Well a whole bunch of exclamation what is -- that -- Exclamation points excellent I mean. -- just somewhat to the game. Michael is home somewhere right now he's home from the Celtics game by now and he's home right now just delegates to jail. Abby you were just beat your Glor.
Rooting rooting for my Philadelphia and I've followed the -- a year that might I am I know about their farms since its farm system Jason Donald. That's why I just I I I I definitely gonna bump at the higher pay higher and -- Oh man what a great starts a series of equipped Lee was up the chain -- the one. Worried either one -- take this single away with -- behind the back and he does the Michael Jordan Chirac as it happens I I don't know I don't know if it's my night.
I mean it they they made the point I think McCarver said at one point last night and he hit the nail on the head. Like he was pitching -- spring training. In Florida. I mean there was no. It is it seemed so effortless it seemed it seemed so methodical. The other with unemotional -- like -- the ball. I -- up that the little pop open economy amount he just sort right now entered a city gonna go get it okay fine.
But he said you know before the series started he said -- he had -- are very similar. And their personalities they're both laid back but he's even more laid back than he he received last -- Nittany. More motion. Out of a tough jam of the he does something impressive. System you'll see him -- Much from -- man and an opera last -- after his face from his army it was magic. -- 24 hours later yeah. How do you feel. About the Phillies chances in the world.
Better than I did yesterday. Because they -- beat CC sabathia part of the reason I. I I also strongly about the Yankees was that I thought there will be announced they got to beat him three -- wide open now it is why don't well it'll depend I'll tell you this. And it was funny because in again an indication I have issues you have even bigger issues and make us your very first that you did this morning it was -- at the York all the things that this topic and later. Ed and I was disappointed because they are pretty ordinary to all -- what's Pedro Martinez beat them tonight may have to Philly down to pop almighty god what the New York newspaper is will be like them.
Well there is I think it's wide open is because. CC. The reason they were able to get by the twins and give by the angels. Because CC was. Almost twice as good as any other pitcher in this series yeah yeah. Well. Coming into the series even before the game started he wasn't twice as good as Cliff -- to a given the edge of a quickly I I absolutely did he said I don't guy got to take CC equipped league takes easy.
I agree with he lost big -- on now and I did look like he was out for a walk in the park. The rest of the Yankees starters they're not bombs from portals. AJ Burnett I mean he borders on bombed them in this town I mean we don't we have no respect for AJ Burnett went respect independent a lot I thank. You know whether you like the Yankees are not respect him I don't think we have any respect for Burnett. I agree with -- it is. -- with CC sabathia looking mortal. The chances of the Yankees winning this thing down a notch or two now I still think. Sorry I don't think they'll sleep so we're not trying to so.
I don't really we who are totally Atlantic area where -- I notice you're wearing a red sweater and bring little risky bets a little red out of the out of the closet. I don't think that that I don't think your team will sweep. I still think the Yankees will win this thing about it don't feel as strongly today admitted yesterday because. Cliff Lee once man I'm going on the full muster pulled Johnson today. Mike from -- yeah. -- well all day affair polyps -- boys than what 77. I out of buttons over here yeah dating agent -- Great Britain email Gyllenhaal WEEI dot com Jessica odd years Yankee dog gone -- talking Yankee to.
We will talk about the World Series today we got up what we were just in the other room listening to it again we will we have to play some of the Pedro Martinez. Press conference stuff from yesterday -- actually blah. EU forget. You know absence makes the heart you forget how much fun it was to listen to. Forget about watch him pitch he was the best pitcher I've ever seen in a Red Sox uniform. Which you forget how much fun it was the talk to when he wants to play right let's play the game when he wants you -- to dazzle yielding -- Charismatic he can he can turn it on pretty quickly what place and cuts for you later on because they were just we were just listening to again and the other from their spectacular. -- will start by talking about yet another Celtic dismantling. Here's the interesting thing remembered 2007. As the patriots were just kind of roll -- through things and and we actually had callers to the radio station talking about how. It was almost boring. You don't watch in the patriots game on Sunday wasn't a question of whether they were gonna win or not it was a question of how much they were gonna win by. And there was that stretch October November where people were actually saying. There's no problem involved here I fear that much of this season is gonna be like that for the Celtics. They'll get challenged occasionally you know they play Cleveland that's tough battle when they play the lakers when they play you know Orlando when they play -- Washington. But for a whole bunch of games in there it's gonna be pictures score is not.
