I just like -- channel music else you know it's his domain blame him we all have a responsibility right -- and you -- you do the intro yeah. They handle the button pressed the buttons I do my thing just does the music leader do. Metered dose a little flashes speak he gives us hogs from Geneva Kyra yes truth be I don't gets. Well actually didn't get us watered I was down something known turn to get water caught up. First and foremost truck bring Dunkin' Donuts that's true judge Jackson smartest one of all loans.
He knows he has a lifetime job security elements that coffee's great knew we get here he is good we will never play issue even if you. Even if you play you would know that you play just clear some can choose to kick Shenzhen redneck in -- music but you know we've -- chances to upgrade that position have --
Yeah -- noticed that they were both said -- ankle bracelets on -- after increasing among weak memory stick with our guys is so bad data Plaxico I'll get to that the second. There's -- had head -- I heard a hundred different commentators. That's a sad day the Plaxico -- the job though was to pay off -- the stupid day for Plaxico stupid night. Get to that the second you know how I like to tie things up a nice little neat little packages. Yet you like to be tied up occasionally to ignore you and -- hit a lot of neat little package. And AM hey in the national. Not beat Wallace back in a nutshell. Can we do not agree. That both Zack Greinke and Tom Menino. We're landslide winners in the respective races yes are you going to hit land -- winners.
Then there's going to be a right there's this Formula One yes that's very good thank you and I look at those tuna get a mixed doubles sometimes Tom Menino Zack Greinke. But but you're right to make -- shape the election. Is a formality the Cy Young relevant is a formality I don't like that I unlike politics -- a voting and landlords. Eloquence and suspense and we can have discussions and debates and write columns was the MVP. You know who's you know Kevin Youkilis Dustin Pedroia Justin Morneau who decide young -- what candidates have to venture into the -- woods to find out you know -- service. Also see sustainable rights to enable it -- let's see if there. You know their ability to do this sustainable and -- he's clearly the -- available high end and I think even the one mark against them. Is in no way a positive you know he doesn't you have Tucker -- wanna know -- come close company's 115. -- horrible runs -- that teaming up with that run support and in a kind of hopeless situation I think it takes a little mental toughness. To pitch in that situation he granted you're not under pressure. But it's a different kind of mental toughness you have to. Get up and be shoppers face teams like the Red Sox no one. That is really nothing on the line I think it's impressive what he's done I think -- be as closely won't be unanimous 'cause. I might reign -- George king's house in new York and that way you Solomon.
Audience at the graphic -- hit me right between the -- that -- and head up their early in the game yesterday. In Greenpeace eight losses. They've provided him a total of thirteen runs. That's one point six runs and I thought. Casey Sean Casey made a very good point is that understand when you're getting that kind of run support in your ERA is is loaded it blows it with your window for.
Married right Eric is is very small you're pitching differently image you think it was easier for him to win that game whenever he can never necessarily -- religious enjoying. When you're losing one dollar and relax I want five nothing. You know I've -- like the last through different more than you that you still after the night before you really -- relaxed yes I do with a five nothing lead against the Boston red section don't relax more than he would at 11 -- are voting typically does no question but I think not compared to. You know whatever AJ Burnett -- sabathia who has like a patent 21 lead but but he's since I believe six games. Were given a one run or fewer and not one yet half minutes now these would be everywhere in New York or Boston. He'd be we don't we -- 122. -- fifty historic -- in mind this 208 ERA is in the mirror real mission if you do the math league it's equal to what of one point oh ERA in the national league of zero I'm pretty sure -- internationally away. In the nationally you'll not have given up a run yet. It would be pretty cool yeah I wouldn't be mid September really give up runs it's no runs if he were pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. The LA judge -- he beat 23 and three will not -- none of us broken a sweat yet.
expect drizzle -- we can't determine how would he do on some other team not named Kansas City obviously he's not get a lot of offensive help from the Kansas City Royals there -- bad team and a bad division that that doesn't score a lot of runs and doesn't play very good defense. But there's also the sort of warm comforting cocoon -- this Kansas City not unlike Saint Louis but they're much better baseball team where the pressure's not on. We don't know how I bring on next forum in Boston in New York.
