You know the confusing part of this thing out project organizers of the Yankees Red Sox play -- headed for Jeter -- scheme 32 would lord Jesus gave 34 eyes can't. It's getting very confused. Really is. Maybe his or we can do just for -- maybe we can print out -- the Red Sox and Ortiz versus the Yankees just because that's on redo that this tested that last -- when askew production as swear to god you'd done for the night -- gonna helluva job. Turning out all this crap. If Aggies did Jeter versus the Red Sox and.
And Ortiz versus the Yankees that all that work -- given up now number given up on taken stuff satellites side yes as it was -- paper. John the script it and they just wasting time it's Carty Don -- muted -- toward everyone -- in on the way ago nobody you know we're -- that tonight we give up all the voters. Did the media in the voters -- rule book just stupidity it's adding to bombardier cheaper in sports Ulster correct it things he had Jeter first my -- second and Ortiz third. Real number -- As you know. Game 35 is this is fair. Be ways forest where the games the match up exactly that that soldiers at 7 o'clock did -- tipped you all eyes especially when you get to the stretch were -- what ten or 11 you don't mind head to head -- confusing and I -- which were Erica. This is justice discordant somber beauty which I'd assuming he has vote is Derek Jeter as -- and he human powers -- in the Turkey's third. Justin -- fourth ranked Thomas. In saint -- still smoking crack on the time is national against the actually as Albert tools right now our cities it's. All right let's and at J and J potter thanks Alfonso Soriano is going to win the award -- as a -- eat. Huge numbers he can't -- talk liability field and as a tool it is got palpable on third rookie -- Bird avenue behind no but it labor bears probably gonna win the national horse who's ahead Pavel artery in the year Berlin -- liriano. It's reminder to end up like 14 or 15 -- even may be even more zero point 92 with 35 saves. Marion finished the season -- here we go again. You gotta play an area prosecutors -- another showing it wasn't it was stolen it is as it was channeling it on the rcn network I think it's localized Italy cable access but it was bordello called as the overlord frozen video. Of -- game and standing there aren't sideways channel 30 autumn -- on TV 30 Jill Dougherty let Mikey being a publix theater network that what's -- W we. He's via the sense that's women's advocates aren't I don't -- Indonesia and that's for the -- of the new CW. The NHL games are on we have.
I don't know what their arms Yeltsin is the outdoor we network. All right but slowed the phone lines up because we have still we still have some progress to make in this broadcast we do you know commitment to midnight every night. And is in -- it is the -- have been so pricey at least 11 or two lines opened it never happens on mr. 6177790858885250850 that's the toll free number. A couple of emails -- want to get to hear 'cause we asked for the emails and if you don't -- of people get upset it's that they're tightening supplies they have some good to say Mikey I hate that guy at least frank from Gloucester is somewhat likeable. I dismissed the -- Marjorie. Oh that's right. I hate Mecca at least Franklin Gloucester somewhat likeable as you can laugh at him this wannabe mob boss cause -- homer well I'd I'd rather be a homer. Then a front runner like this typical Yankee fans. Tech typical Yankee Scott excuse me. I base a Laker fan thinks Michael -- quarterback I never under the north and was so close to the Bronx and areas nothing better to do that washed dishes and pick pockets over there on Hanover street. But -- lot will come a 100% Italian so I can say this this is not the 1920s. Sees it this type result off August. -- Italian thing you know it is this is a party real but there's parts of it is good story it's against the -- Here's one about Joey the north sent him Mikey when you were when you were talking that he arrogant Yankee fans -- in the north then did you happen traced the call on showbiz award for his whereabouts. The guy sounds like some thug on the most wanted list that's from -- Jerry. In in Malden Mikey what's cracking baby. What we go through the argument of poppy Jeter all night long the homers versus the the fielded an all that stuff does making the playoffs count yes it does he's got to admit that they're both very valuable when you really great point saying if it didn't bother us Yankee fans we wouldn't call on a different note. I just water budget a few weeks ago our veteran John brewers in Waltham and just let you know. You you did show some very attractive ladies the infamous Yankee -- too. You know. Or are must've been a late night not an improper -- might it's not it's not like -- the the Yankee tattoo on my ass cheek is a very high yup it's almost like lower back. Kinda thing so it's not like -- morning everybody what sort of news are we get more emails target that but first let's get to -- phone caller from Cambridge's name is Mike.
