" Did I hear announcer boy it correctly that when Jerry I go on vacation at ten seconds after 10 this morning that. Meet Burrell moves into the big chair is that correct job couple days and it was actually actually now not tomorrow now. What he's going to do -- actually pretend he's going to command here you know -- some companions and -- and rehearsed play with but that asks I don't like it's like home now he was a kid sheets stroke -- yeah and three this happened and how did dachshund and the big chair in our -- leader. You made the decision to put me in the big today this is to ask you did James did the heavy hitters which chancellor and available ducks did this that. Since landed you can earn you a chance like this but -- title pizzas in the picture yeah that's rooms -- true leader tests. His flawless and this year awful this is -- Q but wrap me up this clause in his most recent contract but he just sign the you know and Jerry god I get a shot at the big chair an of one endless bull the most leaves me just. Right here. Your new contract new contract doesn't exist I'm -- different this and I you know just a -- about -- loggerheads over at loggerheads. Perez turn more and did a weight from my walk on the beach to reflect they're going to do before you get that yeah."

" I'll give -- simple matter and -- and all the etiquette and I hit it is what. This company Jason will -- doin' that waiting again Hazel Mae is now available. There are serious about -- iron has -- I don't know. The because they can't afford her and they know that each year this restraining order against you makes it impossible unless he's in a remote location is right she couldn't be within 500 feet but anyway they that's serious but. They're going to drop -- demeanor. Pick and we got hazel. -- room we know now we need to know and one of those will be -- one of those L yeah although we need to know now times it's a smart move since he diet change the smartest general manager in the MBA right now yeah he they want James Posey back that made enough for the James Posey. And that also made a phone call the Corey Maggette yeah according Maggette. It's a longshot he's much -- players score whoever's 22 points last year. But as we -- in the globe -- marks the story. The mating surprise phone call -- Corey Maggette -- interest that it's a lot less money he made last year lot less money than. The pesky Clippers are are offering but. But its chance to win via the cement the chance to win on the Boston and win you settle for a lot less but today. He get a ring you know maybe get a maybe signed one year deal so Danny de -- might the role of Jason -- Cassell called James Posey and say -- love to have you back pose -- I love you -- is ready to take this as Jason's oh. And if you're Posey you know you're really not -- league news and -- could it be real good could -- beat. My replace. Hazel Mae and fill in for -- flashes and Hazel Mae -- like -- she's a little bit of meters Lydia but totally yeah when he puts us in the ointment is that -- she it's jobs GM John and -- a real chemistry yeah I'll do it -- yeah loves -- he's one phone call -- it -- you know it's going to be like a late night and that's -- late night and Jason said. Wolf wolf free we're we need to talk yeah back from the yeah -- one of our blanket yeah."

" I'm new jobs thinkin' that you mean at forty grand era for me meter appears on bill watch here's what you though they're just about ready to pull the trigger they'll see you. Leave the building today and you sign this contract now and now via our approach -- come back in the back. Where -- hard start to work in your past cards that's right yeah it on the line I'm -- and waiting for months ago. And rather take a -- other couple that -- you and you didn't write that in the summertime I'm out we locked you a lot of them."

" I would I think. -- up if you guys would be if a great day."

" Almost -- Croatian dole tries to its -- that you can handle it. Don't think he's a morning -- up now I -- you know -- you do any the only part she couldn't probably getting she -- it will always be in my bank to see everybody can give up. It's Kitna five days and that right every week Monday's doable. Tuesday is -- whoever fills in next week we'll save this people violence in the same thing was okay your first day but the fact it was okay by Friday I was --"

" And -- I am the Olympics what should come as no surprise to anybody that -- last day before Terry like go on our little baked station. Utley or at least I -- I don't want to speak for Jerry I'm looking on the bright side of the positive approach if you will be glass that's half full philosophy. And that would be on two fronts number one. While many people who follow the Boston Red Sox are biting their nails and -- on their live in you know watching on the toilet this morning. I think what's happening in Tampa in the overall scheme of things the big picture outside the box spot. Good thing does what has happened in the first two games indicate. The the second half this baseball season is going to be interesting and competitive and yeah LA and nerve wracking and ultimately entertaining the idea of the idea of."

" Watson's fresh new team on the -- Tampa. -- look forward to its Yankee games but it's more -- it's all bark and each race climb up there's just such a different dynamic young guys coming up to the system and a bad team -- stockpile first round picks in. And brought them along and groomed them and now here they with a with a good manager and good Warren. And and and based its greatest. -- Red Sox and yes yes it's different the victim of the Red Sox and seasons that runs -- yeah. And here we and it's I thought the last two nights have been fascinating I mean obviously. It sucks and -- enjoyed them now. They've been great to watch report to watch it tonight now will be the twelfth time these two plate which is what six more after this yeah it is yeah. In the -- he won a game he kind of going to win every game but it's still fun to watch an endless."

