Have Schilling joining us later in the program by chance you know the senator much senator Schilling will be joining us on the stump but here's what's great about actually like him or hate him and or worse somewhere between. He knew me he. Won't -- you know some people say they would like the job but they don't wanna go from the hassle of running. I almost think it's the opposite which telling me he would like the job.
He would enjoy. The power of the the prestige just the actions of being in the Senate but he wouldn't mind. That the the campaign. He wouldn't mind -- fight he would mind the attention. That drives a lot he would -- the scrutiny all the best part of -- he'd be like god. Jesse the body Ventura in terms of -- athletes that attorney politicians because they're loose cannons which is good. Which are like that if you're a talk show host yeah it's gonna hear a torture well I think it's a good if you're voter -- would you prefer the more of them are a little more candid. Lets you know that better than anybody about it Tom Brady for instance if he ran for office I think he would be the Smoot kind of you know god I would say the right thing and in in if you if you were to run for office you know the chilling would be coming out of would you shoot from the hip. Right politics as we know that he usually does apply what this if you don't comply but he got what it does make good theater.
And it doesn't make for an exciting campaign. Which is something we would all enjoy a member Dennis Miller supported Ross Perot. Never forgive -- for that I'll never forgive Ross Perot for. For -- Clinton on a straight years it was all his fault. But he support he explained his support of Ross Perot this way since he he just. Really wanted to see him go to Washington. Stand up before whatever for the the house of the -- do the state of the union and say.
You wouldn't believe what this guy said to me you know you wouldn't believe what he was promised and -- you play if I supported so its arsenal -- that you would vote for children. I would indeed you were -- well I'd vote for Schilling or anybody else who runs against Democrat I don't. You know. I would run and I hope he runs -- ports -- it what as a politician here is an excellent baseball pitcher. This is sort of the delicious that they about Jack Kemp who want to you know a lot of these guys at least work their way up through customs City Council -- and like Ted Kennedy had worked their way up. Like Ted Kennedy. -- here's what here's what it's all about -- you have to make a choice and in a vacuum you considered saying it was Schilling's -- qualified. Schilling's cut Q and a credentials -- as a carpetbagger or whatever but he's gonna run against one of those.
One of those flawed candidates on the left -- right he's gonna run against. Apple Lional or Marty -- on a loving family my -- Clinton at least that work your way. Ruth -- who watched that through the system you know they means they held office they actually older audience -- baseball pitcher they actually held an appointed position art collector and vigilant don't imagine that these are already in the back pocket of the of the teachers unions public employee unions -- Already. A stab was their move back credentials that already voted for for cap and trade that already supported this. The port it was built -- already. Done what. A lot enough damage OK you've done enough damage. It's time to try something new I thought well -- open changed don't like change. We like changing -- that Islam and we support changed -- but I mean so instill -- still have support of change but but not but what's it mean what what's wrong with -- on the lot wrong masters. In the got to fix it but senator isn't fixed Massachusetts. You said 47. Years of the most entrenched. Most inside that senator -- history of the Senate. I mean and you wanna continue backed. I want hope I want change that's me I must. Welcome change just change a right just change in the bloody sock and the -- And television channel we need these -- part of the city that's a joke yeah. It's a joke Kevin a baseball pitch kind of silly -- not how are not unlike how are like Al Franken will pose a serious candidate.