They are really good -- really good man probably. Though that the way -- now I think they they might be better than the 0708 Celtics who won a championship. There -- all I hear you right there you say that after two gains I don't Nadal not a sound like a total yeah there's a lot of basketball he played -- they gotta be challenged in the got to go through adversity you know that stuff and find out who they are with the personalities are. But just from a from -- talent personnel perspective. Yes. This is the best team -- the Doc Rivers never had.
And the only question here really is -- they stay healthy. Because if that team. And and let's add big baby if it now -- you know what I'm I've resolve a result yesterday and then column. Add Glen Davis we -- baby now -- that could cause we got stuff that's got stuff on him all cabled and nevermind. I mean out that add Glen Davis into the mix you take that team into the playoffs in April. Of that team is healthy. And -- they are tough.
A tough to beat them four times. And it in this series but the last night I was I was not bored watching them of them wanted to see just how far they -- take this thing. I have to admit when it got to thirty I was -- how nasty with the shut down --
I mean what was at 31 of fiber somethin' that one -- they had there thirty to four run it would at the -- and it and after awhile it is boring it really is. And and you know you sit there wondering when -- gonna start empting the Benton and KG takes the tumble. Okay doc a mod well.
Look if if if you're right. If the if this season is going to be -- scored name your score not much competition. It's a perfect scenario for Kevin Garnett and absolutely absolutely. Because you don't have to over plan. You don't have you don't have to think too much about managing his minutes because the game we'll tell you that mean when Europe and got a thirty to four run on the team when a team. They can't make it shots and in their scoring 59 points well it's obvious. You take Kevin Garnett on the game you take out Paul Pierce and.
I recently the only reason -- played 38 minutes I think is 'cause he looks like he's still searching for a shot a little. And I think he's telling dock you know I I gotta get the shot him because don't you get the feeling. 38 minutes was probably more than they intend to play him and getting -- and I -- it again my pace -- what do I need to play Ray Allen 38 minutes for. But I think he still searching for a shot a little -- ended up four for ten. But early on especially he wants to shoot the ball very well he didn't -- very well in Cleveland. Not like Ray Allen.
following wasn't following amounts and look at it. Some of those shots seemingly have a panoramic view that's a nice way of saying that you know you don't have seats on the floor but not a bad. -- Hello Vince Wilfork. There's actually been looking at the -- panoramic view of the court you can see the plays developing that's not that's another -- there today it will make when they give you bad I don't wanna sit down I got it -- Cecilia well it's NN hockey unemployment to top the top in the corner because you can see the planes to. -- I'm not going Meredith excuse now -- okay and -- I got out okay I don't wanna see it again but anyway as you can see up there from the on the cheap cheap seats. The ball. And he was he was on target many times television Johns looked good -- now and it weren't for.
actually set at one point early on because I was listening to the game Europe in the early stages. And grandy said you know the rams haven't been trying to woman that's how I felt watching he shot. Like you said the shot looks good he's -- it's all around the rim is just not falling the way. Ray -- shots fall and I am convinced that's why played 38 minutes because he still trying to get that's --
These finals guys. And what one of the few guys in the league where every time he shoots a volume because going to.
Absolutely. I -- his shot is just soul pure perfect and edit it its tip you know with the formed. Everything I remember there was one where out. Paul did the quick swing into the corner. He's got the wide open three and it's in notes that. Text book every the release everything and didn't win and -- like shocked. What right kidney how could that not go and not not the way this guy and certainly missed the free throw on out on attack. I I I'm just shocked when he missed.
