Friday Night Ryder

to show that didn't anybody tonight. And -- to run and pulled me. -- Danish. -- We'll show we'll listen. When my studies conducted it will be looked at June --

Mikey will be back with you on a Monday I believe that's right you're right yes Monday. So one more day opera Mike he'll be back Monday in the meantime it's John -- and other short show we get Celtics basketball coming up seven a tough week for you writer hasn't it. Well these lying our show is you know. That's why we need those phone calls that 61777. Nods her right fifty toll free 8885250850. Pound WEEI a -- Verizon cell phone and of course at the text messages at age 5850. And all loses save arbitration -- here are excited. Because the baseball -- perspectives there -- a coda projections. Have come out for the season. What does that mean they're projecting the different statistics of course with certain teams and it's interesting to look at the Red -- what they have for them for 2010 because. Government's biggest concern with the Red Sox this season is their profits. Well it's interesting that. They have the Red Sox scoring 846. Runs this season which judges 26 fewer than last season. Now if that is the case. That means that. That's not the big difference -- the Yankees scored manager and fifteen last year the angels 883. Followed by the Red Sox horror. -- the American. So they're taking the Red Sox up as we pretty good this season -- not that that they do have a minus 33 years for his home runs for this season. A batting average of plus seven on base percentage plus five so they figure they're gonna get on base a little bit more. And they also -- that the red -- again have the ability to use their legs to score some more runs -- stolen bases hit on all that type -- stuff. And I love this statistic as well that they. I have in there are just looking from last season. To this season as birds Mike Cameron. And -- Mike Cameron. Was better at working pitchers than Albert Pujols. That's probably probably because pool holds. Registrars page there on the second or third pitch in when active for basic -- home run. And that's not to say that Mike Cameron said it great I love these different statistics you can do whatever you want woodham. The crate your argument pretty much. And there's only by the way nine days to opening day really get into the countdown next months going to be great he would -- and and playoffs were both the NBA I don't know open it was looking forward to the NHL playoffs have you Bruins fans by the way and it's another thing we can touch on. That -- game last night. You get out shot you out shot out shoot the opponent in Tampa Bay fifteen to eighteen. And end up losing that game five to -- I didn't know Tim Thomas was a net last I don't wait a minute he wasn't -- was to -- To grass by four assume worst performance after his -- money but rev thirteen saves. And Tampa -- lightly so. No we've been here all day broads ever owns get a feel better about them while they may -- they get the six spot. Well now -- vote fall back. As they're just two points ahead of Atlanta for that final play out -- by -- would back about Philadelphia. For the seventh spot. Only nine games left Adobe's. Organ and a single digits here in nine games until opening day nine Bruins games left in the regular season eleven Celtics games left in the season. And the Celtics an action that courses against Sacramento so. We get in the reds likes the Bruins the Celtics you know the deal six point 77790850. Toll free eighty date. 5250. Rated fifteen years Johnny's out of California hey John.

There just are you do it -- renowned California. All dealt California art deserts. But there's a lot of -- Celtics patriots here apparently aren't desert -- that. Well I'm from New England -- You know there's wanna transport speak about here a lot New England but the weather's little bit better.

I would say. I would say it's you know miss much today it's about 35 degrees at the.

Okay -- my short on our disturbed and policy here and you're and is listening. And -- and watch and I watch listen all the time Kevin Garnett looks like.

Yeah he does -- it's it's looking like he's gay and -- that's the scope. He's move in the league just looking at the games mobility wise. The knee is getting better and this is the perfect time for that's for sure this the playoffs began April 17 coming up here in the other key is as well as that. Paul Pierce is playing a lot better and -- looks healthier as well.

Doesn't he doesn't rail was good news is almost it's almost like now we almost have too many players. All come play outside there's probably -- eleven guys that can play. What's gonna happen you know.

The rotation. I think you they'll go at about ten guys. And it all depends on matchup says well of course as always does but depending who they face in the first round. The other night it against Denver we saw Tony Allen -- and because of bad chip purposes just getting in there. Because of the style that Denver plays and obviously there more of an offensive team and you -- Will be less minutes from Michael Finley so I think it depends who they're playing -- what they need their particular series as first how deep they go but we know come playoff time. -- starters are gonna get more minutes than they do during the regular season -- still is. Not a good job I think of limited these guys minutes is another opportunity to do it tonight against as Sacramento is just an awful team.

