Curt Schilling

" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan the morning after a little champagne headaches for all I suppose but they won't be getting on the plane headed for a Anaheim. Joining us on the -- lines Curt Schilling good morning current how are -- I can only imagine picturing you. Sitting on your lazy boy watching these last two games and it would be I think an odd situation at best as as best you can't hurt you described. How -- engaged you feel with what UC going on at Fenway Park -- your former teammates."

" I'd almost think it's. Word I'd use and they've obviously there's this there. If -- but I would probably the first day first time for its first event where. I have. The game pregame goosebumps plate adrenaline. You know just that whole. -- we're -- give the ball for the game feel and it was -- to -- on the."

" Any desire to. Get dressed and sit in the dugout."

" Did not arts I can't. A but Michael's been a part of this team entire year in and everything up and situation. Mean in and really. I feel I'm disappointed that I did not get the opportunity experience I had to to -- and they like about it. A lot of -- this policy with the in the number or natural position you know or whatever. -- might have a chances at this point it is way we see it happen it was just important qualities would it."

" Can you share this one thing that surprised you by each of these teams in this playoff series curt. --"

" I think that the biggest surprise it was the domination. At the bit I'm surprised -- the how resoundingly get elected the Sox won the series yeah I was close games -- W to -- in the state it. They didn't just like at a private time but he. We got a chance you know -- For accurately obvious is they didn't they they keep this this team at this very different team in the very deep organization. And it's funny to hear people. Still afraid or timid or reluctant to turn the corner at turn the page on the old Red Sox. Different franchise now and I ate -- I expected that you know that one -- into a cup there's music in in baseball my opinion. And -- which -- what are what's when the Angels have right in India last and that's not to belittle it but it but -- proper game of baseball and and you know everybody had Anaheim mr. -- have with heavy favorite a lot of people that. And I I'll pick it up people all the way you know five wins separate them and two incredibly. Different schedules and divisions. And I thought that -- I still feel that some respect approve the -- starts artist -- the --"

" And a much weaker lineup and from the Angels in the Red Sox -- incapable of runs together rally together. You think we overrated them because of the eight of nine that they took from the Red Sox."

" First off I don't know that I would call their offense underrated as much as I would credit the pitching -- the preparation. And -- execution of these for the Red Sox I mean you know just bluster. Doesn't -- each other things did what he wasn't apparent don't 84 and flippant every sport I -- expect a mile an hour and dominating. I don't really care what lineup was going out there a -- I don't -- it would it would have had different results. I don't think Eagles are as bad as people perceive them debate that they did -- I think the Red Sox just will be a better when it's --"

" I think you could say the -- Lackey Lackey pitched well. He didn't get bored so I I think it may be you consider this when you watch a game I think we failed to consider the effect. Post season has on guys we see we don't we see. What October does the guys we see it in every series so when apple with the Cubs will did you could almost. Watch it. The with the pressure in that series and and -- the way it affected the Cubs it affected some of these Angel hitters and fielders by the way they were boot the ball around pretty good too."

" Well you could be night to think that it doesn't. Motivate push and accelerate some people's progress and retard pulled back -- squeeze other people's it has an effect both ways on different people. Again you know John Lackey pitched well -- the post season is not about pitching well it'd never has been about pitching great beat -- beat. He optimistic about it -- up but it you have to be literally perfect. In the post season to be dominant to be consistent to be considered -- a clutch performer and you know. I'd argue that didn't want it to myself -- make a real strong case to be in every bit the the October -- it just is because."

" Can you talk about the dynamic out of all of you heard the sound -- from Jon Lester but there was a lot of questions first thing in the morning what did Terry. And and Jon Lester had this to say. Essentially said he came out just."

" They're -- bad team got the last out seventh and I thought -- I figured I was done. And when it came off the field you know John Farrell asked me if I thought of done that tested yes not think anything about it he said -- you're done."

" Not terrible and on to expand upon that and -- I thought it was in the back up for the eight. But based on his body language and based on what he told -- I didn't want to try to ramp it up yet again that dynamic of how that works for the pitcher who looked strong and Jon Lester did for seven innings says yeah I think I'm done."

