Dale and Holley Opening Segment

Today could be the battle of the dueling Bernanke's. Because I admit OK I admit. I emanate Jacoby Ellsbury fan -- should -- and you know kind of jump on the bandwagon a little early in men didn't look so hot for a little while Letterman. Jumped on the Jacoby Ellsbury bandwagon and opulent pretty good about my my pinky right now it's a great great great plays last night accidentally that is awesome. -- on the other hand needs to shot up. I don't I'm not an issue probably that I believe me I -- and I don't know when you you'll we do for a living. I got an issue with your pinkie I don't know -- I mean he is throwing a whole bunch of people under the bus didn't name names that's the problem. Because now everybody who was hurt gets called into question I don't anybody who was hurt. Whether you know I mean. I guess maybe Tom Brady doesn't count as we know yet knee surgery. But if you -- his other -- and happy and that's exactly if it if you were hurt and missed games for the patriots last year Ellis Hobbs is calling you out.

Well Michael Berger has something for burger would you like to would you like to give dale. His gift. Right now yes give it to him right now I'm okay come on it. Catalogue walk now as easy for the for the kid but now he's got a good all around that way. He's got -- around the bowling -- I'd just pass the hot -- hangs a quick right that's something that you can put your family. -- I wanted -- our television -- you don't we get Carlos Powell has -- Everybody at home will be able to see that you can describe. What's going on there which are holding hands full color photo.

For. The full color -- of the extra ram in. -- It says stuff like that out later it's your -- it doesn't matter right it doesn't matter of Playgirl a couple of years ago. And -- art -- looking like the Nomar cover actually to know why didn't have any of his underwear Shalit but here's a look at. -- the new carpeting we're doing the whole clean out your office type stuff. I know for a fact this came from your ass kicking. Off the minute ago and the pinup in as a -- on the Michael Holley.

Also -- of the office and Ellis Hobbs Bobble head over the proposed don't know we're talking about custom made by the way Philly Philly dot com yesterday. Bob -- over at the story Eagles still have tool at cornerback. And Ellis Hobbs goes on and says a lot of things.

Lot of up I don't have a problem that he he wants to be a starter I don't want a guy -- forming who who doesn't wanna be a starter. He thinks he should be a starter 'cause he's been one in this -- is issue is with the guys he's competing -- Philadelphia he's one paragraph here.

Yeah he said is pretty much he was he was playing hurt and he didn't appreciate how the the patriots didn't drop. A play with a torrent labor and in my shoulder and a sports hernia. Not one day that I shut it down. I was a starter and on special teams -- anything that was required guys were dogging it in tanking it sometimes I mean what about the sometimes faking injuries and getting a certain amount of how --

How shall -- of how it's like to beat anybody on the team who missed games last year because of injury Tedy Bruschi. And rescue missed the last four games a year and injuries I don't with the Richard Seymour you can throw his net actually last year he played fifteen degree. Killing missed one -- not -- well see that's the problem. If you don't have the courage. To go further and Enron I Watson well whoever it is your call and -- And here's to prosper or does of of the gutless way he did this ports at attracting a who's -- got hit totally got it if -- if you're really gutless you wouldn't mention anything. By the way probably would have been smarter on his own set up what you wanna -- today he's gonna say you know some of those things were taken -- I don't know I didn't mean exactly the way it came now.

He's -- to report on your problems in New England. When it happened it was more relief for me -- department betrayed felt like it didn't get my just do what I was there. -- You. Let's don't you turn their back on me now. He's at the picture Ella come out with. I bubble I got there got a Ellis Hobbs Bobble head anybody get the picture of the pulsing -- Ellis -- mom doesn't have the Bobble actually he's at but I want to many. -- get their just do well. It is not affordable -- one guy before the next. Oh remind you that live with the tropic thunder culture there at the line topic done on the -- playing the dude disguised as an attitude -- that it.

a bulletin for EH three okay. He wasn't the only guy on the patriots who played through injuries that a couple of other guys. I'm not saying he didn't album I'll take them and it has worked as a few other guys who played through some stuff. And for him to -- an -- gutless fashion basically. Cast suspicion on anybody who missed time last year.

It's weak on imaginary line moves follow up and -- who are we talking about and he will be. Happy yeah I bet you know that he's gone out Dean Pees for putting him in that bad position. In the Super Bowl. In other guys hurt. He's given everything absolutely had in the first half became publicly huge intercept pop -- stopping a draft. Stopping -- drive as a matter of fact if the game headed into the first half. Ellis Hobbs with a -- dirty trick on the men -- second half of what it of the Super Bowl MVP he's not here anymore really deal with the living right here. And now what game that's that -- It was -- attack.

And you know we we said yesterday. For Tampa. I mean they really had to take or have to take they still can. They really have to take at least two out of these three I think it's a tomato in the last some semblance when the next -- right they have to. You know the way the Red Sox played last night. Jon Lester continued what has them a remarkable run of pitching his wins and losses don't reflect in my opinion how well he's pitched. And we've been saying for a while now Terry Francona doesn't manage to send him now is he does in June or may. And all you had to do was look at bases loaded nobody out in the eighth inning to realize.

a little different not a shocker at the first you know what I heard and Diaw and Dave Roberts right there. Talked about six outs. And how pap Obama's going to be in that position now sickened now. What he's doing is going to be doing that -- not to but I thought it was -- still going this is the toughest situation in the game doesn't matter what happens in the ninth Daniel -- not pitched -- these out I'm here get out of the situation maybe give up -- you know -- concede that bases loaded nobody -- nobody out chances are -- somebody's body gets out of the inning. With some help thank you pat -- Pat -- It was kind of computer.