I agree after watching -- 33 minute 35. Every now and then -- a great job it will pay a dividend and they're a little nervous arterial -- but you know that.

they have been they've been -- about the Celtics have figured they'd be looking at the -- more than anything or do they fear they fear anyone out west like the jazz. Or Denver Dallas.

Not really I I try to let them know that a you know Denver QB -- and and they know what Gordon Portland has built on -- that. -- them. Now I know and and I think this topic is always in the back burner we're right into the incident in order and that articles I think we're always in her head in Cleveland has already. You know shown what they can do it and so if picnic at the west would say probably should I beat you -- the Celtics or the cabs will be.

Now why I think it -- in this week's Iran though when they were struggling somewhat like I said it still wouldn't surprise me if the Celtics team. Mated to the Eastern Conference finals and you -- David do what an odd to John is defense. You look at some of the statistics lately. As even I look at the games last week and on the road against Houston and Dallas. While Houston 87 points 39% shooting mavericks. To 93 points 46% shooting so they've been doing it with -- defense that's other gonna win.

Absolutely couldn't agree more and now will be less than extra pick Mike all right.

Thanks for listening Conan John here's injure a Boston mantra.

Age I don't know where you. -- You know -- a couple weeks so you did and I just did not know and tax cut it anymore. -- and but lot of and they got to go. Our. This Wednesday at a great show and then -- occasions.

Six men out and -- six now that's not happening. They'll they'll -- by the way that's the other news of the day. Kind of a light news day the Red Sox have set up their rotation and we discussed the system well Tim Wakefield got is answer pretty quick. It after Wakefield came out yesterday. Wondering. Why he has a received an answer his -- is when exactly is going on. With a pitching rotation and where he fits in well he found out he'll be the fourth starter -- Ukraine stuck into Wakefield get in the fort Spartan buckles look at spot. -- I don't have a problem with that for the time being Wakefield healthy but. How long do we know or how Long Will he be healthy this season we sorry -- at the beginning of last season in. I'm fine with Wakefield being in the fourth starter I think the key was just having him be a starter for the time being. Because of his age in his different injuries in the injuries that have occurred under recently we're the guys hey look and as a mid forties that. If he's in the bullpen. Even if he's getting up and down to warm up with the potential of cumin into a ball game is still somewhere -- here there. And now we know is -- every fifth day and going to be out there will see how long this lasts. And Daisuke is still a few will miss the first couple weeks of the regular season who knows when he's going to be back in the rotation. I wonder how Buchholz feels about this it's interesting how they set up I like how they set it up. As. He had Beckett on five days' rest after his first start against the Yankees in the buckles will pitch after Beckett. And they also give some extra rest as well two of the arrest of the rotation where Lackey will get six days and Wakefield will will get his five days after that. It's intriguing how they set up and I understand how they set up as well all these different off days mixed in there so I don't have a problem with the on the Red Sox to this by the way the Red Sox and another -- out there a bowl and Scott Schoeneweis general if he has anything left. Another -- they can bringing in these old lefty relievers. Alan Embree that they brought in now this Scott Schoeneweis. Is in there. I wonder about your bullpen ever won none. Is discussing this offense. I wonder about the bull panel that got to love Daniel -- you wonder of Jonathan Papelbon is actually gonna have a split finger fastball or freezes get a just uses a regular fastball. Hopefully as that -- pitch by reports he's been working on that quite a bit this spring. Okajima a you think of is really their only dependable lefty out Theres so they're trying to find someone a secondary left the obviously weathered the show -- Placer Alan -- released Brian shadows. Another guy in his forties. Today. Manny Delcarmen he's a real wild -- out of the bullpen I don't think the bullpen some questions about the bullpen. Not as confident as maybe some others or. In his bullpen coming up this is we get into the Red Sox a lot of other different stuff here coarse -- explains that they're gonna probably. Clinch that Atlantic Division title. Tonight raise that Atlantic Division banner. It's. So important for the something we knew this was kind of a foregone conclusion that they would win the Atlantic Division but for the season even started and -- But the importance of this is how the NBA playoff rules go as far as. This season which there was some confusion about the past couple weeks. A lot of people thought it was head to head matchups in that case. There were some concerns is spurs have the Celtics. Do finished tied with the hawks for that. The -- playoff spot and right now and that's what they are they're tied for that -- playoff spot right now. And a lot of people thought it was head to head match the match ups myself included in box swept the season series against the Celtics but. If the Celtics do finished tied with the Atlanta for the third spot the Celtics will get it because their division title winners so it actually ended up being important. The southeast here's Indian West Roxbury and.

