Mikey's Return

" Painting and invite Mikey taught me. Instead to read and Google saying I'm always happen Danish he would like snow but how do you like it came to my -- show. -- the Tonight Show beat your living room tonight show it's the music. -- the depression look cool of the show. We're almost vampire when -- starts -- then it will be good and it might show. Up it's. Sports reason you didn't he WEEI. And BBC Randy Johnson's old men. So why there."

" Second oldest until the -- pitch forever. You're gonna get through it. From the team. Know like. You got Syria does. It if you. Maybe theory that he did steroids and I can bank -- he found out Detroit. And -- I did buy an --"

" Detroit but none of it had to do with Randy Johnson. Is this audio chain and I guess from pictured here okay. It's just so launched could be yours sounds like foreign. For radius to your ears ringing I -- all the Sports Radio stations up through the rest the last few days in the ties them. They got there and have traveled to every -- at this Giles went to Cleveland. You know I am so glad to do that it. Yep me too but it's just -- you didn't face the music they don't win anything now they know it I feel really really bad for Detroit the argument that will be Detroit deserves better. And then what they're getting right now and am not -- sports teams so much and just hold the city. But -- just quickly on the Randy Johnson's stuff. I don't care who yeah he's -- Okay so twice he had 300 strikeouts or more. On -- was 34. He did it twice he did it in 93. We struck out three Saturday guys -- Seattle. And then. In in 1998. He was Seattle and Houston. He struck out 329. Guys that year. After that an epic and that the steroids for him probably started on the same time -- McGwire Sosa and the reason I say steroids. That's. He's -- than he 610 to two point five. In vacancy and talk about the -- talk about keep healthy keep him so popular right as we know there's different types beginning at the age of 35. He had his career high strikeouts 364. Then his second highest total with 347. Then he broke his own career high at the age of 38 in 2002 with Arizona with 330 voters every two okay so that was one. 02 at 300 reports of four consecutive years and you don't think that actually helps. Well stick to it because affection nationally say embryos that -- in the history of baseball's nationally Sunday's 35. He's got four consecutive years we've -- 300 plus strikeouts. And it's not just the strikeouts listen to the earned run averages during those four steroid years at a club history years. And I don't care what Reed Johnson says and I don't care peace goes -- for suggesting it. He can -- grow. Here's the deal to talk about the real -- shot up. I don't care who aren't -- are you worried there it. Starting in 99 again these -- four years -- question when when everybody was doing Royce or at least we think so how do you prove a negative. Two point 482 point 642. Point 49. Two point three to about seventeen -- nine for win loss record 197 when he went six to report by. These years leading up to his 38. And thirty ninth birthday. -- Yes he has got a 155. More strikeouts and he will be the second man in history. To reach 5000 strike but. -- just looking at you -- raise -- look at him after got to be 42 who. He still still pitch any group that is finally here for the Yankees remember that year five earned run average in six. Seventeen but I got news for this guy here is filthy. Okay I'm missing liberated those believer wants argument as well called the -- program. -- I don't believe. Well we got some well let's take it list that he's on the Tatum list now because we've usually been right on your -- the Jose Canseco of sports talk show yes but fewer people hate me. I think I I would picks -- Tuesday. And I like Kirch. Are telephone number on the show is 617. Look at cake in my my Brett this as a nice this is the dream. Yeah. -- case that anybody touching these pieces that look untouched notes that it knows an -- put their private parts and that's not poison you know sparking used to put by -- birthday cakes you read about that -- OK some sort of yet got laptop here for Red Sox are winning streak. And that's a good thing might be summary tonight the widget on do we have a weather forecaster you know ports."

" Yeah it'll find out but it looks like it's still in this are going to plant."

