Wednesday Night Mikey

" The Tonight Show. Didn't and it might Knight -- me. Instead to rest and Google and I'm always happened Danish I hit like if so Bob how do you like it came to Mikey show. He's -- tonight should be your bit in pain tonight show this is the music that cheeky after the questionable goal of the field. -- vampire when Mike starts to -- that it will be that the --"

" It's play. Sports -- WEEI. Whenever our differences. We -- fellow Americans. Please believe me when -- No association has ever meant more to me -- that."

" Hi everybody -- program. Thomas still looked confused if you both for something happening like as -- questions to. And you win. 65 to 35%. -- the legislature to go back and change your vote by saying no we don't want that. So -- how could they ever possibly gain and would pay raises in the legislature recent years is that impossible for them to lose that battle. If we vote against pay raises for via. The state legislature they they can still vote over Ross just tell us to go screw ourselves is that really what it's about. And why is -- only one ounce. Right now -- right objective you know it's funny last night I was on and buck and I were on -- and and we we were presented with four could be important topical questions about the world of sports one for each team. One for each protein in Boston. And a buck and I were instructed each take one side of the fence. And dead and so we had a little discussion last night in and on the air this was an on -- debate on a suitable places. A sports debate with Catherine -- as the moderator I don't know if you caught it. But unfortunately I have the last second pick of the Varitek question. And so I had to take the side of the of the issue that Varitek wasn't going to be back I don't believe that's true. But I think as I didn't debate class many years ago like past flying colors and buck lost the treatment one. So that's what we've got that's we've got tonight regret that you think Varitek and be back mixture to depart. I do. Now is it what are my here and he wants four years at 52 million dollars. -- Scott Boras wants. For years and 52 million. I'm sure sure Jason Varitek would minded. That's suited sick. And it says here by the way is a nice picture here in the do you print this out -- Romero. Picture Varitek and as being interviewed by -- want me. And I like the Heidi -- part of the picture best. The Red Sox according to Harold. And I. Would -- Red Sox were entertaining thoughts."

" That their efforts to resign free agent catcher Jason Varitek will be easy. They learned otherwise yesterday agent Scott Boras told reporters that New York Yankees catcher Jorge posadas four year 52 million dollar deal. Which was agreed to last offseason will serve as a benchmark for any team. Looking to -- Varitek. It's probably representative age wise Boris Said it's also representative of what a player on a winning team is worth. You're not going to have many catchers who have performance levels a 60% winning percentage -- franchise. And have won two world championships and caught four no hitters. The idea of it is that there aren't there just aren't many in the marketplace that can lead a club like Jason Varitek and that's going to be. His his value. Now their parts of that statement that I totally agree with you know first of all that you've probably. Are not going to finding god can just jump right in with the new pitching staff at Fenway Park renewed team. And handled handled the pitching staff and and be as successful as Jason Varitek I agree with that. When I don't however agree with is that Jorge beside his 52 million dollar. Number should be benchmark now I'm not run of the team it's not my money okay you understand that is not my money that's trust me -- Matt."

" When I'm not here to say that any man should get whatever he could possibly get in a free market value system. I agree with that that part of golf -- four. But I don't agree -- that I don't did that month numbers can happen. The B a colossal mistake -- the reds are for years now here's an here's the problem if Jason Varitek and -- 260 this year with seventeen home runs to set an eighty runs batted. That I would've said -- he's the same as he ever was."

" Go get it you know go get whatever it is and and maybe deserved to raise some were saying when he signed for four years at ten million dollars since there was no. Nobody nor the team really fighting gets the Red Sox that they might have overpaid that -- to -- was in arguing that now. And look at it back hindsight being what it is that it was the Red Sox were successful in the past four years no question about it overall. But 52 million. Ridiculous 52 point 413 point one per year I can't imagine team paying that much -- merit that. After having his his worst season ever with a and it has aged India and in the ages is -- 36 or catcher. So they're saying okay open paper to new years here forty and with full anticipation of possibility that he will not be I say good luck to Boris give Ned field yeah. You know that they'll probably yeah it looked in my view we talked about -- three should be you know -- to your post an option for Ameritech and it's because of the -- but. Again here's an option Macs are now running the team and I'm not charge ready -- stuff but of course you know this is Varitek is going to be his last salary awry you would assume. But I'd -- I would feel more comfortable maybe with some kind of incentive. Situation her or something where. As you can get that kind of money if things work out the right way but just to say well opportunity here for its housing -- Miami -- point. I'm not involved in any of them via. Negotiations and nor was I involved in any negotiations -- question -- this for of this from David --"

