But the team is going to be worse John when Kevin Youkilis placed third base will -- Brooks goes back to -- which is what's going on there are -- or baseball team is not as duke right now at this point his career. Is not as good as well Mel Brooks not a group. He's probably over producing right now. These slides back will be -- coastal isn't that good. And again this
    you know you go ten. Is some team got a jump say Kevin Youkilis all of a sudden you know ten games this is playing pretty well as producing a little bit. Does a teammate and what I would think a team would want to seal but it more of a sample site and less and less the Red Sox . Our I think the only way the -- I think -- would wanna see him produce a little bit at the Major League level or at least see a couple of weeks -- yeah I want to -- if Kevin Youkilis is please call for a team's sudden something to be a really huge incentive to -- from you know the risks in the ups in -- downside to making -- vehicles right now it's probably gonna get hurt he's getting older. What if he stays healthy for the rest of the year. In -- pretty good OBP 33 -- camp believes still.

Visiting his -- family out Ohio that it was going to happen to be able to rescheduled that trip. Had to be joined by letting Magglio has always of the metro west daily news the Red Sox despite what appeared to be a week a lot of bad no problem against the Indians pitching and they put up -- twelve spot in the sixth. And they lead the Indians thirteen detailed. In the top of the seventh inning at Fenway with two outs Manny Delcarmen on the mound after Tim Wakefield another -- a performance for him. Premise of get right back to your calls who got a special guest joining us now. Then Moehler from fox sports dot com. And he's very familiar with Manny Ramirez after covered him in out in LA and then what was your it's John Ryder letting -- earlier of the planet Mikey show easier. Initial reaction at first to what you found out about man.

The Dodgers at the put out that -- again. I really shocking -- majority. Without the fight producer. Slowly work it out is that right I'm not totally shocked because a lot of that series. When may without any sign a contract until mid march. Today that there was a police then that I disagree but there was talk that. It is piracy without -- there was a possibility he could be trouble and that's -- some pain in addition to our group on baggage. It's without it -- this could be a possibility. And so that's why some cheap shot without that was just speculation he. And it turned out that that is exactly what happened but. I'm not totally shocked because -- if you look at the numbers as to at all. And you compare -- to all the other guys that we won't chi. Not --

Especially has -- as agent William.

But I -- was it was -- this article I you're for the Dodgers and see you know Barack clearly he had been slow about. And you guys know you -- this brought. Pontoon. I fifteen years ago guys -- either ignorant thirties and -- down he really doesn't happen much anymore.

Then. When did that that word deaths that you know get out today and and -- are notoriously been on Iraq did anyone question him about it before tonight.

We're delighted I was an urgent question about it rotten -- the the you know and then you'd have to request that the Yankees and they're probably. And he -- rootkit Giambi in New York is. It's clear he's -- road tested when it --

You know -- when I'm having Joe must be I mean obviously this -- haven't -- to deal with it in the awkward a couple of players that his big man in the line -- right to the tormented -- so many years as -- Red Sox. Right and now he's strong man game again as a dodger manager bite taken -- I'm alive after a fifty games. I mean it ought to be up they do it all this crap.

Well it -- badges have been used after a Serb. I. Brought to eleven well actually two hours ago. And Joe Torre and that created GM I would I didn't Obama's it was apparent that she got stupid magically can batting practice. And right behind incredible that is you know hundred media -- more than. Cameras and Joe -- and an MP Dodger Stadium. Answering questions about made their parents or polished. I don't know -- he has had been in the media. -- Now it was sparkly beset the right thing. Yeah I want that happens in sports -- I just realized that we don't. Just -- yeah. Yeah you -- it always adding value -- a product assortment. -- it stated you actually made a mistake and China at all like this is the one time playing in. An -- maybe you can but it chipped in with a date and time thing I -- particularly. I even the reality as amnesty -- some are.

The and many of all things you know he's been up this torrid start as well at 340 it was six over at a big hit last night everything's going just he cheated here with the Dodgers thirteen -- all don't when he won any record. And they lose a guy like that the -- a lot of do you think they can still compete do or do well in the NL west.

