    just a dividend and you love or as I said LeBron James on the ten greatest players in the history of basketball hall. You can meet the sorts he's. He's attacking your -- won't sit in front -- personal let me just say David Ortiz has given Red Sox fans last fifteen years. More memories good memories fifteen and then when I'm sorry. 38 years 89. This
    yes yes yes. He's the face of the French would do that Derek Jeter -- New York. To treat it like you you'd hope but I OK I think Mike -- that after he said so forget me -- What is negative with David Ortiz who Bradford is making it. -- It think he's he's he's always he's on the -- on the soft failure

    kevin youkilis found at 5:51, 8:35

    all that. 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. That he was an all star last year I know is one of those fill in guys down below last year and in the second half was was abysmal but.

You like this came to Mikey show. Tonight show -- you opening theme tonight show this is the music that cheeky. We'll show robust and good luck when Mike starts to talk it will be -- and my --

Let -- do you exploratory -- WEEI.

I'm quite hot wheels and I feel kind of a little bit this. About you guys the -- boggles. -- the pitcher guts. It held adopted. But the lineup.

And I you know I don't normally come out of the box here criticizing. The manager -- hard fact that remembering westerly to criticize Terry Francona operating. But I think it's got to fall on his shoulders -- Red Sox -- they could swept today and now what you have a situation where the Yankees the Yankees win around Seattle. It's back to six and a half games again you've lost on any forward progress made after that awful weekend. In New York last week it Red Sox turn it around a -- they -- three year old yankees went to a three that game one game back and then. Today to me look they threw away the game you know it's me from the manager of the Red Sox I have not have Kevin Youkilis. In my lineup for the next five games I tell the guys look you can't I'm sorry if he needed day off Nolan was asked -- for one. You're not gonna get a for the next five day because we really need all the vets. Even yes even you J. D. Drew. But no -- at the fastball crushing. A machine Dustin Pedroia sit now and game today. And I don't care what you say day game after a night game to me gotta go up there and habits an opportunity. To change your team an opportunity to win. And you don't do that -- pokey Redick. And I don't have much problem with a Redick was ordered to Ernestine and you know -- of second beta war what were -- he Chris Woodward and Chris Woodward okay whatever castoff from Seattle. You put him in the lineup and a ten to one blowout to give somebody a couple of innings but the to me was like okay what does this lineup all bow and how on earth that they were gonna deal with Verlander who's just. By the way in the eight inning I saw him three successive pitches were injured throw -- he threw 9899. And a hundred on three pitches to. Jason day. And -- again this is eighth inning. I got disguised you know so you gotta get some out there that can hit a fast -- many don't win anyway but it was no shock. Of them winning that game and -- calls to -- pitched his guts out tonight may be his best game of the season. And he deserved a better fate. The other thing ornaments and two is that. You know -- issue number two hitter it's -- right. They put Redick in in place of Pretoria. And he's done he's down -- and tool and is a pitch up around his eyes and he swings. I you know -- common sense to OG you know and -- you know. That they're gonna they're not gonna come match here they're gonna throw something -- of the strikes don't see you take a pitch there. -- he had some you know that was about it that but -- some decent decent at bats throughout the game on his -- But Ortiz all for for three days he looks completely out of it he's been out of -- since the daily news of the announcement and the filing that. The following day. Here -- that they they talked about his steroid thing. The -- that that day he went on and on and a three run shot restitution then he's been awful habit even before that he was -- he's in the same kind of funky was in the beginning of the year which is which is awful and that Red Sox need some help. Continuously now. From profits perspective and how I get the help if you sit down your when your best guys offensive guys -- number two -- lineup. A day where you know in -- is disease and I don't know just. I think it's Francona thing today and you know chalk up that lost his decision I'm pretty short laboratory to go back for day -- you think so John no perjury would have been in there he had one last drew might have been -- well even last night he didn't mention. Pedroia was gonna have a bail out the last night during his press conference he did say that J. D. Drew would be -- He knew Varitek obviously. Won a third of your already kind of weak hitting lineup. -- take out those that. -- to MVP candidates coming out of the lineup in the same to me it was awful well I mean droll -- What do you think he would -- done against. Instead of rhetoric that doesn't bother me as much as the Pedroia and what do but it. Okay so so let's say each unit you forgive the Redick thing with a drew thing you say are put Pedroia back in the lineup to make up for some would he take out three guys who wants. Ego Woodward in there. It ninth in Redick hit second in. -- the other -- dwelling in the green eight. -- please this is off the middle of the lineup and do anything I -- day was over three with a walk and three -- we've mentioned Ortiz Mike lol finally cooled down. One -- but. I'm still not -- other Ellsbury got a second base okay at a base hit by Pretoria there's one run right there. And and to say okay well you don't know Pedroia would have drug driven that -- right when he's at 300 -- Yeah at least three attention it's getting run there. I don't I'm just pissed about it and I'm still not upset with three out of four against Detroit and with the Verlander on the -- yeah I -- have ever had swore you you can go to -- It was going to be tough for gardeners the pejorative thing yeah I think he should've been in there. Jury doesn't bother me as much inevitably sets and -- going to be tough because it's early enemies does -- put in a week and that doesn't make any sense from a baseball perspective and I don't remember ever being quite this pronouncement print cholera. And I I gotta say though I disagree wholeheartedly -- and what you think -- at 617779085888525. 0850 on the planet Mikey show Red Sox. Oh -- back in action tomorrow night Jon Lester. Will go against the texas' Kevin Millwood both with -- identical nine in seven record that's tomorrow night. In in -- house. Millwood had a solid season at Texas is what you -- really worried about right now they're just to have you back in awhile there yeah I hate they can walker this early go to guy and take a while ago it's you're trying to win this game today state five and a half behind the Yankees and put the pressure on them to win tonight to keep it botnet now they can lose and still keep -- an. And win and make it to back six just I think it's you still left to -- intentional out right now five I -- not like you wanna concede that -- and they play it anyway via pay attention to -- play and we try to beat them to meet the -- but did that way is is defeatist I hate that does that defeatist tennis it's a very good possibility you know I want to concede the division but it's probably more likely. That David will be a wildcard team than a division winner but I think back I go right after the Yankees -- in -- keep winning keep winning keep mystery on. And and not baptists -- turn our attention towards awhile. I think to get the attention of both. I -- pay attention to it. But I mean I assure you I played faster stronger possibility that there will be allowed in front of the set a rotation toward Texas you know and and and then then just give up on the race I think that's Sox. -- Brendan is in a car on Sports Radio Brandon.