Eight on you don't aren't we dead a lot of calls and and and argues it's like about the Atlanta Hawks and I think Eliot -- program money.

Well it probably won't face him.

Well right and mean if they I mean -- do match up at the way I think basically in the yet but machines we Atlanta would be Cleveland. Well that's -- of went right.

Well. Fit looking at the -- Well I think Cleveland gets past Atlanta look at it looking at the match -- in Atlanta would play Milwaukee in the first round which is an intriguing series and in -- time but I think that's growing that's. That that be -- physical series -- is pretty physical team especially with -- get there and what -- season he's had. For the boxes and Milwaukee.

Swelling down a little bit but he built you know. Getting a --

Yeah yeah he'll be it. Now he's only rookie -- get better. John Salmons is what's crazy. -- a -- when he -- viewers something since acquiring him.

That region 78% think income couples. -- I'm sorry -- the last preteens. 78. 678. Eight positions Milwaukee. Chicago and Charlotte.

Now -- Miami Charlotte Toronto. Let's or I should not gonna get enough on your report.

Like I like Charlotte. I like Charlotte with Larry -- And mean.

Nothing did beat Orlando.

Not now.

I don't see any that's on drank it I mean I like those teen -- as an upset like that.

I think I'm really looked like and it's playoffs this year and now -- conference. And acting. I really think it will be Orleans over Cleveland.

You do. Do you think Orlando gets past the Celtics in the --

I think -- ended does because I really think there are shot through it Vince Carter on the the call on the you know.

Oh well I'll tell yet. If Kevin Garnett looks like he did in that matchup against Orlando where and Rashard Lewis is blew past him like who's not and then. I agree with you but I think that I'd like seeing Kevin Garnett match up against him a little bit more now the way -- KG's plan to move -- around.

Re an account and asked about and be out about you know what he thinks the play like well come playoff time what the lineup will be. And obviously they're gonna play with -- more people lose stars and they play more minutes bigger roles. I mean I think doctors handle them very well liked. Managing their time.

Always he's done -- he's got a great job as far as that goes and is still trying to figure out the best rotation as well for that second unit. And it's interesting we've seen at times him even mix Robinson and Rondo in -- together. So -- to a match ups of solid -- was not the way it is with all sports but particularly the NBA. Those those matchups. While the Celtics matchup against the kings tonight and I'm sure there's not too much focus on on this game this big Sacramento -- by the way there easiest. Game of the entire homestand. Sacramento tonight against San Antonio coming up on Sunday it's so it's still bazaar that they've. Eight straight games against Western Conference teams this late in the season. It's John rhetoric from Mikey on the planet Mikey show opened spots view whether you wanna get into the Celtics in the playoffs talked about that. Horrendous Bruins game from last night. And the -- is -- for and only nine days to opening day folks what do you think about -- baseball prospectus Dakota system that the Sox will score only 26 fewer runs than they did last season and his sanity and their offense is a pretty good shape what do you think. We get into that the starting rotation is set as -- is the Red Sox as well 617. 77 guides -- rate fifty toll free 888525. 0850. It's pound WEEI if you have Verizon cell phone text messages that 85850. Big break be back after this.

Unfortunately for you next don't want not a regular sports congress and in. Identify ourselves. Things that got you guys Sports Radio network.