They might technical my I'm just a quick cut exert yeah I want to inform you just a button to stop this whole topic of Tito Ortiz -- you have to do -- look could. And Nomar got -- towers wines but what five or six years maybe look at this number is right compared to GDP numbers this year. No I didn't even get me at 2 PM DP and his numbers were much much better and leadership which is more prove that the white Eric cheated when an AMP beat. For Rom four longevity and -- Yankee -- Hillary's book.
You think it's all because because it is that there it's kind of an emeritus award.
Of course it is of course it is okay he's a great player. I you aren't great franchise a great scene but he kept it as a lifetime achievement measures yeah I mean if you look no further normal outnumbered almost numbers were much gravity is in -- that -- you know
he generally speaking at the gets pretty well established that the MVP award goes to the you know the impact rbi home run guided guided smashes in the most runs during the course of a year and there that the killer's -- came up came up on the 31 July I was at -- And I -- flash on the screen that from July 31 of 5 till July 31 of most six again that's to have season currently. It's a calendar year David Ortiz hit 60 home runs and a 160 runs batted an -- that's just crazy.
In its current approach might mean he didn't go on an qualities that nothing's going to change because he's from New York and at one -- New York. And that's just okay did you get agreement -- idea.
Okay here's a we got okay notices for -- for -- people out there that think Derek -- big in the big games the games against the red sox' big yet pretty much I think so generally they went like this 71 at bats against the Yankees from mr. Ortiz 66 for Jeter.
Ortiz scored 14 Jeter scored 12 Ortiz had 22 hits Jeter had 19 batting average was 310 for Ortiz against the Yankees to radiate against the Red Sox -- four Derek Jeter. Power numbers against the Yankees six doubles for poppy. Two doubles for Jeter. Six home runs for poppy zero home runs for Jeter 16 driven in nine for Jeter 13 walks the Yankees walked in 13 times Jeter walked four times. -- poppy at 17 strikeouts against the Yankees corporate 13 per year so on base percentage 338 for Derek Jeter for 12 for David Ortiz slugging 318648 and the OB OPS which is kind of a -- all 656 for -- one point 6. For poppy so head to head okay that's really don't we've established at this juncture factually.
Really established anything yes we have Jeff don't say just registered -- you should know head to head who's the best. -- clearly -- clearly did you do for shows after the MVP awards you know going to talk pox we're going to talk about hockey basketball we don't know the NBA starting the of the Celtics that the entire football season to play out front of his hot -- baseball. And what's this -- a -- J potter -- here. I take hockey or grab the watch TV and see another freaking Kerry -- yen on TV hey Mikey the patriots win the AFC championship game on the road beating Peyton Manning in the colts at the Hoosier dome. After another -- season by Payton and the colts going 15 and one the team once again fell to its greatest nemesis. Losing again an almost similarly crushing manner as last year's loss in the same -- to the skewers the patriots will move on -- Miami facing NFC winners the cowboys led by former patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe and controversial -- out TO. The pats trailing by two and 30 seconds. By two point 230 seconds to work took over their own 29 Brady found a wide open Doug Gabriel who raced down the sideline knocked out of bounds that the colts 30 -- five seconds remaining on the clock. Out trotted the patriots rookie place kickers stamp his own history of the franchise in comic knock down a 48 yarder to stop the Hoosier dome crowd. And ashen faced Peyton Manning was seen wiping a tear from his eyes he headed for the locker room once again his greatest trophy denied him I imagine on your show the next 91 discussed the Red Sox. I was wonder where the guy I was dogma that children last line was pretty good rich Richard -- is is your paper you know has won two years ago that widely rated certainly wouldn't happen for first of his voice is beautiful than any. But right now. -- MVP and and the thing would when he talked after 43 was at. You talk about. -- our great pets are makes for a long week got the dolphins -- and yeah dock ever ever closed the show anybody wants any -- and agents like. Trees and live in his -- restaurant mean Mikey eats Monday. Mikey eats steak Monday knows that the and that they have loads Gooden puberty is beautiful women there -- last time chip babies were too. --
to work each day slashed some a deep questioner guests ignored -- cool you know it's I love it down there. I'm going to Hang rather -- when it's not football season Charlie in Worcester.
