Lately which -- money in a freezer of the what do you tell -- tell us my brother and loans on the attitude that -- control my own show for a second don't get crap off the -- so little revenge you're. They saw what you -- Does this grab it yards no wraps up in a mind gives you good not only does it grabs enough sort of mind. -- was -- in charge of ordering it. As always. Joey had denied.

He said he was doing nothing associated with the -- and he's in trouble right now. Fritz Peterson albeit sports world the store. Excuse me August -- third. From new 10 AM till noon the money so -- resident. And I if you buy the book he wrote a book about stood -- have been no sign -- for free. You know he's he's of it's a very weird story from the seventies and Europe. You can't possibly remember a lot of people that weren't alive and member of Fritz Peterson might kick it swiped a swapping -- who package package. KE KI CH he could not have had a hot wife with a name like that.

They were both pot and pictures a -- package tactic. My -- it's left -- for the Yankees must have miserable childhood ticket. And it went out gonna get the email female -- done this week so well if you wanna vote go to WTI dot com slash.

She. Twisted -- And -- vote. Went down to Lindsay and and as Lindsey doing as a garlands of all their full knowledge he's gonna win it's pretty -- Lindsey should win. Currently Hudson as a hockey -- we we like they can go on there and listen to them and vote for the we'd like that because them have haven't will note tomorrow. She's -- cannot vote for the conduct. I guys this is an email I don't even opening tonight. From days. More than a day late and each of these but there's no expiration date for useless information first -- Billy Idol forty -- slip is just that. Give -- idols romance with math he would probably be more aptly named Billy Crystal. -- Next the one time topic band album covers Mikey should be familiar with -- Roxy Music they were response from the greatest cobbers. The cover of the ninety's a -- country like was quickly pulled.

hurdle that I I was open you gonna mention now let it lead those priests that was the day. Yes. Mikey he's a much better days now that when you were -- channel three TV's Hartford.

You're so much more better suited for radio. If he's gonna face for radio like great show because you offer unique spin on sports is what was of the toppers the -- Samuel Adams beer was terrific case in point case in point this guy's funny he's very sophisticated. Really enjoyed Joe's realistic and thoughtful focus on sports especially the -- and I said -- the ladies agree -- and 229 majority interaction between John ration Mikey. And Iraq. -- That's John rich. And I love John wrist when he gets the gravelly voice on that I'm direction of I'm a big fan my name is John.

Yes.

Bob -- checking it from Centerville Massachusetts and Garrett is in New Bedford which is kind of down near the shore that's in mass don't care.

Hello Garrett. Whoa now it's my fault okay. Journalists'. Stories out. His back we hear Garrett. Are you noticed the right that's as well yeah I was doing so they sell. The your food. So it at least I -- was technicals. Those votes. Every. Program. Excuse me 800. About it on the -- As well. Mikey get irritable he's like an angry bear witness on Timothy by the boys -- that game they -- that they -- each -- became cannibals as a result hungry. So what you have -- I'm going to could have -- muscle cell -- time. He gets on that -- put him back nick is its third bridge where they have a lot of pilgrims.

Every I don't know how are you how's everything down near round group ninety. If everybody not -- drive or out of right now it it would look better earlier.

highway Massachusetts Mikey -- on which one or 95 no question like it were best. Really now in the whole coast and say -- I could think of -- few things but -- like -- two very -- right its new.

Go ahead -- Or -- I've probably both drive times don't have anywhere you -- need to be probably. About do they have to. True very true. So what's --

Opt out what fox parent arm -- then they're gonna get wild card all the because. -- go all comic -- are now by now we're gonna law and you know what are not it should at the ears. You know that all heard it on or at a dog.

2006 when they went nine in 21 and they fell apart and and I think you see a lot of parallels between what happened that year would happen this year and I think. That's -- little concern you write most of the years they've been strong in August but they've looked nothing but week this month.

Well I mean we need coming we need something like capital for awhile and Varitek that Serbs started -- they Iran has sparked everything.

An army honestly don't depend on all of eight -- You know you're at a lot more pressure on but I -- I need to know from you right I'd say I'm that are a little while there. Are -- I don't. -- Yankees past you know ears but there are other current joke what go. -- but I mean we gotta -- ought not it would --

That is very true and -- that's really an observation that the real problem here in new take all these other things you wash a mile away we if you know of these guys were hitting at all. Then it would be twelve and fifteen in my right fifteen to twelve million dollar or seventeen and ten or something you know.

