" I am a firm believer. That the good lord always as a way of keeping your humble. That every time you start to get carried away with yourself every time you start to think that things are going just a little. The good lord has a way of bringing your feet firmly back to earth. It's the religious hour here last night were prettier -- last night it while authority yesterday afternoon in -- last night. Was it like to describe it one great big bucket that's sock. In it yes there's just no other way to put what happened yesterday around here."
" I don't know how you start -- should start with the team. The team's season is over and that's the Bruins. I can't believe that I thought the that the brunt of the better teams that the differences that team."
" Carolina Hurricanes are better yet. Carolina played better on Thursday night. Man. That was -- and we and we talked about this yesterday. I was joking around apt to open at least the overtime games. Where every single touch of the -- your -- in your mouth and and it -- like the time all 1846. That it. If that -- got all you know I'm just back."
" You know are those interest in no -- is a pretty telling comment from include. After the game where he said he felt like the team was tentative and a little nervous for two periods. So I know we had this discussion before you don't believe that you know experience matters in 2009. I get it got Harry Cadillac -- I don't think out I don't trumps Allen does one but you know what it probably did yesterday it if if the coach says my team was tentative for two period a long time. The be nervous for forty minutes not just words at some ice that's not some blogger distraught and out there. He's he's been he was right there he's he's seen the team all year. He thinks they were -- virus for forty minutes of 78 minute game. And you complete contrast that with the hurricanes who have been. Two game sevens before who have won ten of those guys have won championships and Carolina. I think that does make a huge difference. I don't know they would arms for forty minutes."
" Game was was reasonably -- Com. You know scoring chances were reasonably even. Pretty much up until the overtime and in the overtime. There -- while there were two great chances where you should've won the game one was the kobasew drop pass right between recchi and Chara when you have like."
" 'cause I was -- about your at least going to get. If not the winning goal they're gonna get and a nice on the rebound and opportunity -- to put an end like Scott Walker put."
" Rebound that was that was Andrea and there was the David crate she played in OT. Where Chara pinched down from the point kept it in made the pastor Craig -- And crate she showed such great poise for a very young player we -- just yesterday he just fire away the minute the puck on his sticky. He held it he waded he'd picked it quarter remade a move in Cam Ward took it away from. -- that both of those times the Bruins were going to win the game but there were probably. 45 times at the other end where I was sure the hurricanes were going to win the right and ironically one wasn't the last like has never saw walker common. I mean until he batted it out -- Thomas when neither did Wideman who who you know was streaking past. I saw the shot that seem like -- reasonable. Scoring chance but Thomas going to handle that went five. And walker for me just came out of nowhere -- wasn't looking forum wasn't looking Adam so I ironically that that hockey I like him I thought -- Machiavelli wrote the script I mean if you're Bruins fan it's not bad enough that you lost game seven at home after coming from three games to one down. You gotta lose it in overtime to that guy and Scott Walker's -- score the -- it be worse if you're Bruins."
" And up -- idea. I gotta give Paul Maurice credit. A couple levels. He made a couple of coaching switches. Com a couple of adjustments that -- worked out perfectly for them immediately. I gained three. He'd he'd he'd diminishes Brenda -- ice time gives more Yoakam and joking and has."
" just was then I know we get credit I guess technically for the goal in the first. Brenda -- was really not much of."
" Yeah -- felt so yogurt and had a great game three and then in game seven. He puts the the enemy of New England villain number one public enemy number one Scott Walker on the first line. And look what happens you know Scott -- scores the winning -- so I hate to give the guy credit. I think he might be a bit of a phony. Or or if he's not a phony he's he's he's one of those people who takes advantage of the way lets you kind of looks Micah. A librarian. At that bookish look but he's dirty -- I'm convinced he's dirty yourself -- the dark in his past so. But I hate to give credit but I have to."
" Say they deserve to win. You can make an argument if you're Bruins fan. And and I party heard this one that Scott Walker at least shouldn't have been playing in game six. I made the argument after the soccer -- he shouldn't be playing in either of the two games make that argument that's -- right."
" Can articulate the argument for game six some of the to -- game -- he can be suspended for game I don't see him. Concede that meant even if he had a spine and Alia or or Colin Campbell he's up two games."