Yes. Yeah and it badgers have a great record because there's not this would keep an ignorant let me let -- tremendous -- broad. In one area and for the giant surprises second best you can bet on any offense. It was -- you would save twenty debate Brian Bedford he's he knows he knows -- that they gave him the Padres stake in the rocky thanks. I -- is inadequate staffing as many assists and rises that -- politely as -- Now it is yeah badges as water and brought in -- career. -- When -- met minimum replacing. Yeah you're ready to separate -- you know -- news conference. That the argument that. They're going to act which is -- are part of the opening Robert -- didn't he brought -- that even the smallest guys and.

I started 27 I mean they have some guys. -- in their lives have been at least they can get a little bit besides him would -- encampment and some others as well even Orlando Hudson movement.

that the paramedic who wouldn't want may have not been an oddly it was not just -- Portland -- got -- he learned that the Internet you know. These -- the EP camera stacking run average off.

Definitely help manage alone there.

Yeah so -- seen this happen it is would the Red -- as many US is Hussein saying. --

They did you could even make a better point for -- year because at least with the Ortiz you still get Youkilis or others that really back it and so -- Jason Bay hit his eighth home run tonight.

They don't you -- Norton and he brought he brought it may even just steps. He was more forward and it was.

Yeah Ben let me ask you this this KLM the courts to answer -- him back next yeah.

I would talk to you. That there are economists and that no one in particular have been prosecuted got. -- writing columns that you know he's got to go they got to get them any.

It on this before this. It's -- Yes I saw -- you do that ESPN around one he was really no one's going after many art. What about the fans -- the year bad because everything's been all you know Manny would it and everything's great with the world what do you think the reaction is going to be. Now went once he comes back in July.

Well I would say it's true that I mean this is probably good for me because there's -- In low latency and other party's right anger. People really don't pay attention to baseball. Here until the lakers eliminated and it looks like the lakers are back on track -- the -- the rockets. As soon that was attacked the NBA finals you're talking about. Making it in the mid June. Is the best part obviously a huge block of certain listed by the franchise is pretty much been. There is they've included Navistar presents Mike Piazza left. As a Rebecca legally admitted that -- late in the PR and bad issues that require. -- have felt that I got a placed our resident I -- this that it in this promotion he would. 99 proxy to take it to and they would T -- people machine now on the edges announced today there -- no longer promoting. The man he would section and that is that particular question. And answer and they can be okay as long -- his step he comes back. And all of a sudden you know he -- it's really quiet doesn't have the power. You know pragmatic about it -- a lot of these pathetic much like Giambi. When he went back to the Yankees. We presume -- on -- with the thought of.

And so you think McCourt will world given the benefit of the doubt oh just wait and save like you said he comes back negative ideas.

I would say it is any intent Robinson -- a lot of back. I extend well I would think would come down and quick question that it is if you take a packet hits well. Carrying it resonated. In -- stop there's only so these guys and those guys future of our favorite now. It's suspension YouTube which it may not matter how -- it is likely that -- completely not McGwire is not there aren't as it is really -- that. That's not part of the package to -- problems come down. It was a question the --

While I don't not only price comes down but you know do they want them I mean what I -- it while I can't I couldn't imagine. The court picking up that twenty million dollar option for next season or an I think he's going to have a tough time finding a job you know if there's any doubt at all about you know how he's going to react and again it it's not fair let's see how we -- back in July and if he does in July 2 you know October what he did last -- Then you know then all bets are off the -- might say well these were active you know take the chance but --

I just doesn't doesn't -- them -- it is he's try to know as always do is based on any business try to -- every dollar he can't so. It was pretty tomatoes back in play Roma fans embrace you again they can excel. The Manny Ramirez rigs and all other chuck it's on the shot them. He went back unity can make money off many and remember a lot of these deferred so that you know the Argentina the patent. You know withdrawal to -- as he knows and -- William -- and in I just took an American actor because he's.

Right I was gonna say their. Yeah right -- also silver lining in a way to look at it that way that he saving almost eight million dollars outlet malls have aligning hours ago from any remembered as the one here yeah right but at the same time I mean it's a good thing that many stats are still around your -- where the pay too much so much attention because. Don't you think Abby you would know better than me because you're out there realize it's those -- kind of in a perfect town for something like this that.

