before usually -- as difficult as. On a ball and bunt down. Much easier in my estimation although for the baseball geniuses sitting next to me -- change in my estimation the ask the guy to get a ringing. In the game because I. I've failed because the guy beat his in pale but so moron in the situation right act on this situation. Could argue about more.

Would be the greatest manager in baseball even better than than Terry Francona who's the greatest manager in Red Sox history. But that was it.

Dumb move as long as we're talking about morons and doing the right thing. And by the way I am not backing off my comments that John Lackey is a loser -- speaker any deal pretty damn good pitcher. That that that's how not to. By the wasted the better team didn't witness and that's not that's how not to act when you're a loser and you're going home for the for the winter here's how not to. Act when you're a winner and going forward.

Just teases -- Manning Kia because it's good and we we need to spend time. On Manny I think you're right about this. In their head on collision course has -- this is sad as it will make me to watch him. Spraying champagne yet again and and beating Philadelphia and advancing the World Series it's gonna happen but.

It's now take a break when you hear what Manny Ramirez. Had Tuesday. During the dodgers' post game celebration as they laws. In these playoffs should not be the first sign -- but the people Los Angeles. But the people who were licking the vote him out from between. Oh payroll Carney in at -- table but I -- that aren't talking about people JJ -- put their hand out their hands that people should. To -- like -- from Boston.