But don't like other -- you know but yeah. I agree with you are proud that this plan and it's not -- that's just got a big cantaloupe bailout and not -- up. We have witnessed the play I'll buy one game. The only about eight outside equity office com John -- eight. -- get -- it -- a lot candidate who now is that coincidentally he cannot say that development gentlemen bill back.

Not saying it's over I just think there's greater possibility that they'll take the wild card.

What caused by that I mean. -- One can't slumped while the treaty doesn't really gone national post on all went on -- back they don't that connect.

I mean there's still plenty of baseball have 48 games down -- the Yankees for 60 right. --

We didn't actually. I hear you right I don't see why consider Pedroia when -- which is not a lot of -- treated as an anabolic ball amonte and perhaps then. I don't know I consider enjoy it today. I can't go against the -- such elite.

Yeah well you know this guy by the way he's -- better than you ever has really -- when he got the -- hundred miles an hour -- the -- his guys are Bolivia you don't have to be old school I addicted -- that was going to be his last inning so gear up here.

I wouldn't comment I collapsing really look like it was all done.

Well -- he's 26 years old and I'm really. Well. A young pitchers so it's gonna apple when he was really looking good today and I appreciate that -- makes -- tough when you left handed batter drew can handle a fastball Pedroia is known for being you give him off fast Fawcett kill it.

Exactly gone to Orlando to write a contract getting a lot of Pedroia I'm just -- makes no sense to you whatsoever.

Thank you bring it thanks for the call mics in Braxton. -- Thank her. And.