I I suspect my -- my -- I there's no question all out the level -- that your response okay while. Why -- out Trot -- while the -- Red Sox treat Trot Nixon. The way the Yankees treated currently later -- still sign Trot Nixon sort you're -- one year contracts but went very well I'll tell you --
Otherwise and here's why the Yankees to do they want. It he's campaign brains and they want it only cared does matter it's except the view more conservative will wiser with what they spent their 140 million dollars on because they're constantly chasing of the -- machine known as the New York Yankees so if if the if the seven million dollars at trot Nixon's kitten is something the -- to maybe get some pitching where they'll do with the Yankees vacant as they -- or stick around for -- payment the boxy bare back. You know it's a little different Trot Nixon certainly is AB lebed former Reds are former exactly pretty much going to before it's like where because of his attitude is dirt dog mentality he's got a good character people like him he's had one big downfall. And that's and he's been injury prone two he's got to he can't hit lefties to savers and the -- Williams was you know an established an all star center fielder and and a switch hitter analysts doubt the little bit different Nixon. He's got one functioning bats against right handed pitching. And he gets injured.
It's sad and not be -- Marxist yeah. At a spot that we have a false sense of security -- by like so much on the kids like they've -- spot. Like right answer now have a any doubt -- the last rock I don't think that should I had about a year of seasoning and that it.
Yes I think the Red Sox lead to two earlier that was -- in the optimum situation but here's what happened. You get you going to spend a few million dollars to get some bullpen help. You get Rudy Seanez coming up the great years San Diego he -- for yet yet tavarez who has been around a major -- along time you'd you'd you'd they didn't count for decent relief pitching and in the bullpen he sucked he'd -- didn't didn't. Become good pitcher to it became a starter. So now you got these two guys failing miserably. And you call I have to call on the young guys now with Lester he comes up he's five and all we ended up 72 he looked good for awhile course the bad information on him as the music the cancer. And we hope he's going to be fine with that many don't Carmen was disappointing I thought I thought Craig cancers are supporting papelbon did well but it would they have like to give those guys wartime yeah -- course.
And Lockhart not all of part of what you MVP this reminds me goes back in my mount. In 1965 when autos all but I yhency and B -- what youth was shot stopped for the moment the sun -- yeah. One they have like it'd market like audio Lire -- homage syllable -- yeah I remember what Almonte in the rbi but. I'm a big back then follow -- beat.
He had well though he wasn't even that -- defense is okay but that's the thing about him was that he had a lot of clutch hits. He had a high batting average and and more home resident but he expected from his shortstop that year and -- has kind of stuck out on that team is a guy who over achieved he's probably the closest he ended the Barry Larkin national league MVP are probably the two closest examples you can find. Of a similar position player who would Jeter like numbers making it to the to the most valuable player award generally speaking you say that's in that's if there's a lack. Of guys around the league with the big impressive numbers and and guess what this year there isn't as David Ortiz had incredible numbers this year. And can't be overlooked he and -- want to team like Minnesota who played solo second half the year in morneau is a big part of that I think he's a strong guy. And I and I think Jeter threw for his career year should be that giving consideration but is it to me is -- close at all between either of those guys in Ortiz no I really don't think it is. So well we'll see what happens is going to be you know tragic if he loses two MVPs in a row finished second to Yankees. One of them named A-Rod and the other one named Jeter.
