Opening Segment 7/1

" It or read about Algeria pats defensive back Willie Andrews which as he played for the Red Sox and up the Patriots do you know that little gun incidents that little thing where he held the gotten to close friends things happen those things how. Happen and they happen will handle -- family moves and I are only found --"

" One ball course and I don't know was that it is. Those things happen at well weapon when when do those things happened when has this happened before when there's another player. Shelved a 66 year old man in the ground which is tests so outrageous and witness another player. Soccer slapped teammate in the days ago when I mean I know these things happen shortly do you have you -- all in out of answers supposed to be in 1977 and mark Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson. Oh -- it is it seems like yesterday. Let's face it. -- I just don't think it happens often as they would like -- to believe and I don't think. I don't think this thing use use can be brushed away as easily as something because I."

" try very hard to do it very hard to do he's handled internally by the way. This is a gutless that I wish I could disagree with -- it is so it is a gutless move by by a for from the top down and out like to know. How the chain of command and how the communication all went either today turning in his US attorney and many loses you. He's in trouble. Evaluate everything individually no you'd you'd be you have been apologizing for many like five year. It's up at the only high fives some guy out -- ask. I don't hear one person criticize that take a leak in the in the in the wall and comes out just in time -- it."

" Only nobody I mean you defend him all true. Because it's that it -- entertaining well I guess we could see them throw little man of the ground that you might find and it. Here's the problem -- has here it's we all know 66 guys will know. Guys like Jack -- just gregarious. -- friendly helpful ironically many suggested earlier this job personable sixty coaches guys who. You like it can't help but like and Manny the bull. It took is putters and businessmen mean everyone understands. Hands -- those books but putting your hands on them and thirty years old -- it is it's completely unjustifiable there's no way to justify it. And we had a few idiots who called yesterday a couple of emails I think. The more people body route to more people analyze that the more they realize this is completely unacceptable and it's obvious. It's generally acceptable tennis soccer slapped new team in the dugout and he did that and it's okay. He's done well and so he does a lot of unacceptable things and they are accepted by the Red Sox. The team eight team has enabled this for six years now I mean how many years eight years now yeah. Eight years now the enabling him in everyone is okay with that I think this cross -- mythic. It's one of those things you know put your hands on the man thirty years old -- particular man who did nothing wrong did nothing but his job."

" Here's the gutless aspect of what's happening there and I'd like to know whether John Henry. Got a phone call with a Larry Lucchino got involved if the only road to the level of field who's not in Tampa St. Pete. Or for was handled right at that at Tito's level of what no higher than that accurately that's the case. This is an organization that tries very hard to do the right thing. They do the right thing with the Jimmy Fund that do the right thing with the veterans they they are very concerned about their public image. And right of it's not just going to the motions and that's not fair actually reaching out and doing things that that that make them good citizens of this land. When did they do the right thing when it's unpopular when has that program. Well it was yesterday it was yesterday and my guess is just not going to be today and talking to the day after that the way if if public. -- you know pressure rises and and Royals up. And makes them say what we got a suspended for a game. Won't that be just obviously at eight if he's -- action at to a public relations full pot. And they will suspend him just because they asked us especially here's -- because they want to suspend all while you reliable."

" Kick in the did the Sox over this thing and as well we should. He is what they did is what they have done the same thing we did they we just assumed yesterday. That the same people the same the usual suspects would come out defense of Manny. And Red Sox Nation would again. Cover for him enabled him defend him. In the face of this the way they always do when Manny screws up many special. Many as a sense of entitlement meaning his it has been an able like no player I've ever seen. But this is different I was surprised the solo poll that the program and his show up blogger Sean Green that a poll was. Should mainly be suspended I think the question. And it was 7525 yes and -- 75 -- on tonight's that -- and and all the mid point on his show after us that. He was surprised that tide was turning. And it was I think initially people says -- many laws that Manny bash in the and they stopped by about read about it heard about it says that a second. His -- 66 year old -- former Boston cop who works tirelessly. At that the service of these guys. Couldn't get him sixteen tickets in an instant so we've proved to the ground yeah that's basically it right."