Well I got the fact is they looked at Bobby they're gonna -- a -- that they have a --

had to add -- DH when you put it. At yeah. Casey Kotchman that's another guy like -- great guys agree -- guy but you know when I look at the Red Sox lineup NIC Redick. Kotchman. And a -- gonna play at first we Youkilis -- suspended I had no problem with Kotchman at first when he learned how to I'm just talk about the overall feeling of look at the Red Sox lineup against Berlin currency -- names like Redick and Kotchman and Woodward in green right. I asked for your five that's 49 batters have a problem as they don't have any. Thing Ellsberg for green as far as -- shortstop goes right -- People. All the more reason why all the more reason why you cannot sit Pedroia while I agree with that and I would Pedroia.

I would typically redeployment you know he's he's a great baseball player it would look bad quality playback. Why didn't -- thought that eating it or gonna talk about are -- gonna get probably don't got it reliably make of the McCain called ridiculous. He does happen.

They're gonna drop again in the lineup I don't know what they'll do anything but he's a little while it but eligible liability hidden -- you're talking about a serious. Deficiency and left handed power in that lineup they don't have any if you're just if your best left handed hitter poppy you're dropping him back -- sixth or whatever.

comeback attempt because that's not got to get needs and Gonzales there. Gonna do that we're not gonna get into -- appreciate -- guys he's gonna -- just he's quiet early. You can't back it -- pretty epic about he has -- like I said most -- PH and it's that simple Bobby don't like it that's just too bad -- That's just the way it is cost about okay incidents and these Islamic.

You -- in men and Mike thanks decline drew is another guy. You know he's almost a guy who we did see -- they've -- first line -- bank's second third fourth fifth sixth. To resolve over the line up the words again like you belong a guy with a beautiful swing was overpaid. But who's in 250 what do you do with some myself trying to Figaro -- blogs on we're right back in ninety seconds.

Oh yeah Mike Adams and -- to the two main rules of broadcasting the most of the time doubts Wang down whip that out. Mikey with Mike Adams on the -- EI Sports Radio network.

The news. And the frowning while wide of first round -- Cabrera experience to the picture this one's over. The Red Sox shut out for the fifth time. This year and for the third time over the last week. They fall for the tigers. The final Detroit and the Red Sox nothing to Red Sox leave with a wild card now just happy game over the Texas ranked.

It just sounds evident of the can always tell when they lose. Swearing -- have by the way speaking of pop ups there was one time Ortiz put inflated Mikey since the All-Star break. When he four games forward -- he's sitting at 202. In those 24 games in J. D. Drew and 22. Is getting to fifty off with one --

Webb holds up there -- guys went up. Of a much I don't always -- those -- just -- but I mean. It's just feel like today that like afflict our decision to kind of conceded game and he's just -- it'll look like I just don't work when it. But have you what you can't end -- still aren't those -- Daisuke and the -- are -- could also.

The pitching wasn't the problem and you -- a problem. And Buchholz -- is not a look always post a win that game and Buchholz who has opted against that kind of performance -- figure -- that's that seventh inning home run I believe was the seventh. Made it to nothing but he'd been on just perfect all day and you supposed to win a game we don't give up two runs.

Especially how they most certainly got back and obviously a lot of -- it -- Olympic game. But it just seems like -- baby steps only different option -- you -- what you got us company just doesn't seem to be capitalizing on eight thickening you can DH Martinez -- Varitek apart back catcher contrary expressed. --

What's his back and it is that's not a big deal him haven't --

I didn't happen. The day off but addicted to run the Gaylord to gain a petite yeah PH indicated -- DOJ -- stays out there are still gonna love at first base what you've gotten Kotchman. And they can use our Martinez's bat then focus on heading for the.

Yeah two hits now -- arm sort of felt better with Varitek in the lineup and and yeah I mean it is an entire -- has been what. -- You know I and and even if he's in eighth and ninth -- courses it's all still functioning haven't Pedroia and there as far as I'm concerned got to have Pedroia and.

Got abducted and then they don't particularly want such a local accused I didn't know how bad it is our game. Was about decision Baghdad city we showed up -- and it but I mean. I don't particularly want to gain just -- that he was just gonna get lit up I mean -- while when he -- and at some.

