" Ken Rosenthal from fox sports foxsports.com. And a Major League Baseball package on fox. -- brought to buy rockies' ace hardware stores the sweet spot for all your home page and lawn care projects Rockies your project simplified. And Miami get insurance it's not just how you're covered Michael."
" The target treated by fox Major League Baseball network. WEEI. And other media ventures and --"
" It's -- be -- ideal in that area where the candidates. -- you know I was reading with interest your your piece on foxsports.com. Today you had an interest thing. Statistical got on his -- come hard truth about box -- I didn't know about yet uninteresting statistical tidbit in there. How the hell can the tigers be ahead of the twins given the run differential numbers those two teams have."
" It's been requested and tigers are like negative three right now and that's when the plot well that right if that's right and run differential is usually a very good indicator of where he has. It isn't the end all beyond Decatur and over the course we've given you the bill there can be some fluctuations. Are oddities. A lot of times can be caused by a team that it won't have a lot of news much for the I didn't -- the description. But there are things that can all around the -- password should be. But hey what was really is sounding really want my -- at all the American League team. The -- had a better run differential the tigers. Open seat until last night had a better run differential when tiger. What I think we're trying to say -- areas the tigers are not very good."
" They cannot I love this kind of talk this time of year last year. Around this time we're talking about Dustin Pedroia or Kevin new clothes for MVP of the American League. How about this year who who's your favorite and give us your top five."
" Michael battle. I can't say hey. -- this -- typical people power. I kind of agree it now are but. -- those discussed. I don't know that any longer a discussion. Now are as separated and as between roared back in contention. Without -- without creating -- with cooler out. And it's really been overall just a quarter or. There aren't all that candidacy. But that missed the first month or covered that it is surgery. And -- he had -- about 1% aren't. But overall in terms of your values -- mean in most valuable player -- the I don't know that it. Anybody else but -- at this point. I let you put a lot like Jeter a lot I like Miguel Cabrera. And there are others as well Michael Young. I haven't sat down yet Michael great now a top five. Right now I probably would have you with my top rate -- that. That kind of confuse the issue because there are quite a few of them. You can even didn't he put in rod. In that game and it didn't come back have really become yet we know them right now. And before that they weren't there before that Teixeira certainly what what the -- So it's going to be interesting. Is how these outbreaks are but I would be shocked the war is now would not the one."
" you read from our Kenny the numbers are crazy the batting average on base percentage that. The slugging percentage all those numbers it is up the charts. Out. Yet as a catcher as an everyday catcher and and the guy has a pretty good -- to an -- calls a good game. I'll ask you about Minnesota though I mean they did this last year when a -- one game playoff so to speak gets the White Sox and didn't win it. Could you just put them into perspective what are they doing right we know they don't have a huge payroll. We know they've lost a lot of talented players over the last you know three to five years. How -- they consistently putting themselves in position where they're competitive at least in some in and in some cases able to win the division."
" Michael the easy answer and probably the proper and that is kind of a -- the game right. Now what happened this year is my opinion simple -- of the team on of them not being very good. Between are not very good. Back her five month this isn't there were not -- that. There's not much care at all and especially after the law that now aren't creating. Some of the pictures that inclusion -- only reinforce. What we have now certainly is now. Dyer has played who -- that they fall. But more Northbrook based in just the -- it Obama has been a good addition for them. Scott Baker and the red hot and went out slowly. Work them all because they've law. It will be the belt. They generally play at -- it would gain. And even a dialect Cabrera -- One of the war opera the players in baseball. But had solidified them beat them with somewhat but not sure about what bought the and overall you sit there are polls. He just planet right and keeping going not quit. It is made up your year and although more revenues -- point and as you or what should it."
" A funny thing happened on the Red Sox leisurely stroll to the October playoffs they suddenly found themselves. Back in the thick of things I think in the American League east race. How do you think this will affect the way Terry Francona approaches the rest of the way and especially this coming weekend if he goes to New York. Two or three games back in the loss column and a three game series against the Yankees."
" The big question. Of course we're not there yet in Europe but -- today. In Beirut yankees would spread at six. Really the map worked against them in but the way that it formal in pop. Bottom up all of that happening baseball but really really develop the red backed overcome with that the it's different color and I noticed that put the paper they. Do nothing if keep going if you wake up on. Of their next week and back quote make decisions. That you make. But. The most important thing written going to quote -- is not this state is who lines up at. And that will take priority but regret not. It will pick priorities for the Yankees. He should take priority for a repeat that the most important thing."
" I can I don't know how you feel about this and that's why I'm gonna ask you. What your opinion of pitchers like Greinke who you mentioned earlier. Being considered and and ultimately. If it comes out to a winning this are young. Despite being on a drag team. Do you do you say that's that's fine not a problem not his fault that this team is so bad. Parties say because this team is so bad and he's put up impressive numbers he hasn't had to face. Some of the same obstacles that state Josh Beckett Justin Verlander. What have you he has had to face those obstacles that those guys that."
" Michael these are really good question. And the thing that. We've been talking about her awhile there is that in any case that. If they want they're not. They wouldn't want. Them you know they want."
" face the Red Sox yet until tonight."