And that collapse put pressure quietly icky outside they get the million -- spoke be out of mind. They go off like the -- but the problem Rebecca probably backdrop -- they apoplectic peep out of a ticket buying out the babbitt.
You know the seats to become less and less intimate I think you could charge more if you build right with the -- luxury boxes are going to dictate a lot of that money is well. If Yankee stadium because a for the whole new very very expensive -- seats and luxury boxes and they'll do very well -- that and most of the stadiums now for baseball are are between 43 and 50. You know so -- and that's all they'll do they'll they'll just charge more all right Charlie thanks for the call hand overs were Kevin in his --
I took up I don't I you don't. -- native and then actually -- but it ability you know he had a -- that's all right we got nothing but time here the that they he had bet you -- bought that a 90 I have.
Oh yeah along this Connecticut shoreline
I'm actually proud and it's also proud of Arab and -- but I am actually going to Europe next week the job and city. Analysts analysts sports radio up there and that that there are -- that was not an -- bright -- not.
Now they are best friends is that a New York radio broadcast.
that banned the failed and that then sports center exports mostly just get radio New York and do it again gets populated. Split while the power saw it probably would -- lead. They were able to get back that they yes that's shift upstairs Arafat 2003 -- all -- great game but again no they get the -- seven and it fled Tibet and -- atletico paid.
They did well you know that they need debt because since 2000 they haven't won anything and if you remember when they finally did go to the World Series thanks to Aaron reached in Boone you know that when they did get the World Series they get their asses handed to them by the Florida Marlins to be was a beautiful thing to watch.
And I need to -- adopt them might decide you know in excess embryos without I would get around this and that but that'll get you out there.
Well you know world -- picks up probably down round just passed new Haven more like rotten may be new London Connecticut news. Now here's what I do I bring audio books I have the days ahead the big bam. I have -- but Phil's book on audio books and it's great and I course I read it I've already read it at home at least the audio version you know property unit to you can listen to music. It's a good book two -- thanks Kevin we'll take a break welcome back -- have all more fun frivolity those of you want to hold Stan hold you will be the final portion of this broadcast on planet Mikey.
I think they're your ability to be -- He regularly went 90 it was a solid one night he hit the ball hard to get robbed them all fly balls. You it's I agree to -- six -- symptoms of an injury to keep at one point oh Mikey longtime listener. I don't know I've got to keep by the pew kid yeah. That's that's coast right it is this woman is nice -- from Newton's second listened to -- stuff like puke in the years is disgusting.
Mikey longtime listener of your show is and I'm writing tonight to give your compliment on how well you handle those -- Yankee callers like that Josephine of the north end. My guess Mikey is the has about as many brain cells as frank of Gloucester has teeth so that would be like two. Trooper in sales thank you Laurie Michael Roman -- menos kind of sexy
it has from Richard -- love the show have you ever heard of the Jeter shift the morneau shift the -- shift not -- not only know only one player has to contend with the ship the MVP big -- That pompous airbags -- Adam. He called Shawn pick -- up pompous air bag what Co. He should never be allowed to vote again won last start you need to look to me anything -- you started selling that little geek on the morning show John meter for a couple.
