Looking back -- had to be five years since Ted Kennedy made that absurd charge. -- -- ridiculous it is. How politicos a political game work and out senator for the president anyway back to my point. They saw how viciously. He was attacked and how it worked you know he became the evil anti Christ. When in their hearts -- -- we really wasn't but they had to create this boogie man and they did. And before. Anyone is allowed even. The year in that direction with the new with the chosen one. They're not going to suppress the in the NC. You know on the fairness to read. Invoked here. You know that the tentacles reaching the civilian security was banging on to a they're not going all to -- oh. That to happen to their massage and a lot said. You know what that was just we destroyed the president with who's struck. Thing you know he's evil and he went get killed people for royal little crazy. Accusations but they stock enough to get him -- his approval rating down to nothing. And. Don't want that to happen their guy about what is the more difficult task at hand for. Whomever that loosely defined group is. To attack the presidency. Both personally and as an office and bring him down to the point where someone who just has the same letter. After his name and is a candidate for the president has no shot all our. To protect the guy. And not have to invent things and create things and -- stories out there but just to protect your guy once he's -- is that heart. Welcome back fourth and final hour Dennis and Callahan you -- often wonder -- athletes do with all of their time in the off season. When they're playing season is over well if you're. Red Sox DH David Ortiz what you do. If you organize the David Ortiz first annual by the way David Ortiz celebrity golf classic in his native Dominican Republic it runs December 4 through the seventh. It's at the gorgeous sanctuary captain of golf and spot and most importantly it direct funds to the David Ortiz children's fund. Which is dedicated to raising money for children in new England and the Dominican. And providing access to pediatric care they need to live -- productive lives. Going to talk with David about just that project a little bit later on in this conversation -- get a pencil ready to them and have a website for you and a phone -- as well for -- talk baseball with the big -- David Ortiz -- morning David how are you. It went on finding the worst thing about being injured everybody asks you about the injury so that they walk up Q on the street so I guess we're no different how is the wrist poppy. It -- recruit very. I AM they -- sometime love right now. I his Capone working. I don't think. Bedard to told that there's some demo swearing in in. And that's been broken. By then the next month. I'd be able to lure tourists during any game in and feel better. You said very little about it and in fact only addressed it when the media members came up to you in the locker room you didn't use that as an excuse clearly bothered you now that the season is over and your moved away into the offseason. Can you tell us just how limiting the injury was whether by percentage or about what it did not allow you to do with a -- David. Well. There's not a surprise. Formed all on. But without that was sort of a bonus is that the hard way and so as. When you're injured your hand. If there's pretty much you're everything remaining. And they might have to swaying to six with two who have been -- my bed and when I and injured my -- is that you was -- so. Something that keep me out. Swinging like I normally do. In doing what I get back maybe. Had less pain but. My swing totally change and it was because there's still hope that particular go to my written and -- -- time it was. Sorrowful for and from when they came in many ways I'd take it would they do -- that the recuperate. And -- wouldn't want him back. On the podsednik. Normally -- civil. Let the world it was just deal -- -- that you could -- -- told me. Before I go back I was going to be. Are you convinced David that or -- convinced you. That that clicking will be gone in the wrist will be fine by April. Yep yep definitely will be. It is like this surprises that's what that's what. One I got injured yet just want to head that. Provide me now -- over my head so. The leader -- men. We'll go back to look at the -- And but I take that I have an older one and another position put -- -- remote -- Either way. I think I will be meeting with -- so cool start feeling better and that was the reason why I came -- all the -- eliminated the surgery. But out what I get back. Might attend the worst. Do not know I don't play into our back afforded that way people garden. But. He told me that there was going to be you know you an idea of freedom pay you and be feeling but partly that and did you reduce. That's bring an end and then there's some time off to Portland trying to. Two part question how what percentage worry you when it came to effectiveness at the plate. In October