Lou and Tom E's Table Setter

What are brand new takes you remove the microphones around microphones all have to because this was not working. Show -- who doesn't talk to rexrodt. Doesn't it does this bring to -- as well still. So it pops up and unfortunately I'm not seven season play. All isolating thank you were sitting in your forehead you're sitting on my -- tough to talk that would be very difficult to talk I could solid I could kind of and I'm sitting down and I did you guys know why I don't like -- sitting down and normally. Stand up for these shows -- I didn't notice. I'm very well I know I -- I actually showed a micron -- talked nonstop until until. Personal muscles and I like to make a shot offers I got. I I got my pointer frustrated with more aggressive -- don't -- the clear what. Which if it's it it's it's an issue because the -- in the -- I don't like sitting down I like you know moving guy. You know you can even once in awhile and no Billy -- is I don't want only to be -- reach over smacked a much fuel -- to say well that's nice though because a lot more light and it is a lot more room this -- comfortable with now we -- he's got one television sitting here in a hole in the ceiling but I might guess this. -- We -- things stagnant and happy Jeff British request a lava lamp and his little studio. But because you don't want I think he's just a calming effect perhaps -- this this is terrific we're happy they -- this in a nice digs everything is clean in here take a look at that arguing. Beautiful beautiful view of of the city and the whole one whole wall is all windows. We're before we -- people. And they kind of like me. I actually felt like an -- you know what you can major Sunni and only fuel for -- and then I saw how we feels now I understand it you know what he could have a great view to give traffic reports from the Pike County don't interview we could stay on that place where he's has a lot of residents traveled on the -- right now we're not -- will not affect -- Linda. Expands to -- does the -- they're because I. I know people are getting a little.

A panic because this is a big series right now. Red Sox and Tampa today and I understand and I'm you -- this in a second -- I'm a little bit confused at the Red Sox would lose sixteen out of seventeen playing that team in that the silly but we'll get to that the second so I understand. The Red Sox Nation right now is a little bit as we like to refer a scared little bit concerned. Because Red Sox have had very little success playing down there. But does everybody anybody realize here that -- dealing with a massive problem of trying to get to what is it October 3 from the end of the season the regular season. And as the math problem works. Basically the Red Sox are throwing their three best picture shortening lines up perfectly for me get your three best starting -- Lester tonight. And all we have to do. Is win one game I keep on your in this kind of sweep from Ottawa in all three -- Tampa -- pass to sweep. They have to win all three they're chasing the Red Sox right now if Tampa Bay doesn't win all three even if they went -- They came it came out of that they didn't basically game -- get another shot at the Red Sox you're a couple weeks. But that means it's even more vital that they sweep that series. They have to come up big the Red Sox to make. The more important game for the Red Sox of these straight. It's a game that Josh Beckett pitches because we've got to find out what he's got right now that to me. Is the most important thing I don't believe I I think this team can do damage. In the playoffs. Providing their ace is there race if he isn't.

This her -- she went to lot of three discuss the line at the rule out -- to shed Lester Beckett -- colts. -- With this hour on the mound followed by Paul Byrd. Who unless your do you expect him to -- six coalition everything monitors nobody set against Atlanta he might be all right well let -- get -- get -- populist Jim Coleman historic path we've in the white flag the -- such a -- done but you're no cost in the white fly and that's monopoly here the last -- have we seen the Red Sox okay we we should -- Detroit three out before we go on the road boost. Three out of four Texas you know we go on the road the -- follow we come back home we fix things coliseum golden road holding ground. One time unless I would understand if -- to expected to sweep or believe that they have to sweep. I I think now all I think too often people look at this as as an emotional. Situation as opposed to it really is an -- problem and and mobile level of.