I actually have. Except it's it was a bad smell blood. Into Kashmir. It's it's not it's actually people it doesn't affect people relate -- obviously and processes and policies that. There in the body structure in this -- is a lot of people who care about the Dodgers but then a second ago. Not every single leg to me that not planning out -- rights and I didn't look at about 500 team. A -- independent but it couldn't -- pretty good and it started coaching about it a couple of gadgets starting in the back -- irritation but everybody does but. But the play and I think it's quite obviously -- and they were embraced -- The fans embraced it and it's been a monetary do you guys know everyone knows that's well. I think is again but the reality that's he's got no problems he doesn't. He. He product will be here that we had a short story about mayor -- at dodger uniform.

And Taiwan saying that Juan Pierre will give you that many navigate -- a triple. And I don't think that. -- just switch gears -- quick then now you're out -- follow lakers as well any chance the rockets get past them and in I think that. It's intriguing series as far as our attested Battier matching up with Kobe but as still. Your thoughts on on that series.

I actually -- people out of commission that's is restarted. But after going to happen in game I think what can edit and at least it's actually series. Expect Houston it to win another game that aren't on their -- it -- that -- on the line. Obviously used to ridiculously that -- don't wake up -- game and I think biggest compliment. April item. I'm easy to implement the final last year it was that -- you lost the -- next. -- items is not well he's he's been very consistent. It is in the playoffs and particularly in my pocket and finally it's pretty much locked. In the NBA finals. But -- they can beat Cleveland reverent about in the east you know getting. Without it and I don't. Without that's an -- and a system that problems in the -- because. You can't rely upon it has the potential. Appetite of the day.

Yeah they're going to have to play physical as well I mean especially against used to but even in the final against Cleveland as well. -- definitely yeah.

We're very familiar doesn't it actually has bothered -- I apparently normal on the watch -- particularly about this. Fisher hadn't been able put defensively 1990s.

Yeah seven yards and Aaron Brooks yet.

Brooks is blond on its rocket. -- to have -- much going to appoint as the line that religious argument that I've in the play. Decided that that's a concern of they apparently don't care about it because maybe you know they don't they've never directed the last couple years they've had opportunities and haven't done.

Well it always seems Colby anyway gets more fired up when actually someone is playing deep Spencer EE could use some motivation -- went up for forty last night despite the fact that you know. Or a test about a year played pretty good defense against him.

Hello Linda -- gets suspended for his little pop. Last night so it will be out of for the next game.

That might not be the worst -- would Barbara there.

You have actually a computer to the public opposition so. He has primary -- only when it's gonna do that obviously isn't expecting them. -- post. You'd never happens it just goes on forever they might be able.

You know the league wants LeBron against Kobe anyway and that's why what they're gonna get.

It's about an hour hey area clean looks great. It is that a great lift clean with a banged up Detroit team that does not involved. In Atlanta which is about. And under the -- the passions include.

I don't know I mean when you think about it I think they're going to have an easy time against Orlando if Orlando makes it. Noah as far as the Celtics they would neither Kevin Garnett miracle I would think not now they had their finals.

It'll be it will be LA and there will be it will be. LeBron and the lake is going to have maintained all year even when I got that I was held the event that the top three is gone back to October November a top three teams in league with a lakers. Cavs and Celtics with gun at him when Leon Powe and help me. And now the way it stands it's it's the top two in and that's what Davidson wants and that's where he's going to get and should be great series. Give my got to ask you this now it's go ask you this I give us a -- West coast assessment. Of Joey to fish.

Jurgensen habitat -- this -- here I he's very involved in the that at a news. I -- to which arbitrage formula packed to the liquid you guys. He comes to regret this night's rest weren't in Pasadena. 85 degrees comes sorority.

It all out when he. Had a and yeah. I play yeah.

That's that's always -- And I've bed while we appreciate you I guess you can read your stuff right on fox sports dot coms were repaid right.

Yeah -- respect comes nationalism and you follow -- quite. In the it's evident --

Yet no problem that's Ben Moehler.