Little vapor locked areas confused what did Roberts hit the nail on the head. Why are you up the base at all. I mean the men of the balls in the air you around the base no matter what if it falls in your score anyway it doesn't falling to take off right.

He just screwed but it's probable bond comes in that situation and I'm -- okay who get these doubts that a turn it over to somebody else. A six out save for him. Is so -- as -- the first time.

He's never done is done that in the last the last Red Sox six outs say it was in 2006. It was September 5 the 2006 it was timlin. And let's be honest the season was gone by then. I mean it was in October and it was almost like just get.

Some crowds here -- you don't -- we've had this debate before and I was thinking about it last night. After watching Papelbon complete the six out -- You've said before that you don't really think complete games is an overrated stat -- really you give a lot of credit to those guys I. They are times when in complete games don't mean any any raw realities -- some some some complete games which is stupid. I'm able what are you trying to prove well what what to try to prove his that you you can. Finish the job yeah started and I think that is a little tiny basic attitude and -- in baseball attitude and I endorse it completely. See when you saw Jonathan Papelbon get that six out save last night a lot of people going to be giving them props to all that's great. Good for Tito doing that while those calls Cupertino -- to get people saying. Of that -- that's what that's awesome out bombs that would it is our right -- Raddatz is -- It's like that -- fingers and in Goose Gossage is that all the time and so. I understand when Eagles got that we had a month a couple of years ago when he wasn't in the Hall of Fame. And he took exception well with the statement that Mariano Rivera as the best closer of all time right -- it's apples and oranges you don't something. That I didn't do. I didn't have four out saves. I didn't have three -- days sometimes to get it. A couple of couple innings sometimes they're giving it to 13 -- thought about that all the time I -- I absolutely have so much respect for those guys. And I do give him credit. For the -- they have.

Well it's unusual I mean as we said it hasn't happened here with a Red Sox since 2006. Timlin gave a six out save and -- wasn't a closer anyway as we all know he was -- Relief pitcher but he wasn't a closer he would just dialed up the last six outs and got the same -- they they have hidden in Terry Francona it's time here. He has never used disclosed in the way he did last night well not.

Now he's got the opportunity to do it. Let's say. And maybe tonight maybe Billy Wagner nor Papelbon is available that's a good gas well last Wagner Wagner -- minus Alaska but then you can go to somebody else yeah expanded -- Daniel -- there. You've got Saito I mean he's the guy who's been used when Papelbon has been on and got Saito and in cycles numbers. Are deceiving. I mean it off the top your head he said if somebody asked you know Tennessee's need things like those haven't you wouldn't be impressed right. His numbers are better numbers are -- and numbers are more impressive than the performances -- but yeah the guy obviously who's close before. So as it was a strong move from Francona. To go Papelbon at the most critical moment of the game and really you can save the strong -- started for the series began because he lied about the way you wanted it to.

PE intentionally set up the pitching you know I think in in Terry's mind he'll never admit this one we asking today. In his mind he was thinkin' weaken weaken and eliminate the Tampa Bay Rays this week. I'm agree that we can win there and eliminate them that it's a -- not mathematically. But realistically we can eliminate -- this way.

Joe Maddon was taken the same thing as he went to the fountain view an expert isn't just for -- What I was one of those things where he promised his team he'd dye his hair was on a road trip recently and and I don't last I looked for -- got justice is Allison. -- like he's playing in back. I'd like a 1950s. Movies some. Some biographical piece of a Harry Truman or something what is going on there.

Not a good look for Joe and outlook allow I think I think Terry managed. As you said even before the series by lining up his pitchers. Certainly managed last night like you know all we can put the nail in the coffin here. We committed here and take two out of three they're in trouble we take three out of three they're done it's -- and and that's how we that's how he managed last night you know we got to win the first 11. Will worry about tomorrow will worry about the next day. But he'll manage -- pretty similarly Papelbon is obviously not available tonight I doubt Billy Wagner is either but he'll manage justice as strike Knightley as he did last.

Tommy didn't think it was going to be another one of those strange Tuesday night's. Before the Wednesday at her.

When Hideki Okajima couldn't that you wear me out yeah I was --

just he just at at times and this is where the body language argument is very dangerous. Because when he does this thing you cannot tell now. If it only does well you can't tell these have I he gets up upset. So when this happens it just looks listless and disinterested which is totally unfair if you got that way all -- nobody's ever talked to him. You know he doesn't. He's he's not the most. Gregarious guy is that gonna give you tons and tons of quotes after again.

Here's our schedule for today -- Red Sox reliever Billy Wagner will join us sometime after 11 o'clock we don't know the exact time. I'm Terry Francona we don't know the exact time twelve vote to we'll talk to the manager the caucus history. You can not got that Blackberry go on air helicopter make that call you don't need you don't need Philadelphia -- and making plays like those hospitals and you've got a number in that machine right there I know you do I wanna know who you're talking about.