" Of the globe staff boston.com. Of the voters yesterday overwhelmingly approving a ballot initiative to decriminalize position small amounts of -- wanna. Making getting caught -- less than an ounce of pot punishment -- civil 500 bucks. The proposition will become lost thirty days after his reported to the governor's council which usually meets in. Late November early December but the legislature could amend it. Or repeal the new law as they have done with prior initiatives passed by the voters. A spokeswoman for Martha Coakley says opponents of the proposition said but they're concerned about the potential consequences of the vote. Here's a quote the administration's cleared its opposition decriminalization of marijuana and we're concerned about the effects of ballot question -- passage. Kevin Burke. The State's executive office of public safety. He would not comment on whether the administration will try to repeal the law which will require violators younger than eighteen to competed drug awareness program. And the finally increased as much of thousand dollars for those who fail to complete of the program so."

" It this is what they're saying is yet you passed it to 21 week it just repeal -- we if we want to. Add depth. I I'm afraid I don't get that I know what happened with the repeal the income tax last time -- tried that to roll that back. And so ads and distant at this time around the income tax which I still used as vote 7030 yet think that the margin. Against heroic back Tuesday -- which I just don't yet. I really don't and I I guess I never will I don't know I it's. It's bizarre though and it really isn't done and we're not going to talk politics and I -- tell it's true Donald burned down a little political thing I really really am I'm tired of and I want to give my mind back -- swirling world sports I've made the bold prediction. Some say it's -- some say it's insane. And baseball. That the Celtics gonna win seventy games and -- twelve games this year. Now there's three in one okay so they're on pace to basically win about 66. Right now writes it roughly. Is that right yeah. Records of the games. That's about sixty. Last year they won 66. Tonight they play again."

" We're playing tonight. NBA team. It is now. -- call. What's her name under -- I heard rights. Of course. Great generic name --"

" I was tons of thunder and Oklahoma City at least at Oklahoma bombers. That would be awful. So tonight -- get back in action in the -- the Celtics and -- they've won four out of five games. And that's out of -- that's now that's your that's your 66. Received -- game. But again -- shoot higher aim high these champions these are guys that have. -- tremendous. Front office behind them. I'm looking for the emergence of Rondo as one of the league's premier and starring point guards in the in the entire NBA. -- Perkins is going to be huge this year he's huge already but he's going to get better and better and better outside about it. -- hear what you have to say the next say our. About it Welker. We have about an -- Yeah right because of the pre game is at 730."

" my home -- city and I."

" How does not hit the ground ball hit the ways they could evolve means you'll throw it into the front. Court and it is over. The red state will go home blue thanks for the great. 13 to 99 the Celtics hang on to win it."

" There's Sean -- have writers now. Editors did that has excellent stuff like he had lived that yes. Some like an ad -- that's awesome."

" Sean -- can turn of phrase. Welcome back the program everybody. 61777985888525850. That's our toll free number."

" And we hope you're having a fun fun fun fun night tonight a couple more Red Sox rumors for -- that I like this hot stove stuff -- really really do. --"

" The Sox -- I in South -- reliever Billy Traber according to Alex spear. Scott Boras -- Derek Lowe would be good fit in Boston or New York."

" So Scott Boras has every bit. Don't we have a list of Scott Boras clients it's pretty much everybody is that."

" Nick of Fargo says Derek Lowe would like to return to Boston. Maybe even out. Slight discount. That's a home team discount. -- Jason Bay's agents are saying that he's loving Boston and is open to a contract extension group god bless them say that's nice I like Jason Bay. When asked about the possibility of Manny Ramirez signing with the Yankees Red Sox GM Theo Epstein basically said it's not his concern. Otherwise the team of of -- comments flexibility Justin Masterson could be a starter or reliever and have -- Morgan hung up on acquiring any one player."

" Is summary the Red Sox are heavily involved with -- according to globe sees the front runner. Of the restaurants in -- has Iowa and why would -- want to come routine -- had success in building Japanese players into the American system here and I would some teammates speak his language and so on and so -- thirty set are pretty. Interpretation. They also like -- Countless. -- almost completely said the wrong thing here maybe that's him calling right that's probably heavy on mixture in advance and a missed pronounce his name. Pitching Kawakami. Kawakami. I think that -- might. Telecom and yes yeah. The Sox landed talked to the Rangers with that Taylor -- garden and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. And Gerald layers possibilities for -- garden read such appropriate you know clay buckles Michael -- And so they have that. And have talked to you about the Celtics are you want to organize for -- sorry you know we don't we don't put. Parameters on the program we don't say it's a theme show we talk but one thing and one thing that's thats crap -- don't do that. Scott is in the car and are number 617 halves of -- reproduced."