" Yeah I argument only -- I'm here and it could be offering a yankees and rays aren't you rained out in New York Yankees -- Reyna C and that's all had our way to. Sort of the Red Sox win. -- tonight and play enabled counsel position. First place. Without the Yankees we have stopped and waited to get prizes to give away written a lot of fun when he's -- commitment talked baseball. All night long did come just come back from a sojourn. Across. He long journey. Into the world of Rust Belt baseball. It's like yeah I understand that attacks on sun -- you know. Right in the middle of the the game -- some phones that can be beat beat. Here on TV you -- to be drinking a -- Which is it don't matter rare occurrence MM dot time appearance here to -- Such rhetoric we catch -- that there but to present and that study of buffalo. Sunday night we drove the next -- Cleveland. And then on to Detroit for the next -- and Toronto for the next day and back back again -- a lot of drug it was a lot of drive is about 800 miles. I'm driving -- from buffalo to Cleveland. Buffalo Cleveland was only a couple -- last a couple of a couple of hours yeah random. The weird thing was out of if you ever been to. The members of the New York State -- way up there. In the buffalo area. Is a little there's a lot of rest stops there but what would happen which was really weird way it's. We stopped at this Angola rest -- Denny's okay sweetie. You get out of the car you want -- long haul walkway which crosses over the highway. Apart on the right side. Walk over the -- you get to the center basically dissent or islanders were this arrest area was with the Denny's and gas stations right. There's going to be Denny's we leave. -- We thought we went back down the same -- it turns out there's another one on the other side of the highway that goes to them. To the eastbound side. Sows confusion is I'd enemies identical -- hallways are identical on both sides and so. Which about we go back down on the car's gone we fought."

" I thought it was made -- like I've only got cardinal parked right here. And here. -- Turn around and looked at it looked everywhere. And the -- sunglass -- there be same same exact identical interest tumbled -- a sunglass hut next to a Denny's in sent me a -- will now -- business where he's at -- It. So it was not like that they look exactly the same problems cloudy days it was notes on there was no it could reliance. So comin' back on the cars comic called 911. I have my cards got stolen the -- guises. No it didn't it's just on the other side that's an excellent or apartment -- at the park. He's not happens all the time we get 45 calls today. Go back in the restaurant walk through the other tunnel on the other side. You'll find your car and so I really think he's not a he's just do it. Turnout is right he's been through before church tomorrow. I'm sure that happens it does because there's no discerning between the two sides. When you combine that daddy's it's like okay is that on the go to. -- 5050 shot. And I was -- bears okay Tony -- Beat Cleveland. The hope they -- with Cleveland is that in -- it was a beautiful ball park. And it really of the fans -- quiet and yankees play right. Goalies they claim any. -- Sentiment. Other days -- after they have no one. Field Sizemore says Grady Sizemore. They're really hurt. You know lasted their dreadful it is their bullpen it's Sox as the starting pitchers Sowers. Yet -- use army -- a job a pitcher in Iceland job at a big threats that it great play head trying to play. So what happened was of course -- not all. Awfully yankees need to get a bigger. So we moved down in the game right up next the field. Clinton becomes Iraq. So it's at fort -- six Beers much my son and I started giving it rights and taunting. You know -- that's a good opportunity right there -- from. 254030. Feet. I started yelling you know steroids. Cheaters each user. Madonna -- and it's like well it was fun. That's what to do that's redo Boston we get inland from the crowd and the profit -- they've they've -- guts they are rated join in the festivities. But they -- a big charge out of Austin and in particular given given era but he two in the -- snow there. Iran hurt me though he struck out. I'm Tony struck out and -- and direction -- in book when he I know we heard it was especially with that megaphone. I got a loud voice like. I'm sure that with a crowd was their most people parker probably. And a lot of yankees that -- game history. Looking pretty good night yankees well and here's a little statistic -- called off the Internet. Really difficult to do -- low of the Yankees -- list pride in this news number. The top six Yankee players salary wise the top six guys on the team. Make more than the entire Red Sox team."

" It's the entire Red Sox team makes the less than the top one through six salaried guys on the Yankees this stuff which includes Johnny Damon. Let's. Pretty interest extent that's and that's and labels that there's another step forward. You can take the Red Sox salary 121 million. And take any of the bottom sixteen teams. In baseball. There's doubt that we could take even before there's like at a Toronto -- an 8080 million dollar payroll that in the Red Sox. So it's 121. Plus eighty billion. Is 201 million dollars and it's no less than -- and that's why they have those 2000 dollar seeds. But it that is -- and prosperity and you got teams like Chicago clubs and Detroit Tigers with a 118 million. Dollar payroll or eleven people forget the tigers are way up there lot of money spent yeah and you know its release in which it city. You look at what's going in Detroit. You see you'd you'd drive -- looks like he sees these beautiful old buildings built between 1920 in 1950. They've known nice respectable looking. Topic. Presentations in this what used to be huge and bustling city. And their role empty and there are those that you look around normally look at the skyline in the lights Iran and buildings there's some lights on an Intel was essentially -- Eight out of ten buildings and Detroit are dark. They're dark and you're going that's a gorgeous building windows the Boston. And it's just crazy. And you know exactly what's going on and that's it it's just unfortunate depressed we are in the MGM grand which is beautiful. It's a casino and -- money's there. Away. If you're gonna go to Detroit I would say -- notes through barks and you're gonna go -- and no current nice place in there. What go to ball park and in its final stretch between their ballpark but looking all right I drove past the old tiger stadium and it just a Chicago. It it looks like you know he deserted. You know ghost town their -- believe there one that place up. They have -- as a whole shortly -- may -- this summer home plate curve with a couple late standing still but they do the rest of its -- level. And -- just open it looks like you know again Obama. Into the Detroit fans were more spirited. Obviously him first place team. Gotta have some kind kind of special latitude to survive that's -- to what's going on it's that people world nice meeting was great. Except for when -- rallies now there's and desperately wrong here. Which is which is awful and it. Like cool I've heard it CO failing used jerk. I said that -- H -- and -- couple -- yup and and Heidi want me. And Ron Borges. Run the -- yeah. Stay at zero on the floor almost some equipment. By cracked down on it and -- The talk about -- is movement lit -- we talk about baseball tonight too and what are you -- you -- 6177790850. 88525. Directed the tip callers on -- get right to them and we will talk baseball on this Friday night just a moment. This. Post yet."