Of angst around here during the yankees' series and couldn't muster Iran compared to the the overwhelming. You know optimism when you Roland Paul Byrd out for six scoreless innings I mean it's received. -- back and forth so whatever happens with Tampa Bay they can put their foot on the program of the rays over the next -- days. But if they walk into it just is Hussein if they walk into Chicago. And dropped two with two is Alan berg go to Chicago looks awful -- of course they do put the spreads are people who take -- yeah I think probably for another yankees are noticing a move that Texas pitching staff and you start to see -- right -- and they are with the pressure they're coming and they are exactly the reason why people said that about Tampa Bay last year. The exact -- recent Texas a great story great young staff that's how they're doing with young pitcher and and we are seeing it ourselves less Jewish -- essentially just what happens. Did you -- they it was a rare writing exactly that's what I'm saying -- I don't wanna call afloat if they're very -- they -- and I think they were very good team I think we're not a -- do -- what the Rangers pitching staff is doing right now young pitching staff is pretty much according to swarm of what you expect with young staffs. And how they fall apart at the end of the season when the pressure's not Tampa Bay last year after she -- was -- and good plus delete me. Have you know one or two guys inept inept batting order. That word that we're providing all the offense it was a different guy every night and it will get you good production top to bottom of that -- care what -- was happy.

Two with these young guys done in Texas you're punter Leo Holland you have Feldman all eleven great years. But like Tampa last year we're expecting listen they're good pictures but they're young you've seen Clay Buchholz school appearance. So two or three good games and get lit up for a game and come back and throw another great game. That's what you expect that young pitchers with Tampa Bay did last year TTP had dual because. They never -- Internet connection gain momentum as the season went on this Texas team more like the young team that we expect -- going to be last year. And -- that there -- four games back. But I do I just question whether they can even hold up I think the Red Sox who probably eventually have a bigger lead going the last two weeks of the season and we -- I think so tell me do you think the Yankees --

Clearly not only. Beyond reach yes. Don't match up on all schedule why Missouri town while I think I did first of all I think there -- too good to give up that cushion it's not like. -- they would have to fall apart. For for the Red Sox to be able to -- catch up here. And I think if you're the Yankees right now you're probably trying to get yourself a new positions of those last two weeks -- second lineup you can line appeared rotation. Where you don't forget -- it -- think -- just of the next two weeks ago when you try to play your best baseball obviously you care less aboard the Yankees do when you focus on the wild -- Two weeks from now look up. Look up at the scoreboard and see which you got to -- Hillary James okay if you don't you with three. Eight you don't show because that's important though because you wanna play this awful central you know if you can get there and I'm saying it doesn't matter usually get in. But if you can get there you'd much rather replay and Detroit at Minnesota. The new movie played well he asked me to question and do they have any chance of catching the Yankees but let's face it. There is no wild card or division race what is his. You're going not every day -- win as many games is you can't you need the Yankees to lose now we're going to we're losing streak if you're gonna accomplish that but yeah I don't think you set it -- at school or only goal for the wild -- no -- you're you're trying to win every game and whatever happens happens I just don't think I think -- decent -- good. Just to come and give up. Obviously I think they may get to a point where in the last couple weeks they'll lose some games there but I think the divisional lead beyond. You know Gingrich did -- situation -- block so but again. All just don't make it into the post season always found six of the last seven did change the winners in Little League World Series different while -- that's what matters. That's amazing yeah. Out of the vision thing is is -- it's an Adams division banner where else it's avoiding the Yankees to -- their first round I mean you almost -- a position where you wanna -- for somebody else it's not just a Red Sox have to track him down. -- you know you could look at it this way though did you -- sedated if you go the other way. You set up the Yankees to up against the angels -- and more right let's talk about got a son that's directly yankees not a -- difficulty --

That that's that's the reason why people a citizen I wanna win that division because -- Cabrera -- the central yankees play the angels. It's great but I did the Red Sox might have lost that opportunity when they played the Yankees while back you ought to do what they lost what five out of what was it six out of seven games against the Yankees they might a lost opportunity -- But in two weeks from now -- there and you deal with this walker you make the post season like -- said he's six back whatever it is two weeks looked up and see what you are feature with three with two weeks ago. Okay nice that they can division if not you start getting -- team healthy and ready to go to.