" Not go like your it I've voted I you don't -- on to a -- I have to disagree with your. Orchestral Celtics I don't think they picked up on top out in the off these in there and -- older and then. I think. The way out dark and managed the game this year -- there are little rundown going what are your are all backed off the apple but -- you want."

" Well but it don't you think this is going to be a natural evolution of the 22 guys on the team the young guys that -- can only get better than I'm talking about Rondo and and perk."

" do I think correctly or that it is part of a much better year Rondo. Opened the second half of the year yeah just don't know they evident enough on."

" They are going to add something. This is not the final yes they are probably out of veteran presence along the way here they will and I I agree I don't pig I think seventy wins going to be tough yet. I want I don't of course I mean I played at their eyes throwing -- into the NBA courses I think right around sixty. Uses the number I'm looking you'll have a little bit -- who's ever closers settled under it you know whoever's closer you know that's how much. 500. He could swing that. All about that -- about 500 -- I do a -- Ellis."

" Over under me closer who'd ever closer sixty. So wait so 66 is that if sixty sixes -- I win it at 65 UN women's we're we're is that dividing line there."

" Beyond. That. Nice -- we can't give on the air. Against a hard -- about it -- questions for but we either going to repeal it. -- the call up Justin and and Obama hello adjusted."

" What well Mike how are you Andrei adopted into the open saw the past couple years now that the Jets in the US -- I just. -- talk about the team I think that -- just talk -- player now see why he can't park thought Antonio McDyess."

" Well they've already talked about it and it's in the subject is come up and there's no reason we can't talk about what you feel about it."

" I think it's sort of a great player that I think because -- DePaul forward and I think you can kind of step away from the basket -- Michael Leon -- Glen big baby Davis."

" Now you -- mid range jumper. It would assume yeah but you know what better you know I saw her last -- take a fifteen footer and he didn't hit a couple eighteen footers and it Eddie -- had a -- listen this is something I used to go to the games every single was and I do my program from there and -- practices every single time and that it's up and he. Constantly. Was working on before every single game that I was at last year. Was these in these different variables on his shooting game because you know. Down underneath that's -- that's one thing you know you really kind of fight who's around -- what's don't know when you when you had backed up but it you get that clear wide open. Medium range jumper. And you can make that shot then your whole the whole trajectory of the whole landscape view changes completely. As far as what you can produce offensive."

" Absolutely because you know what side got a bad that McDyess step it -- then we gotta bring a guy have a tougher policy ice."

" Oh sure yeah moves everybody around the bit to have to keep that back of their mind you can hit that shouted. And and again that's why -- say change having that we saw perk last year have a bunch of individual games where he scored. And it was all from from somebody leave him alone underneath or him being particularly aggressive underneath. I'm telling you right now if this guy can hit if you jump shots a game from that from right -- top of the key. Follow line is where I'm talking about the foul line and that you -- at -- got something going there and I that would be great to."

" I thought our ball that there have been a lot of comparisons on ESP and one not about you know the Big Three of Houston and Boston yes I think this huge glaring difference even though -- of the game I think the rest -- count against Hideki. I think defensively at first stop -- just. Far better than any team yet you're."

" you can rip the refs only one this show because we -- of the -- The refs in the NBA history of not only -- You know take some money well. Natalie Vietnam professionally and in unable to perform the function they were hired for some of them. At some of them you know making a lot of phone calls. Well at all -- phone calls before the game you know move some money around stuff like I'm not so sure that's good thing you know it's had to purge that image but. Damn it's pretty weird pretty bad. At thanks for the call Justin. -- Justin -- Jason. You know there was a period time and I and I lived through it. I named my kid Justin Jason but it react known name their kid just Jason. It was this it was late seventies early eighties -- the same period were all my dad's name game. Yet Jason pot here yeah yeah. It's in the late -- what you boards every night ranks at last yes so it was late seventies early eighties everybody in -- in the country and the they and the daughters were all Kristen."

" Or run. Over."

" Jenna -- or you know yeah yeah -- but. It's predominantly the men and indeed the guys that are that are of your -- I don't know that it how many friends you have named Justin Jason Joshua. If you are you don't have any friends at all that's why but. Jason's and made Jason howry hold wages."

" 32 -- that great -- are you see all lane and Barcelona I want to about it being the -- of the earth and or it's. Bump and clouding his judgment yours mind. You know line -- you know offer Varitek. You know posada. Did not happen. But -- right."

" Well that's part of the problem with a beside a deal as -- the Yankees any anyplace else he wouldn't gotten a kind of money not -- You know a pretty old I mean -- writing was heard all western got the bad children but. But here's a guy who can hit pretty well -- but the Yankees paid him for basically I think for a to maintain his service on the on the team then and the Yankees have no regard for what the total final numbers we saw there Damon we see -- everybody."