" On the WEEI Sports Radio network. -- He's excited -- it felt like twenty -- Apparently -- Wait to leave tonight."

" Refute that Hillary would be enough the -- Yeah just yet at Toronto particularly. We -- What's your -- No he -- have. -- You know I noticed that the guys have -- candidate they don't call outs of three outs two outs in the movies because they call votes. To a vote if it's like oh like 08."

" Yes so I do this all out of all these cities Mikey that he traveled to on this extensive. Right cities. This trip. Which -- you like the best Toronto as the greatest city it made to our greatest season when the entire continent. The earliest yet but now they either team sucks their I don't like to stay in that much because it's kind of plastic feeling here -- and then. It's amazing you know I mean it's an amazing facility but it's and it's impressive in that regard but it's not like you know baseball perspective doesn't have that field at all with which ballpark -- the three -- Detroit Detroit yet. I like Detroit the best. And clean and I've been to before that's of fine parked there it's -- a close 11 media most to but Detroit is just it's beautiful and I got say to him a fan of Jack McCormick. Are huge fans remember Jack who. Is that he's traveling secretary for the Red Sox you've thrown down to the ground by -- roared raged at Manny Ramirez real novel's story. I write good chance talked to -- a little bit before the game on the field he's really great he's a great guy and that. He's just -- he's -- he's just -- and listen to show us why that's not why am saying he's a great guy you don't have to listen to show would be great guy in his. Producer. Our telephone number 61777. -- are -- fifty Brian's on his cellphone good evening Bryant."

" They might yet you don't tonight good how you movement are good welcome back thanks but I -- debate you on this Brady yards in fact there are. I I I really dole. -- I wondered if I'd made it different than a strikeout total volume pitchers aren't the only players it's strike out. Right I know but you did not exactly be great hitters either -- sleep sometimes they bond. But he did poorly at that. Aren't I mean."

" What I'm saying is if a hitter let's say hitter is the guy its ninth for American League team let's let's say he's at 250 guy right. And then you go around the pictures they're like 180. It's a big difference there but it's not that big it's not such a big difference that. That you could if you look he he he spent. His entire career in the nationally are -- again aren't -- a look at this in 1989. He was. 25 news evidence thirteen. With a four point 82 from Montreal. And oh wait no mystery disease -- trees yeah but it's so. Try to find it as something that illustrates the point here okay I guess to make a major point is this if you're a good power pitcher. Major League power pitcher you would assume most people logic would tell you that you're gonna have your best years between agency 2733. That fair to say. Nowadays knows nowadays who knows as a steroids. That's why but I'd -- routinely gets 2733. Okay. So. He had his best seasons at the age of 353637. Of 38 does that make sense to anybody out there fighting. Tom's. Strong. Same that is quietly with a power pitcher 2730. -- there was Nolan Ryan. Who had great seasons you know starting at that page through and and that's there's no question that -- Johnson represents some of that from the power pitcher. Maybe has hit control and all that in perspective. It changes. My point is this. It just -- the strikeouts again. 364. 347372. And 334. On the all time damn record for strikeouts held by Nolan Ryan with 383. And and and hope that has the record for left him through 382. So Randy Johnson came within ten strikeouts of the all time greatest strikeouts season by a pitcher. At the age of 37. Okay 37. I'm not buying it up for 12 -- by the fact that he wasn't using some -- A performance enhancing substance. In his career now. Targeting him because -- like. Maybe so but there's so there's a lot of people. Who have already been exposed as steroid people who many of us thought no there's no way. Is no way he ride there's no way man Raphael Palmeiro. Now Roger Clemens does that mean that -- Reed Johnson Rita which ignore him cause he's tall and skinny. Absolutely not. Randy Johnson won twenty games eight total of three times in his career two of them came in that window talk. And now since course and we know he's been saying in. The Yankees at the age of 41. -- last decent season. Since then he has and and good seasons at all. And an after after the age of forty. These theories is gone up state this year it's at five point 12. You know whatever. I think steroid guy stick by Andrea art which you it is --"