And we may never know all the way we men haven't typically see a guy like that is say he's gonna impress himself -- we know. He has this anxiety issue which sidelined him and he doesn't like to -- a crowd out there. I am I and his jockey if he -- attended this tendency to say he's overcome it amateurs overcome and I -- Kansas City he's overcome but for now he's done a great job god bless some. But I'm not sure that he. Or his doctor or his family would say. He is an idea yeah I New York City right you know New York -- New York Yankees in my park Fenway Park whatever Philly LA it doesn't make a lot of sense. He's already making a lot of money you'll continue to make a lot of money and I'm pretty sure he's not one of those his money grub and guys every dollar before I don't believe there's a few more. The guy and losses aside an extension. And generous to make it. It's made in three point sometime this year but I goes up to seven point tuna bowl and always thirteen and a half in all eleven is an eleven -- thank you know their 111 two laws -- straight -- god bless and good luck to I think I think he's one guy got lucky. They're lucky guess that issue the he's not like AJ Burnett just look at it opt out grow cynical but weren't they sucked big time -- joined right just make sure you American max money going to be he needs it. And -- seeking it. I it's too bad for baseball fans 'cause it was a treat watching must that I normally identity is full. I don't get really you know watching pitching doesn't mean nemesis changes speeds and location and it's not my favorite thing I'd rather watch hitting fielding running. But in this case is it treat to watch a guy operate and just eat up and -- Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz and and -- and that not every good hitters good professional hitters make he made them look silly thought he had a -- didn't faze him it was five nothing at that point but -- Bloomberg definitely gets squeezed. But I mean you really think it matters in the end you think it was the difference though not well that he did or did was save the bullpen he had to matter after the first innings. Net and six into Thursday he's into bad job all. Piccolo and -- thing about it. A couple walks including Hungary got squeezed in above five bloopers -- media -- to death. They didn't crush from the -- crushed Wakefield the day before if he pitches today before they win that game. I guess it doesn't matter now we hadn't we flirted with a terribly executed. Yeah and race is over yeah all the Yankees zero and you could -- three time just we've Korea. Yeah I guess but I'm -- it could be a bit Beckett doesn't win tonight that mean this looks like another -- doesn't have to get swept by the royal houses. Of that would be uncomfortable all the time adjusted. The tigers just guess -- the totals are men are hot the last 15 am that I mean what I. I hope we don't ever expect at least not for now mention Beckett in the same breath as -- community is the -- it would so I'm sure Red Sox fans were saudis because if you policies are bad -- she's tough Texan you know. -- take curricular both packet and any day of the week come over. Over just about anyone in I just to let anybody part that bothers me is the anxiety thing in -- you -- Kansas City they can -- have a 208 ERA get -- maybe he'd be like you know pistol.
Although I I'd say it's a lot easier to excel in a place where there isn't pressure and motivational around -- ports that are -- then there is to come somewhere where you're scared of crowds and and and spotlights and and -- microscopes. And try to perform well on -- those.
We don't yeah we may never nobody -- well on the road it's not like -- hasn't pits and road games in this piece in the big leagues in his face and big league hitters. I think it's harder to do what he got it's harder to have 208 ERA Kansas City not getting any run support. And pitching without the energy and excitement of a pennant race. But it might have the reverse effect to amended image -- just went back and forth three times okay you might be a -- it I think it's hard to do what he did. Guys are I don't know that's I think a lot of pitchers veteran pitchers. Would lose interest would it would it would have a problem with the teammates who don't support them we don't get runs whom don't score September in Kansas City. I mean mid veterans say you know lowest point it's -- did.