I just don't think the most important thing this week is too because he can't to a four games in Iraq. And that is Josh Beckett and what he brings to the table he's got to get his act together and always kept on who's got a few weeks to be able to do it but if he's not an ace. Going into the playoff spot I I'm not sure this team is gonna. I have a great deal of success are making a passcode number hi hey you know what Paul Byrd right now is fine to get Qiyue. To that spot especially when you plan to weaker teams he get a million Chicago now he can help you out you're gonna you've got him the other day against Toronto against weaker lineups. He might be able to do some -- I'm not sure you'll look at -- birth to a boy you know miles an hour in a post season post season you wanna have those power -- so you met if you line them up. If if Beckett gets his act together and he's back to where he was. Poll what he's like and -- he's now Wally -- in the post season then you've got Lester and Buchholz can maintain some type of stability here. I'll tell you this take got a shot at doing some damage -- now they got over 12 and three did got a solid bullpen and they are starting to shoot again.

So they just -- opportunities and -- it is an amazing how we've kept a little later Philadelphia kept wondering wind when the offense would kick in -- we're gonna get anything out of 789. And what's gonna happen can -- get some well Ortiz has been a big this is all the -- we talked about -- here we talked about you mentioned honing their medal wanted to get old -- got to line up and gets instruction -- success. And all of a sudden. You have. A check -- a guy who was almost automatic is who is five times it's been a star crossed season at this point in a lot of what's been you've been strange in the.

The whole Ortiz thing and I think he's been the biggest factor here recently is that he's got the pop back in the bat and he's able to win games week. You know walk off homer the other day. So -- I think that changes everything -- that dramatically and obviously Victor Martinez says but most pointed this out many times -- that. Basically he's come. Kind of firm most of his time here I've been filling in for somebody else it was kind of I'm on a -- an even the numbers when you look at him and kept catching. Both through the Red Sox and Cleveland issues only to forty -- and when he plays that position and J. D. Drew is going to be part of it has been lost on fire he's down there and it needs bought this seventeen bought. It's amazing what she's going to run and I ask your question yes. Will he be in the line of next week we're not sure weekend let's enjoy the most this is okay so what's priceless. Joy of the moment we've got to draw whatever try -- it does just -- good but because you know what. Because exactly what you said. He's been driving the ball he's winning games where you watch this guy play and -- this is a good -- it's not like -- some stuff. We sit there it's a stampede he's lazy and you know he doesn't -- need you don't need -- he's got an injury or soft. This is a good player always easy -- all I kept thinking give you 150. Games a season a 145 imagine looks like he did in the last month. Imagine how valuable yeah.

It just goes to show -- the offense can -- Hide a lot of things mr. put and seven runs eight runs up on the board. You know we don't sit there and talk about all we need a better defensive shortstop easy cost game and at two to one game -- very text not swing in a bad patent eighth or ninth -- whatever years. Why we more than guys -- when you -- 78 runs a game when you get away with -- and -- they get away with -- having a rough game. You can get away with clay but coaching get away with tech nuts when in effect great. It just it makes shipping so much easier -- early like a while ago Jon Lester was. Pitching gem -- vehicle one nothing game in the sixth -- give up a couple runs and we be talking about Lester is not what you know it's it's set up one nothing -- should have been fisherman a five Nelson. You know if there were swinging the bats well that's it makes a -- that much -- makes distress come off the pitch a step late in the game don't you get the lead scoring runs. Just covers so many things it makes you team look so much better and that's what they're doing right now the score a ton of runs. And then everybody and you know we get something not a drew -- one more more more yeah.