And I'm still dormant them you know if you -- snowstorm -- thirty minutes for the most -- informative confirmed -- But no clue what it is we've got to put ourselves and as well positioned so we have no choice. But also there's -- to help him present more important than even the blues Bob wrote that the you have to be. -- good tips to women have to be open those things the way it.

said coach Doc Rivers and at the Dennis Kelly and show yesterday and time about the minutes in the currency. Finds health and again these guys are ready for the playoffs and other no matter whether -- the third or fourth seeded. Health is the most important thing -- these guys some arrests and they'll be able to get some rest tonight. And Kevin Garnett maybe plays even under thirty minutes tonight where they take on he has Sacramento Kings might underestimating those sip pesky. Feisty Sacramento Kings in tonight's of the team out of thinks so. The Celtics have won by the -- Four straight home games that's their longest home winning streak of the season and that's amazing -- if it's it it really is I was gonna say that generated. Because we're sitting here. March. Considering how well they played at the beginning of the season we don't know the different problems here midway through the season but I think they get that -- it's straight. -- home win we get into the celtics' everything else here up until 7 o'clock and it's the Celtics in the king's. 61777. -- are at fifty toll free 8885250850. Text messages. At 85850. It's -- writer for a Mikey on the planet Mikey show like you'll be back with the guys. On -- Monday. And the text messages rolling in during the cross over Glenn was mentioned that tigers pitcher that hurt himself plan to video game -- a bunch text about that. Joel Zumaya is -- the same guy as well that. I think that his parents house or on fire or something like that -- He got injured. Carrying a box. Out of out of the attic he said so many different injury problems he's got -- can throw about a hundred miles per hour at all this guy's serious this text or. He's from about 41. Yes to be joking Mike Cameron 327 average with 37 homers. Rated down was up from Mikey. He had a much -- been from Mikey yet using a different cell phone. Much I wonder I what I -- I mentioned how. The baseball prospectus. Their Dakota attraction projection boy that's amount fourth here's and it. Came out projecting -- 2000 Nintendo Red Sox offense. And they're saying the -- actual score 846. Runs this season only 26 fewer than I -- would still put him. Probably in the top five. Or maybe even the top three in the American League if that was the case and they expect and almost at around at 280 this season what do you think about that. They don't think that the Red Sox -- is a bigger problem my guess is I do here's John in Connecticut a John.

And say it it's good it's. Eight. Just side by -- with a pitcher. That we.

Now is playing Guitar Hero. According to this text here but.

Rock and I guess so. Well actually like a on all the Celtics say. It's nice to see him on a bootable I com am pretty realistic as far as I don't or they can go like questions you know. And it's well it's an entire year. It never called him acts in country probably incident in the meantime Packers. Shelden Williams why. Why is in Beijing more often. --

They like Glen Davis better. I like Glen Davis better. I at one he's played he's he's been all right and and I I don't understand why people you know John you're not the first one this is comes up all the time about Shelden Williams several loves. Show Sheldon Williams and -- a good guy and he's certainly works hard in you don't have to worry about his work ethic in when he's in the -- all right but. I think Glen Davis is a better offensive player than Shelden Williams as a little bit more jump shot I also think he's a better rebounder and even a bigger body either about the same size of -- course -- With the Glen Davis and a and it's just a numbers thing I mean he got Rasheed Wallace. He missed a -- is -- primary season yet another issue but still. You get right Kendrick Perkins there started city get Rasheed Wallace and as far as their -- after that. You've still got to Glen Davis so we gonna find the minutes. For Shelden Williams is for it in -- course we Garnett went.

Yeah I just like the scene became east. You know and some serviceable minutes because they just don't give them our -- give them that much and -- think there's something.

I'm not that good a player John. He's all right is what he Aziz you know eleventh twelfth guy. I mean isn't that do you think that if he was as as good as ever on things and Alia that could start the season. He was a benefit on at times and it sounds like him knocking Shelden Williams and but. Note the benefit when they were playing so well at the beginning of the season. Was anyone on him underneath the basket where they -- paying a little bit more attention this was before all these teams knew that Rasheed Wallace. And it's going to be a bust this season but. When they were spacing the floor when that second unit also just killing teams. Weren't they leaving Shelden Williams along quite a bit underneath the basket and get some goodies he looks underneath there.

