I've never seen an offense that in such positions as. From the start of the game. And I'm proud of them and in the keep back. Keep scratching away and fighting. It's it's not there. -- back -- -- -- -- -- Bobby -- chorus you know I mean I got -- I mean this guy's got to be frustrating he thought he was getting some good -- top of this rotation in. How embarrassing is this for these guys they by the -- he's right wouldn't comment on it that. Dig themselves have -- out and -- about the all these first innings are have to depend on the office to go back to even -- and at that and you know having to thanks to the starting pitching has been so brutal. Text messages paid 5850 of the planet Mikey show. This text says in my would you eat the moon if it were made of barbecued spare ribs I no why would. Heck I'd have seconds then I'd polish it off with a tall cool Sam Adams. Going there. -- see that dia like the Yankees stole Ichiro with a -- was just sisters Sox trade Friedman Gonzales. On a Kerry. Say use it if you're sellers you sellers. Each -- you know at the end of his contract and they yankees campaigned for into eternity. They'll -- -- him you know I don't know if -- well animated radar deck and I chewy he wasn't the -- you know Ichiro can still help this team. Obviously that's a big story -- -- that noticed that we have -- a match and red sex play Texas tonight tomorrow the next night and is can be -- and we you know we get Matt. In lovely New Hampshire -- -- your first. Yeah I would -- And not -- -- its orbit -- and got talked about ready for a little while and what are the things that we don't forget is you know -- -- -- years. You know her erratic and when that opportunity in her regulars -- opening. And you're hurt and Redick. Value at an all time high -- he can't really play values and Ohio right now. Or if it is. Our pilot -- present 364. -- last year -- you know I said -- kid -- as a potential. No degree he at any point the Red Sox they got rid of them for not that. And I became a big benefit by you know at the same time it was one of those things where they thought you might peak right there and dialogue hired an awards are a couple months prior. And I value laws and their per dealership and that they actually Tyrod Taylor and -- -- they were hired Taylor's friend and you're right and we heard about that his real glimpse of something out of him of a -- two or three seasons ago whenever wasn't as healthy last. And what or ask your question Matt you've seen called the big league team this year ABC any of that. No not at all about how bad is -- out there are no pressure where. You at all pressure are you that guy and I don't know where pressure is what makes ball players go you've got to have pressure whether it's so reduced or you know or or situation. This guy -- at least in center field has been dropped balls run around like a fool out there looking like where does it know how to play center field. Haven't seen them much of them. The united he was -- I was -- -- it. And I think -- you know that they need -- like I know you look ridiculous very you know -- last year -- that the guys director and are expected to do anything and look what they're doing and reacting appeal -- under the radar well you know he's currently. But he got it pretty that is lending it at. And until I mean it. It's pretty ridiculous I mean we know that -- to get more guys like that they don't you gonna create -- they don't retreat into it and what they have in the system and build up. That's a one under you would have -- Seen that happen before they spent twenty million on an outfielder there hasn't played either. You know I get -- but you know when I price I got a pretty good look at Redick last year and while he had a little bit of ups and downs slumping wise the later in the season. You know we saw him sparkles for about two months. And salacious and -- maybe this kid is pretty good choice for regular. It is it's been. Well. They were they thought there again -- they were getting a closer return and in the and when he's healthy he's fine but the problem is Bailey's is always her. Right I mean in right. Meanwhile -- we see in the outfield nine guys I mean we're seeing you know Marlon Byrd for God's -- -- that we see and Scott Podsednik you know and meanwhile you sent this guy away for really for nothing and he's leading the that team. The Oakland a's team they're 5144. Yeah you know it and I think -- -- though their concern was. I'll -- it -- -- power coming no one's on this government. He strikes out alive I know does not know much not known a you know I saw it right you were here. And answer your question -- the same birthday Oakland that's right 5144. Okay partners in a -- text me. -- check your facts. The Yankees had the best record they do -- right to buy into -- -- -- the Yankees have won one more game. In the Texas Rangers they both lost 38 so you're right and I Apollo play when needed. You know besmirched the -- its game in hand thing but you're right the Yankees do have the best record in baseball by half a game. OK okay Stephen Fall River -- more happy than right here given night. I don't know man everytime I think that the people missed this could throw. You know you're seeing -- said that Friday's event Sachs would run away with the first well cut and they would create. A little Havoc for the Yankees to turn behind them book I can say they would put the I did say they will be 93 dimensional went before the -- is that it will quit predictable beat all the right injury. You know Steve we miss your kids screaming in the background on this call -- about what it a lot of games before the season I did. Like you -- I don't know what you went back to a year oracle for lasts. July 23 did I miss something -- a year ago today septic a year ago today that's what does that do. Well enough that for you your miserable you know. -- I went back to 2000 of all the glory years -- sell even more miserable develop their record this state west. On an island in 2004150. To 140 years ago while we ME ST what it -- at 48 for the year they want. This World Series and that's -- relevant why does it mean he's gonna put that well this stimulant they also had to Ager Martina is our channel that already gives you the one guy who was on that team is hurt right now. So it doesn't mean anything I went to last year. Because -- how could we could talk about where they are July it would give them all why you talk about 2004. -- -- me I understand the record that Steve was who was in that great but do you see any signs of this team duplicating what the 2014. Did you see any sign that have been backed them. I know what I had to go back. -- at that point 90 but why go back to that point time when I go back to ninety need to make smoking -- what. They -- -- -- July 23 1988 I didn't -- can matter what they have -- it is it July 23 is stepping it up backstage I'll take. You know from the perspective of Beebe the host of this program let me explain you why threw that out there -- it was a -- and Ted daddy. And it it was off thousands -- for Terry Francona and -- the record they were three games ahead of the Yankees and they were played six point two baseball one year ago tonight is rather why wasn't always that as a eight years ago go back. They -- but they want that they got their support Lieberman out of the four games out of the wild card. If they were for a game that while Condit -- attempt to -- this still in the that there. 500 team Steve they're -- right sock full episode. -- -- -- -- what you well I just don't see any signs. That the problem and it mentions tonight Steve you -- your homework assignment for next and you call Miami the next time the -- team that was in last place nine and a half games back in their division. On July 23 one. You finally got outlook which is at what he gonna win the wild card but still. Now the problem is and trying to think back 2004. American League you've got the angels -- get the tigers. It gets so many good teams the American. Jump over the even the White Sox even the Oakley days. OK 5144. You get everybody content would now. I don't get Steve's point. What is -- four have to do well he's saying because they. If they -- -- -- -- later because they want a year did have a great record in this team could do the same thing -- but I think the difference then look at the starting pitchers on that team encourage showing a regular space didn't have Beckett Lester that's the there's your answer Steve. You got Beckett Lester now between the two of them and I saw -- get a little fed up with with the I'm competent -- together that group of September people hanging out latch key. And decades. And Lester and and and colts and barred Iraq hanging out together and whatever happened September is still going on as our member and 2004. You know Texas was on the team they worry now adopt some -- -- that -- Detroit was terrible back then as a matter at all what happened 04 -- talks I got one guy and his team was on the team that's Dave Roberts any kind of play eight years ago.
