" It's."
" It's."
" No it's."
" BS now I'll I'll sit down the star of stage screen and Comcast in Philadelphia. Michael -- joins us on the fault lines are these Bartlett hey -- do you Gerald yeah. How are you -- everything. Now what we're not we're not as relevant as Philadelphia is right now you know you are happy when you know it Rollins thing what Jerry -- the first hello John how are you feeling I'm -- concern. Five weeks out of a Boston Marathon and then in April super -- and you didn't if you don't that it will know you will yeah okay good and ready I'll be there with you okay I'm in. -- ago. The other night you know allies and -- when I was in Boston of one of the Boston teams to win every gamma unabashed about that is based Yankee got to say so what I think -- of the late jokes and obviously your -- to capitol late show big national and you you you want to do you have a couple bought him back. Watch the games get all excited."
" We don't even watch the game but because I. Yeah definitely it is you know I bought a box. I hope -- makes altogether I hope you baseball team lasts at least one more day because that basketball team let's look well you know what we have to get in the that the market would just -- and possibly -- and yet you're -- a basketball now the real sports is still sport playing you know that's true and how much is -- I wanna know is. We we -- there's no reason on strictly a baseball term objectively in your plea. To think. The Phillies have a chance but they do have a chance because of Pedro because of the vagaries of baseball because the block peer pressure is on the via the home team tonight. Which way you going to you got a good feel bad Phelan I."
" I don't have a bill and Jerry I don't have -- we're just talking before we went Osama attraction so I can see is where Pedro shuts them down as phenomenal. And they beat the the Yankees eight to two similar with the score was the other night but I can also see Pedro coming off the field. -- his hands of saying we're gonna say yankees are my daddy again you know and it it all depends on how it goes. I think what the Phillies have done. Well is is they have hit in tough spots and that the other night when you're displaying that was game for the NLCS. They were done we're talking about going and going the full ride for that and they hit in tough spots whether it's Utley whether it's it's. The smash the fourth finger but that the big concern is Ryan Howard because he has been hitting at all and I don't know that he's gonna get off the night tonight."
" Have you seen anybody any athlete in any sport in all your years go from the pan out for the -- to lose it so quickly. As Howard have for the NLCS to this."
" No women you know you I guess maybe a rattle bitten that he did EWE always -- yeah but written not a regular season now I think any -- stuff from round around. He's on drugs but no I don't have a I I don't have any theories at all I. -- just make weight loss it finally war odd as that of the weight to carry administrate the glove and into October I don't I think baseball is the most mental of games -- really have to be right in your head and I think when you cross that imaginary line from an obvious that an LC -- the World Series. Each time the pressure gets turned up a little bit and if you can't find your swing and -- can't find your way real quick you're done. Sometimes guys get out of Chase Utley was not hitting we'll start the series he had a great game one and 234 -- hospitals and -- actually 23 was stuff. And -- body starts to come back who goes from hitting 200 finale in 333 so yes it can be done a -- is the same thing. Pedro Feliz who was awful the last two games he's been okay so. You know it it it just depends on the player and I think right now Ryan Howard is just lost them there he cannot find his swing he's guessing -- pitches. And he's he he's being crossed up and how many times you see objects -- And only were to be called a strike in all mansion taken."
" It on the top of my head -- if he looks like David Ortiz did in the first yeah into the season appeared the difference being. Ortiz had some -- lucky -- a couple balls hearted people. He had a lot of warning track power balls that normally would drive about the got to the warning track and ball that he would just missed some pop up I think I think Howard is much further off. Then David was in in."
" In that sense I agree what what he sees tied a record for strikeouts in the World Series got twelve strikeouts early you know that the -- I just can't see him. Figuring the whole thing out he's got a he's got a routine that he does every at bat and you think well that's gonna give some sense of of center. But it hasn't so far and may be going away again to Yankee Stadium maybe that'll help map we'll tell us what happens."
" We're we're gonna give Pedro the W. Tonight Mikey we're just optimist here you know us tomorrow night Cole Hamels. I need to know did Brett Myers do this on purpose is he trying to wake picking up -- Iowa and other friends is he trying to. It kind of slap them across the face they are relatively yet I'd like his wife."
