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 .

They can operate now lot basically implied superiority Twitter. Department missing something with this Twitter thing absolutely what what's Toby what's so great about it tonight and take time out of my busy doing nothing you -- points. Yeah what about it well this one -- following today she's getting very graphic. That's so -- so wait so now the support star of the twitters and cheap energy you Whitner twittering she's just tweaks like. -- So she -- you to a woman this will not just me a whole world. -- It's the whole world going to the same information you have reached giving. -- it's giving you titillating -- actually I you have Barack. Whatever twists. Shall we did -- today said it is Odessa yes. Okay -- reading it verbatim it's like Taylor and glad it weren't there. Just like the world does he reads things. And I hand -- breast implants equals fail I'm sorry but rock hard. Lopsided. Leaps eight -- state natural please. Today go oh wait that's her tweaked. It and yeah it gives a crap what she think of a public service and support about this news. Who gives a -- About what she thinks at that moment. And she really think the wind of the audacity to think it's somebody up there's. A given moment that I typed in to Mike -- your waiter. You think this up to -- like you writing and responding. It's this is not necessary part of the world of communications is at the -- sit there read knowledge I go here. I don't care what someone's random thought might. Just don't I'm with -- Mikey -- all this.

Mike I don't care at assembly of movement. When it happened I think you know bill went to jail for twittering. -- I don't care. If it's a Twitter wise and called twittering -- call waiting. This -- to form the whole thing is sold outside maybe I don't get it maybe I'm behind the -- of old I don't know.

It's got placed a five breaking news isn't news is -- is about the girls. Care if you just here but. Its faults news. He's actually encountered twittering that's somethin' happened yet so I go on their Twitter or tweaks it's just totally fall just to start some -- that joke. And you do that and I was Derek Jeter and your Twitter the years that. To. And so -- again so we hear about that it's accurate. -- lines but he you know it's stations in the office when it produces this show that does it -- during the show what's cool. Man John. Updating people that I got this youth -- Get a better we have caller actually talk. Mockery o'clock. Could -- all becoming -- 2016. Summer Olympics. I don't. You think that's -- Olympic sports. As much as I admire great -- and give credit to those in control muscle memory and play well regular. Is -- gonna leave sports. The regular golf.

Here's a list of potentials -- here's what personally giving -- background here. The IOC wants to maximize revenue when a shock that is. And ratings. By hopping on the latest sports and -- Now understand that Tiger Woods would would draw ratings he was in the Olympics -- okay draws ratings January on the Golf Channel. Because -- Tiger Woods. But aside from Tiger Woods U2. The Olympics to see. John Daly John Daly I know oral lefty or -- John game would make the US team. Woods and analyze giant. Tiger mania gripping the the nation countries like China Russia and India flush with new money. Golf is poised to become sport of the U lead worldwide. According golf week the International Olympic Committee executive committee meets on August 12 in Berlin. And members will recommend to sports for possible addition to between sixteen Olympic Games. Another seven sports under under consideration when you hear this box. Here. No. No that that's so cool. Baseball. Golf -- Roddy. Roller sports rugby soft ball it's why. Our -- consider that petition that was two this winter with that woman in some people were trying to get -- Some sorted dancing -- strip pole dancing in on Olympic and yet it's Steve talk about ratings that's system believable. But you know -- not note today's golfers like you'd better shape certainly Tiger Woods in the equipment companies improve the game local office changed. It was a time when a fifteen year old fat guy could win a championship and often viewed in -- a fifty year old that and it's Olympic sport tickets. I think it's a game of skill. I think it obviously takes some kind of musicality to. Two to succeed in the world of go often. And you know I personally amazed some but he it's -- off so it's very hard to do it's really prefer somebody Olympic sports are ready isn't as. You know he's going to be juggling pretty soon.

Even a sport like our series in there and of course its its Olympics it's a sport if the I act I see that it -- to this -- is race car driving a sport yes it is yes well the athlete. The guy the guy. He's in there for our effort I organized -- investments -- you know -- I can I can drive daily. Oh yankees seemed riots around and I. Highways cut back exactly. In the old days in particular I -- skills necessary. 300 miles an hour the -- you couldn't hold that molds and that long ignorance. Little -- think the athlete in the in its auto racing is the car. The car's engine is what does the work. Crew well the -- they're great they're good at changing tires may be tired changing should be Olympic sport. Yeah horse racing's. Now. I think horses the athlete. That's -- don't check this did jockey for steroids they make -- parts. Just check in -- and -- asked that question is horse racing auto racing is golf a sport.