" There's a couple decent citizen and you need to kind of wade through them that I think we get the full picture first off I can promise you. That. Bit -- problems earlier beat the questions that might come about. What hearing a response. Character wise are nonexistent for this guy that. That result and the reason that happen and I knew exactly. What's happening. That is a byproduct of a couple things number one big game today but number two the way the organization brings its pitchers opened moderately. We didn't spend your entire career auto pitch limit and be removed after the seventh inning of every game no matter what for the most part. You start to develop a mentality of after the seventh inning you know okay are right now I'd -- disparity. -- you get to a point where you just don't debate don't if it's pointless people argue it's not going to work it's a medal you start check out. The last thing you want to do as a coach or pitching coach or team has percent to got back out there it was already checked himself out. Then when you have an in this organization has been very clear about that. Look at the amount a complete games of improper in this stop over the last 34 fighters it's not something this team does he get it through seven will get the -- guy out there and it will bring him out. And -- development albeit as a pitching staff. That's seven inning literally into the game review and outlook and I'm not -- guys who operable or hope to seven. It's a way to sort of basis training its young pitchers in the the most -- game it."

" But it's -- it's different in I don't know in the process I think in a ticket everybody flips that switch and told."

" You're one goal -- well no because you can't. Imagine I mean think about this cute I spent the entire year can take -- percent of what I got 97 or hotter floor. And also traditionally particularly in the in October that'll work that way it -- spot but we can't. Yeah you can eat some guys can look to switch on opposite of -- switch because. You know. Tonight I I think I'm come off the mound and the only upper that they don't upper cuts on it try to figure out like game but. Terry and I spent a very different type person at the game it's different now they do not do that because. For the most part across the that the the board in the big leagues that it shocked if luck at -- against -- This -- but it doesn't their final game. Is it 93 pitches like I I couldn't believe. Given that -- a tight game now we've Beckham played W corset if became -- gone 1213 or kinetic. They've got -- bullpen people in the -- it but I'm I'm assuming he said he was daughter or he'd he'd. Some sort of indication he wasn't going to the 93 pitches in what could have been it'll it will double to base it kind of got me up."

" Baker what does that say you about these two balling players Pedroia after game three said. On me props it's my fault dropped some serious. Lacking at the better team win the game and nobody else wanted and -- were better -- Without the teams are as good as the."

" Now you're you're Olympic pitching you got Pete and with them right the problem is though and less and I'll preface that that double -- outcome I newspapers and that. You guys have the luxury. Sitting back and listening to sound bites and I don't care that their post game. My cook as someone who has filled reams of notebook paper with quotes of -- You know. Catch me after game I don't care to read about it went out after two hours. My adrenaline is still call and I'm still in game I'd still have a lot of things going. Back and forth in my head from a meant not stole coming in the moment so there are going to be emotional things and they're going to be -- that I saved our biggest problem at the accountability. You know. He's basically saying then. That. In other ballpark you know and a lucky break caught in the wind became not a multi effect he got up -- Plate so -- opposite than. And that to me it's disappointing because I don't know John very well -- the -- competitor -- but you know I think. I mean. If I'm a business -- the typical you know what I had to have to make pitches I needed to make and I did not. Make them I got out -- like a deep. It's on --"

" And he's you know he's strong current -- and I'm not saying because the Red Sox won three of four. The top to bottom and getting the Red Sox are the better team the Angels 100 but we know. That that's deceiving because they were in the AL west and they clinched in July or whenever. The Red Sox to me show that they were the better team tomorrow."

" I agreed and LTD. Obviously didn't want to acknowledge that -- want but you know I -- sort of imagine that might associate that it but he was very clear about it I'm pretty sure. Is opinion is mr. typical of the got outplayed they got beat by a better team and you know they hope Mike is one of those guys always come. Been very stand up about stuff like Scotland and Church are easy considering that they're a lot -- policies against people of a and it's going to be frustrating that. They -- and you know that that's just there again you're talking about somebody who was starting pitcher that night in the last stint overseas and they got eliminated and I'm curious but he fired up about the fact -- do what he was given all the do."

" A -- when Francona and Farrell sit down the decide what the rotation what the -- is going to be and whether Josh Beckett it's uneven performance in game three. It was a result of rust or not fully healed. Well that have a lot to determine just exactly when Beckett pitches next."

" It won't change you guys. Richard and hollered bickered about the next week the reported that matter."

" Well I who we know really gets the ball yeah."

" In the UW -- we got to the point where we can trust them to make the best position possible -- and have a band."

" that he wants to talk about it Owens is something we going to discuss that no matter."