All right it never seems to -- when he he's not one of these guys in. I couldn't tell you I'm curious to know how many times -- Davis got in amongst the trees and and block the shot. And he can't find the top.

as they've been playing pretty good lately Glen Davis -- the past month. I'd best offensive read up.

He'd yeah I got again and now he's he's around them -- an awful lot I don't know I would like to see him a little bit more like deceit. I'll just. From time to time I'm in quite some of these other guys just place and place -- mob minutes you can happen in this situation -- it really needs.

The only time we gonna see him is in the regular season anyway. He's not -- be counted on during playoff time. I think you see him during the playoffs maybe if it's a blowout in either direction late in the game in -- garbage time I might be about it.

They came out -- college so highly.

All I know well it lot of guys have it and by the way that was my next point about him don't you think then. You know do you think everyone's been wrong on him and Lana -- all these teams that he's bounced around with the Doria I think if he was as good as people of that call -- is that it be -- is in a certain situation for a little bit longer.

I can't file every other team that I gotta say that they Geithner. Cream rises to the top you always know with what era.

Yeah right well it was a restaurant and ordered him back in 2006 by Atlanta and and never panned out and he's been given minutes before in the past and just hasn't played well would -- in those stops committees to back up. Forty disease you know a serviceable eleventh guy on the team on on a good team. -- John appreciate the call here's. Eric in a car they are.

I you don't and you know we. Are right. I yacht called connect outlook statistics that she brought up with the -- production variant our. Market area. Have they predicted. Luck production in the acted out well -- com. To the actual number for the Sox in the last.

I don't know what day projected for last season I know a lot of people look at this it's a lot of executives and a lot of baseball people. Rely on this and in look at this quite a bit. I I'd have to look at what they said last season about to about the Red Sox a look at during the break.

I'd be really great now -- keep listening.

What do you think -- you know you confident of the Red -- I don't think it's gonna be completely anemic I'm not saying that.

Yeah well I I think I'd be fine I don't think again on the same amount. I think that -- get an -- to to do they need to do. -- alert well pitching deal. It's.

Even their pitching rotation. Yeah I would say this I don't think there's going to be because there just isn't in the American League particularly in the American League east level these people saying all the gonna win a lot of two to one games three to two games. I care we have pitching how many 32 games that we see between the Yankees and Red Sox.

I'm quite a bit right. You know who had been attacked but. I don't know maybe more blowout scores then there.

I I think even even. Playing and thanks a caller acumen -- some of these teams see another bit playpen in Baltimore there -- two yards they've pretty good offensive team and and even Toronto as some hitters economy Miller the going to be -- Tampa -- pretty good team offensively. The bottom of their lineup I think is better than last year I certainly like has scored a row and Cameron down their more than say Ameritech. And Lugo downtown there at the end of the line and I think ever -- biggest concern and understandably in this is minus their number five hitter David Ortiz. Now what's gonna happen in the air would it's so much depends on David Ortiz and now Adrian Beltre. Play. And then of course every time you mention those two guys who Michael -- this team. I'm thinking more and more he might be with the -- to start to -- may have been completely off their but he has -- hardly had any spring training at bats. So I think teams wanna get a look at him a little bit better I don't know how many at bats is gonna deter the regular season but. Not a paid ten million dollars for him to place somewhere house. I understand the distraction that I guess that's part of it is for his. They're concerned that this guy will be breathing down Adrian Beltre is neck in they want diskette to be comfortable and on have to worry about. Being replaced at the -- I am more concerned about Ortiz what he put Jeremy Hermida in there and at TH or fourteen uses a struggling. And they're both left in advance anyway here's Stephen Fall River Steve.

I'm without actually. -- you go to war at all worried about a band two without actually older than you. I think when my concerns. Have we heard I. I can't even understand why that would be. If these guys -- quote quote I don't like Mike. Nine and I -- yeah yeah let me it does -- like your feelings performance you don't have to worry about. But from the effects point of view. I think it's more -- don't want him to be a problem in the club house weren't weren't complaining about playing time meaning I won't -- all that that I've been wrong. John because I -- my goals and Greg. Citizen and I it's terrific column extra energy personality in the -- open doesn't guys. They don't know maybe there was more sure Brian last year than we. No and -- was upset about that finally -- them. You -- Also yeah I've -- problematic it should say we get rid of a guy like that we you know what he can -- potentially who would you have all the question. And then on top and hey. While I -- I'd like to see Amir opening day here give the entered in the you can -- something I can't read this you know let it rest. -- got that night. I sent the -- bulked copies -- the beginning alone. Why you don't you want to play what 43 minutes tonight against Sacramento I'm Mara I want it intrigued -- has now. God what. It really the -- I we've got to be seeing a lot of guys like Spencer Hawes and a surprise Sacramento bands in the way one.