" Area in which I'm looking on the bright side the positive approaches just think -- the way the job is getting easier in major moment. Just think what the deal. Can do in the off season. With thirty million dollars burning a hole in his pocket like about this this is going to be only a fascinating second half of the baseball season because of the raised its going to be a fascinating. Offseason because with a one million dollars he would pay and Manny and that ten million dollars or twelve or fourteen -- and Ameritech. What do you think the -- can do with thirty to 35 million dollars per year sitting in his pocket in the world of free agency is obviously."

" Anybody today and those things changed me changed by the end of the week does anyone today think it. -- tech is going to break the merit a hole or papers cause anyone today look at Manny Ramirez and that that as were twenty million you know. I mean he he's okay -- on the thirty homer hundred RBI pace to 83. I mean he's okay clubhouse guy. Cricket -- both guy good field. The basement good feeling like he still hit. It's still it but not like twenty million dollar -- to mean it under attack. That's not embellish park Saturday for the Jimmy Fund out of it -- it's amazing Varitek two weeks ago discussion was the -- of course you become of the woodwork to say I don't care we ever hits now we have. A great the example of him not -- on his literally mean do you still feel like. Catch it doesn't have it. Does that make any sense at all you know have -- never did similar on Google and at least people apologize that the logo with the eighteen via I've sent. I don't care you know that's not hurting every different."

" Go Sox defensively you gotta give net at least a ticket as that glowing form not to the Shepherd cliche routine here at the pitching staff and out -- it's at all. Lugo defensively versus heretic apparently cannot go to was left a beat I know I've ever seen him in the last year -- play like Bartlett played a Bartlett. Threw the ball away. He got to the ball right and it was something you've never seen Lugo do and that's supposed to be back at him in right supposed to behind -- the last time Lugo caught a ground ball. Even with or behind second one to an -- about just got to a ball and caught -- gets to them but he puts his club over the ball under his arm and you say. Down on our --"

" I think it's a mental block uncle lefty knows. Like he's -- and again it's sweet and it acts pretends he's Russia will also -- to play well I think it might catch this now I've got to throw. Let me on in my left -- supposed to be harder and he does that better but anyway he's a lost cause and I wonder you may have seen outscored. You certain times he's here he's. Maybe get a -- it's not a great option right he's not worse than Lugo was not better -- to -- maybe he's a better fielder maybe submitted I think he's just the devote even -- your injury when you have a lottery -- July is a much better player than Lugo but -- he's not made the mean the this is so certain. That Joe Madden doesn't have to deal with these stupid big. Onerous contracts that you general managers sign players to and you have to play it absolutely -- a right out of the -- needs. Budget language shortstop and you have no debate you just play the better player but you can't play the better player in return Francona -- that. The lesser player makes too much money and that's probably have a few of the Red Sox. Your general manager made some mistakes and you have to live with the now. With their attack and and Manny -- gentlemen just probably not going to make the mistake of things continuously -- right now right. We've been going to be eating this August September. Now you're surprised the question I absolutely not is the question I have -- we always look at guys in swamps and probably just the slopes and probably bust out the -- probably beats and tomorrow. O meter and Larry Craig exit meant the most and boy those guys are back in the big -- but but. Why do we ever only Nebraska 36 year old is done in those done like timlin. Tim he's done so I think he has but it is an unfair question it's it's just -- this."

" Well points -- would you if you look at historical and they -- was was Damon Doug maybe not pretty close with Pedro Martinez dot maybe not -- pretty close. Isn't their tech further down that highway the one of those guys."

" Six year old guy who has caught as many games he's -- all right worked as hard as he's worked off the field on the field spring training offseason -- eventually that Fred wears off that I difference between him and decide dishonest."

" We're used to play first racing to DH or just just told -- you begin. That better -- yeah what player don't re sign him to a long term contract what is -- going to do in the eighth in the ninth inning when he needs to pinch hitter honestly -- with stops -- just. On have you -- holly has really mil good second silenced."

" Now we don't mean every one will that I don't understand that all watch them going. Is eight is it. More likely that he gets hit or cash -- in him at the bottom list I mean he's not going to get in that situation. -- is this get a guy out of a slump yeah minute tough pitch inning position right on his day off. Make them make any sense honestly end of the game it is a ball off Cora gets a hit this and this is -- this is cruel if you're Francona if you -- he -- Alex just make enough so we don't have to watch this. Again and they put it goes up there with the game on the line against the game and popular it is second only to Hollywood and operatives and -- gorgeous at this is not fair it's just not there was all higher than his chin but he swung at it didn't matter it could have been right on the middle could have been an advocate Hideki Okajima batting practice all. He's in a funk."

