Like sands through our yeah. So are the days of our Red Sox. Hello this is these -- And they use. No lumpy shepherded these are the days of our Red Sox are on Sports Radio. WBU hello everybody. It's preacher or if you want a Sunday afternoon. Middleman I'll be here until a 750 -- couple months ago quickly six point 7779. Story trip he -- 3888525. It's -- -- and -- about got a great show lined up you because this is all about you guys today. I am I wanna hear from reporters I mean except we don't stories breaking call Crawford this I hope we speak to the media -- -- -- can't wait for this. And we'll have that sound for you as soon as we get an oil spear from WB Idec Thomas down there but. Let's recap today's drama. No I went through yesterday we had about five or six issues to one yesterday before the game its argument it was a nice win by Lester Red Sox in Australia. And I'm Tanya I need I need my student being days of our Red Sox have music so today's chapter is that if we can we come on -- people that -- -- -- We can we do is get a loop without McDonnell carried agreed to late great McDonnell carried his voice like it was an actor amateur was well and it wasn't much soap operas but. Apparently this is what it's come two days of our Red Sox in today's chapter ladies and gentlemen. -- -- -- Now most of you know the story by now the New York Daily News reported that Kelly Shoppach was was the author of the text message sent to the Sox -- from the for the greater Gonzales. You know the the story. Other -- pace of the Yahoo! Sports talked about earlier this week you said the players were set from the July 22 meeting when Lester a 22 game against Toronto Lester gave up eleven runs. And and and had a meeting of previous -- New York. Might the thing that. This is really a story because who cares who sent the text message doesn't really matter. Who sent the text message war. What -- it was used on there have been so. My question is -- a much now that was the about the subway and all I can think of was that'll stupid song who let the dogs out who so I'll go today -- -- let -- Who sent the text out who. Who who saw some come up with a song I don't know probably got a really great about the you have Altec all the technology in your home with different. Yeah. Who sent the text out who stick that -- -- out who. Shut it out bullets at the text out won't. But I wanna know. Really it doesn't really matter that really matter who sent the text out. Who sent the text out. -- really sure I don't really care because -- I don't think it matters to most rant that was set out the -- apartment advocates say that were involved is that you know epic. Nobody believes them anymore nobody believes in keeping the players say nobody believed to ownership says. So we got that. And instill in on the main issue is still with its Carl Crawford situation going on and that doctor James Andrews agreed orthopedist told them back in April that he needs to meet Tommy John surgery. And -- just appears to be that Carl Crawford. I don't know copies of rage or -- lot I mean I don't you know you hear what he says he doesn't east too concerned about what people think commitment. I I think most of us believe right now and -- and I said this about four weeks ago. He should get don't get the surgery it's gotta take what we're every believer to be between six and nine month for his recovery -- goes and gets it right now. Help may be only missed a little bit of April next year maybe. Maybe I don't know what the Red Sox are doing why -- even -- in a row with this kind of stop when doctor James Andrew says to go get. To go get Tommy John surgery you go and get it. This is a lost season are not going anywhere I don't understand what they are waiting for this talk proper situation -- that puts him in the makes them look bad again. And then -- and with a slippery -- You know did -- were certainly were reports early on that he -- that Sheraton Valentine a -- Crawford that that is not a the that was necessarily required. Which is I don't understand that of doctor James. Andrews -- the most renowned orthopedist in the world. Usually other athletes but I brought about he says don't get Tommy John surgery that don't get it absolutely don't get. So I don't know what they're waiting for because the longer they wait that means the -- that he's doctor be available for the beginning of the regular season next year. NN I need them. Also depends on develop a culture has indeed changed or open gonna get a whole bunch of more a half truths and lies. But -- -- -- -- the conclusion last night driver and chrome that the Red Sox there's no way Bobby Valentine can come back next year and what they're going to have to do. Is to somehow some way come up with a very creative plan and it's been done before trade players. Or whatever it takes to get John -- here next year they're gonna have to do it that's that's that's. Tampering Bobby be back. You've got to get somebody who's gonna command some type of respect in that clubhouse. I think John probably the guy. And it has to be and I hope John Ferrero if indeed they do pull it off and get him here I'm sure he's not gonna come here and deal with this garbage. With ownership stepping in and pull back on the range every single time the players don't get their way it is going to be John Farrell's way. Or the highway that's the way it should be. So hope we gotta be the case. Open over the case that that's really the only real logical solution like NC I noticed I brought this up a -- earlier this week -- -- big show. I I suppose possibly. If the angels don't make the playoffs and fire Mike Sosa my social not to be a big yep that's the begat anyway and if they don't make it. On May be is available on the Red Sox maybe go after him. But other than that I don't see any other solution here to Uga can't beat you just can't bring. Bobby -- back next are you just can't that we all notes most of us know or believe that he's responsible for very little he's quirky off the wall he's Cokie. All of Mexico. I'm just trying to come up with topic but there really Red Sox ownership has to step it up here and