in on the main thing I will let -- once he's gone. On the MVP count this is from Brendon in Bedford big -- hands down the MB curator -- could be 54 homers is a lot the company would've had if he has a right handed if you -- a -- also on the DH. Also on the DH not if Manny Ramirez had identical numbers as cheaters would he win the -- okay IC okay right so that's good question to place the -- reported poorly about where many as Oreo that. Mikey not sure if you guys mentioned this but it's very simple take Jeter the Yankee lineup and you still have eight other all stars to fill the void take -- out of the Red Sox lineup the Sox are screwed. Oh boy there's one online -- Mrs. like all stats is from the Stat man yep I don't bother us at Bob's stab me he -- like. Books and books as he honestly he's he's some bond with the stuff but I can't possibly have time repeats several pages of information. Mikey does it seem to you that the best division suffers because of the wild card. It seems true at least the last two years of the Sox Yankees and twins tigers beating on each -- the end of September -- O five you know six and suffering from a not really a fan of a five game series it's almost like a team is out after one loss. Another thing I wonder about doesn't nationally starting the playoffs a day later give the American league an extra day of rest before World Series they start the same time.
That -- at three games Thursday when I don't understand.
Is why the Yankees a get prime time every night discussed DD he he not follow that tomorrow because their wimpy attitude on the rain thing they decide -- caballero did play 1 o'clock tomorrow and then. The tiger pitchers already warming up the Yankees don't share the information -- those guys warming up the Yankees -- bother warm up that's -- that's the Yankees are cheaters not Jeter's they're cheaters Ryan in Waltham.
But it by curator Ryan sort of chairmen and the rookie of the year and -- if you are particular period up on its certainly accurately area where Arabic into it's as much of the season --
He got hurt he got hurt to papelbon went down -- early September that it matters soup area and start the season started -- now -- and -- new money into came late left early exactly CKU stop at all. -- at papelbon.
By the way you know use east not look at his season's stats at 3635. At one point was a certainly at a pace to break the all time saves record that we know what happened Red Sox got -- and it's in a situation where they never had a save situation eight in August 8 the -- super 12 innings and they lost 221 games. Secondly in September he got her
and his these. The should be you know these figures would be the -- used -- went on about started heading into APEC come back to work division.
No -- you're right but they also got extremely good pitching down the stretch from their race -- Yo hand Santana he was like lights out in August and September.
There's been no pitcher ever get him keep it interesting if the -- last.
Richard when the FB -- 92 -- sectors.
I had no ritual of -- united keeping accurate community -- I mean -- vacuum. Evidently it had those particular numbers in America right now petition Africa.
Right well maybe people are rethinking that anyway based and I remembered the hugest argument in that respect David 78 run did -- was 25 and three with a one point 74. Not too shabby but Jim Rice got it because he was the first crisis. God knows what was in the 40s or 50s early 50s. The first gotta have 400 total bases in the season first guy since dimaggio. And he he did data based on his 200 -- at 46 homers he would 15 triples unit drove 130 some runs. You are 37 runs a lot of -- and guess what poppy draw a 137 runs this year I am sick and tired of people ignoring that there Ryan.
They're into their he scored a hundred -- walked a 170 times led the league in walks that's a sign of respect. It also gives you less opportunities when they're walking yen due July as opportunities to put up of the offensive numbers.
Bradley you know music arguing it's because -- sort of semi public positive reviews -- all right.
He struck out he struck out 15 more times and Derek -- that's it.
But it main point is reputed -- right is that the term assessment is Jeter a lot of Ortiz whose herbal. The -- talks herbal or.
At all. Did you go malls prayer Eric thanks for the call Ryan 6177790850 Hyde park where's Sam is on duty.
I Q without -- that what do you do with Sam a flexible identical or equivalent in the you'd people the it was cool all the an -- that's going to look the American outlaw want to make create. Yankees and and federal law the biggest David Ortiz and think the utilities in the -- and visible sick
the MVP quote beyond the -- I think it's like saying as well. You know Michael Jordan should -- Shaquille O'Neal should win and be viewed the that goes without saying the numbers -- he saw themselves but there's the -- things that need to be clarified. Saying that without I've been hearing a lot of comments about like unity take you are alive and was too.