" They might sheriff's fine maybe that's what service. Bettman and Colin Campbell sheriff spine and neither of them have won maybe it was lucky it it can't get worse if you're Bruins and the what happened last. If you had lost that game six to nothing it would have been easier to take them what happened last night."
" So yeah I mean EU we look at the Bruins now. They are in terms of -- bottom line they are the same -- bruins' other you don't feel that way when you look at their that your talent look at their core. Look at the future you know Tim thomas' signed up they got restricted free agents and and Phil Kessel and create a -- yet I mean. But what you got you get the feeling that the got a pretty good general manager in -- got a pretty good coach in place in new young talent is. Is exceptional in some areas so. You don't feel like -- yes. One. Season where everything came together you feel like. You know this can last for three or foresees."
" You hope but that doesn't. I don't know that in ninety for about make you feel better. You know they certainly became more viable on the Boston sports landscape this winter. And they they went from from off most people's radar screens to at least being. Considered. -- over the course of the playoff run they became a vital part of the sports scene around here and and habit and as disappointing as it did. Certainly kicks them back a notch but it doesn't take them back off the charts it doesn't take them back."
" Now the -- I wouldn't say that -- not at all I mean they're still. I think I think people are optimistic about them their future. There you know nobody feels good about what happened last night but if you look forward with the Bruins probably felt better about the Bruins future. Then you do about the future of say the Celtics. Who are having war and -- and get exactly that the next the next three years -- the Bruins are going to still be in contention whereas the Celtics going to have to make some changes. And you know they got some staggered contracts you know starting with Ray Allen then moving on appears then finally Garnett and Garnett hurt now. All those guys are on the north side of thirty. So -- you feel good about the Bruins future but that doesn't make you feel better today I mean they should be playing in the conference finals which we talking about penguins bruins' outside."
" And might be lying for John snow line oh. It's her eyes and her exes -- justice. There's nothing good to say about what happened last night I can't come up with anything and they went to game seven -- I can't come up with a -- on one Korea they were down 31 of force against them and and that is -- And as far as the other team. That played last night in the playoffs I'm --"
" Really bright about -- I said there's a really terrific pocket it's not this is just a great day in that was this frustrating. That's as frustrated as I've been all season long watching. And yet now that really -- the turnovers. That the shots. I mean I keep saying. We know -- have another game like that. No so and so's number and can't get anything even -- the economic and the little freebie while it without. And I can feel almost like myself okay this is the shot that rate -- for game seven. That's also not a Halle Berry shot went to that made me you know an unknown. Just feel good on -- shot and it didn't go. I'm mean turnovers. At shielding and and you know too -- you can probably most rely on to shoot the basketball. Your captain Ray Allen. She couldn't finish. It could mean pierce had you at three straight shot -- finally at about -- got back together again and about."
" By a point you thought they were in good shape. Now I have to say having my two Rico jinxed them at the beginning of the game. Pierce's big hit that guy -- what -- of his last thirty which had been realized by the way. And then giving it best Hillary playing the too many risks to. Like I let you know what that meant it to the right plan to open Mikki Moore and there I don't think so because. Wheatley expect Orlando to come out firing they really didn't. At the lead -- in the first period the Celtics have the lead at halftime lead by as much as ten -- like -- that was. It was only winnable game to this this surge of emotion for mark and that's why I was so frustrated what are you knew it was there platter for yet. Well this is what I saw. And the trend here's the -- the last three games. Overall the -- not play well in three straight. And -- went to him. -- played well last night. Didn't play well."
" In game five. They did the last five minutes. -- into control again they were down fourteen in the fourth quarter. And in game four game four. Yeah hit two shots in the final seven and a half minutes to get two point up the -- if you put these games together their fortune that's why not overly frustrated because. I think they're fortunate to be in at 33. Situation. Coming back here for game seven because you can make the case of you if you want to he's optimistic Orlando fans. To say they should have the series are wrapped up and it should be over so come back to the garden for game seven. I do like the Celtics chances but. I'm with you they had an opportunity. -- in the frustrated you're I was totally price difference is that an opportunity. To wrap this thing up and keep talking about heart. It's not steeped in my heart they have been. They've taken Rudy Tomjanovich is quote. After 1994. And and run with it never underestimate the heart of champion -- on it -- it popular says it Rondo says it. How about this and a new slogan for the Celtics. Put some smart with that heart."