" I don't know because I don't know I don't the whole time -- going to assume. That -- situation in you know they know whether he was rusty or force the personal power and you know it is. He's -- a situation where I'm sure that. You know it's it's not bleeding falling off the field on his right it's -- that -- noticeable they got big thing about it oblique injury is. I would -- going to take another economic based arrested he's not going to be able to -- it'll it'll get that better -- don't get worked. So you know he's good to go to him assuming he has. And he's great kick the ball off of course in the in the -- didn't want to let me give the they would just an average."

" I came to. We and the ball and -- to."

" RO what do I -- yeah yeah. Well Saturday and Fridays Saturday and then Monday Tuesday Thursday and Celeste I've."

" Lined up my best pitchers in -- Saturday would be."

" Five was."

" Yeah I mean it hit that big -- on on normal rest on on. -- on Saturday but. At this point a year considering that the workload. I'm okay with another beer to a press Vikings get it."

" And let's -- is unbeatable at Fenway and --"

" You want answers. You stop that bad spots that echoes of the with the all the other stuff the monopoly on October. If you can win it you're at October force it you can pitch Yellowstone and beat it to -- ballpark when it. So I would I would you know Johnson Celtic while I'm -- and everything that I. But we can't -- Josh Simmons and Dyson. You could talk to predict the the big figured that -- I think that schedule a little while on the go three and seven of the without. You might give these guys open arrested be able to push the ball twice in this series big you can do -- on the schedule stretches out the that we're viewed. You got three guys that pitched six and seven games which is what ultimately we want to percentage."

" This is the time were we give you the obligatory moment the gloat because he's you saw this coming with Tampa. Does the fact that they beats Chicago Chicago. Does that do even more attuned to convince you ensure that commits assault. That they're ready for this they're ready for the ALCS or is it -- that's going to happen here that they aren't expecting."

" Well they've they are -- it's pretty -- at every chance in the world. Succumb to you know. Short ways over the period as it's ever been there typical experience and it'll understand them. They've already passed all the tests are not bad -- that was not Ridnour it's it's about but it ain't and they were better teams so. You know this is an endless and as far as political whatever -- about it that they -- it would it would stick meters out. Well you know I'm not I don't the baseball stuff about well the better their quality -- good team and you know this -- he figured you know the Yankees and they've got even better talent in the minor league. This is shaping up to be an elite with. Root for the best top five -- and teams in the game next year which is which is terrific."

" Well based on your oppression prediction about how good Tampa bay would be this year and based on what I just read in the sporting news is that still the team that you might want to pitch half the year with Dexter --"

" Well less than first thought that was. Have you done it was it it was made in response to readers' questions that I could -- a month ago but not like kind sent that in dispute that that I. I don't know it's nothing I haven't told you guys I don't well I incompetent I would -- FBI would pitch for contending team. You know I think I don't understand. That there would need to be a lot done on my hands personal work -- what is likely to. To -- the value that I would bring to the table which is you know. Spent the month and a minor league rehab and all that stuff which is not a problem that the -- I would. A market for -- that there have -- and am on social location matters perhaps seasons. -- always thought the world until that is one reason that I -- baseball and very watchful -- on in my life. They're important -- people. So you know that would obviously be a situation of the developed couple."

" Without coming out saying it's NC operation on due in June point third you made it pretty clear which way you're leading you were leaning toward retirement and I'm wondering. Based on the butterfly the kind of go a little -- flow adrenaline flow you thought last night does that have you lean like degrees more the other way."

" are are really not because. From where I'm out today to be because they had the ball last -- Bears long long road and and I'm not. I'm not real sure about getting open walk and yeah."

" Well assessed the wife and kids feelings on the show them either --"

" Yeah they want me to go to part two tomorrow Japan dog from all of next year. They're ready for me to play tennis winners table and got a pretty pretty much pick -- part of me up presence everywhere."

" Emotions do you expect he will feel watching. Manny Ramirez against your old team the Philadelphia fearless."

" Not I don't but not mean I don't want that -- important part of the -- better. As what it was sloppy game Texas without earlier today and -- for them I'm really really. Open to see them do well. You know -- this fortnight ago non non whatsoever."

" is this is that typical quizzed on them and ask you this question did you vote on playoff shares by the Lakers he wants to know how much you voted -- voted him."