and going forward what you have to wrap the wrist and and -- some precautionary -- when you play going forward. Well there -- -- Milosevic security process. And now. If Friday as -- wasn't able wasn't able to -- Paper too much because. It was like putting too much pressure and on and it was just didn't work so. I don't -- it -- -- one. We were as bad as it was right. Something that I can. I came brought the salon and not putting too much pressure and so. We're going to be able to swing the bat but it was going to be it was decided that. Obviously things are different around here at Davidson to -- has won two titles but the appeal. Like. You missed an opportunity when you when you lost Tampa day even though even on the one more in the regular season and had a good year. A -- or do you feel like it was a good successful season for the Red Sox this year. Well it wasn't as selfless system that was because we didn't get what we wanted to ready wanna. Want to do what -- -- when they're worse serious and and it was a lake lake would have been good lately you know but. I can't tell you one thing. We. We wouldn't let -- -- injuries this year we have a lot of that is going to. Days without Dave Manny situation. And we feel we a lot of things -- longest field. Either team with the best record in going to be I an Angel. And quote by go into the second run in the you know we don't -- them -- everybody knows that double play better than. The very much everybody in America he would. And move within that close to the go to the worst series of course we didn't. Do it we have Beckett injury. Myself. We don't want to move might do well we have a lot of guys -- We look at the fight to -- that I via. But evidently whatever we do hopefully we we are but they've got -- and an impressive but it would go. I'll obviously guys are set at most positions more more set more stable than I ever remember you. This team going into the and of the year but what you mentioned needing another. Thirty home run guy yesterday. What position would that guy play and we don't know wood is but if you could have you your choice where would that -- play. Well to you one thing. If you -- that would send you to go to bed decades. Morris and got on the Riviera is a -- out of position sort of guarantee. I don't know. What can I now -- early can be anywhere -- those people are guys that -- -- numbers like let's say Miami ended with a W it all the way over on the. When you say another thirty home run guide you mean in addition to your thirty plus and Jason Bay's thirty plus so we're talking a third guy David. You know we don't -- Bartow. Above Mark Teixeira. I've never never a bad word about him as a ball player he's available now. Would you be disappointed if your team didn't make a run that at least make an honest effort to sign him. Well I hate that they won that we have. A lot of big -- coming out in these years. And we definitely. Contender in the open and somebody could be. We know that we had to compete. This year it is because. You're you're gonna get stronger. And ready. So those who worked -- okay capable to do. Those guys got a culminating this deal more experience. The conclusion they had a great passion that your biggest post time. And you know knows that I would reverse of the American people what you definitely need to get stronger. Polluters at midseason and that's where it. I played much. So he didn't say that we could have ever pro here. Then they really have poked in the bullpen because that is ditto. Statistician. But I'm trying to and then you know I love the competition I'd like to win a lot of plays to win. And we had the best says everywhere around and we are very giving very. The best of the best. David I don't know if you ever discussed this in length fairly or not in the years past when many wasn't speaking. The media would come to you for comments about what Manny was thinking what many want might do would you consider to be many friends fairly or not accurately not I'm not exactly sure. How -- their relationship was or continues to be but I guess the point to question is David were you disappointed. In how many conducted himself. This season that had him sort of shoot his way out of town from the Red Sox to the Dodgers. Wellemeyer and situation a lot of tough situation. For the game for our society of -- for have a supply where. He used to rent to -- It would be. That are running -- at a news. For the past two years and then. And there was something that those getting worse and worse and worse Soviet last year was was one -- -- here that you just. Chill and then and and went to lose business and and we've sort of where. You were so loud talking and I gave myself quite quite that much every year -- -- -- -- -- that. Because. We Amanda were pretty close. And it was because to deploy that are. Come out and took him because we were going to local situation. And you'll -- up. But the situation and and inspired. Everything just goes down we will. Playing