" and I'll tell you tonight I do what's out there and I'd like to propose a trend. That's right I think a -- the red sort skip the start we can print tickets for the World Series who's that of Adam Dunn from the from the nationals Adam Dunn from perennial political home run guys. That's sixteen missy has spent 262. And I would unload don't get rid of --"

" Terry -- the nationals won't want penny -- and any advantage that have no interest Brad and don't think so now the last place team why -- liberals -- that they've already expressed interest in and it is. Is that the in the Nick Johnson trade. No that was -- chance for Manny Delcarmen yeah don't know but this is just recently I think I read today that they would well. They're deadly shopping nick Johnson's number -- yes as the giants possibly."

" So won't -- Tom let me satanic -- from minor league shortstop that's that's ridiculous."

" Jason Donald with the Phillies but -- at least one of their top prospects. Now Adam Adam Dunn at 240 lifetime to 42 -- him though and maybe seven to 62 this year he's got sixteen element which is good. He always -- swing cardinal questions about Martin -- where do you put him in the lineup in this lineup -- would you repent and be replaced a lot of momentum but what what position -- this year. Our sixth seventh."

" To hit probably thirty home runs forty. I think -- great."

" Well is that yeah I mean he has power in all fields are elected in her more. Yeah did you hit mormons are right right -- that -- thanks okay sure it I mean that's fine if -- you know a few Adam -- is are you there have been here in his name for years I don't think -- around the difference maker of print World Series that's what he said yeah princess tickets right now -- in -- hi bill. Mike I don't I had the other night how good was I to say but that was my son next view was more handsome -- 27 year old. I accept -- o'clock. And at the last year at a at us hey you know what I'm I can tell you this on doing better than David Carradine. You know."

" On knack of anybody I mean unmanned. Johnson immediately. Characteristic that wage. Maybe Leo would know why I'm."

" Duke estate Leo I didn't realize that -- it was who was yelling at. -- can't it was a nice guy I mean I have no limit of ten times a great kid. I don't anymore he's a full grown man but -- Randy Johnson he's not a but it complete jerk I -- a story about him too. 101 of my friends as a at a golf tournament in Arizona covering a golf tournament. And he went over the camera -- Johnson walked by any solace in assembly right. So Randy Johnson when he said and he really we talked to per second and Randy Johnson turns and looks at the ghost. -- see out went my brain's. Like you know like. -- his head off. What a big."

" complexion turned -- and there aren't that doesn't that read."

" He's always had anger issues even you know. The attitude induced I don't know buzz going back to the Montreal days I mean I don't -- but on Mike Schmidt head back complexion of the -- used steroids."

" Depended on Brad Penny. I'm I thought I'd like -- not stick around and stick around because I'd love to see him in the playoffs and and attachments. Smoltz worked in slowly in the bullpen and then take. Spots that we -- well I think -- I want -- be important but not."

" I think most people agree -- ability got a healthy smoltz and you've got penny. You've got Dice-K you've got Beckett you've got Lester -- Wakefield and you got god you got kids in the you know them want to break in a -- a."

" Look I would -- spat it out he needed. 56 stats and now he's really in the world it's gonna take that I wish more sports to organize a big maybe it's sped it up. -- slow in the bullpen was certainly going to be spots where he's going to happen."

" Fortunately there's no reason to panic in the Red Sox are still tied for plays that way to the trading deadline to meet their minds -- all of this stuff so."

" give you my critique on -- yeah. When he talks on with. -- Collins but I mean he -- he's got these two need any either of them are out follow up an hour. You know if he takes too long to get -- it takes too long to get the caller on."

" anything. You know I -- that's it but I'd never -- you guys that we can have like. For them most of Ty Cobbs coming on the show next hour would even bring it up for that let's contests they don't -- just -- Yeah like the pitching in for kids thing right.