" That's not bad but some smart with the heart because they played foolishly last -- at -- every time an opportunity to take a seven point lead to nine. Nine to 1110 to twelve. Really blow this team now. It is something stupid. In years it was turned the ball if you play smart basketball against this team they don't have a game seven they really can they could've won the game but. Coming back here if they play smarter basketball. Got a little bit of a break here game on Sunday not every other day. It's going to really help that you're not not playing on Saturday you're actually playing on Sunday Sunday night get an opportunity to rest that he'll have. Play smart basketball. You win this game. When this series and face the cavaliers."
" I don't. Amid -- still think. I got long weekend which apple would happen yesterday. You have to admit I think that I pessimistic about everything I -- going to help I and everybody today Ross carries it -- today. Producer for that I hate him -- Good to see on. Ask Alex a guy abstract. What are you doing here. And then yesterday afternoon. Speaking of the great big -- it is our sports like around here. Here's my prediction as bad as it gets its members that is Dave Ortiz -- hear about here's my prediction."
" David Ortiz will be placed on the deal sometime very soon. Now it won't be the wrist they won't say that he's got a wrist problem. Because they you know they don't want to go back there it'll be it'll be. I strained hamstring aura. An oblique strain Nara. You know law appalled but muscle or -- me if they'll come up with -- And I gotta get him out of that line up for a couple of weeks without benching him. And the only way you can do that is to DL him for fifteen days. He's got to sit down I mean you gotta you gotta get him away from there you gotta let him go go out and caged all by himself -- work on stuff. He EU can't keep him where."
" alarm and that's again calling apart put him on the yeah the bench him. Is it going to sit IN utley was going to get the night off tonight it and not NA. We -- going to punish you you've been a bad boy go to your room -- I don't -- sadly I don't you know and they don't he needs he needs help. Don't -- that's our bench. That's our bench and war for two or three days let him get himself together he needs to Watson found had watched -- considered bad. Talk to your people want to -- the -- and that's fine magnet that don't worry column Papa Jack pop -- that to a report. Another conversation with Ryan Howard Carlos Delgado audience here Manny. In the wake up when it's time. It. Batting coach for the next morning when I made about forty or forty games are. Forty day vacation for Manny."
" I've never seen. You know we've seen him look bad for awhile and have a home run yet it's gone a 150 at bats or whatever it is. I don't think have ever seen him as as pitiful as --"
" That span and in the twelfth inning. We went to -- frustrating I feel sorry forum but not just him and that situation. The Red Sox in the twelfth --"
" And again bases loaded you've got the American League MVP up with one out one out. And Dustin Pedroia strikes out not gonna kill Pedroia is 00330. Year three you -- he said."
" Very often not a strikeout guys that he strikes out -- comes up gives it to 32 full count. In the end I don't know if he was confused I don't know if he was trying to. Trying to scooted out of their baseline I doubt it. I -- it pulled on the -- was the it was a Julio Lugo in the Julio Lugo swearing I was as it was an agreement agreement homer. It was -- it was this wing. Of a utility infielder. Who gets about. You want and have about fifty or sixty of that."
" Yeah -- a 74 at bats among Rutland that's what was. It was willful and I I know that you know. Terry Francona might be the most patient person I've government. And he keeps talking about -- run away from these guys and we don't get the advantage of seen him when things go good in and Dustin Pedroia might be his his poster boy for the but at some point or another. I don't expect David Ortiz I think he's got too much pride to go to Tito and say take -- outline I don't think he'd be less likely to got to do and I think Tito has the heat he has to say you know what David. We're going to take we're institute now I think they out of the -- for fifteen days I'll I'll take your -- I."
" Just sit down for a few days I don't know is going to Texas. Fifteen well. Well I think any got a better chance but maybe Europe for two weeks and now he's got a new round of excuses if you come out for two weeks. Well you know he understands what he's doing but you take two weeks up these guys are highly trained athletes two weeks copies little rusty. That happens I now you're on and on well he -- he's healthy but he needs to get back into the swing what you do if you pick them up for two or three days. Then not really going to lose all that much. Taken to --"
" But here's the beauty -- for -- here's the beauty of the -- you know -- for two weeks. -- To put socket or Portland and and let him get some rehab swings in and let him down there and and work against real live pitching let you know minor -- realize pitching here's the risk is ridiculous that there to -- Would -- then pop homer homer Pataki. My point though is is what happens is is -- DO. And do anything for 45 days I mean -- look at video if you want to pick up -- don't swing in the cage not. And then you say OK is up he's tweaked hamstring is better now. Yeah let him take a little BP at that parking lot of work in the Nadal bit. And get about 45 days worth of minor league acts. And and hopefully -- year. You get him feel better about himself and and your right the risk you run is you know he suite in particular Portland and nothing's fallen."
