Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

I hate to start with the inside radio stuff but you know sometimes he can't help yourself. And and ironically. This comes in the immediate aftermath of a discussion we were having earlier today about about judgment okay. Now announcer voice specifically says insert most enthusiastic playoff call here. Somebody made the judgment that we all wanted to hear John Sterling -- and I just wanted to whose response.

Double for the I'd like you like listen to me even though I don't like hook up a quick. I did not like ally but it's it's it's one of those things. I sort of call my needs him. It's what those I know it was so it's so annoying that it's actually entertaining I could see Jimmy get near -- you know there -- consult with nice year I've known him for a long time. I will wise I I was -- you -- big game James aren't discussed it at all. Yet it highlights the Jews from. And you subject just don't know who's the most memorable right Deng's most memorable is John -- well we can go through some of the Ohio wallets up. I didn't got a thriller from God's LO last night yet -- of -- and I got a all the time same call. Over and over. I totally to be yankees -- think. As I know that expands use the mock Celtics fans for Johnny most. You know like they would mock Johnny most and I understand that if you didn't live in England like like guided. You know you probably in -- on most -- the New York like him yes yeah yep. Wonder yet I -- era it may be right. How.

The -- who's been around for like twenty years. -- twenty years I heard him tell Dave O'Brien scratch and somebody's back all right easy -- at the back okay discretion in the past. That there are. Ya gotta keep. To have this or that -- that do it and and anatomy laugh. And there -- other parts of the body that I think we did that yesterday was damn notes are non -- with a stop right there anything.

The inside track for making sure everybody's seen it. I mean I thought it was just you guys I was creek and out now audience that tracks on after ever you you you you all you people the Bosnia and let it.

Okay so so much for your prediction last night the Yankees were going down to its way yeah I not happened in and out and see that. I didn't see that happened last anyway if if if the twins are gonna have any chance than they win tonight. You wanna see what AJ -- it's gonna do you gonna skip this whole catch or controversy really is -- controversy in New York. Between Molina yet another Molina and and there are more -- Brothers than there are Sutter brother.

Crews and they loom Mattie Lou racing's -- and -- lose in so many Molina news.

Carl captures yeah I mean did there all good it had not had any imagination be not to one of the Brothers and think you know a lot. To try to right it is hey that was Marty said look. If you can catch in the big leagues you're gonna give -- the money and you can -- good glove man yeah no -- I had just be a good glove man. You go along way in the major leagues and at all are good -- Not that's true and and you know maybe dad just -- catching -- Of making this a series. They go out there and they win game two and then in game three. In Minnesota. The of the of the rubber game so you know so to speak in the series. You have Carl Pavano -- and time taken amount for an for the twins.

So I expect him actually. It's well no I and I expect him to actually physically burst into flames not not I soda I expect smoke to come office Mac. I just never expect anything did ever happened to Karl up on ever in Minnesota in my BR I'm not they had him pitching game two. I'd say no chance. -- He's a star crossed career as an. The back there. In the days when when every time he said Obama's name had to say roses name I'll always had to be on a rose like that was the name of some player out there in. But at least we finally saw playoff baseball three of them yesterday. None of the -- exactly thriller. Well yeah Cliff Lee was too good for resolved he campaign he does come on yeah it was too good to be entertaining. And the Yankees game was entertaining for about two winnings. And the Dodgers Saint Louis in what they leave on base thirty guys left on base between the two teams. In one game. It it it wasn't exactly drama anywhere it wasn't exactly you know -- it certainly wasn't what we saw on the Detroit Minnesota --

Question as you think we'll get drama tonight at 937. That means for those of you who have the luxury of taking a -- better take -- Got to take a -- like around. 536615. After work might want to pass on happy hour tonight. If if you wanna watch baseball. And remember baseball. So competitive theme that's right so -- go let go home take a nap. Wake up around 915930. Onto a different in the pregame stuff and then watches game because best case scenario. We're talking about what 105125. And the game is over.

I mean at least it's not Red Sox yankees starting at 937 years that I might be at 2 o'clock in the morning job is there any chance is going to be a three hour game. Any chance Weller all right well I say this. Lester and Lackey art you know slope oaks and writing generally speaking make out again it and throw them. So it it you know assuming that your that you don't have you know Mike Scioscia take -- through four pitchers in an inning or something. They have the possibility of of having a reasonably paced game. -- not they're not death the watch out there the way some guys are so. But -- I would think three hours is probably about the -- are John and Jerry gonna protest this seminary have the at a party. Other agenda I'm and it got node -- just tonight. Well they got a chance is just there you know they're not gonna have any and I got no chance -- they got no chance to sleep. That's probably going to be an issue. Will TiVo looks election big gamble DVR well and -- you know at that huge commute. You know on the morning that that is wearing him out so he's got lead early -- it you know. -- the overall not a better about 553. It's that button at six -- about -- you Dylan and evidently ago. I'm telling you he is what we all wanna be someday. Arts it's our mentor.