on just wanted to let you know I don't know I'm no here's the you know he's given it to don't know I love you -- I love what he's dumb question attack on. -- I'm not I am I am not in any way from its time we came in and hit that home run in ninety Astaro. He got pummeled for two weeks after didn't did you believe it was unfair. -- wasn't really a very. He wasn't looking at the wrong picture there wasn't -- one -- by JD. I don't know if you looks of the long you know he doesn't I think -- it I think that's his shoe that's what scares me is his focus seems to be. Yeah I actually not wide lens focused do you agree or not. I mean you and I even on the job but I'm not sure what he sees it clearly this is not a bad guy this is not a guy that's a -- that this is not a bad guy in this is a guy. -- great it was a real good all around player. And maybe he's the type of player that if he has a little twitch or something he really believes that he can't go out. And can play a 100% but. You don't want how many of those guys do you think right now playing in 82% 64%. 73%. But he's assimilate this season but think about the time they took off and -- that you're getting from -- wasn't significant time at the time he has begged off and -- those -- what about the time that he took -- a -- and how -- hurt this team. But doesn't help where Iran hasn't even part of the search -- shall we give them time off every three or four weeks that's the nature of that particular we play and they you know I'm just saying yeah. I'm just saying and -- right and inside I swear there might be more than one whale looked and had a baby. Did you don't want -- then -- Jamaica 110. And ten game play must realize they're 1400 million dollars I play I'm not in my. I just going -- guy I'm just say and his history is. To play a bunch of games to make season to drop off so I knew somebody was gonna want an excuse form tonight she. It's more aggravating. Because you can time how everything -- just talking about eight of 14000001 year eleven and then a major effect and should do is pay ten million for one month and and half a million for the other five guys that usually get out of the right. -- and he should be and how we -- you wouldn't -- what what what worries me is. I eight don't know how you can depend on him. Because everything is good and rosy right now in their hitting. In that lineup because guys like him. Are providing them that much but we gonna get tomorrow the next -- in the next night would surprise me at all we find out tomorrow he's gonna hammy or some issue when you can't play for three or four days. And then you're right he probably gets that timeout he comes back he's gonna get but that's what drives me crazy. So I'm saying this while he's going good right now. I am a scare you win at any I'm a junior -- absolutely if you wanna know why because I got a history on my site there's that you always drops and that's what worries me. I don't know how manager. Can manage a guy like that that would that would drive me crazy in that he is such a good player. And then you know that you're a much better team when he's in the lineup and yet did today you're not sure whether he's in that lineup.

Yeah -- we what you want from him just you want consistency you want. But what we need to wait for to a three months -- few minutes to ten -- hits 34 -- right and usually it's 340 for a month month and a half what scares me is that we've seen it now for about a month and -- dollars to go dominoes -- in September absolutely every year this when he -- a month month and a half of the season he -- actually ballistic. To make us realize -- why this guy get paid that kind of money headed for the remaining four and a half months he turns into a 230. 220 hitter. I do you just want can.

great -- that's what he has he's flown a mile and lose on any day now it could go south. Because he's due to go back beginning at 210 to fifteen to two toy there's no consistency and again as a manager I don't you -- elect I'll take a break and we'll get to the a phone calls. Because I wanna find out it's only Karen stake here on. On whether Brady's off the season and not so. Because he's he's usually use the season series -- various serious -- surely doesn't he through my library storming through practice is that it didn't he's ready as today don't. Why should exploit even -- yesterday is no he actually -- at the end of practice billion stand up for -- afternoon my I have to stand up my kid do this catch his CU and all obviously candidates who -- little caricature of the guy -- over the Wall -- all right I smell a cartoon only -- only good -- seem -- CNN here's the probably -- So that's standing up like a -- golf your arms are long enough. No actually they're not that's one issue but I think I can extend them is their god that you did Imus standard you -- trip down body by Jake. The it to somebody punch you can actually can extend now -- and I don't think it's yes I reality young -- dressed as -- and that -- I'll check it out.