Oh -- that's a joke deficit a senator who's who's a ball player unlike. Al Franken as senator Jesse venture or is it -- men -- got a -- It's it's it's easy on you which is hardly a person of Ronald Reagan it was an actor Jim Bunning. Today -- college football and I believe was swimmer. He was you re College Baseball play by play limit what you which should disqualify him right there -- model for Curt Schilling would applaud Jim Bunning yes which is okay -- K bargain which shall drive that Democrats not -- Jim Bunning is the most abrasive confrontational. Little bit unhinged. Right Winger. Of the mall -- he's over the hill like you can use -- today voted by time magazine as one of the five worst senator which is again that's good enough for me if time magazine says is bad senator. Right there and then fumbled for -- precedent for this not just Jim Bunning and -- I have a couple names of athletes turn politicians. Poster child senator battleground. I don't think he's sort -- got a short it was he broke his way he'll Bradley was in the -- easiest of basketball player. I mean in another certified moon bat which is the only reason. That he somehow different from. From other athletes because he's just did a committed leftist so he's okay that means he's. He's enlightened ranks yeah intelligent Jack Kemp check Buffalo Bills quarterback brilliant men really really stressed passed -- last year. And -- had not met -- new me shook his hand looked me in the that just really got the final results -- important provision. -- when bigger write you write down the list Jim Ryan. Track and field for. I have been around here of of course not because -- usually Republicans because there. Self reliant in and achievers in outlook and for. Steve margin Oliphant football it was a it was a rep JC watts JC watts. -- Jesse the body number matter -- to silence WW. WW I don't Bob Mathias I don't know Bob Mathias. Kaplan guy. It's okay if you don't want to support him but I I can't stand this idea that you dismiss about it and because he's just a ball player. I mean honest to god what -- as compared to one as compared to a career politician. A career -- someone's never held the job in their lives this guy had earned. Everything you got what I'd like to don't -- the ultimate meritocracy of stump speech at 9 o'clock a W media to a good question -- will -- I'm gonna have to step back and what you challenge themselves you know all. Pretty much -- and Schilling will be on the air what are these on line 99902. And I don't tunnels but he always knew all I know. Is that he would do this. He would relish the fight in the most of these people. Including Peter -- of the Democrats. They just wanna be senators you know they don't like fourth they'd have to -- Don't look forward to the media scrutiny that'll look forward to the debates don't wanna put the ad campaign against Schilling looks forward to the fight. Almost thinks like if I don't win I'll have a good time that's what -- I like that's why tickets legit mean. It's I'm not saying he's gonna do it but I don't think like unlike most guys and like. Number of people -- could soon. Race for governor or even the seat in the Senate seat. He says in print. Do it I'll debate on global for the cameras I'll do interviews you know he doesn't mind that right to me that's what it's for maybe you do they get elect don't surgery elect didn't go Gerri this for six years. Anybody weaker right meter runner Akron U and are any credentials what to -- this illusion -- yes yes that's what. Citizen legislator is. Professional politicians are an abomination. There there there antithetical to everything founding fathers had in mind. A a man one man in the Senate force 47 years is up steam is wrong you're not supposed to. Sit there it's a -- got a career on the sit my fat ass in Washington. For the next half century that is wrong and for for the fact teachers. And parents. Don't teach this children that this is not what the founding fathers had in mind to me is is wrong. It is it is foolhardy -- can tell kids. That's each state where you can be encouraged to be actor witnessed him Senator Clinton was with our product and every time we love this -- it was a great senator 300 laws with his name on it. That's supposedly -- What makes -- lower -- and.
Matt we -- more laws what fewer laws and in the fact that he -- name 12000 bills so what what are they what kind of bills today. Not good for the citizens of the com. Not good for the taxpayers. Mean ninety additional the colonials that you that your interest in hundreds of writers I work for a living -- protectionism not.
And when -- it in public employee about YouTube teachers union member Amato lay about those are the ones that love. Deals with Kennedy's name on them. The people who worked for live in the pocket. Doesn't benefit them mean as the Rush Limbaugh said it best he was a lion in a lion of the Senate and we were his.