" Another way there's a premeditated aspect of this this wasn't just one of those if elected in many. Heat of the moment type deals where something's said something's said back. You know sort of like you close thrown a helmet and he backed him some shots into the steps in the dugout you know back on June 5. There was a premed and aspect of this because. -- a rational confrontation happened that I before we learned today I was unaware this right they had a discussion the night before many said needs sixteen tickets Jack get it done. -- about Camille Little tough the next day he was back in and day and it and it escalates Jack McCormick to his credit. Sort of he refuses went you know he set it escalated on. As part well well again it escalated on his part he said something about me not doing my job."

" Of course not escalate and -- this is -- job to put a cramp yeah lowered to two. Healed the mental -- his nose and yes -- yes yes it's a tough job we always look at you do you know say. Whose face I don't you do the you have to put up. With these prima Donna's some of them with good intentions -- they used to be -- on the used to being served ritual. I'm in -- like of the royal family the girl up. With people waiting on the and that what it's to be expected. It's the way it works in some great tempers them a lot of them probably object and appreciate. What he does but they know his job is to wait on them. And it put yeah travel arrangements tickets another thing and I don't know Michael -- but only all in or an off the year at the break. -- A lot of stuff he -- He does in secret you know -- careers you know and ala a girl you know -- septic. That kind of thing -- which is often times the secrets that -- which do. The daily gain you know I admit these people aren't brought via that -- and -- could cook a -- and that's you're impress people that you just -- it's some tickets yeah -- seats maybe you can meet some players after the game but your family. -- made the plans well in advance."

" Right eight years do you think Jack McCormick didn't come through for Manny how many times you don't I probably only need -- fingers on one hand to count -- one and yeah yeah. An -- and it might be zero. How many times have -- many say Jack that's just what -- saying I need this any that do this do that -- that some friends."

" Yeah well could you give them some good seats up and he probably -- up and this time and the game was sold more penciled this time he has for sixteen -- Two for a friend and her girlfriend yeah nothing like that it happens right. It happens that's it works inject it gets -- and he gets things out and it's not enough not enough that did he was waiting on his master. Many reminders into quicken -- didn't do it well enough in this case."

" Starting Friday night and actually Saturday once he threw him to the ground the Red Sox organization had the opportunity. To do the right thing to do the easy thing or to do nothing now Mike -- is the answer was going to be see. Do nothing until -- McCadam exposed what happened in the club house he has for the public to state so now -- trying to get along to get along and do something that appears like -- the right thing but we're really -- what is discussed -- it's an internal matter this organization that brings kids out of the ballpark that they do you know reading is fundamental type of things they they they do all these kinds of things to send the right message. To the -- Red Sox Nation that this is how you should be in this how you should be a good citizen and a good this and a good that. And now the time comes for them to actually choose right verses wrong and say what you did Manny was unacceptable. I it comes less than a month after you slapped back handed one of your teammates in the dugout. We're not going to put up with -- no honestly believe that there's going to be some sort of internal discipline that's going to. Each made any outlast them again -- you're embarrassing line bill do that again internal discipline when he blew off the trip to the hospital note that -- you didn't minimum you know I did not you've turned a man and it's restaurant it -- you would like everyone else on the station. Was was roll over for me you don't have to go to does what you're going to -- blow pop overs. Right not to go as if -- manages the secret and doing yoga five."

" was turned into a political thing visiting wounded soldiers was a political thing and if you hate bush. Then you're not supposed to go visit the soldiers and if you like that's a show of support that was respectable by the way I'm glad that I would go through that. Without to which bloodshed year. In -- you know it out -- honest to god he can do anything and some people will roll over for him right is the problem is the problem. The reds and I heard that I heard this on the station as well. If -- were Theo Epstein. Terry Francona. John Henry Lucchino different deal right -- in trouble yeah if the rose to the ground say the principal owner of the GM different deal. So in other words we got a cast system here that Jack McCormack former Boston Police officer all around terrific guy to the good guy good citizen."

" He doesn't count is now and John now Larry Lucchino he's he's on he's one of the little the -- and and we says all the time do you base where did you define character. Character is -- treat the media people who cannot you and nobody is watching that at some definition that was that. And -- and I meters and mile velocity as he once you settle them to the right thing when no one's watching. That applies but the -- apply yes you treat the little people the people who cannot do anything point. Help you get ahead -- just little people the woman who clean the bathroom -- A mainland to me yeah -- you know or about me. I don't define care that two ways do you on the right thing when no one's watching and three little people well treat them right even strike you -- straight one goal case. Talk about maybe you're tired of the organization organization does not value. Jack McCormack hard working 66 year old man as much as they would I don't know Theo Epstein. Could he do this to gentler I don't think so now could go to. Did Tito the Brad Mills could get away with that now but he could do -- to it traveling secretary units. All those things have and we're family and family now stand by my prediction so what's going to happen you said gutless I say these organizations there was no character. In this example and they usually do you right they usually do the right thing in this case they drop the ball but he did the wrong thing."