Give us call 617 some system nine theory that say no rule three sports. I've said my peace let's hear from you gonna get a lot of trouble there. While I'm sorry via a sort of fueled by -- over the Red Sox have a race card you know have all that stuff is always listening escort. Weightlifting is sport -- Music and said no he went lifts weights crises should we would say you know it's. -- negatives that now you know he thinks you know -- is a sport. Hunting the wild dog.

Bird dogging mics and Weymouth Mike how are you.

I was on first time caller you know we're doing repeating ourselves Mike you were being redundant at the same time.

Thanks Mike I just wanted to do -- that's your comments. I do think that golf is great. It's a great team and Atlantic albeit.

is a great game is not a great sport. He -- down at the ball. Well you know -- don't have to -- it might yet aren't steroids might get a -- to hit the ball straight and if you practice I mean no guy. Who hit his age every single year -- 86 years ago. Katrina I mean it's a -- at 86 years old should you be able to compete at all and any Olympic sport.

Actually. If you -- your scorer senior H calls for. But when I was really calling about list the top the issue and and eat -- such with the past five players. And I collect you might wanna hear when it sort of out of Victor Martinez trade. -- You know right toward it was a great trade. And here's -- reason -- They have. Victor Martinez. Popped PEU. Clueless. Lol. Lol. It and.

players okay plate were positions. And would exhibit -- positions is a county designated -- and.

Catcher first third and did write a -- twenty -- period each player and get one day off. Played four out of five and -- well rested. And he gets a great scenario for the Red Sox.

It's particularly -- the guys you talk about need to rest of their hurt Michael Olson you know obviously big deep bituminous hip issue when he's not a 100% even though you know you like -- human lineup more than less. Catches 37 years old yeah he's gonna need some men are attacked since more and here between that you're right there you don't you ghost coast to third victor ghost of firsts somebody goes at DH let's say poppies up it's a tough. It's a tough left handed pitcher on the mound starting to -- you take -- are you put victories switzer again.

You quit using load balanced you know yielded little day off here and air start turning it better OK I'm all behind -- 100% I like ninety. It's great move for the Red Sox the other thing I was up. Okay go ahead it's.

He should -- came out right away and its keynote speech consult us. You know -- said I'll be honest with everybody and -- in our town and -- days and it find out he already knows. And to meet. She's great news personality in his popularity and box. Kind and -- just coming out.

Well you know there's a whole bunch of ways to go on this as a guy who prides itself as a potential lawyers were. You know I can argue both sides of the street. On why okay here's ten evidentiary reasons why I think he might be guilty and then -- corporate ten. So -- arguments for all of those. Points about why he might be innocent or at least as innocent as we can imagine in this cents a circumstances for example let's today. He never rejected. A savior of the eats it was orally over the counter or in the Dominican order that you could buy at least say. That there there was some stuff back then. A few years ago that was on the market a -- no legitimately what was in them okay and that's not necessarily the -- player. It's more and more importantly the fault of the person to manufacture the product and misrepresents what is label. Or their restores that probably and that again. There's things you awhile ago you know what that's not about state I don't know I don't know it says you know say. It whether or not he did it was gonna say about it that's all to come that's all things that weren't gonna DO it would be here a -- for a long long time because on like any other player including -- David Ortiz story as relates to steroids hurts more than any of the others that we've heard. Iran. Done deal -- we've talked about Clemens I mean I think of the legends. Of the great game of baseball that have fallen orbited humanize demonized. By the information it's been let out about the steroid. Use. I'm not so sure that I can't just go and say what everybody did it I don't care. It's overweight. Ever but it's all a core asterisk everybody's name and all their records during his period time and let's go -- to try to enjoy the game again. You know it's David Ortiz and now I know and that's what causes all the pain my friend because it's David Ortiz. Which Canseco did steroids agent throughout scorer. He did have to mediate it was with a Red Sox go pick guy. Malvo -- that everybody's filthy we got to move on and start trying to enjoy the game again. As we're gonna get lost in this whole thing but -- talk on David Ortiz steroids as long as you want to. But nothing's gonna change. -- surprised when you found out someone didn't do. And that's exactly especially empowering leaders -- that's exactly right I've said before he's on the list he's he did he's cheater he's just. It's -- just like Barry Bonds. Except we like them we don't hate him there's a big difference right we'll take a quick break and right back your phone calls -- planet Mikey.

Mikey you -- might get him. So if my dermatologist correct I'm a -- stuff on the WTI Sports Radio network.