" I don't though nice shot I don't think that -- is that smart I really don't I think Brett was just walking by. They were having Cole was having a conversation with less that you dealt with one of our anchor reporter at sports that it was like the two of them there was there were work. -- other reporters around 88 feet ten feet away was the closest reporter. So less -- heard and witnessed the whole thing Brett Myers walked by says hey I thought you quit this team. And and Cole Hamels says bleak view and and -- Myers kept walking that was it there was an altercation in have to be bald pulled apart. Nothing like that. And that's what happens because it goes to the national median also and it comes back into the clubhouse. And reverberates and in this guy's already had enough trouble trying to throw a strike can get a curve ball across for God's -- He's an even more trouble I just think sometimes guys and and and and we've we've seen it throughout our careers guys don't know when to keep their mouth shut. And Cole Hamels is one of those guys unfortunately when you're asked -- question about what happens that this is your last start of the season you don't say I can't win for it and you know say that I was gonna do if he takes the ball c'mon I -- to start game seven biggest game his life. What do you expect problem honest to god I think he's gonna do great initially I don't movie if he can go complete game I don't know can -- even five or six but I think initially. He'll be fine I think you know that that change of of his is still awesome. If you start to go to the curve ball too much and he gets slapped around. But I also think Charlie Manuel will have a very short leash and you're gonna see that you're gonna -- with with in the are you gonna CJ happen there. You're gonna see much even as he's gonna throw the -- game sevens so. You're gonna see everything I think it'll be so I hope there is a game seven because it will be a slugfest. And year old pal Joe Kerrigan you know member yeah joke geocities that this is like he has this is like Frazier Ali uses it tonight Titanic. Series two giants of baseball just slug of each other and I agree with that and I think that's why it's gonna go sevenths."
" if you believe that game seven tomorrow night if there is one will be an all hands on deck -- situation admirable managers will have no. Compunction about taking people out moving people around -- and and changing pitchers who suspect that as a result of that idea they Michael -- repeating in bed at tonight."
" Maybe maybe even but I think you know -- damned if he doesn't vanity doesn't yet as many people -- against the Dodgers that PD should've gone longer -- did right they put the relievers in the bullpen been suspect. For the the them most the season actually and certainly middle relief -- not Brad -- directly and so I think what they'll do is. Bill -- I think they'll go that way you're gonna see Pedro go for as long as he can if you start to falter. Trial is gonna come out and and get them."
" You know let's we try to analyze who's gonna last longer who's -- the other one PD or edit. My sense is that in the yen after the might that might be irrelevant we might see both of them leave the game somewhere in the fifth or sixth with a score somewhere around 54 or 65 and then turn it over -- bull -- and see what happens after that."
" what's the final score that's 1510 big guy and right units on the opens so so it and that's the other thing you just can't figure out because the Phillies bullpen throughout the early part. Of the series had pitched pretty well Durbin has pitched well. And and and then becomes in the other and -- Madson pitched well and then they come in they give up moments for the Yankees in game four and it's both public but. You know. That's what you talk about the vagaries of baseball you'd just don't know what to expect in and that's that's the greatest part of the game I think we'll Cliff -- come out of the bullpen. On game seven. Yes I think he will I think that to me. I think Cliff Lee could have gone on short rest in game number four and and there are a lot of people with suspect here the Charlie didn't start in game four waited for game five. Either way to start lead for -- winds and Blanton in five V loses he still in the same spot because you already lost game three's that's the way that ghost. So the only shot to me was if you consider clip lead of the year automatic and he has been for the Phillies this season the one that -- you know want to let him go on full rest. When he's been pretty darn good he's never gone on short rest never once in his career -- full with that the World Series were -- been okay."
" Where do you expect -- to stay in Philadelphia next year obviously biggest free agent on the market. Do you get the sense he's -- he likes it there than he'll give them the best chance that the Simon and stay there."
