I have a whole bunch of stuff going on here first overall against the Teixeira thing is is something we're going to have to talk about and if we're lucky we'll get some Yankee fans crawling in. I I'm not sure that this isn't just another big bailout you know somebody bailed out the Yankees. It seems to be the season. Mark Teixeira. Is now somebody you were trying to get a tree in the mood to love the guys your -- basement. Guess what now we don't have think about that as we can hate him as a New York Yankees and that's exactly what we have respects him. And by the way I think if there's any good positive upside to this. It's that Michael -- Is going to remain. I hope he's fine hope his hip is fine. He doesn't deserve to lose -- job all this Mark Teixeira talk all we talked about is all you can go to third. They got a trade all -- let the shark no that's not going to happen. The big. That loaded. It's lobbied Joba the hut type Yankees. Have done it again. By throwing money at the situation as they always do they did it would Johnny Damon did it would Roger Clemens. They did it would -- again it would A-Rod 32 million dollars a year ray -- going to make this year to share as a -- money wise compared to an A-Rod going to make. They got twenty million -- Derek Jeter shortstop. They've got 23 million added big CC fat -- Cia you know did you expect any less with a brand new ballpark. Was a billion dollar ballpark or something ridiculous I don't know -- these numbers are mind boggling and staggering I can't even interpret the ball and there was this. Mark Teixeira is going to be Yankee. And here we go again. It's been going on since 1975. -- free agency for started in the big leagues. The Yankees. With their attitude and their money aren't you going to try to buy their way into it again. Now I hope these guys all get along and the Yankees of all their -- their money you know that can just huge egos they're they're always have been. But now you can welcome to share to the fold with AJ Burnett. And all these clowns and the and the -- that Yankee payroll I guess what we can Tatum ball again and oh I don't think that is. That -- Youkilis at third Youkilis at first. And Mike Lowell at third. I don't know how much of a falloff it is -- and now this is assuming that that Mike Lowell is healthy again. We all remember the hundred and something RBIs he had 2007. And the fantastically clutch year he gave the Red Sox have the two were in a way I'm I'm kind of relieved. To not have the feel the guilt about. Taken -- soldier and a good guy like Mike -- and put about the streets just because the Yankees were. Because mark he shares available the Yankees have a now they did their usual swooping in with a big -- money and you know you can -- to sick about it good throw up get it over -- It will move on remote. Move on the baseball season but I'd sure we'll have comments about that 180 million bucks. All I can hope is that you know he pulls a ligament. Tonight will have a record breaking performance I do believe it's strong on this the Philadelphia seventy sixers Celtics. Look for that to go to 27 to become the greatest team and its greatest start. In the history of NBA basketball. Of that success. The Bruins also playing tonight they're playing the Jersey doubles and so there's a lot going on the world of sports but fortunately our show. And our ability talk about all this will be short changed. By the very fact the Celtics playing that game so you'd you really can't we can't lose. We can always talk about to -- rate through February and march and and it's going to be unbelievable now this Yankee Red Sox rivalry going to be rekindled because of him with the Red Sox fans hate worse than. And the Yankees got fat themselves up with a bunch of free agents and that's exactly what they did his case again. At this this winter where were talking about. How much 424. Million dollars they've spent the last week or so. 424 million dollars close to a half billion almost a half a billion dollars. I'd like to know what the total value of all their conferences. Meet for if you take everybody it's -- got -- Unbelievable. Are fond -- are already a pro honors six and sevens and nines here we 588852. Fives theory fifty we've only got a short time talk. And that is to about seven when the pregame starts here on sports rated WEI so let's have -- it -- let's start with a guy who's. Probably so excited he's drooling through astute franken Gloucester ranked.
What do you -- God -- side about the book dog about it actually the pressure -- my witnessed that. A lot about what operational job I called Bob Ryan -- wasn't. I says that. The Yankees I just got a call once a month -- the Yankees organization. I took the exhibit to Columbia they're going to get it next week and the couple epic struggle to get -- week. Right to -- some. Number telling me it was a done deal last week got my club up -- depression -- is my witness. I don't hesitate it's backed down control what should we were number one it's reported that when -- the next three years. I'm quietly annual. Is there any strong spiritual that -- right right and well -- got I will cry anymore it's been a did you cry.
Well with users song that rhymes with one out anymore. It is that the rhyme with that's why -- why why why because now you're now you're trying to slow.
No no Red Sox lagged because I know all Altman should wait academic not to -- stopped. I don't know I can't put up what might -- But. I -- like.
Yankee fans have been crying since 2000. I mean we've been listed and cry for eight years. Their -- animal when they don't win next there. -- you know here here we go here's here's the here's my quick analysis it is. Last year the Yankees spent 200 million dollars cause I have no idea it doesn't matter that play money. What is what was that Tampa Bay Rays payroll 45 million. 45 million dollars. That's Teixeira. And CC sabathia that's it. Those two players alone -- 45 million dollars for next year. Okay now I know the Red Sox are in this big money -- too you know and they have been David following the Yankees -- on this for a long time. So this is -- big market teams do they spend money. Just so the Yankees know okay 45 million dollars got to the World Series last year the American League east. 45 million dollars. By them 11 baseman and one big fat ass left hander that's it that's all they get that money. So good -- Yankees -- Well suit -- it's really fun to hate them. Even more so today I think it -- need to AJ Burnett is so ugly he looks like Randy Johnson crap to about. Go to that would mended hello Phil.
my ideal answer. I think I've had some aerial right what would be happy -- teachers -- of -- Yankee Stadium well. But. Unbelievable.