They don't have. That fallback option anymore that's the problem is they kept out slug guys and it's been slowly declining. Since you know 0304 when it is ridiculous powerhouse teams. Pieces have been taken out and now they're just nowhere near that but I think it's more than that I think. There's four or five things that are really wrong with this team in the -- factoring together. To -- we're seeing here which is a partial collapse. And it could get really bad if the Yankees coming here in just you know don't even say that like you do you see the pitchers that are gonna pitch in that series so CC AJ Burnett -- that three of the guy that way -- them down and Wiki stating desperate at Fenway acknowledged that I've lost ventures -- they they did they kids survived in part. If they're flat ball pitchers wouldn't they be having trouble at the new Yankee Stadium with -- balls are flying out to all fields did I say they were fat -- pitchers and ugly pictures -- video you're right you're right in the statement you you can add that into the mix chosen western -- or other side's gonna end up let's hear it.

Well here I'm gonna over there prognosis that if they don't sweep the Yankees. They're not gonna that they're not gonna be the wild card.

you wait I -- commitment hear from you on right this minute Joe not. Don't tell me you're gonna to make up your mind after the Yankees series because that's not fair embryos is -- guessing as of right now.

Don't make it to the to the wild card -- to the division. It they're neither oak okay so they're cooked stick a fork and a.

They're -- in the air here's why we think if they cannot put their game face on and really just kind of pull their skirt. And -- there you know.

That's -- the skirts or down them pull them up yet -- what do you group what do you grab when you put your skirt.

Very well you know we're on network radio here's some -- are we are in the other point I wanna make I'd say. And this just my opinion but there's an integrity issue and I hope I don't give it -- sent but I mean. There's a few spots where this until we are -- because of this you know. All being out of that being on the West Bank and affecting them and it's affecting the team dynamic.

He hit a couple home runs this week announced it's affecting many more I think what he did was he let loose all the feelings or bothering him inside the press we outside that -- You know said he was disappointed and hurt by the of the local coverage which I think has been pretty good I think he's really. Blown out of proportion but I think once he got that off his chest. It allowed him to kind of relax and go back into it he looks like you start to get hot again but. Like we said he's not the same Ortiz the used to be people just. Realize that the me ask you if you noticed Joe was -- notices you go to quick break here in the last time Jon Lester warning game. It's been awhile because of the bullpen has blown a couple for him and he's been locked in some nice tight match July 25 still stuck in nine wins -- at nine and seven yeah.

We'll get right back to the phones in a minute on a bigamy. The picture here that I see Andy there's and we just -- the big stumble said the big choke is Indies in there and he's very being.

I'm gonna wanna record -- by presenting records that show. Brad Penny suns. I mean as a person. -- It's good thing because he's friends with like all kinds ultimate fighters that would probably just a grass at all he gave me it's squish him like a body serious guy a million dollar dream of the DDT or whatever the hell it is they do is that the clients snuck off the top -- called it so you cities are -- second half pitcher he's -- that's.

Five he's been terrible in the second half wears down you can -- not a big conditioning guy the problem that I see with them is that. He just throws fastballs he really doesn't have any other pitch that you know guys can layoff and once hitters really get into it after the first few months of the seas -- they get a good look at the 98 nice amount fastball that still -- that if they know nothing else has come.

He was five and four at the All-Star break and and now he's. 77. So he's been to win three but. You know I mean he he policy. He got a lost 62 against Toronto after the All-Star break. Brad Penny then he got. Colon site yet get lost six of forego 64. But he got a at a loss after winning beat Baltimore 321.

Yes virtually 1012 starts head into the break their it was Oakland beat him there was 56 innings three runs and a single day I'm item. And then it like clockwork once second half it. He started -- just given it up he started getting tired even -- when he was we -- those five and six -- stands -- up three runs yeah he was getting hit hard they were just hitting it right at people meaning he was given apple out yeah solid an idea and he's been walking guys and -- he's been let -- every base runners steal forever now it's 27 recently -- resentment stone -- he has given up that's more than. Twice is minis anybody else the Red Sox staff and by far he's got a legally legally FaceBook nice Freddie is in Narragansett. Rhode Island.

And -- and -- Beautiful sticky and heavy use on and screw them. Any excuses. About it. Which. All will be okay. And could actually saudis all Obama all.

actually is not an army. Launched an entity and that and its own.

And -- compete. And --

So upsetting to me. -- sounds like the worse lake yeah you worst nightmare undertaker at a Red Sox season right there he's he's he's just reminded me of heard -- gains in Needham and many -- ago let's just say that after that for now we all agree with that let it go back to the meant Iraq he also stand I had -- that -- today -- of course -- unbelievably cool -- is the coolest -- He really is with the hair in full fat and I think he -- isn't all sharpness stash was just like every living color to bark -- like a lot dams are gonna. Not Higgins told that a misprint that you have a problem with him.

Now while the -- Just. Could record in -- we agree I got but we could demanded he apologize probably different on this.

Different for you for where you've considered not doing steroids or -- marching his good name is that we did have its -- Mikey. So why do you have any evidence Sammy Sosa did steroids.