" And yet they yet okay that's -- the first one. They either a Roy Halladay will -- the Yankees five and the rest -- week. There's a degree of difficulty there. That -- did not experience. On the other hand within the counterbalance that -- Equity it is written that is just horrible. Doesn't get on -- the work and there is an optical there doing had a -- day despite being in the NL central. That a guy like. That is -- the last regret your name -- not they. So because great these numbers are so much better then. Next quote the candidate. Means is that got. If you will quote pretty woman out of the discussion would -- read it and it'll be a very about special. But I don't know that all but guy. But he's been placed or in the competition in the state. There BP -- little bit different a lot of voters include myself consider the quality of things where they're going. Are they -- playing well being amber. I know it's strictly for best picture. And maybe -- have been the best pitcher in the American and this is."
" May be as important to the New York Yankees winning the division may even more perhaps than in getting to play the tigers of not having to go to Anaheim where they can't win. Is getting to choose the schedule and of the two schedules it seemed pretty obvious to me. They would go with the schedule that would be made only have to have three starting pitchers that's how much they go forty."
" and last night was critical in this regard is -- it. What not write -- certain -- really very. I would imagine walk out of it okay. The they would have a problem because drop would have been elevated to number three. Double right now it hadn't helped yet another four and yet it the first round you'd like. I would expect that -- At the same pot as they advance the jail yet. Then stop it does come back in Clayton and in worst part. How in the world and don't expect that this that the quality starter mean war is beyond me it just didn't happen. And it is very fair in my opinion the question Brady -- handled it -- the -- These. Acting out -- there's certain inning that all the different and the Asian. That would follow up have been under similar restrictions. But to -- the -- have handled him beautifully. If it termed it a great with the All-Star break with a link it in any way they could. While no may include you as a viable starting pitcher. Not about the --"
" Assuming that the Red Sox play the angels which team would give the Yankees a harder time in the AL BS the tigers -- Minnesota."
" I would hit it -- is bill that would because Verlander gave them a partnership. Here's three weeks ago I would at that point that the tigers because Verlander and Jack in the human hunters can't. -- Jack has really struggled of late and I don't know that you can expect what -- could be that good. Between have not won it won't eat him alive what about that -- want. There are only seven cents and I believe. They are. Excellent when he read it again in the past three years. Something like that -- you know I just figured it out there today is not good whatever the number it. You know it -- I'm that the this starting pitching is not. The -- that had to know -- not they would be a quick out. Tiger probably would be too but again program during game one didn't feel that wanted to be the dynamic changed little bit. -- nitpicking here were three whenever. I don't expect that he's going through the first round but the tigers have a better shot."
" There are ten to dismissals got my attention this week for different reasons completely different team different situations but I'd still like to get your take. On each one one of them was the surprising firing of former Red Sox Cecil Cooper. Before the season is over what 1213 games of the season name the Astros firearm. And the other one was the OK go home we don't have to come around here anymore for the rest of the season Milton Bradley. Who learned that there is not freedom of speech when you are. Disparaging your employer what what's your take on both of these departures."
" Well the only thing surprising about Cooper Michael what department. It's been common prolong. And frankly at the ovals remained at all or that they at. They could've done it right then. But let me started writing -- that might be the first to go. And the Astros got all talk and -- up about accompany any media pressure and they picked up people -- the development and players couldn't stand them they'll respect warm good guys that played that role. The reason expired now I movement because the owner wanted to become confused before -- all spam that's coming up. Don't ask me to explain great McLean. I do. Bill Bradley is -- much different example or different situation. America -- great at that point. Repeats should be allowed it should be able what they were you want but guess what. You writer disparate there -- and our customers way to Bradley did. I. Would they would on the reason that there would be a problem. This is not a one. Incident situation here it's been building for awhile. He is a troubled guy is the top diet. And I really like -- wanna succeed. But it ought to send a one on what you've done it. Fact that we RBI. You'll by the clintons or position. And yet you're not taken accountability for him now. Lame duck. It being a native Mac -- out is the negative of all it's just at war. I think the cup assigning him with that that somehow it will be different image Chicago -- what that is in the past. I -- Milton Bradley in Jakarta. If you believe there's negativity there yet what he didn't just bark when you arrived at the cut and daughter are few decades. And if it kept silent Tampa Bay won that year on the deal and that would have been an ideal spot. Not much -- Joe Maddon manager. Happy upbeat kind of place. The greater money and the greater."
" So meeting get a chuckle out of the now I understand why they don't win -- have one and a hundred years lie iPhone with the."
" So Flacco the again I don't think -- that and it's not. Just that but but that there are many others. And help out of the game last -- An odd way in what is the book one that he's competition but now what. In the visiting club out at US cellular field earlier that -- I think apparently. And again it all back Milton Bradley not paint it on me. But really yet and they can out of though."
" Truth is not always the ultimate defense. Know it's not. Can we always appreciate double talk you next week. They are Ken thanks Ken Rosenthal from fox sports brought to you by Rockies ace hardware stores the sweet spot for all year. Home paint the lawn care projects Rockies your project simple by. And Miami can insurance it's not just -- you're covered Michael Dell started treated. -- Not Bradley's treatment --"
