Only because this is a free form Friday. -- feel empowered to do this free for me you can do whatever you want you can talk about whatever you want a is that true judge at at an -- on what is certain limited -- anything was certain limitation like the big story in the world -- out and out simply -- talk -- just so long as we -- the rules yeah yeah. Right now are you under the rules what I wanted to do on this report Friday is is identified what we think is the most. Beaten to death. Tedious monotonous. Repetitive. Say it again and again from six to ten from tempted to attitude this six the six the midnight whatever the case may be. So you decide which -- the most he is and -- will beat it to death. Ferrell and compensation Iran to do while you do that element to the contrarian view and everything aria yeah. I think they should give up any thing for John -- Everything. They want play buckles you can have a problem plus Jon Lester and middle -- and we will throw -- will Mel -- -- that. Are two of the fair compensation story even has reached the point of tedium yet it's certainly will over the next week depending on how long -- drag this thing out. Ought to -- And HL works stop at all yet I I thank. I think they should go back to having they should bust the union go back they should pay the play for him. It lasts a pro -- game and forget about the game winners get a hundred looses it. And cheeseburgers float that by the union let's look -- buy them. Do you want to -- Mitchell worked look at backed up about this the this and those two fresh. The patriots defensive backs -- wake -- -- I don't. Think they showed real promise I do like that that. Turn their heads more than they did you know at the beginning of your idea to work in progress I think this is the weekday bus though. I I think you're being a little harsh get my chance. It's early we should assign somebody. To chart. How many past played on how many pass plays the pats DB's turn their head yes sack yes that should be -- that should reduce debt. Had to turn had 88 HT had earned. I just HT TH TR. And by the way I don't know why we expected them to play well. Ought to be effective against Seattle because that Russell Wilson man. It's quite as a -- he completed nine what passes last night majestic but he's pretty damn good and IP. He might be as bad as Mark Sanchez just not when he plays the patriot do you back to his. His normal self wants to get away from the it is these. Is the real -- DB wills with the QB controversy back on Seattle if you hadn't seen they. They beat the spread -- edit and we'll get to that. But Russell Wilson was what to expect going to be nine point three in pro Olympics and he ball and doesn't that indicate to you as we've taken -- series this year. The Mark Sanchez will be better the mark's engine add generally yes I guess so hot yes. When you face the patriots secondary that's what happen yes it. It -- good enough to beat. Nobody thinks that yes they do is on the contrary today via. I think Sanchez is good enough to BIV aids is a Smart enough and is good number by the way people like I can't I think -- -- use Tebow in new and creative ways. He's gonna come mountains east and run them. You know followed by a hook and go and in the statue of liberty I mean now in the latter idea hook and -- yeah. -- Belichick. -- to liberty and latter that you lived via he's been around the statue Libby Bakken land and it went on defense yeah. Joseph McKnight as a defensive back that's true with the two or three games ago I think he's in upon. He's gonna punt this week a real plus yes yes really -- upon. More tedious stories we can dwell on if you like. The dismantling. Of the former baseball icon. Formerly known as Iran. Although that use -- hit the ball twice yes he did actually put the ball in play not once but twice last bright but. It didn't Landis has the land appointment. As a as a that's the right for that's what you -- be contrary and so you think he's breaking out of it yeah how did you go put some good swings on the ball Red Sox should raise him. Iraq and Iran insists. He's going nowhere he's gonna stay in your which is silly but I think he's the only -- only person. You heard anyone else and I think he's gonna stay in new York and -- new York and come back and make it make a comeback in New York. All that matters is Hal Steinbrenner says he's not staying in New York her well all the matters we're Levine fund so perhaps take him. -- -- -- -- -- I planned to be here and -- planned to come back and and be productive for -- to -- for -- what we wind up with for a post season average John writers John Ryder -- today hey guys yeah what do you wanna hit. -- three for 23. I believe that what's that one illness -- eleven while -- nice even uneven night alone is an answer for the Yankees won eleven. I got a hit and run down the numbers almost laughed though it is canal. Three for forty that's the most amazing possible. You're suck if you like the worst that are average fuel in elect a rookie come up your lost in the lights in your Jose Iglesias. That's hard to do yeah this is one of the best players in baseball. And he went three for four. Finish the season strike two was terrible cruel -- that possible how could you how does that work was he. -- have a an issue off the field that we have a physical issue you can't be three for -- and how they run all the news 56. About it. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You have to be good enough to to stay in the line -- like most guys. Who go. Free for thirty. