The nail is finally in the coffin for the Sox

And I missed more than I thought yesterday. I mean I I've. You know that'll teach me I'm I'm on a golf course. In Portland Maine a beautiful day. Myself fund raising venture on behalf of scholarships at the University of Maine and and I didn't hear a minute of the entire show. I don't know what's your -- while I was pretty sure. That I I hadn't even put my briefcase down here in the building this morning when somebody came running up to me in the hallway and said. Asked Michael how we thought that Daisuke outing went last night evidently sets up about that.

Daisuke Dice-K the man. Let me down now I'm sure all of you -- let me down yes I am sure all of you. Remember. The rough moments for Superman. Elect to the war yeah it's something and you know Kryptonite. Magically arrived from somewhere in Superman was doubtful while he was down last night and just did not get out of the rut so. I'm gonna go every cliche I can come up with today for the Red Sox which is finally last night. And he should read a -- Had Jesse Jackson -- 'cause that you know what I ask yourself I don't know hope is gone. On the nail in the coffin Katie bar the door whatever it's all Olmert apparently it's not. To come any kind of cliche you can come up -- sports world it applies to the Red Sox because it is finally. Irreversibly. Over cannot resurrected body this court this -- it's gonna -- late.

Maybe they just don't have the horses they don't maybe it's as simple as that the court and we got -- noted for awhile now you know we we. We admired the plucky upstarts the guys who came in Daniel -- hits a Grand Slam in his first at bat in the major leagues and Ryan K list comes up from the minor league in hits two Grand Slam so far. And Darnell McDonald came in and and gave them admirable fill in play. But the bottom line here is you had guys playing on a regular basis -- exposed to be back ups or supposed to still be in the minor leaks.

All over. All done. That's a -- now. It was very interesting. Last night the game played out the way it did because this is count like. This is an appropriate ending. Make it 53540. Your ass kicked up just -- that's what should have been happening a long time ago you know give the Red Sox -- an ounce of credit a little bit of credit for hanging around when they really had no business hanging around. But this has grown folks business right now grown folks are planned in a few Eagles at that little table. Because now this is this is really this is the real deal and take your old pickle -- idea yet. The Tampa Bay Rays versus the Red Sox last night not a fair fight. You know -- didn't have a nobody had. Against David Price. Get to run against David Price you have to zip and you think okay. We might have a chance here you see David Ortiz even though we struck out in his first Tibet versus David Price you saw him. Really have a quality at bat against them took the 32. Swung at a pitch outside nasty pitch from price. You don't blame Ortiz is a lefty really can pick up that pitch from the left into the last minute trying to check his swing could do it right so they're hanging around there to zip. Look like they'll be able to compete their baby Clay Buchholz will be starting on three days' rest. Tonight not so much not so much this was an appropriate. Bashing. Fourteen they're really needed to be put out of its misery and now and now we couldn't really devote our attention to -- football artful.

Terry Francona will join us at 1202 and one thing Alaska hope -- answer. If they had one last night. Would Clay Buchholz still be pitching of course what would -- be pitching would -- yes tonight if they had one last night yeah I mean they threw it out there. And he he's added in an away. That a lot of people can understand -- we don't -- it sounded like it Timmy that that but but I I just wanna ask a direct question and get a direct answer. We don't Wakefield is gonna pitch tonight. Buchholz is not gonna pitch in his regular turn in the rotation on Friday. The reason they were gonna even look at Buchholz on three days' rest is because the rain out last week is what really -- the mop. I think they had one last night but colts would have pitched tonight because if you do sweep the Tampa Bay Rays if you found a way to pull out off. You know your hanging on by a thread which -- hanging -- Now after last night I'm with you you're not hanging on by any threads anymore Tim Wakefield will pitch tonight. The united and I think that it may be the sort of situation where it out don't just move Marcos school wrote a second base -- his bum shoulder to go sit down. I mean dot level -- and and I give -- credit the world -- it's obvious watching him play watching him throw how much it hurts. If in fact they've come to the realization that you and I both think they have. Tell some of these guys who've been trying to battle through some stuff that it's okay.

They took us to Labor Day they got us to Labor Day with stumble with -- with an outside shot or Labor Day weekend then I guess you could say. They gave it up unofficially. Against the White Sox -- winning game. Just one game against the against the White Sox but. When they won their first game against Tampa announced on the six and a half in the got a chance to. Cut it to five and a half and then maybe to cut it to five and have Clay Buchholz is on the mound and he's the best pitcher in baseball my opinion. Okay and are not your business for an African now forget. -- done done done done done simulator.

we can turn our attention. Foursquare on the upcoming NFL season.