" I think I get the sense that he does like it I get the sense that he Steve -- and who you know people started throwing out those comparisons when he first came over. Because it was like thought for a four hour five and -- when he first came over. And enable -- hold on let's not go there have been you know what. He is as close to a lock when he takes the mound as anybody in baseball and I think the Phillies would be foolish I think they realize that I think they'd be fools to let him go. Now if big if he's talking crazy money. Well you know I'm the -- you can't break the bank I don't believe in that break in the bank for one guy unless he's got you know. 67 years left in his career pitched that way and another Cliff -- does but if he wants five years. At that money that's it that's that's crazy that this not that crazy I certainly would do that."
" Well we're talking with Philadelphia's favorite sons who yes Comcast Michael -- with a Michael you would know the answer this question and Jerry and I were -- an answer on yesterday and we don't so -- the -- for personnel and our little knowledge you'll notice I'm not sure -- eagle fans and Philly fans the same people."
" All that's a great question IQ no way no way I think I think that. Phillies fans are much more family oriented Phillies fans are much more let things roll they walked on two legs right the other off right now -- it is exactly right and I think Eagles fans -- I think many fans football fans in general when you -- one game week in and you'd you know you're plot and at a large party of today. Two to buy tickets and you're gonna tailgate and that just brings that yes some nasty stuff sometimes. Certainly it does in New York certainly doesn't Chicago Philadelphia is no -- and then I'm probably. With a would world championships in Super Bowl championship to Boston probably there as well when you have time to elude them for game yeah is that sometimes it gets a little bit nasty and it."
" I think I can say without fear of contradiction that never in the history of journalism. Has -- been a bigger misjudgment of what will be and what will not be a huge story. As there was of what we anticipated Michael Vick getting back into the NFL would be and what it's turned out to be your thoughts on that."
" I think that that one they never should assign them to if they're gonna sign and then use them. The right way three I think it's only a matter time before you start grousing and says. You know I want out but I I do know this that there are many people that won't watch that team I'm talking about guys to. Heterosexual guys who love football but also love their dogs as like you know what I am not watching this team until we get rid of Michael Vick because it's disgusting what he did those. Poor defenseless creatures now Tom I'm one of feels he pay I'm a dog lover and a dog owner I feel like he paid his due. There have been look fewer and fewer protests in and -- and cries of of you know get him out. Then there were when they first signed him but I remembered you know where was when. When they signed him was during a pre season and I remember thinking behind wanted to -- this I would date. And and if you look at that wildcat formation they don't use him. As a quarterback in their formation and that's that's what I understand he's thrown the ball a couple of times but why not use him to his vote if you its deception."
" Right up to provide an answer event here read this organization is going to go to the drama of bringing this guy on the team. I understand the protest war what most people expected them to be but -- aggravation of the distraction of bringing Michael Vick in and all the comes with that. Why would you not at least attempt to use him to help you win football games --"
" And an end many thought that last week for the giants game was a crucial game for the Eagles after the giants that. Maybe was gonna like rocky go into the left you don't mean that that that that all the sudden they would break Michael Vick in a manner. Before I used that he be thrown the ball right orbit data need to do that because they just -- them right off the bat I put thump. I know you're a big a night he and night all the time yeah McCarty RC a mile is the high profile presence in Philadelphia. He's of the dog fights regularly -- of those who got you all the time all of I don't -- unmarried and no children is not not a problem -- you know I've not seen him out. He has -- and I should say this in fairness. Every week he goes to a school and and talks to young children about. You know dog fighting how and how terrible it is and and it's keeping clean and doing well in school. And that's all well and good but he I still think he gets it. He still into the you know the most stupid thing in that it was cool. And and I I don't know what could have possessed me within the depths of my sold to do anything like that he didn't get into that which I think is fundamentally the problem with him."
" As best as you can tell Michael Barkin what is the relationship between Vick and McNabb I mean obviously publicly it's gonna be okay. -- they like each other does does Donovan was sent his presence on the team what."
" No love Donovan does for his part he says that he's he's the one who orchestrated Michael vick's coming to fill out a lot right right well cameo and he said that publicly and this seems to be more more of a disconnect between what Andy Reid says. And what Donovan McNabb says and and win before. It used to be McNabb get with the program and -- yep whatever coach says bright if McNabb sees that something's different. They'll say so. And and so we came out and I brought Michael Vick in this that and the third -- wanna hear that if she's in my own home. With my own sons being incarcerated etc. I you know I saw something in him that I -- redeemable. And Donovan came out and says on the one who pushed this on the one went and the united some -- flat out lying. Then there there's gotta be some truth to that because apparently Donovan meant toward Michael Vick or Vick came up the Syracuse -- and we're deciding to go to Virginia Tech."
