Slipping Away

The Tonight Show this into an invite Mikey told me instead direct and Google. I'm always happen Danish yeah thank -- so -- how do you like. -- show. This is the Tonight Show -- the Tonight Show this is the music that cheeky after the flesh in the cool of the show. We're homeless and empire when -- starts to talk that it will be that they might show.

Sports. Our goal of the -- here is that we all know it happens you know. And I hear was who -- we've raised. I don't know I could do any worse then you know from attaching perspective. I'm Victor Martinez. -- your worst and hope for seven he can. You know I got an issue it is game but he nominally it right out here to give -- a fuel and I'm not. Gonna give him big -- here okay.

Let's just fast forward through all the crap that happened tonight including Lester get smacked on the -- And all the stolen bases to the ninth inning -- Red Sox get a runner on base in the ninth inning. And Terry Francona for some reason let's Jason Varitek. Hit. With wouldn't with a man on first nobody and I know that down nine to five. But you know it there have been bigger and better rallies and four run rallies in the ninth inning in the history of Major League Baseball. And debt based. To me it's like you can't let Varitek swing the bat that situation. I mean he's been so awful he's -- 208. He's been so clueless. They let him hit all for four with two strikeouts in May add on for any street when he when he struck out two Jerry look like hell -- he swung at balls in the dirt. He's just so far removed from anything he ever was as a hitter so what do you do you let him hit. Okay while Michael holes on the bench. Regular Casey Kotchman committed face the left hander next who grounds and would do in game inning double play talk about pissing away every opportunity to win this ballgame. I'm sorry he threw it out with the garbage. Recorder throughout this game as afterward it like you just gave up even though there's amid a first nobody out ninth inning. I don't do that and it in my life from manager you don't give up -- why would you unfortunately Lowell hit. Or anybody that's on the bench they got a badge forty guys long you know army they got to Eric Bates. And they -- Jed Lowrie and they got Chris Woodward and you know Chris Carter. And Brian Anderson and all these guys in fact George -- sort of been a better choice at this point time because. Varitek Rocco Baldelli Baldelli dirty hit I think it -- you -- reports -- throwing -- away. And now. Might request for for the division title is is all but futile I mean you know John a bigger win a second wind and up there got a -- out Baldelli didn't. And indicated.

Are you sure. At the box score here from I'd anywhere regardless you're right Baldelli -- and are even better. Redick for -- Redick gathright area were. Casey Kotchman he gets a lefthander ninth hideous New York Yankees were kind of crap is that that's why they get you know that's the reason they submit that they treated. Will Roche for it in had Kotchman because of his pinch hitting abilities. But not against lefties to Syria embryo would just left handers to 35 hitter Ben Varitek has been just I've. You know it's almost sad and we all love Varitek okay for all he's done this franchise but let's let's get him out of the lineup. For good. Just put about a bench in the playoffs and don't let him. Play. He cannot yet. He cannot do any interesting to see in that game two in the AL BS if he catches Beckett. I mean I think that the only time just give him an automatic out. -- But I cannot bear to watch him get up -- to the plate. He he's not it's not like he's just missing. Or lining out to somebody hard. Or even hit hard ground ball he struck out tonight and waved at a couple of pitches totally -- the clueless it was awful you'll be catching tomorrow to. -- well a nice night it probably Martinez kitchens tomorrow in the though.

And I don't feel good about doing this is saying this kind of stuff about their tech I don't in my heart I feel like it's wrong but guess why can't I can't that I womanizer is seen. He is unable to get the bat on the ball with any authority whatsoever. I don't know what his -- video patio -- what -- hit. What -- text number batting average number patio. Off for August and September I'd like to know that. I bet it's under way under problem yeah weigh on -- Yeah for both these guys are provoke those -- should -- given up on that debt into giving not a priority though John that said bucks you know you know we're we're we're totally square on net. No question and that's that's a -- giving up you'd have to. It did you'd have to get seven had been I mean even if he was like seven for seven there every leader has every single game we wouldn't get there and that nine winning streak and they got an area that's a -- according you don't you don't throw out a game like this I know that you know they're all thinking about the -- what does that mean you stop managing. If Folger managerial strategy tenth. You don't try to -- against the Yankees -- gone nine to five it's been a bad game look Lester he got hit the okay but you've still got a man on with nobody out the ninth may -- starter -- start any -- and rally with Varitek coming up there. And Casey Kotchman for crying out loud it's just awful. Our phone numbers six or 777 Missouri 5888525. Series fifty. Our planet Mikey till midnight that writer takes over for -- for the final hour of tonight's activity you can. Call me bitch about this tonight and with me or John journalist Dirita. We both well Varitek batting average in the last 48 days 10 wait. 37 at bats for it's for here it's. 108.