We're talking about is always good -- gaming gave up three runs just one earned in the first and settled down after that pitched. Five innings for the win.

The ten -- early he. Got this -- just obviously got three runs one earned. -- Apostolic it would have been a bad decision by the throat is already has set up like a part of something to me now are not even historic. We would start -- well what I don't discriminate Bard spent an MLB -- are -- we.

Unity you kinda question -- he pitched well after I got after get the shakes out from of the first inning. -- I think credibly and one earned run though so but that -- looking at an all -- look at it on paper and remembering. Going to this season you know you get them lined up guys seven starters got all your bats in place everything looks like it's going to be good Nelson you've seen these lineups coming out -- The the different names that are strange to west's in the pitching rotation and stuff it's it's a little bit disconcerting. We have Joe. He's in west.

I don't July you don't. I just -- their aptitude not that a lot I don't eat you up but what it around as many people but. While he's been more -- thought about it could -- lately are all on edge. -- Army. He's on the trading block. Or I 33 or weeks at most a couple of starts what one -- out.

That one and three shouldn't buy an agreement and -- 31.

Yeah and to dollar come then pitches great like sent one earned run or senate. And I mean -- just good seek parity vocal as art not insult others -- good just good to see that source.

You know AD here's what bothers me the most is it is that you throw this game out today and it really appears to me as though was almost not conceded -- forfeited but it almost might as well have been. Under the circumstances -- the wrong attitude -- yankees going out with their race big fat -- tonight around Seattle. In that big ball park and you know he's gonna win that game against Seattle at you don't have faith and Ian Snell the -- Now -- not I got very little debate that Ian Snell. -- Mets knell for that matter. So I you know that this is where you say okay well guess what right back to where we were you know -- a couple of days ago at six and a half games back and I I think for one have not given up. By any it's any means the the division. And it's about a game like today when I know it's gonna be tough with for a -- cold facts somebody's hit him this year losses Verlander have. So it's got so these last two starts have been miserable before this but he bounced back to bounce back big time against the in the -- at the front runners for Cyrus a -- slowest Red Sox today they were absolutely. Hunch analysts. --

That you have great oracle I didn't. Up though pre pre wanna get the -- I'll probably have it.

separate to any circumstances -- like this. -- that Richard Johnson. Richard Johnson yet again and that's right. At a -- Jim Rice special. Tonight on this and dean used Jim Rice is that today to rice could then it'd better than these other clowns.

I have. -- Go to take you know look -- and -- so into the game today when I saw the lineup I was like oh my god this is -- AAA and soldiers deserve better than that I -- didn't -- guest today. I wanna watch what happens this line up against that pitching yes -- you can't wrote that slide up against Justin Perl and are you can't keep. Pretoria in Youkilis out in the same game you've -- to have want to the other net you know it seemed like Ed have you guys who who does not apple made just an Orlando looked better. Many years because. It would -- Pedroia didn't edit it today he worked -- he would have got to walk to your local machine thinks. You have a guy like -- and they're not everybody young guys they have to walk -- swing -- anything that comes close in a statement that they didn't that they don't don't look at the press picked up. I -- what I think it. Active -- open but he.

walk once but in the gonna keep in the lineup. Yeah aria -- take any of those guys that we Youkilis gone you need every possible stick you can cut muster. Now it's if it's important. And they don't Redick got a hit and get a unity a ground rule double in this ball game. And then looked awful later presumably there's only two extra -- incidents -- this guys hit and second in Pedroia is spot you know it. -- Ellsbury Redick Victor Martinez bay Ortiz or for four with three case today Lowell was so reported a Kotchman O for four. Okay you say will overrun it was -- it's -- right sometimes guys squat there they pitch and it doesn't matter who's walking up to plate with a bat but this was pre determined. This line up I mean Pedroia set on the bench and pinch hit for anybody. They're committed at all he had the complete day off. -- with a guy and second and -- Ellsbury gets a ground rule double early in the game -- the the double early in the game. What was that he thought it could've gone to third to by the way. And then here comes a -- Redick. I call pokey that's of I'm fond of tomorrow marks in New Hampshire hello mark.