Pray marshalling senate has yet. Open -- and a shoulder Schilling will join us at nine last person I'd rather have Curt Schilling come back to the Red Sox and -- judgment. And not run our -- for the -- know what just be tantalizingly Schilling is looking at the National League right the only Brad Penny which struggled to throw five and went gators average innings it was clear it is actually 27. -- It's John -- he never got a six no problem goes eight strong. Against you brought to its share of world champions. Philadelphia wild as any pitcher who's a free agent of it for free agent. Africa regulated. -- well why don't you ever one you get paid. Almost the same amount paper and predators are out there. A little late for -- that just examples that it possible -- petty Joe open yeah that's true assign each of us on this still thriving in the nationally it's. It's you know the mine -- it would be like putting. You know guys who can't beat tiger you're putting Mickelson and and and fewer on the nationwide tour and that's it -- wow look. You know he's he's ten under he's ahead of but it surely is the competition since it -- and that's -- that this -- exit the city Utah the National League overly Elizabeth and he's hitting 400. I use it to her husband's 300 plus.
The question a gentleman becomes -- simply that's. Has Jon Lester. Leapfrog mister Beckett has been no starter and we know why this is important but it independently -- in my mind. Is that in a five game playoff series in the first round. If you draw the schedule where you'd need for starters. The first and the fifth guide that god becomes the little guy in return to series. So you absolutely positively. Have to have the number one guy. Definitively set to go in games one and five of the first round of the series. Now again depending on the schedule we know that there's some vagaries there that his days off and sometimes you go with three blah blah blah. Has Lester some collected bracket as number one starter should be and more importantly. Would Francona. It was a good read historical question worth the read that's a better question what Lester over -- against number one.
NT two questions are yes and no. Yes he's clearly the best pitcher they've got right now the best he's clearly the -- and you know they would know he's a diva because he's too petulant. His record is afraid of them because they're all that yes all that but just baseball protocol you company's. And especially if it's a bad -- you know tough talk and Texas -- and it's always a great playoff -- these two have kind of established their rules long ago so -- is not -- pitchers and I should be starting game one he won't even whisper that he will gladly beat the game two starter. Pakistan's game one. And you know what Beckett probably -- their -- beauty and then Francona and beckoned anyone else to say you have -- wanted him to. -- would disrespect there won't bailed out on him. And -- what he did he came up big isn't very hardest job to put the best -- doesn't it -- as they don't do that all the time you know that they -- they keep Dice-K how many starts Daisuke. It was clearly wasn't gonna win. You know -- buckles in the mine is when he was a much better pitcher than -- and Daisuke they have they left David Ortiz out that that. To struggle mightily for four months. They don't always put the volatility you're trying to tell me in the 45 starts that are left to -- And of Beckett continues to plummet and Lester continues to shine. That is assuming they make the playoffs. That you believe that cart launch. Josh Beckett will be and that's a good question what would it take for him to get -- plant that would take the but the thing is he has to start. Anyway and -- what you point is in the five game series -- the during the first. It's huge and once you -- one you got back back to the fifth game. Back and and you know what if you're the wild card games though on the road list is good road -- playing in an.
I -- I think you idiots at the question the answer your question is. If he has it is an eight point. Eight ERA guy the last the rest of the way he would start game one and if he's up five ERA together rest of the way he's starting game all the steps that are very close you could run -- You know the twins are going to get back. Edited newbie at last four start -- stock well home runs and are rising for Lester -- runs in four starts and -- did -- last night and charged back sort of legitimate question. -- spot when he for -- retaliate and ice I'd say as of now now the things can change. Can you will get -- Francona and.
Have to change and it it's funny because. We don't know pitching don't know when I was pitching and I love this idea that oh John Farrell each each issue a lot of people think federal should be held accountable -- for one how do you do that. You hold John -- he has him. -- And and ram he's good at this to be isn't going to try to fool you this complexity seem that's a cutter he has no Clooney knows it. And and DO knows it Morgan pretends he knows we talk about he has no clue we don't know projected on a pitching I think. You know I think we don't know what -- struggle we see the replay I mean liberal moral home run last night are clearly he hung and off speed pitch. Why do anything or wide throw that -- could be located who they'll know more.
On for a photo when we come back and take a break Bob knew -- were nominated Vince hall to vote for -- she'll let you know shot. We'll take your -- doctor Gloria called six point 77790850.