I I I -- what -- what think about -- attract an old crap beta. Bob Kraft said we gotta get in on it out pretty complicated. That I. -- complicated deal that edit edit it got a big you know they gonna work out why it is. Accurate but they say -- the patriot -- Great wants to beat. Them and it played out back couple. Are we tracked it ultimately don't know what I'm pretty -- That can't be why we all edit it when -- search about how it pretty well. That was in Bob bar all these -- bad guys I read somewhere between aren't they bubble that panic. Bid.

There is his exact quote -- the story right here in front of me were balancing a lot of different factors in an unknown environment. That's true because of the uncapped year would not sleeping up which is complicated it's complicated for a roll and hope we do is satisfactory job will figure -- one way or all.

You could wind up the topic of -- And that ever played at all -- with Joe -- when it comes. Acted out eight at by how Pete Manning with calls. I don't know I don't know about that. May it may be that bad bill but I don't see I I don't. Oh gee why you don't think they'll get a deal and I do not. I think I -- get a deal out front page should. Well people are saying the public that it is all of the bat. It could -- at the and that that the NFL quarterback. Who the two quarterbacks that have been control on the patriot is the obstacle. Bledsoe and -- Brady we call -- crap don't know what Eddie. Trick or the back they don't all the bad that it had ordered.

I think -- I think they -- into a look at some other teams and so we're up against a break Steve would some tough situations here so. I'm confident that a deal might be waiting to see what -- Brady and that might be interest in what Peyton Manning gets for contract I think he does wanna get paid this time around have taken. In I don't see is that six years sixty million dollars but still. That he's taken less money the market value in the past John -- here in for Mike in the planet Mikey show still some time left -- 61777. Kinds -- fifty toll free -- 52 fives are worried fifty text messages. The -- to -- AT&T in the text as it's 85850. David in the car the rest your calls after the short break.

All about the sports fans let's talk this -- stop -- is good WEEI Sports Radio network. We -- dot com.

John -- quickly filling in for Mikey on the planet Mikey show -- Mike you'll be back with -- you unknown Monday its effect calls here's David in the curry David.

Eight judges from the Shelden Williams and you know you. Had a saying what you think -- go back great nobody got shelled it would be great what would talk about it you know can guide -- Serviceable -- and they did not big effort did not read it we were talking you know they. -- And Rasheed Wallace at allotted you the roar -- it made it clear that they gave the command will show. -- Rasheed Wallace. The guy that I -- that if if you get good. William minister Rasheed Wallace has been getting -- on the same way that it's the number -- come you'd think that should play well because wall. And -- because of the contract because what he's gotten net.

And our -- Wallace is a better player Michelle Williams and they are -- played this -- and it does more things believe me. I thought he honey I'd I'd get a critic of of Rasheed Wallace the season by the way I can understand plain Shelden Williams -- minutes of big baby was struggling but he's not.

figured dogged it there. What's that they've paid you big baby all. You can take away at Walter. Read it.

Now it's generally aimed at Glen Davis or similar players. As far as -- ran out of time we can debate that more David any time -- through liner note -- other different. Time that does it for us on the planet Mikey show although we have a prize here I'm just forget about this camp give forget about this. -- Colorado now at 6179311850. To win a fifty dollar. -- McKinnon says the best quality value his selection of meats seafood produce deli baked goods and groceries available. To win call 6179311850.

A great job by -- officials always some German -- opponent for Mikey Michael will be back with the as -- and Monday -- Celtics in the kings up next and then. Sweet sixteen games of the NCAA tournament after that have a good weekend.

It's all -- told me yeah.