Let him miss a free throw Ray Allen all the shots to expect may go and Paul Pierce there's certain shots of his -- right -- a free throw line he said okay that's money KG. Eighteen feet -- elbow got out. You expect that to go and Eddie House. From the corner on a three that should be going in the Ray Allen. Anywhere on the court takes a shot because you think is good.
I just I end my theory is they're so good there so well balanced there sowed the that they're going to be nights like last night where half the folks at the -- headed home in the middle of the fourth quarter. I mean I was I was only watch on TV I wasn't there up but I saw lot of seats empty. I mean they're not shown the upper decks obviously the -- C in the lower bowl when I saw a lot of empty seats late because it was like look we know they're gonna win let's let's go home -- blame. And I want to maybe see the World Series of.
As I mean there's there's there's competition -- everybody in Boston is rooting for their their secondary team. To beat the Yankees now if the Phillies win the World Series is is back to that that conversation we had a couple or ago. In my mind I'm that we don't matter by nineteen -- and Oscars happen with the volume two year old gets yeah. But at the Phillies when if they win the World Series I think you'd you do have to say. That they are the models they they had to be considered the model -- back to back absolutely. Has been done since the Yankees it. In 992000. So you went you went back to back championships. You beat the you beat two teams from jail -- considered the top mr. baseball up with the vision of baseball's leading get any kind of inning giving any kind of luck yeah or you know somebody was hurt me just kind of backed into a championship. You played terribly down the stretch like the -- six cardinals and stumbled into a World Series title that it happened. With this team. They play pretty well didn't play great it was struggling for a little bit didn't play great that is not as a great as they were last year. But they've they've certainly -- at a given in the World Series already it's only after game but I'm talking about out of what they're gonna actually been thrown up to about their legacy and you know what it means. But we have spent so much time dogging -- the National League. Last night I got the sense and just watch the game. That most Yankee fans were like you yesterday at noon and there's coach there's just no way that Philadelphia is gonna win this that's that's how they seem it seem to be.
January 2002 zip right now but.
Phillies where the Yankees find a way we're supposed to win this thing has said it is for me where they did we not all that where are the Yankees for it.
There won't show today you know us that it was for me I wanted it and one nothing and I won at the Yankees to lose on 306 foot home run. Because that first Chase Utley home run it's like. -- would've been out and any other park in America including most Babe Ruth parks. I mean when a -- out anywhere I -- is one nothing on that thing after they took advantage of that band box all season long I want to lose to game. On a cheap you know right field fly ball that that makes it over the wall like that that would have been perfect symmetry.
Everybody. Not you know what out of an -- off they got a little bit and I'm crazy but you know it it tells you how. Confident. On -- arrogant word yet we need to talk to some Yankee college for a get to argue it's. Judge how confident Yankee fans are. Then in the ninth freaking inning. Derek Jeter gets. Hello Leo so little flare. When. Well hit ball chain victory try to get it I really had no chance he got to be the fastest man in the world we get there and they're going crazy and I know what they're thinking you know.
I know another ninth inning trying to get -- G. There's. Let's go to our -- the captain Derek Jeter I look at -- ago. They thought they had a chance six zip. A completely new they didn't have a chance but they thought they had a chance. -- to get another Vietnam look at Charlie Charlie. McGrady had -- right. Make him out of there because you had already written the text to me you just didn't send it yet. And you didn't wanna have to like erase the thing not that that the boy in the in the eight and up towards that -- that.
I didn't I didn't actually see it. Until after the games like just assume the minute the game and not our jobs that was in game all quiet and out. -- there are set and I thought it was all over well thank you very quick break in ninety seconds. You gotta -- Pedro I mean this guy was he is he had his eight game going yesterday and he hasn't thrown a pitch yet. Well to get to the calls with you dale and Holley Sports Radio W media.
