" Well it is so is it frightening I actually get back in and be able to play in the World Series. This is something I I I -- in my mind and the back in my mind while playing for the Mets. That you know we we can't really tooth or death and in and -- on the gotten all -- I didn't make it with the -- but I yes and that's appropriate time I got the of that and it would with the physics."

" He's pitching tonight started game two which Yankee Stadium. Tell you what you wanna keep the volume up loud tonight she can pick up all the audio the chance and everything else to go on Yankee Stadium. The should be an awful lot of fun tonight maxis and house Redford's in the house. And joining us live -- the -- Kurt -- Curt Schilling. How good was Cliff -- last night. -- don't want it was everything with a bloody sock that's what it was like. Impressive. That all the lineup. To go through that way. But the amazing thing was how many times did he get guys swinging. And a third strike and they couldn't get close to I -- the changes speeds won't won't worked for him."

" Right well you have to throw away you know every talks about first pitch strikes but it it you know I've learned -- promiscuity first the -- a great. Did that the necessities of of the strike in the first two pitches the biggest swing in batting average against is from -- also want strike one ball strikes. You'd be one all of a recruiter for about 01. And and he was strike one -- not strike one he was bolt strike one and you get -- ability he had. Or swung and missed last night and you had -- any start this year. You know what's so a lot and in you know pity you people just exactly how you have to itself and opened and they were they were swinging -- older more than. And amusement in them do but tickets to present them good stuff."

" What does a spike curve ball I was a different than your normal curve ball."

" I'm not sure I don't I mean it could be grip. And then by spike. Your your oh lead your front -- is little you put your your knock on the volatile political purpose. Generally you despite current policy is one that that that. If you look at it from the side it it it is as a corporate kind of spike trailed. It's."

" So occur would you approach straighter tonight Yankee Stadium or say."

" this is good stuff and then you know you just -- right. Sometimes things happen a lot of -- things happen for reasons unbeknownst -- poetry and he's going to soak it in in a very very big way in the of the thing you have to always blow -- is he speaks art. In. These but he does end and you you you know Mac you'll appreciate that and since -- That he get tired at this held during the cliche yes and and they're they're necessity for first some media outlets that. Give me because it speaks from the heart -- if that's the guy who knows you'll be on the field every single time and could never a question PD's commitment. Keep it to what he did for a living and you want about the ever dotted and they'll want a better what I mean this is what they can execute the popular -- years old is that the Mets have eight. Peterson negative to keep yankees in the World Series features held a plot about the in the -- It's good to see it excitement for the game and it's it's turned it into a kind of a must watch World Series that won it last night was cute looking at television critic."

" And then there's no question about that because I think people were freaking yankees it's gonna walk through this morning this is more like an American League team and most of those nationally teams I think for Red Sox Nation. And we since the beginning of the program if the when making six to one. Anybody in New England really care about the World Series now I think it's gonna get a huge number because everybody's going to be rooting. Against the Yankees in rooting for --"

" Well yeah I mean there's there's there's a lot of the subplots in this country and notices if you. You've always heard the players for the most part part players don't keep the game. And there's there's you know individually there's guys you could do without that it would I like -- about -- Buchanan is of these great -- Obviously a very good pitcher there's a lot more guys polite and just like on that seems so. I certainly wasn't brilliant and hatred to that the game for the Yankees in I think it -- up pretty cool and you know unlike cancer united -- at the the bottom that the pistons there's a reasonable now and and and you got a lot of knowing others who -- diehard -- centers for the next 56 and it's."

" So what's your prediction especially with the AJ Burnett he's someone of wild card it it's -- a yeah."

" While I mean this is what we talked about physical on mr. Robin -- You could get seven innings fourteen pot shots and hit out of it it might. You you can obviously I think just they'll likely get three the third seven walks and five -- I mean he is he's that -- wandered out to me that's always bet that's the reason I don't pay 85 million dollars Africa can they can give me. 856 starts in Europe three or addicts. And that there's always then that's secret knock and -- was. You know you'd it is not -- I know lately outlook and then I've always bought from an arms -- up what he's as good if not better than everybody in the game. But he never gotten to that next wobble and you know -- Could be -- could be those times when when he could he could a deterrent accord becomes somebody for the fiscal years but against that lineup it's going to be. Very hard. Repeat not throw strikes -- account and has not his forte it's going to be very hard for the good deep in the Baltic."

" Still on its heels won the thing he has mentioned about you know between the years and it is is that the biggest thing we have great talent. -- you say okay a guy has great talent but he doesn't giddy at the top bring to people can't put the brain with that. With the talent would be on."