Yeah he went from being a sort of media responded hitting sixty. You can almost a pathetic loser.

How do you know how good Frank Thomas was before he started doing the Jews.

Every little bit it is number of pretty consistent you never hit it look like I like the sixty homers he. You've got 3540 Albright I would amazing plate discipline he walked a -- I.

He was died he died from -- when it was an operating costs of -- just 'cause he had great plate discipline news strikes on was six put -- does that mean and steroids is an idiot. Obama for Obama sect and is there any possibility that Frank Thomas is Libya of physical specimen that like one in in two million people. As just a freak and you'd of course that the possibility of course there's. 4342. Is the most. The -- yeah.

Nobody to legitimately great -- I mean.

And I say that I but I had people call me saying the same thing about many Dan. Maybe you just ended 2004 when I said Manny was there would steroids every call me all kinds of names that is crap and just a naturally great hitter. And guess what he -- a -- three -- don't I don't nine.

Would you say it all those people might cut would just say. All the people that it did disagreed with you didn't and not beautiful apple is as good as it it was very adult about it the guys said Andy yeah. That's very nice many suck up and.

On the go I don't cooperate with the Mitchell investigation. When he cooperate. Moody yet is that ballot but I investigator told is that at all and that's your question the only player in Beirut based on the.

Well I think there was -- Rafael Palmeiro Natalee went from congress and denied but he deep voice is heard all of us.

Or you didn't cooperate with Mitchell investigation. Steroids and.

Certainly say on the outside Frank Thomas appeared to be gotten it seems like at least he had nothing to -- because. He was in that famous congressional hearing. That Palmeiro you're talking about was that -- I think he was on the -- because -- there on location at that and -- right cooperated with Mitchell this. It looks from the outside like he's like you would be clean but who knows a lot of us will know unless there's concrete evidence one way or the other -- that shadow of doubt that means everybody in -- data.

Injury they might not applied Campbell what I'm saying EU is when he was twenty. Four years old -- he five. He won MVP real -- Grady was 41 home -- right. And that in 1994 he won MVP historic shortened year. So at age 45 please excuse this guy and then at the age of 303132. Exit different guy complete.

right that's evidence right there I would say just a huge natural. Don't know where you're allowed the steroids caught -- the steroid use from earlier I'll I'll I'll might expect that. Being completely illogical this wait a minute understand what. You're seeing Frank Thomas right you've seen them you'll look at an avenue Tellme which steroid guy it is confirmed and and -- and convicted is less hot hitting him. Narcotic and in my.

I can -- if you're lookin' purely for statistical evidence that a guy used steroids you're either gonna see one -- two things most of the time you're gonna -- god had one season that was -- out liar and was completely different. Allah Brady Anderson from everything else where it pops fifty home runs and was never that guy before or since or you'll see a guy that gets better as he's in his mid thirties.

I don't that's right you can see Dallas right now I think you're doing a right from the beginning and it doesn't follow that pattern.

What you just that Mike Levitt that said that that evidence against him that he broke down in the mid thirties when that is the normal. Career arc for -- baseball player that oracle ought to be the evidence could see if you're like Barry Bonds hitting. 5067 Albert what you gonna wait for.

You know now you're telling me I need more evidence on a guy who's hit forty home runs in the steroid era who looks like that any evidence okay yeah well did you read I think Roger Clemens steroids and did you think Bo Jackson was on sirens and what I probably shortly before you want that -- They don't threaten did you think -- doing steroids went winning four years ago did you think Roger Clemens is doing steroids I.

I do a billion reverse stock above under -- steroid there what is at what a story about and come out would yell at -- mean. But according did you do it or not -- or are about Raphael Palmeiro do you.

He did did you did you think he did steroids.

Another guy who now I I didn't have any. Sort of you know that he you would think that.

Okay our and his same thing applies to what you think about Frank Thomas right and I thought it said there's some reason you don't Nazis he could go under the umbrella of the steroid Gaza -- listen you do you believe that there is some reasonable doubt within all these guys right.

Merrill -- well -- I say reasonable doll like frank I'm I'm saying with any -- that played in that air there's some reasonable doubt that you know they might use something right. Yeah sure I just don't from a pretty reasonable place there Mikey thinks there might there's some doubt you know there's this little bit thing going on where he might doubt the legitimacy of these players but. The statistics don't match up with Frank Thomas we will take a break in and so he gave his read on where he thinks the red as those in Wisconsin that's an excellent job did we -- so -- coming right up at. After a short break and that --

Have one of those nice long signatory talked at least seven calls in a row. While ago we've done about how funny would be give Mike Adams his own show politics -- yeah. -- see if it's planet Mikey with Mike Adams on the WEEI Sports Radio network.