Yeah well yeah of course it is insert it here we go get. I remember when the Yankees took Johnny Damon over couple million more just just to (%expletive) off the Red Sox -- you know what did they did it again they do it again today today.
I would think Mike -- we aren't just on the statute we.
A look at that -- media. But -- act upon it I mean Derek Lowe. Yeah they're all -- what we think we're not -- and not sit well.
Well I can tell you this they had if they had that money's sequestered in order to pay Teixeira and they were if they're planning on taking that many money. And buying -- way that now they have money to spend. Now now anybody becomes available then money's no object because they've got basically you know twenty million dollars with the budget they -- remedy their own problems with. At -- truly what they have for problems. They have up are probably catcher either it's either perceived or real. And that and that that's really hits.
Get real like -- like he is like at what might -- our thing is we hope that hip injury. Rocket. People could be up being committed to come -- Bible we be okay other catcher Varitek is average what not. Used -- 12 year deal. Make a lot about the only. You know if it -- at a point where you have to give it credit I mean they lost a rural Giambi. And it in the it'll. Can bet that payroll. We gotta do something to wheaties at least 88.
Well it look at the team that the Red Sox had last year came very close. To getting to the World Series did they not I mean it was it wasn't they were one game away one inning away or whatever you want to call.
Like inside and the thing is I like in -- I think the -- Boris this will that they operate in the one world it is again. I don't be surprised seriously to entry he would be open -- it would. --
and went to George they said dad we signed Mark Teixeira George Bryson and as that. That's probably happen. And then they civil gonna get this -- oh by the way we also signed CC bad ass Cia job or how much money it's good sabathia. These guys have spent more 124. Million dollars in two weeks. Is that Christmas shopping what they'll.
Yeah I I know might -- but in the league big. They -- his salary off the -- so but one you don't New York blocked in Dodgers but it caught eight that was. So that I heard a story get. They went back to the out. But -- in New York for more money for all our.
Yeah well -- so it's only corporate enabling that they do they got that park there. You know in in in the Bronx. And is a billion dollars they're gonna charge up the 2500 dollars a seat for the for the ball park. As at that thing they can hardly heard this -- obviously oh for the first exhibition season run -- 25 cents for bleachers. That's just a joke as you're gonna -- gonna pay 25 cents UC you're grew by -- nine dollar hot dog.
Right yeah how. But like it's John Henry you know it would be a journal we kept -- the whoever. But might -- in may well.
That tie at this is that they've -- prospects they they got to come up from the system that's no way to make in this world I only Yankees dog always bought. Bought solutions to their problems we'll see what happens.
A large -- to the away got -- We left temple in the chinks -- but the owls to what is -- itself.
I don't worry about thank you -- going to take care. Thanks for -- a you know that's true value we care where his -- for the go up 33 years the Yankees create the money in the spending the money. They've always spent the money. They always have the top paid players in baseball now the top five but I've paid players baseball. But all they -- it was Gilbert of the 23 million dollar or twenty it would it was for Giambi that's all they did it well -- to. Abreu was sixteen million and Messina. So and I don't I can't believe you I heard -- from Gloucester Mikey he was actually right he called me up Saturday. So on -- he has inside sources are not but he was right about it. Well buster only -- got -- from him yeah I guess no question about it that he called frank how we in North Attleboro -- out week.
What what's gone on Joey well well how wait. Just a big joke -- on air how we don't win but it but guess what how he sucks is a caller right now maybe is not his ball maybe cellphone Jose's in Roxbury.
Hey I don't know Jose how are you. Commitment. And let them live unless whoever that contreras you know I didn't really care about -- so. I'm not if Annika only. It called audit that. Ready -- to -- the that they can but. The red -- and I am really angry about it is Scott Boras and it's ridiculous what it's gut.
In -- this is the fact that and make myself being. Bet you know he'd get it -- critic politics for these guys. And it -- got my -- your ticket because I mean.
He's going to bring it now and then and you know defending them you know bring up the price. Honest to comment on the ticket but coming. Up by the bomber -- eight you know.
You're right I have to every -- do his job Jose that's his job is he's make themselves very rich make a lot of people rich but that doesn't mean we don't have to hate him. For what he's done. To the game of baseball overall as an inflationary tool. And he -- to the guy's a jerk but I gotta tell you so. Until the owners decide. Individually and not do. To be you know the article collusion. Together I mean I'm talking about -- this none anti union stuff I'm talking about they've got to make up their mind. As owners. Aren't that we're -- do I have a 200 million dollar payroll we're -- to have a hundred million dollar payroll. How much is too much money from Mark Teixeira forgot all the numbers he's at Jose's pretty nondescript -- exciting guy.
Where -- if I -- I wonder -- not been you know. I mean the -- We'll block the -- like -- can -- and -- the Yankees a late lead that outcome he would you know out of Spain but that's really done I think what what. About the Yankees in Latin America. Aren't desperate okay it will -- that they they'll. I'm lucky go with that you got some good them.
It was I don't prescribe and he's not out of eagle it I don't and again admitted being. --
I've got take a break here we get terrorists or call you know there's going to be something is going to be talked about law. And it's it's for two reasons. This is one thing it's to want to be it's expand in need to go to the game. Part of being a Red Sox is out of the corner of your right or over your shoulder watch the Yankees and he. Eighty what they do and meeting their players okay now is the actual -- hate you know. No you don't want the deal what they're the people that guy you know Horry one -- plane crash. You want to lose you want to fail you want to booed them when they come apart. And and have all kinds of venom out for the New York Yankees as -- team as being as a concept. And they continue to make it worse on themselves by continually to go reach for the wallet. You know if you rich -- combined that you want to right. Does that mean you're the best means the --