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- so good thought at some point you said we can't bench canal would be like pension you know draw from it you just don't do that. A factoid for you and this'll this'll curl your hair since 1956. And do the -- I think that's 56 years ago but you right. Since 1956. Which was 56 years ago the Brooklyn Dodgers for the last 56 years. Have held the record. For the worst post CD. -- post season batting average in the history of Major League Baseball. They were one to 95 and for 56 years nobody sucked more in the post season in the Brooklyn Dodgers won 95. Most of my friends until last night. The Yankees have -- it and -- that by seven percentage point if 188. Worst post season batting average in the history of the game. Texas' cut those off the Jews since September. And -- a strong finish strong and just. You turn the page and it's and it's gone he can't put his bat on the ball can't. Square up. In a line -- in Iran was bad kanell was worse. And if the Red Sox have won 85. Or so company that been like them the rays hung in there. Red Sox fans could -- this is really disgraceful with the Yankees did it is it looks like he Red Sox in September. But it you -- out it's not last September is not worse than what Boston did you can do not have. Nine wins and finished it lasted especially at the last September to set. You do not have you really don't know gloating rights it was as good as the you could possibly. Imagine if your -- and watch and and root for Detroit against your -- almost no it well there. Stars once stodgy just snaps -- ankle customers slob to shares losing ground balls in the lights. I mean it doesn't get better if you're Mikey Adams we all. You with -- last night yeah of course the guy he was gloating he has it been denied any single we'd. I mean he was on a natural high. Well it was probably both but it could have at it yet you watch the Yankees now make some crazy panic move up to this off Vincent side Josh Hamilton and Alex and that's a six year deal that is a great point is. They're in right out today the -- season's over. They're in worse shape than Red Sox it's hard to believe. But it's not even close with the contracts and ESPN just said the graphic of all the money -- all the guys. Let's just want you know he's just one guy. And Red Sox as we know thanks to magic Johnson and the Dodgers cleared a lot of money a lot of flexibility. Outlets they get -- -- that make the right but who would you rather be right now. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox really. An NA you know if they deal A-Rod may be they go up to David Ortiz do. That's a great you know what an awful lot of good points here get what you liked the first one that that it is now just about time for some illogical. Doomed to -- knee jerk reaction by the New York Yankees what Josh that's a great one Hamilton I don't think that's doomed to fail. I mean his -- which has just sit out here ideas guy before I was always say what if it's three years -- -- silly money like three years and eighty million Korver signs him the rest to be some sort -- and a deal. So the store closets and every believes a lot of well horrors so yeah I SO you know what that won't happen that would happen but they have crazy money so why is it crazy to spend crazy money. It's crazy money if you lock up a position. And -- goes nowhere and got nowhere to put on the way to put -- -- but if if Hamilton's three years and it's. You know eighty million what's the -- you guys think that's -- They need -- left fielder and a right fielder -- news. He -- basically all there seems so mentally. Fragile to me when he said he has sinned against god against man -- sinned against god he's talking about smokeless tobacco. And it gets him out of his game like he was -- Knoll or A-Rod last month and a half of the season and by the way he is president the owner. Nolan Ryan. Pulls his pants down its banks on talk radio in Texas when wind here that -- currently look you know. Not here and say you know Josh Beckett was a pain in the gas should've should've but -- wouldn't. Sure -- -- -- -- a lot to work out got puppets summing up now what could be said. Jon Lester is the reason. This team has -- Jon Lester inability to it is it is we're not spit the bit and be the ace of the staff. Is what is right and this team into the -- he'd ever say it essentially that's what Nolan Ryan said about -- Mean now you want them -- -- these guys he did what Steinberg and every other day you know called stars. I don't care whether they do and I really think that hurt my like Hamilton's Buick what is the people who know him the most that would be no right in the people the Texas Rangers organization. Very confident in his ability to keep on the street -- -- I love this like geez you know were in that he's like Iran now some Marty's like Coca. -- back some one of these losers -- to steal money. 43 and 128 and a tremendous player and -- forty middle three and 128. And it you know 31 years goal now is an old 31 probably -- and there's some miles on but again I think. If he has baggage he's got issues to price comes down maybe the years come maybe it is again three year deal. Do you think that's nuts if the New York are not three years you you you might think it but I guarantee you most Red Sox I guarantee you Red Sox -- as Red Sox front office. Get a little queasy if the Yankees sign him. And you know it might be -- in my. When he hit the four home runs. All forward center but I mean he's the EU put him -- right would be played right that's easy mean that would save his legs. I know in New York is a crazy place but you really think that this setting the CD -- what makes him yet ball the way yet. -- Purdue which he points out he only falls off the wagon in the offseason. He