So tell us seem very happy he and his interview with -- how there was drove into ST Mary happy it has value of -- ideas she listens she wasn't. Difference -- he says not so much media in your face every single day -- and -- and you can walk around town and you'll get stopped for hours upon hours. As opposed to Boston or every half a block you -- science company got to stop and talk baseball outside some witch creek you would hate right but how would Greinke feel about having this lineup. On his I understand that do you think Beckett would like the fact that he can walk around Kansas City and nobody would say -- him are done and he did in Miami.
Right I mean I mean you would prefer that without question are you there yet but whatever cricket better -- Cy Young winner. So we can't received a genetic disease I mean the ERA in name it every statistic other than wins -- right Narnia. Every statistic other than wins will we knew he will come a -- it. Will will favor him the only other candidates are sabathia and film and and no not Oldman doesn't years it's a candidate a 78 and saw what you figure that out here how many first place votes will Feldman get. Probably wanted to from the probably and probably none and a I would say Felix Hernandez. May be. Maybe some -- voter will vote for. This sabathia but. It'll be a landslide.
I get this this pretty much wraps it up he is 208 ERA is first in the majors. He's first to the American League in shut outs. First to the American League in opponents OBP. First in the American League in hits per -- second incomplete game's second in strikeouts second in quality starts. Third and strikeouts per nine and thirty in opponents' batting average. That's wraps it up I would say it. Usually you look at torrents of what statistic does not favor Greinke. Doesn't have something 1991 when.
Just win this winds that winds -- you know what in a way that's it's a compliment to him that today he's done this well. Without the run support a lot of bad -- turn your attention to be thirteen runs in the eight losses that he had it is not MVP you know you don't have that case out how can you be the MVP and last placed team era. You can be the Cy Young winner in fact it's hard to do. It's historic put god bless some guys are great pitcher in a tough situation he wins hands down he wins okay cool remove one of the many Israelis -- a couple of them they've looked at the moment I know what's. You know it's amazing to me I guess that's what does enable it. We'll focus on our Lola Honda -- neighborhood gazillion nattering nearby I don't know sometimes people have such good vocabulary it's like. You know listening to all -- greeting Charlie pierce yeah I you know lightning these are just you have to grab. And under some bizarre one of those vocabulary guys he's just one of those whose -- picture Charley it's there with a thesaurus in his. Well old 1970 tweedy jacket with the patches on the elbow and pulled -- so what they -- what's what's a better word than antagonistic. That nobody will understand and make me look really smart it's you know a good advice for young writers is to not to use I mean you if you have one in mind you can't quite figure it then you grab the source -- the source is not to find a bigger word right. Because people read the way they talk often times. And if you say in a quixotic you say hello -- I use that word to us how we don't use that word. You don't want the -- in the dictionary -- and apparently does if you make someone run in the dictionary you know to better the choice for them just stop Breeden.
Move on do some -- with Charlie here's one to look up once shook up jealous of the journal on talk radio Su -- for jealous that you're not on our radio but you couldn't catch -- cold in this business you'll know why there because he thought shampoo -- allows that under control board for low cut bitter jealous honest to god washed up -- there. Who missed the boat bridge -- and kiss the -- rough cut foot putt. That's okay the other way Charlie is 7-Eleven called don't stand there and read the papers not -- board put him back in the shelf and leave the -- now the multi color April with the -- down -- a lot of money now you -- I know provided by -- represent I've -- up from joke that's at a Q -- oil -- get the right -- me you know hold -- me for ever ever it's like he just bailed me out of jail SX. 17 Plaxico dictate who I think -- Eight -- sad and the Senate side. -- you know it paid 5250850. That doesn't Callahan WEEI duck always -- we can that the source discussion because we don't know what neighborhoods means right at times. Let's work Carmela sent us. I know stickers on the neighborhoods what Nevada -- well Sunday much. -- They blew it I think it's NA BO -- neighborhood -- but no I think there's an old deal like could pay I don't.