" Got a clear message not being sent to -- young people or anybody for that matter to see how things should be -- you know I mean if you're a baseball player and you love the Red Sox and your dad or your mom your -- to a Red Sox -- to three or four times a year and -- adore this team and you would doorman. And use it to read you hear the details of the stuff you say. This is what happens deflected it -- right. Market and right I can do I want I can do whatever I'll apps or whatever what and so here's what's going to happen down the road. They're going to for the next decade and a half maybe two days. Try to defuse this and say we handle this internally we are not going to disgusted but clinic about it's about the -- you fine man and make him contribute to a charity. So they are trying to you know a closed the barn door once the horse has left so -- for the sake of the discussion. Thank they're going to -- sounds like a lot of money. Just -- can't tell all 500 bucks now. Now thousand dollar fifty -- out out what this document if I. -- that the first of mine who pitched well they -- can't hand. Owls and dollars and 10000 men he's going to give 10000 dollars to the Jimmy Fund with a school that he -- donated the Clark to whatever the case may be bought uniforms for the go well Washington -- a baseball team but he promised ten years ago it still -- a fine -- you find this out in a day or 210000 dollars it is this wealthy. There was a price to pay for shoving 66 year old Jack McCormick -- It cost Manny 10000 dollars what. He's making twenty million dollars a year it did make and twenty million a year and they find him to Ingram that would be the equivalent. Of somebody making 50000 dollars a year. Being by 25 dollars. -- bleak but parking ticket. If -- make it fifty grand a year the equivalent is 25 box. To -- to Ingram so is this going to kill -- on a Manny -- money and I know it's going to be symbolic. But Manny gets off Scot free and the -- I don't think they can they look like to do in the --"

" I can't Bynum 10000 of the union gets involved they will grieve it Manny will fight it if I mean you would think Manny thinks he does anything he can do any wrong. He -- condition he thinks he can do no wrong he doesn't think it's a big deal he injected friends again the only apartments and aprons. I don't know where that ranks on -- transgressions and god knows. He's had many in his eight years here but it's pretty close to the top and I think it it hits home a lot of people they know just how wrong it is to get frustrated with your. 66 year old friend -- thirty years old and -- all in all it you know mess of me I'll throw you the ground -- I'll I'll I'll. -- lay my hands on new and that is crossing a line in anybody's mind the biggest Manny stooge there. Knows that his hero has crossed the line in this case and they did nothing. They did nothing the organization did nothing and the reason they did nothing as can many special. And Jack McCormack doesn't count as much as they Ed wade."

" Right in Houston's -- analogy yesterday on the radio station after 2 o'clock. Someone -- high school baseball player that's a good question did this -- was cultured did this to an assistant coach is gone it's actually not much I hurt I hurt one blustery post -- he should be -- should -- you can't even begin to compare -- high school -- What do and punishment should be to professional athlete saying that was. Appropriates high school kids should be expelled but Manny should be not actually argue that -- Like at third opposite and other -- thirty year old husband and father right."

" With a hundreds of millions of dollars in and a lot of experience here should have some knowledge should have some wisdom. He can -- he put his arms on the it was hands on the guy but it can't I was sick of the -- what level. -- other person could get away with this in what other sport at -- level. I mean to each Italy thoughts and in some work places you are a rest yes put this. You some states over sixty is -- Baker's they -- to protect the same is true elder abuse Jack -- and let you know -- must -- He masses model must just one flight back that's another -- Red Sox organization. You know allowed to -- in her hands down because he counts more than you do your Justin. In significant that match. There to serve Mandy in Manny isn't happy with you -- and he's allowed to throw into the ground. Mean it is the worst lesson you can teach who have kids -- whatever your answer customers'. The Red Sox. In in in private did the -- thing in public did the wrong thing showed no player showed no guts. I mean just I can't believe the guys that. We know that Larry John Henry Tom -- seal these guys signed off on this I hope -- make them sick when they agreed to let Manny walked yet again. -- hope that opened made them uncomfortable because -- shoot."