" All right simple question will there be a game seven tomorrow night there will JD Colorado Ohio yes Phillies -- problem nice I promise you really -- you wearing your -- pajamas -- am I it would have been big. -- it -- I think you're gonna win. I don't think it's gonna be close either. Let's guess what kind of dog barking halves."
" I know -- and there are problems that revealed later. A lady John from these are you gonna designer dog -- appears to later. These John -- Asia that's that's pretty good is would be John Poodle mix. All."
" All six. Those were we've Havanese rising and the -- so you so you -- country. Yes that if it does not recognize this famous always and it changes -- am -- my wife calling I gathered at. I don't have time to do the nails -- that I -- this -- is going -- Schilling said that you would be best. Guy. For charities and charities he's in -- monitors Philadelphia's that you were just. Tireless every night hosting a charity events that still wicket he still so in security key it to suit home. The ticket."
" You people. You live belong to do your own -- forget it I'm not held video. Now do they can't. I feel a you know them I'm sure those who -- the two of you do I I feel but I feel blessed to be able to do what I do. And it's it's -- we have to sit around talk about sports all days so someone. Thinks that I can help them I'm happy to do whether it's analysts. American Cancer Society bring the outside world inside item you know I try to do well what are you involved with."
" Under god doesn't say just -- Brothers and zealous fans say the market just of the map here you have a you have a fourteen years in Philly is that about right. --"
" this way they treat me very well in Philadelphia -- Philadelphia as well my kids are grown up my wife from here my folks in my mom now is is is an hour plus a way. So that it -- to Vienna family how important family is the boat you all right Gerri."
" So when you -- out of Philadelphia would you go out to dinner with your lovely wife yet is -- the paper the next day Barkin was spotted at such and such a restaurant -- and eight this is that it is the DMZ cameras nowadays this gases are c'mon."
" Now I stop calling them. That at least. Panama and -- hockey so big in Philadelphia let me -- gives his money to him to advance so -- not and I can't food is that you know -- Immediately let -- be here it's I'm -- at some point. You know. That's on the is on the trail always look at some point but that -- is -- things are things are great in Philadelphia it's a great city and it's it's certainly similar Boston I think there's a little bit more except the Celtics don't suck. You know what it feels good -- just different. Almond joy and root for the Phillies now I've ever run side by he'd ever wrote -- Philadelphia team in my life well tonight maybe I called up email wolf via you know. The rights and I wanted that Red Sox Phillies matchup as long as it was one of the original old old time teams via one of the olde town team. To be easier against the Phillies it would have been awesome. And way. And in the fall we it would have been incredible."
" And just you know Michael you -- are rooting interest in Philadelphia and Pedro tonight even easier. By explaining to us at Philadelphia fans are not eagle -- answer is we got."
" Enough chance that it did an excellent that they are not but you know if the -- that it -- that patriots and their chances to get back consumable yes quite -- good yes I think the Eagles may be looking at a suitable parents it could do. Because this NFL is so messed up -- affected the Eagles could a loss that Oakland the fact that giants could lose three straight after going five and -- I think anything can happen some -- for Eagles patriots Super Bowl. And then you'll feel the -- you know I don't quit and walk the streets with those the end adults and they could will be before before you let me go home and -- me which is I never will forget February 2005 Gerry Callahan and daily news live on the saint John's river in Jacksonville. -- And but that's but I saw we needed to Andre Dawson. Don't which you vigorous -- your -- we don't put your best I could go to segment who had my back -- treated idea -- back from the field you would clubhouse."
" Michael bar again Philadelphia is so. Superstar sports nice for the time mission to a good talk and -- good -- like 1 o'clock to your affiliates -- and -- it mostly the Super Bowl -- all right Michael bargain but Dennis and Callahan will be right back."