Is she would people it seems -- of that is that. In another -- the stable that it it is in the when the whistles were relatively the and the Yankees were struggling buried -- lineup this incident and Phillips you know -- Cabrera the bunch of view rookies that entity -- was guide. So I think in the -- can be Yankees in the race between that is wet and exceed expertise -- with these numbers because essentially he's the guy that set the table. That's what is getting Indian VP I am not saying is better than did utilities that has nothing to do -- it is -- the point that when the Yankees were pretty -- when -- because no immediate -- and -- economic 60 games we get -- so we got beat me it was like habitat was quoted Indian was not play all the we get -- pitches like you know that's what the the bandage down like he got a --
You say that there down slightly union used to talk about Mike Mussina in 19 million dollars a year Randy Johnson 16 million dollars a year what our future hall of Famer you're talking about having the best.
Closer in all the baseball Mikey that you gotta take into consideration the performance on the field what I'm saying the when Derek Jeter got -- PP because of the the lineup that was competing against the the -- relatively healthy residents in. Well the lab haven't dissented at NBC analyst Miguel Cairo Craig Wilson but a bunch of like the two Cabrera up until rookie essentially that is that you can -- against one thing that you committed -- berry Judy if you look at least that's right.
You know what before we stop right there though Sam before agree further when the Red Sox got past August when the injury started to hit them they are playing you know with. Gave -- alert in the outfield they had had early indices that really Harris plane in the house.
You know but did and I am but they did not over the composition is suspected that totally collapsed. I understand though he's getting credit for keeping the team -- lol okay when the team was banged up at 1 point that I am making --
If any should get some credit for that but that didn't David Ortiz keep the.
Reds together when when I'm but visibility is going to put that -- that Stephen is second you know using that the -- that deal in Tabasco nobody knows that abroad game so Kobe Bryant should be indeed he. We you don't want guys that's keeping his team sports and no 11 point element it was clear apology is number if you look in the numbers right but essentially this but that has that'd -- that that -- off as -- second that it that it does. If you look at his numbers -- southern seldom. That you see that yet small or home games. Barely settled seldom use that yet mordant lobby yet again. So essentially these numbers if you watch the Yankees that we that we that we do and that's why -- can understand when peoples and -- some of the people of this and I will oppose the most watched Derek -- every game. You get the Tom Brady sacked outlook guy that almost have single deep and true view one we -- the other the team went what -- is on the -- what is useful and be just the people's will would be. The blue spot on gotten caught five this guy was still -- thousand Indian back. It would do real pitching.
I got no argument with the fact he's a great player I have an argument with the fact that he's the most valuable.
Out of bed let it is not a bad -- ended -- element that -- went -- and I -- tell -- deceiving because -- difference -- can be -- to -- You would deal lives in one -- you read the numbers just Regis what happened back in a significant in this city. -- outlet but all five home runs and cannot be and then you'll want to -- forceful when he hit and before you know that -- he had agreed market yet cannot yet to that's what and I must think David Ortiz wasn't about that -- you know at ease ease the NDP easily beatable but of people discredit what their -- no date you.
I don't know that's not the point code is not to discredit what Derek Jeter does and certainly there's validity to the little things he does on the field on a regular basis and the guys a heads up player there is bits of debate about how good shortstop he really is you know and and how much of that is is the big big glamour of the big stage and were.
Constantly acting you know -- you are so if you had a blood that I think for the past two years. I think for the past two years he's been saying what decent in the field but I think these few honest to -- in the badly it. He's not been an eloquent but these got these yet people -- and -- sure exhibited to the few times in the field telling you did -- has been a special year. I'm not sensational one at lax you -- the year before but I'm single I don't know when when it was everybody's sellout -- look so we have but he can't dot sometimes don't look at the lineup and -- and quote Loyola.
But what -- you know it's a 340 average without the power numbers and and taking you -- out of it -- bill Miller would have batting crown for the Red Sox bill Miller. And with a similar model home runs in a similar amount rbi -- I mean that's just that's kind of what you have to do because the the intangibles are so hard to find analysts who watch the team every single way.