it's still. Really infuriates me every time at the earlier in the week before they even did it I said the next step everybody get ready to blame the media. And elegant they blame the media which is that that's just to freaking joke and not just as a part of the media to it's able to -- wasn't I would say it's -- Why isn't responsible for all the leaks somebody and that Red Sox organization wants all these stories out. Somebody nobody's getting tortured you reveal this information so -- -- now with the media once again blaming the messenger and what is more infuriating to me. At that they blame you guys. The people that call -- talk radio stations. You know they don't understand that you guys are responsible you have the hard core fans not the stories that Larry Lucchino brought up a with Dennis and Callahan. Allow early -- late last week about that lady from from Colorado and they -- and well she misses the Red Sox and what -- with the boys from. And then -- -- That's not real fans do with -- Well now. The prices. The prices I'm sorry. Not a 191 million dollar payroll advocates advocates a 191 million this -- -- -- -- say that it's been anywhere between a 17891. Million this year. Depending on. What weakness on either way it's a lot of money. Obviously. It's just a pure Red Sox for -- I don't know how you cannot be absolutely outraged about how you have been treated. And these guys are speaking for you and our radio Booth and on television. Basically saying the -- the people that call -- Sports Radio stations in the public call into you know the Comcast show on Saturdays. You know. Don't don't listen to them don't -- that we mean more like we need more people like this a big -- lady in Colorado apparently. That is going to be with him through thick and then it does have blinders on all the time. It is the first time -- social group is that a growth through this this late in the season. And they got nobody else left they have nowhere else to blame the camp played the wanting more this go try do. Cubic sampling Francona anymore. Because they'll talk about some of the contract appeal after the Swiss who left the Red Sox with certainly that's that's an issue. But really overall. -- the drama that is now you know as they called the days of our Red Sox every single day. There'll leaks coming out of that clubhouse are still miscommunication this Crawford story out of I mean. Don't I person Michael Crawford does -- wanna back. Next year healthy and ready to go right from the get go in April why the Red Sox wasting time with this stuff by just. Letting them that is done he's done pretty well -- nobody's done pretty well but you know the back of his mind every time he throws the ball in. That it's gonna be on his mind it's something terrible could happen. Don't get the surgery now and get healthy and get ready for next April hopefully. I I don't understand what you with the weather even a little debate about this event been charged in spending to stop -- -- -- It's not about where the Red Sox are the standings it's about Carl Crawford. At his best Leo boy to the book talk Roberts about where they are in the standings. You know I I would -- hope that would be the case you would hope that would be the case. Because eight games back still standing 87 games back respectively than not when they win game -- not gaining ground told it's a long time ago -- teams to jump over buddies went through when they went urban Yeltsin went. After a jump over five teams. Why are they wasting time witness. If it's not about. Where they are understandings. Of what the hell bent charity and and Larry Lucchino and Tom Warner and John -- what Al are you waiting for. Your sixth place your sixth place in the wild -- -- -- of five teams 98 back in the loss column. What are you waiting for call proffered. A fifteen out of nineteen you know fifteen to four down the stretch here a little bit c'mon. It's insulting it's insulting to Red Sox Nation it's insulting to the media. The way they did they -- -- at this point the finger. That was that was that was a that was humiliating I thought what they did Thursday night sitting in a rug brought a lot of what the numbers show up all of a sudden all three show up. And though the -- I mean and -- -- are just you win the game. When -- but they did they go on up toward the radio book and go on a tour of the television Booth and wanna blame everybody and everything starts with a resume. All over the last ten years we've been -- the last ten years -- did. It's unbelievable. That just they can't just address the issue and they still continue to treat everybody like we are idiots. It's -- period -- purity. Our quick break a few guys relied upshot -- -- 617779085888525. -- -- certainly iBook and believe me. People wanna call up and talk about the patriots -- -- it looks like Sebastien Obama gonna be taken off the yeah the pup list. That's good to get ready -- Eagles tomorrow night and Foxboro so -- wanna call and talk about the patriots I am more. Happy to talk about it -- again you know these stupid ridiculous debate that that puts it into what Danny. Now about Brady's best years behind him I mean any any intelligent football -- will tell you there really. Hasn't been any evidence of that team won the MVP unanimously 2010. Probably get at a phenomenal season last year one of his best seasons ever to support snipper out of -- of Rodgers -- -- -- was just a little bit better. Gets you know complete and -- we dropped the Super Bowl it out and a -- to cost of the game. Eli had a great testament we -- we are -- -- and and it's it's so stupid -- it's going to be they'll have a very highly competitive football team this year. As we expect I had on it and I think the problem went up plus games and I don't think anybody should expect anything. And sixteen and all from any team at any time that it's unheard of it's it's a it's it's happened twice in the history of the league. So. It -- with sixty games and bring lawsuits only happen once for the patriots and 07. I mean can't just say they're gonna be a highly competitive team just leave it that are also text me at 85858.