Not dismiss the mr. chemistry with you guys is that the camaraderie coming in and and seeing you guys that would that would really bother me that just do the show tomorrow. Not I I believe that say unless they're on their side I would Michigan.

Anyway and I -- by any court everybody had -- look at me like I'm supposed to have the answers the where that came from I don't have any clue either. At least we saw baseball last night we -- playoff baseball tonight. And playoff baseball that Red Sox fans are really into which is why our guest at twelve vote Tuesday is the perfect guy. He talked to all the playoff series but obviously Red Sox angels intimately and I heard in the cross over what he says angry that he completely he's the best. Play by play announcer major best.

Best in the business and there -- some and I don't wanna say they are good play by play guys out there are not listening to. I was so it into the twins. Tigers series. That that not the series but that one games yeah feels like a series I don't two or three different games there. I was so into it that was listening at times I listened to the Minnesota broadcast of the game with a spine. And I listened to the Detroit broadcast of the game which was fine up. Let's don't you you go around the country and you listen to different people. And in the comeback careless in the Dave O'Brien you'd you'd you'd tend to appreciate what you happier he's very very good.

And they consistently he had an easy he brings it every night every single game will talk to Dave O'Brien at twelve to. Well lot focused primarily on Red Sox angels I I must say -- and I love the fact that said this on a number of occasions I love the fact -- a two newspaper town. I'm of The Herald of the globe I like the competition I'd I'd like reading both. Book club has really brought it for me the last couple of days. They they have really brought some stuff and Dan Shaughnessy east peace today with Jason Varitek. Really struck a chord with me. You know he just. He didn't want talk about anything but but what matters is the team and winning and and nobody wants -- I just the the whole piece I thought was interesting. But Jackie's piece yesterday. About Kevin Youkilis was was fascinating to me. I thought that the that. Co headline pieces on the front page today about the pitching. And it and the pitching in the offense in this series and how the how the Red Sox offences fare against the top fifteen pitchers in the league and how much lower ideas then for instance the New York Yankees. There's a lot of interest like.

Yeah those are a couple of concerns that's for sure one. We've talked about it all year the Red Sox on the road. That's an issue for them their different team on the road a much different team on the road. And it's not like the Yankees don't go Red Sox yankees got to compare and every step of the way so you look at the Yankees on the road versus the Red Sox from the wrote. There's there's no comparison the Yankees are very good team on the -- And at home the Red Sox are an unbelievable team at home right and not so much on the road that that's one of the concerns. Another concern. Is is it's game one you think the Red Sox are in position because they're not a great wrote team. Do you think they have to win game one. To win this series.

I really do and and I know that I know that realistically. They could lose tonight and still come back when the series I don't mathematically they -- I feel like they have to win tonight's game to be able to win the series. Because I think you've gotta you gotta get that kind of performance out a year ace. I don't have complete confidence yet in either -- Buchholz. And I think you -- goes out there and loses game one the pressure that gets heaped on not to Josh Beckett can't handle pressure he does. But the pressure that then gets heaped on them you know camps up a lot I think tonight is critical.

Well tonight tonight is is important as this as a tone setter because you've gone and you've said all year. But you've got a 12. Unlike many other one to use in baseball. I and I think that's true. You know and there are some very good one -- in baseball. I would think I don't think the Yankees haven't and -- intimidating went to they had an intimidating one and CC but 12 AJ Burnett. Does he scare me know our respective talent absolutely. You look at the cardinals last night net carpenter that -- right. The very good one to this stereo. Maybe it scares -- a -- in the National -- I will say the Phillies. Have a comparable now. Especially since it acquisition of plug a -- that's sometimes I leave Tamils OK go there. Yeah that's that's pretty tough to beat but you've been talking about this 12 combination that you have. And this is what your whole rotation is built on. A grand go out and prove it. Go out and prove John -- he's good he's not as good as Jon Lester. And whoever number two is whether that that the Weaver I -- an actual number two for the for the -- on the up and who's who's pitching second because. They can really put some names in the hat. I come out what they're number two starter they're all the same -- whether listeners of the best of the on whether whether it a name for game -- whether it's Kazmir whether it's Weaver whether whether it Saunders. Called U three types got to go out and prove that that you really do have the advantage of these team.

We will step aside for a very brief 92 period of time. Will -- the rest of the sports agenda including.

And I say ill advised comments by an athlete on the Boston sports. I -- you know -- unfortunate you know audiences. It's -- it's just does not make an excuse it is used for yet another pinkie. Well it's not a -- WB.