Now that's a hundred points below his season average of 20 -- which already Sox. You know what he's hitting against the Yankees this season I don't when -- notes on a while heading in any and it's now we've lower -- 87 and -- the Yankees against the -- they go right there -- personal runs but those were early in the season oh my goodness charities in Connecticut Jared -- welcome to show.

Oh -- Bond guarantee I don't know listen that patio year old Jared. Okay what's at 1000 -- reviewer you of that -- against subways. Again chipped it turned. I mean Gary --

You know well wanted to echo that don't want or I'll go on little old fight it out earlier when -- on road war. Widespread Abdullah and -- made -- very Amman and yet you know out loud. Bad sector right about all the auto outlook -- that a lot like that point there are good people very good monitor you yeah. Before the game.

Laporte yeah -- yankees fans there's I don't think they care about those moves.

I did I don't know upload -- people -- Uganda now. --

Well you know when you buy tickets for the end of the year you have a -- seem meaningless games with a prevail all the forty man roster used it's it's happened many times before sometimes it goes down the wire. As you get your money's worth is a -- as appended torrent a division title is decided the last day of the season but. It up and this is. And others well now there's really no reason to care you're residents here because. If they don't with -- tonight's game it's pretty much over but -- then you make an attempt to win it especially when it shore up. It's good question yet they needed to sweep the series for any hopes of the divisions right and they did they didn't so the hopes are gone.

And you know it. Obama yeah want to know that won't outlook ought to.

Well nobody you know the good news is the be the playoffs bad decision probably see Varitek catching and and I just know it -- I don't think so my -- game but. They got it got to do something about that.

It's just put a lot better off without but he could be gotten out oh good utility yeah he's done nothing you know I agree dry out. In all Bob Watson I. They don't.

the greatest idea I've put victor I nor do I put victor and catching -- until further notice period and the story and I say okay that's it reached and a I can tell you the very -- will be catching Paul Byrd on Sunday and that day. And I don't watch second half Auburn gets -- 1 o'clock game up -- the patriots was your second. What are the ratings for that will be of the lowest rated game. In in inner. I mean of the year for your the only thing to watch yet tomorrow -- his first custard on his game is CR Daisuke does. If he continues dude pitch well and also how Victor Martinez catches Daisuke because it's the first and that's gonna happens you know they've buried me imagine what language they're carpenter -- amount to a second of -- in Boston Kevin hi how are you gibberish.

Hello hello Kevin valued all right I can't stand the modeled iPod honestly that they would -- the truth -- tonight. I I mean I do hope blank and I don't know what what we're where we -- but you know there have been playing that great the last few games. And you know we've caught up like reporting but no that's not any different seat. I it I think is ridiculous that -- guy he's just he's obsolete obsolete awful I mean -- honesty and even private that I would give amnesty doesn't. He's not a lot hot guy I mean the guy that's a -- I got.

I mean I'm not list on that question his leadership ability and and as a respected. Nature in the clubhouse I think everybody likes and respects women and all that it's just a very simple baseball issue Kevin he cannot hits. Or throw it looks pathetic he looks like a guy who should be -- a ball the way he hits. I'm talkin' swinging at bad pitches. Not getting the equity -- good pitch comes along not handling it and delivered it somewhere hard. He's -- ground balls he's popping up. -- striking out Andy's Andy and we also as you mentioned that he has set his hat. Completely banged up he's -- deal with a neck injury for months so this you know that's another reason not to have -- it doesn't mean we wanna watch him go through this on the field it's -- it's been very very. -- disturbing to have every when he comes up -- Hillary just wants to turn the TV off you cringe.

it's it's an article you have done a lot of times op I'm mean well I think they know that I think he knows it I mean this is Swanson. I mean outside the so inevitably when you -- gonna -- and right Rick about every time it's as if he if he gets hit on.

He hits the ball he's spent the strike -- he had tonight one of was up what is left handed wave -- a pitch that bounced on home plate. The next time -- that I saw him strike out which the ninth inning with a runner on base a lefthander on amount Barrett takes batting -- supposed be better righty and lefty. And a guy throws of a little off speed pitch any any missed it by about.

Well blitzes the psychology you know one -- put it on a -- coming. I think the management input and outshot ten to one of your rights which he gave up by -- forget about but I and I guess some don't I don't want.

I'd -- that pisses me off because it just takes that yeah it takes the whole feel of all of a competitive. Baseball game I don't care if you think in your head that you're gonna be wild card team you're trying to arrestor players. You still have a chance at the division you're playing your arm means your main rivals in New York. Are the Yankees and and you gotta throw up the best possible lineup you can. And and and and aren't you don't pinch hit. With Casey -- Casey Kotchman. Are okay is that it gave it first base or -- because he made -- substitutions were. As a matter to be policy those guys Varitek and Kotchman represented the last three outs and that's what it was because of the strike out a double play. That just I mean live totally limp.