" The worst -- of his career 122 hitless in his last thirteen at bats. And three for 34 in his last fourteen game now you expanded to do you know fourteen for his last 11. That is epic is that it was perfectly well about the catchers in June. Cash and Arctic 124100 -- do you smell like beer belly that pits and went and wanted that 1124100 yeah. Tell me again you don't care if he catches it doesn't matter if he catches it mean. I can Nike and says the I know you know tomorrow. I mean -- they care that the catcher hits but this as a as surprising in my estimation as as -- the pinch hitting move 'cause it was bizarre and minus oh era for economy."

" Some some questionable moves. But 'cause he's loyal to players he loves players she's a player's manager Ernie the first players in every just about every juncture. And works racing group terrific manager. Who succeeds. As a player's manager mean defines the term player's manager. -- manager Red Sox history how does what a couple of written and Gary do on this Jerry how happy doing this how does this make any sense at all if you're -- Pitches for Kevin Cash Hugo which on Casey I don't care what armed the pitcher throws yeah. It makes. I mean how we just looked that up and in the last three years Sean Casey against lefties it is 326. Jason Varitek to seventy correctness the Kevin Cash this year against lefties pretty 53 against version numbers. Yes also the go we'd go with a lefty in the OJ DL that Casey's already announced -- Casey's out of the game. Because he's -- as he's announced. And they -- lefties and you go to Ameritech's Casey's in the box -- zero zero doesn't he's in the game but doesn't get an -- that he's so. Which is why couldn't package -- Arctic in the ninth. But the case he's out and you decide rather than let Casey's already like at the bat warming up let him hit against left you bring on Jason Varitek and far and away your worst and worst in any of your pitches just point -- at this battle -- right career wise different deal right now no one has less of a chance of putting. A bat on the ball make excellent contact -- now someone explain to me what the manager respect does."

" Anybody believe what. Very -- what Tito did to bear out that way what Tito did Ameritech last night helps him anyway -- for another great course down on what how do you think that helped -- jail offenses just take the day --"

" It's a question what's going to better text says he's happy to see him it's EC's Casey get announced he sees a lefty command and he looks on the bench uses crisp isn't here. Cash has already been in the game and I'm the guy and then he looks commences that's. And he's he has to be taken no please just give me human yeah I am not going to hit the ball. It is one of the many would refuse that that's a good point probably -- refused refused to let Casey. Who cares -- singles hitter he's a good god back at you as a left edited and it's unbelievable to me that you think that you can ask. Your best move in that position is your worst hitter. And I guess still talk to him today all Lee and whoever will -- group today and I look forward to a but -- in the game."

" And they'll send -- he will always say -- like my chances with Varitek from the right side against the hard throwing left and that's it. Maybe the hospitals say have been watching June nobody -- he's probably taken the reverse on us right at the numbers the Jerry Jones sure zionism carried has -- an eight. This decision. I've ever seen -- get -- go with a guy who elect a lefty against lefty and remember members and with very lefty Noah can remember it even though the pitches I don't think he thinks lefties can have a way to thank vocal for a little these problems to him not pointed down there one player short right. The Coca would have yeah via -- choice because Coco. Had a rushed the -- and a vocal advocate and a bad ass last word."

" Right yet it's it's a macho thing but -- look forward to the explanation I don't know will be. I don't think it was the right thing for the team I don't think it was right thing for the for the player. The player who slop and it was announced that. It is so easy they needed six pitches in his two strike was at 661 half more. Were all just weren't right yeah it's just like is I don't know looking at the same admittance at a bad angle we get to see that AB angle."

" Dog or so said when he came up in the ninth inning. With two outs and court's second base -- he said. Wouldn't this be just an amazing place for him to break out of a slump three even he was liked trolling for some sort of -- or tidbit that might somehow some way. Make this seem like a good move."

" It happens in Little League -- where you see the into the game and execute -- the Vikings released yesterday he had yesterday. Just and -- that the Israel put him through details on in the new teams bring in the best pitchers of the into the game sometimes -- and you and you say. You have to have his kidney it was a -- ends the game with a strike yeah and that's his last memory writing this week vomit it's uncomfortable he just got to end it you think it Cora. He can hit the ball you want to hear that someone don't make -- they go through this again that's what the manager chose. In the previous -- chill most of Ameritech up there. It's strange you mean. If you're saying if you throw the game just say we want to help the player it is when -- it's a bad move."