" All the people I've ever been interviewed by you -- personal expected question your audience to."

" Volume as but the club different apartment and stretch it into your stick like doing all you don't have got. It was long but that's just animal but."

" You know like you know the answer -- believe -- comedy I played which Albany guys in the coming up from they've always a big league -- Look back on -- that this person platform Nortel and Oliver out. And there are you know they know they're working nine -- at some point before ever getting to doubly hurt a player typically. I did it period big game in a big league baseball. It is as much if not more about what you do outside the lines as what you do in the because if you GDP figures and magic stick everybody has that two to four hours of nine inning game although of course didn't like. That doesn't change for anybody. It's it's the twentieth it's 42 hours between those games what you do it yourself. -- Because let's let the or your county I mean that's how I thought. And you -- I'd like Cliff Lee who you know -- a -- and this is not a pressure packed situation as we dream about and that's what separates guys in October."

" The current candidate will Pedro approach yankees the same way -- against the Dodgers. Whatever it was that ten days ago 87 pitches. If he pitches that while or pitches the same as he didn't act in its yankees -- that that'll be his approach."

" It when it approached pay go approach is going to be paid to capitulate people want to pitch in that the thing that separates Israel from so so again I'll I'll. All -- Matt Matt Mexican give me about what I'll be there were guys that I -- with the people's one of the few that can ever do it -- Because that just in between pitches based on literature reaction and what he saw. I never had the perception -- ability to be that aware on the field the -- move -- or so in the batter's box and you know there's an awareness on the court for a player and awareness on the field for a player that Pedro possesses Greg -- who -- the other guys we can do it I couldn't do. He will be a guy who'll come out with a game plan and it'll it'll be it'll be bill that the skeleton of the game plan won't put together and he'll adjust based on his stuff. The -- How the voters reacting early on what they're aggressive early in the count her earlier -- early in the count and not only will he adjust -- your adjusted execute and that's the big difference. -- lot of guys can't make adjustments some. Some -- we can make the adjustment and execute he can do both."

" Now that he's made the decision to pitch Pedro in game two which Charlie Manuel also approached in the he's bullpen now. As a -- ball on what summary days how to how to -- played differently than many would if his bullpen work let's say active last night."

" On the World Series -- major liberal or keep all its like 5040 in the World Series but some stupid and -- you you. There's no way there's no but it -- think of anybody in the World Series everybody is available every night what you need to. And you I think what he's hoping. Is that given that the weather's gonna be cool it's gonna help Pedro I think in some ways it's -- have a -- typical what are supposed to. Is -- popular primary it's. He could hope to get six or seven out of Pedro at the most that might have to yup from discount -- and commit it just gonna have to have command of the top spot from the -- to write or or he's not gonna be able to --"

" Biggest fear Yankee fans probably have today is there's a possibility that Cliff Lee could pitched three games in the series and how different oh man. And imagine if you get and you got to you know eastern seaboard. Cities where you might even get rain delays and you might get him on normal rest. -- for for three of these games. How is the approach change with the Yankees how does -- have to change what he did inept in that game because they're gonna they're gonna approach you differently."

" Now because I mean again it's also you know using -- like this because some three times in nine days. And -- never I didn't change anything about what I was doing and I can remember being done by the post and comments from them talking about you know trust in -- gonna wake me out worked the count. And and I'd -- I was the first pitch strike that entire year like I was gonna change don't let technical and they got aggressive and I worked the crew worked up a little bit more -- that they were they try to wait it out again I -- think interpret it in -- adjusted three different times. I mean if I think it's far it it it -- little psychological thing in October bad I would argue that -- the World Series is it can -- want tonight. I don't doubt that per second at Philadelphia went tonight I liked it I cannot indigenous art of it of the Yankees beating imported with -- more."

" So -- that is traded on the Red Sox -- show interest in in Cliff Lee Roy Halladay Felix Hernandez. Give me in order guys who would you go after who you want would wanted to copy your staff."

" All the ones. And validate that we. Concerning the verdict I wouldn't you have to -- the other guys but I upon going out at -- that mine I'm gonna have to give up the players I'm gonna particularly to look at the players are gonna epic about the most steals the kind of it's kind of the same next. An eighty year adding -- subtracting a player to that -- But I'll put a horse to pop my rotation because validate Beckett Lester -- to commit a 150 people want to point."

" You know the make -- of Pedro Martinez quite well. He's obviously gonna get all sorts of heat. In a custodian up is he could've just used -- if it did to his advantage."