There has to go Mikey Williams. I thought I'd -- question -- hang -- and let -- it would issue with opposition distinct green at the real liability. -- optics aren't up I was thinking maybe Donnie Sadler number Sherry to bill.

Let's go back and try to Donnie Sadler experiment -- smart move you know you might find him at Texas he's from there. You got that that's a good call there from mark in New Hampshire right on the money is everybody wants more -- morbid Donnie -- years and big time prospect this Cristian Guzman thing is I think some of the nation. Yeah well that's because. It's not going to be able to do it because Washington has placed on waivers wants to keep its place that they could though wouldn't it that would mean he'd have at least he's at 300 theater. You have -- for an easy shortstop for Nixon's -- in the car.

And -- going -- my you know I admit I'm my QB hard top marks in New Hampshire that all. No no problem do what I can and I obvious which -- a little bit might -- it is right around corners a lot more exciting and it I don't.

Don't get me dormant pre season -- more exciting race Mike McCann buy it. Mort well in September I'll be -- with -- that.

But they're living expert at everything I'm gonna say it right now I'm giants and listen to -- like to hear a lot about all he's one way or another. And you know that you think -- wanna bring up your. There's a lot of people complaining about Eli Manning's contract because of the contract. Number 81. You know go that route pocket about how pretty so much better and he deserves a bigger contract UN -- It looked brain operated better quarterback and chances are but I'm also in don't know what's gonna happen. -- don't know -- but. You know right now Eli Manning is the quarterback in New York Giants and people. Don't wanna take that in consideration. The fact that eating a Manning having to play in New York the -- market unit and the unit of playing. Outsource something in the guest -- 3000 yards or -- and he'd been.

Would you rather have a quarterback right now Eli Manning numbers. Her one we wanna hear this either CNN Brady's healthy -- relevant to be one game one year what do you want. Or next year -- not you are not Seminole is no no no -- in this season Brady's healthy.

That's stuffed animal homer you know I cattle like an answer that question object beyond what I mean -- ever at a lot of respect for brilliantly done. Well I just -- island -- correctly I mean.

Let me ask you this would you rather have. A guy who had sheet. To win his only -- oh god and not in my -- and my guy about a guy who picks his nose and wipes it on his uniform what all.

You rather than I thought I'd rather have a guy who doesn't have to rely on -- checkered bail amount it unit gains. As you know.

actually deep into in the -- Stevens. Upfront that.

yeah and that you know -- this -- you know list are the patriots go look got a solid team this year. I just don't know unsold on the east and I I like well what I think. You don't want to bet -- and you know now I like mail I think. Keep -- exciting young outside linebacker I'm like -- deep regret and courier but after that they don't have another top flight starter it would probably started it eat at.

What that Seymour -- store and mail. I don't Richard Seymour and -- are going to lose on this so we sent -- and allowed it Richard Seymour you wouldn't. Resuscitate this -- well you wouldn't get -- and -- Thomas would have started linebackers. You know the money it I just don't think -- got it let it yeah I think he'd be a better but it I don't think you reduce my tournaments coming up right.

Are mentioned mail where -- mention anything -- forty million mentioned in the.

And I had an article again I'm saying vote -- and awesome I'm back and I'm excited to see how well okay now hold out right now everybody who's gonna better won loss record you view the patriots and giants.

I'm gonna say the giants I think they're gonna pull addressing. He reached out to be spent the.

So they're gonna have a letter to develop better won loss record of the test in the UN -- of hundred bucks. For charity. Yeah yeah for charity it's for charity --

They when I woke up my word out are you backing up picked a better bet connectors. -- exactly.

I hope that you -- that you wanna Plaxico Burress is guns. Com and taking cheap shots at me. You well you're gonna like quarterback Rex knows what's on people's uniforms seats in the Super -- wanted to likes him. What you -- calling it Iraq --

I would take a quick break cover -- calls at this. The way it was station idea think aria WE -- the Sports Radio network player that's Korea.

Weakest lineup of sports talk radio anywhere on the planet it's right here. Please it's not WTI Sports Radio network -- WEEI -- come.