" Well there's you don't you don't. For the most part it but it afforded an entire season to couples here it'll -- almost wears. A problematic and then. -- the rest of the shares were bowled out his players it's really. The what do voting comes in here. Generally be easiest way to do it is to -- Serbs. You're always going to have cases where it's just not fair. The -- you start to stable but I'd get more trust than this guy he didn't have some incredibly net but some like RI can you. Some of the most character revealing eye opening. Meeting I've ever ever bent and I've been in meetings were guys that have made ten and fifteen million dollars a year for 810 years. Refused to vote for members of the grounds crew or -- the coaching staff. Like I put extra ten grand they're stands -- guy and it's like. You know the great thing about for the most part this team. We want to give you -- pretty sure want to beat tests of this global try to give money everybody in you know and you have the you'll every -- has to -- regardless of what categories. But he can seriously. You if you won another 6000 dollars pretax. Figures share and -- some guy who make thirty doubles here of about 300000 dollar and it's just bombing."

" You think Manny. -- have share that that's."

" I you know what that's not that's that's privileged information."

" So open about here could you Jack McCormick the other half yeah. That's the video."

" Ever the other so mother real gray areas and as far as when it comes this we want like that we. Devote to try to give everybody a full share the -- we always -- I haven't. There are rules -- that we can and cannot -- cheers to look in the opposite executives."

" Are we that we league with a difficult question which Los Angeles dodger. Said the following as he was drinking champagne having a poured over his head as he runs into and hugs. Dodgers general manager nickel that he quote. I won a five year deal."

" And he is. The that the Mets are yeah it's against -- not ignore there are not there on the dollar. And a bill Miller and up. Men though as he's drinking champagne now tells that the -- I want a five year."

" You also said I wonder how much the Red Sox voted me yet to -- they don't gonna get a full share of playoff money from Boston."

" We -- we can of Blake facts meant that exact -- in returning --"

" Seven years ago I know this is this our guys' best format tonight the tunnel format that's the one John McCain wanted to. It to to lure of drama into it to participating in all summer Obama was hiding under the desk we knew we refused to show up. Finally he's got a McDonnell setting is do you expect big things from John McCain and."

" But -- people called off. All my god and I was I was glad to see it. Put I'm tired of the -- I'm tired of the broad sweeping strokes but tired of of the character assassination big responded with job he did this. I don't care I really don't care how bad they think. Each other is I wanted to know. What they're going to do. I want to hear you to help me. You don't -- to win it I'm so tired of hearing that it you know he was in bed with -- don't Tony was -- so and so he voted this way you know what. Our point officially the congressional that the alleged closer to the -- Taiwan don't stop. Stop allow on the media that just absolutely. Buried every factual piece of information about. -- candidate. They can't. And it just start it how on earth did we get to a point where you could territory that they can -- on the --"

" Well baker good point about the gloves coming off essentially use a fight analogy this would be like round thirteen of a fifteen round fight. And your guys behind on points up he's got to he's got to go for a knockout."

" It got you don't like he's he's got to beat a man. That he has not been immense people want him to be because he got to where he is and his wife. Handled he has it made mistaken and that one peculiar differences between him and then and Terrell bombers is accountable human being. He's first got to tell -- I'm not perfect. I had screwed up a big -- it and if you're if you're -- an emotional element unbearable the other guy your immediate because people a lot of mistakes and their lives. The fact of the matter isn't artists that them somewhere get a there was a Senator McCain. Want to be dismayed and next president Senator Obama want the -- and expressed that the and that I was of the it's -- you have got to fuel opted out because become personal pursuit for Senator Obama could be the president stated. Where it's manipulative as -- you know he -- the country the better service of being an ex president depicts."

" So we throw harder for the McCain tonight the Red Sox last night."

" Play will be pride will be quite a bit is perfectly at the forum is is. Is open. And then I've done. Could account all of them he's he's. -- an awful lot of because he's. He screws everybody -- up to be aggressive also not you know I'm not going to play when you want to hear you might ask questions you want answers to that I can't get. But -- much tell you what I can do what I what I've done what I plan on dealing. If you don't like it then eat that -- the other back. It can you imagine that come about the other camp."

" Not going to happen are part appreciate the top level talking down the road. By the debate tonight our conversation with Curt Schilling. Brought to you by DC -- digital federal credit union for banking the DC you -- go to DC you'd dot or."