" No absolutely that's -- you know they I think he's at a point in place and time where he will be. They'll be good with that and he'll be able. From eight I'd brought that looked every bit as business as motivation or is this as the hometown team standing up and yelling and cheering was sent you to people call me. I enjoyed that while that and don't. I would imagine you'll hear who's your daddy want to twice. The right."

" The audio is going to be great tonight format and it can't be now the -- actually to go outside your door here at the a slightly off subject but you know we hear Brad Mills going to Houston we hear about. The effect what he's done with the Red Sox in and his relation Terry Francona how does him leaving affect the Red Sox next year or doesn't all."

" Well it's hard underestimate her are its -- over upstate what he did IB. Did he was the two guys in my career that I've run across that were. There over the consummate organization guys John Malkovich with Philadelphia and and -- the year they -- on the organization. Up from a player perspective from the in the first their capital -- and they're the key communicators from that carries a great indicator that bit you always got to have that these are guys who who you know we. -- A policy here it's all gonna play it tomorrow. I think that's an enormous. Asset that that Brad got exposed to while it is. You'd be able that the coach secretary that it would serve him well Houston. It's going to be -- keeping all how to accept that. You know there's a couple guys in the organization and I know there's there's some guys throughout the league that have interest becoming years while that are real applied Butterfield. Wanna might -- of people in the on the planet it up in Toronto is excited that I opened get a chance to come back out here and they get back interest rates tomorrow -- I'm I'm all the way by the fact he's not the manager yet. But he's a guy like I can't see him not being able. -- job above and beyond. The requirements of the that that would be out of -- they've got a lot of internal temperature that they are strongly about the -- he's the guy who he thought people would scramble a little bit I mean it's. He's going to be -- has -- about thirty years and in if you note Tito and build you already know that you don't make believe level would be. Hell on a daily basis. But it was a it was a game they played from. What they're pressing your college."

" let me ask about Mark McGwire he disappears off the face of the earth for good period of time. Suddenly he resurfaces. Working on Tony Congress's staff now as -- hitting coach. And reports about now the former FBI agents are claiming that Mark McGwire used performance. Enhancing. Drugs why does McGuire come back he's he broke his attention. And -- took this if he were trying to get away. From the attention. That he might create hasn't put himself -- thought of it."

" You know what I'm -- answer it and know bark. And have always. Toward might really super market. I don't know I assumed he was gone forever. From the from the spotlight I -- I assume that's what he wanted that you always very quiet shy guy it to begin with. I don't know I don't ole he's obviously got reasons in that my -- my only hope I don't believe it's the case either of is that he's not too distant past due. I don't believe he does but I don't know so."

" Just -- he really strange unit of oil jobs to take you're gonna be out on a ball field every single day we want easiest one extreme to the other exactly -- around the batting cage every day asking those questions. As these stories continue to surface. That's gotta be a more quite you don't. -- yeah and anybody."

" It's you know what I -- could have brought the question I gotta believe the fight over Mark McGwire is gonna be testify at -- question I'd prefer not -- You know I mean you're gonna get out the -- early on and he will eventually set the tone for the rest of the year for the media. And and and you'll have -- you'll you'll have your smart -- reverend element that will try and make Atlanta himself quite. Give it the church. But that I think the -- is gonna have to clear the -- into retrieving. If you want to have it because could be an immense disservice to the team if if every every day before persecuted schedule the players to ask about wire."

" He has to do something that's the big I don't know why is he is kind bat. I bet the most B Brett ousted -- want to do is go away but what the Obama do if you want a player he does what does the LC does he want to -- vision for the rest is light. I mean he has. The O'Reilly that the only way you'd go like that all the way -- clear the air is to come out and do something Indian people soon -- get -- right now because he's a mystery people right now want the knowledge they tried again and do you -- it is godaddy oh goodness."

" I had to two point backlit that I think what that it Likud still have his or is this coming out pressed competence retreated. And if it's a final -- he'll make sure that that trust number two addresses issues and concerns in -- questions so it doesn't drag on the entire year. Because I don't imagine he'd wanna come back as a coach and spent nine months of the urgent questions he's been away from for all the time."

" I so the bottom line Phillies -- tonight it's over. Right -- we'll party down the road to their courage Curt Schilling brought to you by dragon naturally speaking speech recognition software. -- do want to win -- Wait for my friend Joe wouldn't check him -- has objected to. Signal disappeared how about frank from Boston. We did hear from frank but amazingly focused only 211 but it did you know much of the Yankees just the -- South Korea -- over. So on the bad words Celtic."