Yeah they -- more excuses for the game righted it it's optional stand. A very good by the fact that we feel that we can get an honest up from them as immune.

Yeah it was -- Israel the -- tonight 1111 strikeouts and 33 at bats that's. Senate he's eleven for 33 but that's the strikeouts and yet that's great I would take a short break be right back on the planet might --

Equation late night hours following who's got the -- It's like you with my -- of the WEEI Sports Radio network.

You know is gonna go to Michael -- from Connecticut first but I -- because deaths on the phone at -- a woman and ladies first.

We go to doesn't Walpole. Hi -- are you you -- and I'd like I don't let.

I I wrote an email I Europe now where we disagreed on. You are all. On -- On I don't know when my that we. We met the man. All we have seen this. If you look at that appears to like you eat. --

It looks like he's trying to hit with a deer on his back.

I think -- through that how he if you could comment he made before it became every start no he.

On -- and you know let me comment.

In the big scheme of things -- really what are that important. And now owed nobody -- never won a lot if you know I will -- might not if you will 200. I didn't have time this feed and I have now been nearly that hit that applications. We'd.

I think it was it was it 2006. Or 2006005. There was one year where at the end of the year they play the Yankees a lot and he gave up on that again to view their gonna make the playoffs. And it didn't win the division and a depression heading into the tie but the Yankees got guided by virtue of what had to handers on the I don't give up when you're when you're supposed to win every single day.

I think it makes me see I am so glad to hear your anger because. I. Literally. Learned lesson W Lee and I am watching with and -- and the TV and going back and went up I think because I like don't.

Casey Kotchman as your last hope. Tonight and I I do is get a ridiculous I've gotta step in what does anyone think they're gonna win the divisional why does anyone think and it's this is within the parameters on this one baseball game Joe or you unite to fight against the Yankees you get your first -- okay. Maybe we can start -- I I don't I did I agree with you I don't -- the pinch so what they do that they -- they don't pension for very tech and they let -- free can probably. Didn't yankees' offense explode early -- in this game. As a matter they still could want in the ninth.

when I -- I look and I thought.

Well you know what did they start a rally in Mariano Rivera would come in in the did that she'd shut him down and maybe not but yeah that's why they play the games right. --

The whole thing I'm so glad I'm so glad he's talking about it. He can get healthy lead then my feeling I'm okay not.

Well you know what here's -- what you do because there's nothing it's over now what what -- relax. Haven't to a salad sandwich and I Christians and a cream so great movie go to bed put on your jammies.

And let you -- biking up. There's a whole lot of people out there that that you'd think I'd I'd don't know would be the.

Every right now they're probably not half as cute as you reader right right. I you know it's funny I was talking to Diego before he gets all the normal callers that don't think they have a chance of the division and just you know like the fact they're setting up for the playoffs now don't we get all the -- The Sunnis who -- win -- I don't.

I always knew the odds were displayed think Terry Francona would be helping them -- to this -- this part that's -- Michaels and Brooklyn Connecticut.

Hello -- There are out of a hole or oh that's good that we should be hate -- let's tune out. They I wanna while Eric oh while. It on the house since. DeVon it all Ben your frustration. A whopper. It be your career at it it's -- It's our electoral. At that point like. You know it. What -- what you. Could you know could hit all of -- back.

Yeah but what he was never as big a liability at the plate is very tech has been the last two months and and and those to be honest -- second -- last year he was awful. Our first ever this year he was fine he is acceptable and everybody was happy second have managers been awful I think it's what's the number now what is -- hitting 108 in this in the what is. Yeah over the past -- month and a half was.

I would it is a 108. He added that the pitchers in the National League hit 150. You know they they all know.

Especially when you have -- what that. Elect -- as that the lineup that that's -- freak I've played a.

Guess who guess who did not play tonight Mike lol. -- crypto -- Dakota Michael abuse Mike Lowell somewhere along this gatekeeper rally going for crying out loud. They folded -- ten best about it my predictions out the window. My entire. I retired 99 game prediction is that the -- of divisions it's gone because Terry Francona has called the Ted prematurely. You gonna have to go down to Disney World yeah like you just.

Of this tournament -- you just just looks so. I'll do them of and do data will leave tonight. John riders coming up next if you're on hold stay there he'll be with you till 1 o'clock and you convention bitch and moan in Tibet shouldn't. Whatever you wanna sit up all that happy horse craft. Think tonight --