Just sit at home -- decision widow if you look at how what what Peyton Manning does and the number of basic premise is what you mean -- sure. I have --
I who won the MVP of the National Football League last year.
Well last year it was it was on Alexander the year before let these people -- it was correct but absent superbowl and people -- would you have had an argument believe it would give it to --
well again it's -- mean what would you do know you well I'd -- of course you could have an argument look at a Brady's plane as a -- winner bridge -- used to -- away.
Yet treaty does for the patriots can argue that people that it would not have been able poem because of those intangible
opposite you're making a good argument but unfortunately because -- on seven minutes I gotta go to the next call you call me again some time reference right he you know he's -- James clarity pays attention like that he's passionate. Yankee fan reach reasonable. And I'm not sitting here to argue that intangibles are an important part of of baseball they certainly Yar. But what's what's -- tangible or intangible walk off home run. You know is a walk off home run a 137 rbi 137 guys 54 home runs and it Jeter Jeter had scored a 140 runs. You know with a high batting average. That you might have a case. Jeter has the same numbers as Ortiz except without the home runs without the rbi the only difference the batting average. Walks Ortiz on base percentage it's a time runs scored it's -- slugging Ortiz home runs Ortiz rbi as Ortiz strikeout of the sick at.
It -- a limo driver.
Michael -- As the -- needed my old pal Dave. The field by pal -- the used to drive all the guests to my TV show every single week. Like TV show about -- you don't encourage us your baby boy it's great he got his first halves yesterday the first that you decided there was Bite me. Not a secret and he got this guy. When about a bit of its 40 died purity voted I think which numbered on we can't do that you know once he gets enough so called ghost a dirty made the vote. If he's going to have to answer for the day everybody and -- and back.
Now he tends to think that in order to to get real serious consideration of these from him and and there are other people probably think the same -- he does that the team has to be in involved in the post season. It.
These numbers are just incredible I don't get it. Like two a walking legend. -- way he's like babe Ruth. David Ortiz is again. Well it comes up on a rotating basis he had this year. He said -- he had -- would have voted for -- the series voting for either Jeter or morneau as we begin and it's a permit system we -- 40 talked about of the big Saturday. Added security so today I listen what are you -- combined visit. All right great -- Michael thank you he did not talk to you see you later it David who's.
Drove all the guests into the show everybody you know.
Bobby your -- Bill Walton and gave Collins the sort of Communist sort of which it over my --
Mike green well being -- partner on the show we have some really good -- and I show we had that the guys the cast members from love boat we did yet the doctor in the daughter -- Summary oust the the love boat people whose great you are you have below votes on -- going to play guys.
It's back do you yeah.
Yeah yeah. Soon grant is being made it didn't -- Blue -- It's both provinces.
Mrs. Derek in Brockton your next solo dirt hey Mikey was that -- our probably our final call the night like come on flat at eight poured giant -- always been on hold reformists. Oscar that's not agreed that subject what don't people understand about most valuable player.
I I don't I don't understand why people get this use the definition of value. But aren't so that the definition of valuable I'd argue desirable to have input it's like he said he -- him out that it ever got there also suggested that people that it will.
You know I don't think it's reasonable for anybody -- you got Jeter had set at shorts right let's say you had Joe blow average American league shortstop. -- well I mean probably may possibly better fielder maybe maybe not let's just say that the Jeter's average when it comes to the overall range factors in August opens talk about the deal -- Let's just say he's a guy is gonna make the normal place and with a difference a margin of 10% let's say if you think -- great or behaviors of these no attempt percent margin of error on on the normal fielding pricey take that out. -- that kind of margin. And then you add in the numbers of the average shortstop 175 with ten home runs or whatever it is you figure that into the mix and then you take the difference between that guy and Jeter.