do we we we were pretty good contender nobody -- please. And -- you just don't wanna change this whole thing. Just knowing that you're the cleanup is the best hitter in the game in and end. And people who usually what was Arnold is so. There was our game. Pretty much are you. -- rented two totally made you have make a good job easy. It is because. You guys are the -- Olympic almost porno -- evidently doesn't oppose an open. Saying yes sector he he definitely. I do Mahan -- And it's very much everybody -- a bit overall and was I was gonna start -- -- told letting a look. There a number of Europe what do you local -- And you have never been able to win an MVP there's a reason why it. You know and then in the media days of traveling the media but because you've had a far want to whereas that they go to -- -- -- so typical. People rotation. Read him bad things what I do that is the same way you -- me you -- understand. And you do you can blame everybody if fault for somebody that does make a mistake if it doesn't happen doesn't work -- Don't but I hit -- the to grow and make him to -- In they're blame everybody's sort of there's just you know. It is sort of and then things start getting -- it would have made it couldn't. That's our people that's as brilliant as president feeling and people that alone more. And men who put things. Them before nobleman. It looked from afar look from -- like he quit on his teammates did you ever feel David that many quit on you. What are -- true. There was something going about it between. Are there risks are and -- Ramirez I can never. Really. -- that dollar for you because there -- some personal reasons. Seen. We. Are all. And I never -- to evolve over it and he -- his feeling you know my any worse. He's -- to deploy that he including one of get two to play -- sort -- And I tell you want and it kind of bad that I -- the positive soak everything in saying Miami. I get to learn a lot of things from day. Miami is one of the -- Work hard every day who are. Some really boost performance so there. There and -- he never. So many negative report to play. He will get a group seeking -- and oppose and that sort of -- give preferred to play. But he wasn't about being here everybody knows that and when when that relationship it to deploy. You've got to make a move usually we do that. And go from there. What are we stayed and played just sucked it up. Do you think you may have won it all again this year. Boat -- and you vote regularly just to get a -- it is true you are. You can end up there and made our main politically you know theaters that is not offensive. I think you think that's a priority here in the offseason and do you think. The cleanup hitter is somewhere couldn't be Youkilis could be day. Definitely you know it is. You can look -- it very well. They came in him -- -- -- -- -- and then and then we we deal with those guys -- tight. But like SHU inflation illegal fishing in the particularly good. And whatever you can get the opportunity to get a move here and that do you live up. You know assume that is -- things that. David we're going to tester dancing skills -- -- here now you have one vote for the MVP. Dustin Pedroia or Kevin Youkilis and you could only pick one. I can only pick one you look like Olympic one I gotta give it to. -- -- Well. Because when Pedroia. See. These phone thing. I don't know what his issue is is just not normal in -- -- Today. Kerry is -- for both -- very. So there's very well on all the way to do it and -- -- put those two guys. Our own it reminds me. First. Full season. Me personally. We. That is great care borrower in the capital particular situation -- no more on the opinion opens. It was a very and then they'll. Put and his team on his back. And make sure. These team they were critical to. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I mean -- determine that I got you yeah understood we might vote between him and that you can it was because you've -- there wasn't exactly the same thing. Well less important that you keep Jamal the game well -- -- gold -- -- -- I can and inevitably that down. Well -- the other thing is it if you didn't vote for Pedroia he'd pester ball the wall forever for us your life refuted both for him to be dependent. Hey I didn't even a golfer are you are you not a golfer argue a golfer -- -- having this tremendous fund raising event down in the Dominican. Due. Definitely very. I've -- kind of bad that I always. I'm even out with a goal you know I've -- I -- -- In them because some so people -- days I Kamal then there. Somebody. Third to give me -- -- -- it is who's who's about to force situation. And now we had its own version. In my car into the medical public. I the first. Favorite -- -- there would be called blessed. In the Dominican bullying. I. There what you might do it without -- from someone of seeing a lot of Major League a lot of delivered the flat out. Millions. Coming in and gunfire. It's December 4 through the seventh.