" Ask your question okay now. Every great athletes that Nazis. Integrate athletes -- absolute. We saw Manny here. I noticed that name's -- and Boston but still a great hitter. We saw him when 2007 at home runs. Only to want to write many we started that -- I am that's and it is not the great guy and greats like that used to be Mike Lowell before it got the Boston not a great player but a very good player an All-Star player in Florida. Before he got the Boston he was the throwing in the trade. He had an off year. Inflow of following what I think of the 32 Cameron -- and they came back images didn't let the thing. For for David Ortiz. This is beyond the security news this is beyond and -- you're not -- for David Ortiz would be. What seventeen home. Seventy home -- 74 RBI as you've been saying for awhile it would be not right right so seventeen homers 74 RBIs a -- Owns 73 batting average. 360. On base. That's that's an off year and they may be really lost. He's really not a what a -- can come back and build on this bad season this is the kind of season that makes you wonder if that guy is done."
" does. It and here's the sunny day tomorrow and I think that's what's in his. I think in his mind somewhere in the deep dark recesses. You know that guy who was sitting there staring into his locker yesterday and finally turned around instead of the media I just don't feel like talk and somewhere in that mine bought is."
" I wonder if I can still play probably a sought to march though. I agree with that I don't I don't think he should keep talking because every time if you if you're if you're reporter."
" And injured you're doing your job you talk to David Ortiz popped them. David -- something I'd want to the Dominican got a vacation coming up but Dominican. David where he -- School. No you're talking to him about a slump. That's your reason for talking to him every day so if I'm David Ortiz. It doesn't I'm not talk on the -- on -- for a little bit but nothing gets you guys I respect got a job do. You guys treated me well since 2003 but. Give -- a little break. Three daybreak. A long weekend David Ortiz as long weekend."
" It started just a panel. Take command to Monday -- that three days going to fix this -- I am not sure fifteen is going to fix this body ensure that. But you know he needs the mental health down time worst and then. The confidence swing -- building on top of that which is why I'm saying fifteen I think the only way saved this guy his dignity. If you -- it right he's been trying to play now for awhile. This but most hopeful an island and where we you know he didn't want to want to keep my throat were going to shut him down. Now he needs to get himself right we're gonna we're gonna get in fifteen days to get right. The picnic and that they gotta do this to."
" Our property and a poll question today WUPI dot com dale -- page. Ongoing property you know poll question you know when will David Ortiz hit his first home run of the season. This series. Coming up at Seattle. Memorial -- more. We have mile Lucci to be allowed to give birth to a hit. Relics that we -- Alan okay yet Father's Day let's say well in -- report. How about that. We've got. This series. And Kevin Garnett birthday at -- may nineteen. Garnett birthday. What today's date the fifteenth. Closets for games here in Seattle -- He had played ninety okay. Back out there to regret that that guy this series. Memorial Day I would -- birthday. Father's Day. Never. Never -- about it right now that the idea. Because it. Doesn't come back."
" I don't think that's but -- Marty saying you're gonna phony up the DL stint out they keys -- I don't think there's anything wrong physically. So what's it but once you put him on the."
" LC now you open the that not this is gets real interest in different. You put him on the L you've opened the window for bringing in another big idea."
" It's gonna be Cris Carter -- you know that's which are probably going to do."
" Home. Not really."
" You're not gonna go you're not gonna go acquire a DH from outside the -- you could. That's not what the they want to do."
" This is this -- it is you've got -- you've you've -- doctor team. With the expectation that -- number three hitter -- didn't expect him hit thirty -- that they expect twenty you'd think. So you've got a team and a certain way in your guide your number three guy has zip. Zero. Honest feelings I -- he's been great. And it went whenever his career is over might be now might be five years now whenever his career is over I'll be there and park. And incorporation -- great thanks for the memories. Big hit after big hit big homer homer but does not the time for. Sensitive hearts and and and touchy Feely stuff. Something that put him on the DL. I I wouldn't be surprised it went up outside the organization got --"