doesn't fall off the you know you've you've got to when it picked up smoke tobacco you've got to -- a little extra for the babies. No I really believe that -- did have to do with a chewing tobacco annoyed I totally that. I told me and I can understand I agree -- Nolan Ryan you know quit in Iraq is due to I don't know why you know problem. Problem no one run calling him out I don't want rubble without telling you that the people who want to. Back him up. The lines of communication open up the possibilities in the opportunities to deal with this guy at some level. That would be good for their finances would absolutely dump on him like they did it just it does that probably don't care what -- -- about anonymous just tell the truth and he's got a legitimate ever tells the truth about a player so let's -- let's give him a round of applause I think John's other comment might even be more germane to the discussion in the offseason. What if indeed the reds beat the Yankees -- A-Rod out of town. And now they needed DH that's a great David Ortiz while -- get to -- -- now we got a player -- somebody interested in me. And the threat of Dave Ortiz going to the New York Yankees drives his price -- yeah finally some leverage -- but I'm not sure. The rookies wants to wait if they're really talking now -- and from what I can tell the parameters are way way more than he is working on the open market a much Ortiz waits he's never been the patient kind he's never been a free agent right. So why would he wait if they come up with a number of -- meet his price the Red Sox adored them. 'cause the door because Nokia believes that he now has more leverage in the New York Yankees will be interested and are willing to pay him stupid money stupid money the Red Sox more. The answer this question is why he wouldn't he could but he won't cause the Red Sox will make him happy in the next couple weeks. When you agree -- right that the -- that you're the numbers. I taught us two years and like 25 yeah plus the recycling of 37 year old DJ two's still limping from the securely related -- talking about all over. Paying him. Big time again and you think. He should wait and see with the Yankees the Yankees are interested in that don't forget he wants to -- doesn't wanna go anywhere he's not a mercenaries not. Adrian Beltre he's not looking for it in the -- but he's eighty I think you go to new York. And ultimately out of spite and for money he would go. But if today is on the phone Jared and his agent and James is we have two years and when he. He doesn't care about the Yankees he doesn't care about Iran he says I'm on dental cited two meters 25 jumps on that. Which is insane. Which is no more than twice with the market when their feet hit the market but they love it there they just well. To be Smart he waits it out and it is not dead. Much on the free agent market amid -- Hamilton leaves Texas maybe there's even a possibility of their for Ortiz as well so I I think he should wait it out and I I can't I still can't imagine. The team will gauged and Alex Rodriguez well Miami. That owners -- -- strange Jeffrey lord is right this. It doesn't matter you can at least. You can't be interest that there publisher is plain stupid just you're a fool or. They're gonna pay all the salary and then more and then all the salary and the integrity he spelled all the salary and give you a player it's amazing but they're gonna have to play. I think 114 million. To get rid of -- they have to pay 114. Million just to get someone to take him. Somewhere Theo Epstein smile and then -- I was -- paid them that they read print radio and Lugo and look at it as a top all of that might be the worst contract -- in sports history might not -- -- and John. Call -- right when that game ended they are now exactly halfway. The -- -- contract five years down five years ago credible is a free for Friday everything's on the table one more tedious story we didn't discuss -- -- And so the story. Less tedious and the rest of them. Absolutely yeah because it's it's titillating do we how many updates. And on the UK mail. The young children we'll -- you can actually when the new names in the new names coming out next week -- Means on media people working the angles trying to get them there week from today and I can take other action right now. Have to -- you know why everybody's. Speculate -- -- him couldn't -- MD eighties the -- is on the way the contract attorney who came out to defend the hockey coach who are equipped yes makes great. Agree a relevant points this has been divorced for years single -- and I know we can't be leader of children at his place right now. Again feature some construction worker who just some guy insurance agent and and you single market and and you know -- -- like beat it just unlucky in love yeah. Randy Johnson. -- -- activity to say it Randy Johnson Randy Quaid the metro rail equipment really is seen in the is that really yeah. Mean we Josh Hamilton says it's what you got would you say -- and hire him to the pay my porch. He was with -- I think the I think the Bible from fornication but would you. Hire him to page reports would you buy an insurance policy mean if you knew -- From Alexis right. -- -- -- -- -- Idolized by people some are pointing fingers at somebody who has been exposed publicly for doing something wrong. People love to point fingers because it makes them feel better about their miserable and maybe they hated him. Before it might have been piled on yet if they didn't I. Mean they're guys unless my point is that ditch this shouldn't ruin their lives in August irregular activity. As the brother called hard -- I brought a free form Friday means.