" I just you know I think that. I'm I'm not quite sure people back it is going to -- one posting that. You know I think -- the air that he if he can't but you know it will be a year ago but you know we'll see what --"

" Here's the problem Boris and we you know for me sentimental perspective everybody wants a Varitek to finish his career reception for a of course that well. And and he's very very well loved player right from the Boston fans respect no doubt about that but you when you got Scott courses your agent. Those who elements are are contrary. As far as working against each other complete."

" Yeah the -- At 7 yeah so yeah I I just not accusing me of being a little higher."

" That it's. A --"

" Realize that it that is you know last year it was a different things you know these guys common and you know they had a lot to prove their careers -- Media you know last year you know -- a winner -- intensity. You know just the whole. Scope of things were a little different now they've done it they've won it -- their belt so much or. It's the same you know the action yet I don't know I guess if it it I don't think it's going to be quite."

" The urgency level might have -- you're saying right yeah I I hope that's I hope that's not the case I understand exactly where you get that in certainly could be. A possibility however. What I feel from Garnett in for the first case I believe he has a it really really strong sense of of history. And and would probably like to be part of the dynasty. Or against him I think pierce Allen I agree -- going to get to those guys too I think their -- along the same lines but I think with with the big key player in this would be would be. A Garnett making sure that he's not. -- that the result one and done you know I began against his case that's that's what's driving them so we'll start at eight."

" I think they can do without when he that in the -- do want to side you have -- part is that you'd think that. You know won his shoulder into you know that they -- all trouble or credibility at bats but you don't."

" If they learn one thing last of -- learned that this home field home court advantage is was it was the key to them winning the championship do you agree that. -- because should help it in. Exactly so I think that. I think that you know when it when you talk about that that they know that they've learned that the hard way last year you gotta have the home court advantage if you could possibly get -- because that was the world knows whether taking these early games so you know -- so important and I said let me out of it. I don't know why series out of the question who were some of the teams that they're going to play most often and are they bettors."

" I think it is that it. -- that you know that that particular had a lot -- made the call it before that. And it is in a little bit differently down the stretch given them you know break your network but here needed it and no one -- where will. There aren't there well you know. I think that's going to that's going to play at all through which you know they are older you know I -- injuries play apart which got it you know you don't want to sharpen up a -- when all bets are out there."

" There's a major injuries and you know -- anybody's normal prediction -- can't be held to it you know so on but I think yes seventy's I I he always aim high so I'd -- would -- be happy with 66 -- you know and who wouldn't be tougher this year too does the east is much better this season and some of the teams they play more like 76 is -- Raptors improved proved a lot of us haven't playing together longer and as I mentioned to their young players are going to be some substantially improved in almost veteran like in the era you know their approach yet another new adventures and solid as last year so far."

" only beat the mine somebody gets tight but you know there a need at that. Present what somebody like it chose Smith could be out there --"

" Yeah yeah definitely yeah there's a lot of different guys who you are different from past years who will be willing to come to Boston because now -- have reestablished when he tradition. It. I Jason effort out there -- in Maine and I assume resisting and he's in 959. In 955. On the W -- sports -- radio network -- and southern and central -- And even outcomes in from a and David New -- my if you love your show thank you. -- went zone someone I'm close to knows Nick Swisher personally. And he told out of the sox' interest in trading for him. He also said the Colorado and Oakland were in the mix to have you heard anything about this and if it's true why would they. Why would that one to him. Why would that and if it's true why would that want him it's. Okay -- today. I have not heard -- about Nick Swisher has anybody else know -- this could be for some rumblings. Really."

" Read -- have a MLB trade rumors dot com there's some rumblings."

" Rumblings yeah yeah I hear liberals I usually don't write the men's -- let's go to Tom and national dog time."

" In my. Paper we can and here. Notre Dame destruction -- heights in appreciate it right the ship after last two. Since -- weekend at the table we get of the year. That it can be if you play under any sport. Of course that we can easily be your favorite your absolute favorite. -- On we talk about sports."

Now it's probably want to her -- weekends of the year to. Accomplish. It. -- always going to be the outcome mr. prognosticators."

" What the issue of Barry saw the even in the games they give up a lot of points got a lot came off of bad reception are you -- the okay that's fair. But it -- are there notre instrument back bit or -- a step back this year. But all teams -- fired up by the schools they've pretty low. But in the NBC can make -- at deployment -- again -- history --"

" Okay. A ball Ford body. He had done no problem mis cheerleader but that's cool apartment cool yeah Lenny. Lenny megs I understand it. You while you -- when you're going to go to the game.
