Pedro returns to Yankee Stadium tonight

" Yeah. And I don't even know he needs -- dramatic music. Drama is going to be ripping off this thing tonight. I absolutely can't wait it is appointment viewing tonight. Game six of the World Series yankees against the Phillies. But from our perspective more importantly Pedro Martinez again standing -- there will be great drama tonight it's things. This work for you right here that's critical thing. Yeah and excited -- needed to get excited about this one but adds it's working for -- it's you don't need. Not this one for this one now you don't. The yield up one I don't need it -- I'm wondering the folks at Philadelphia there. And -- down on our on our."

" Or lilies they truly believe it. I don't think there you know and and interestingly enough when I -- I've ever said this before. They're not as negative -- New York media. Holy crap where they -- the Yankees. Are up three games and it's doubled in the World Series and they're coming out for game 67. If that it can't -- happens April wins. -- CC sabathia go to game seven and they. The Yankees in New York Girardi you better be right I loved that and lie yeah you better be home. -- well what Chicago -- About not only the stadium. Law it it I it it's comical."

" Reading the New York papers. This whole week has been just funny to read I Wii -- said yesterday the back page of the daily news a 181 million dollars for this. And a picture of to share bristling and missing. I mean they aren't just rabbit in New York."

" You know what I don't wanna bring up I don't wanna open. Rooms that have that authority or or a pulled the scabs off of of one set of that it he'll. I don't wanna do anything like that. But but. But when you look at tonight's starter for the Philadelphia Phillies and -- we don't know who is number forty."

" An event don't broke her bedroom both of them got it right of preparedness. We'll be looking at."

" You look at the starter for tonight's game. And you look at his history. And you look at all the things that he can do. You can kind of understand. Grady Little was thank. Adultery you can count until that you -- not brought up about -- back back to that moment. I'm not about that moment I don't get it I just recently got no brought that up before the game. If you if you look at that game you -- game seven. We've got Pedro Martinez on -- In the game seven and you look at we just we get that the couple weeks ago we look at. This time in Boston it gotten so used to Pedro. That is absolutely can we -- at its. Best as we saw his best two seasons by far sorry Montreal 1997. You didn't see nothin' like yes we I thought yeah you might seem to the best seasons in the history of the diet right we saw 99 and we saw 2000 -- because we saw that. 2002. In 2003. Didn't seem as impressive. As as -- united 2000 -- they weren't. By comparison but they are still very impressive season. The Grady Little has the best pitcher in the game in 2003. In game seven. Enjoyed got a rested bullpen but he got them."

" Well pitcher not only busy day not only doesn't have a rested bullpen which had performed very effectively. In the playoffs up to that point they'd been really good. But he also had numbers which made it very clear to him that when Pedro got to a certain point. He was like a lot less effective. As great as he was when he got to a certain point you've got what you needed to get out of -- you had to move on. And and he just eat and he he spit in the face of of what the numbers indicated. He sealed his doom I mean okay fired before -- got to the dial out but."

" Grady Little it's from North Carolina. Charlie manuals from north -- out and I'm gonna tell. One from north of -- you know from from one North Korea Carolinians Grady he set the precedent. Tell Charlie Manuel of followed the president but to be a little more observance of what you guys don't listen I believe Pedro Martinez. All respect to Cliff Lee all respect to CC sabathia Andy Pettitte he has the best picture. In this series."

" All -- hopefully that best pitcher you know that's the best resume and that's the best picture and in desperate he knows how to pitch more than those guys talk about the art of pitching. Art of pitching I -- I I I agree with that better than anybody in this year unfortunately he doesn't have the stuff to go with the art on tour you. He now has to rely on the art because he doesn't have the stuff. I mean when when -- fastball tops out at eighty miles an hour. And -- facing a lineup at Yankee Stadium with seven left handed hitters the only -- right handed hitters are Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Everybody else is it left handed against -- that band box that -- game two he he pitched really well. I mean I I I give all the credit the world I I actually think that if the Phillies win tonight you won't be because of Pedro it'll be because of pat. I think that if the Phillies win tonight it's because Andy Pettitte who hasn't pitched on three days' rest in the playoffs since 2003. And it's 37 now not 31 like he was back then I think it's real likely he's not gonna have enough to get it done tonight."

" We talk about Cliff Lee being the best free agent Aqua net free agent best trade act was -- right right deadline. But the best signing at the deadline. Around the deadline was Pedro Martinez. Watch is available for -- 38 -- there it is not go to to a two year contract this is what. Charlie Manuel should do to -- that this yesterday -- more and more convinced. -- not get everything you can out of him you're season is on the line in it but do you wanna maxim out."

" And and and have the last inning that he gives you be a bad one. --"

" I love numbers. And I love that I told you yesterday and I love the all the numbers that are surrounding baseball now but I'm saying. If fitness is sixth inning. Pedro Martinez has thrown a 105. Pitches you give him the hell out and he hasn't given up any runs."

" You get him out and absolutely not you can get call you out that is that is predict now what if -- you if you're up six nothing. Seven opens up like that okay if you're up to nothing. And the next thing you know you gotta hit a walk and a home run and he walks off the mound dump three to two Michael it is there's too much danger there when I'm when he gets to that state -- the."

" Hits through six innings and the -- he has shown no problem. It's it's. Zip blows across the board they're up three zip. He's drawn a 105 pitches -- take them out of the game."

" Absolutely. I've seen is there's too much evidence of what happens after that but again if he's up six not the seven -- sent back out. You know you're up by five runs sent him back out because it because it and probably get him out of there quickly enough. But if you're up I run two runs -- happened quickly in that ballpark and especially with all those left handed hitters."

" How about the bullpen. -- I wouldn't of our season is on the line I would rather us west and understand what Grady. Was thinking he made the wrong move obviously. And and two we got two championships. After his mistake even have a job after his mistake he's he's -- he's a punch line. Because of what he did on October your -- 2003. But if my season is on the line and I have a choice of going with. Guy who I think is the best pitcher I've seen in my lifetime used to be handed it over. This one of these puppies in the bullpen -- the companies in the bullpen and let this man do his job."

" How long has it been since you think he was the best pitcher using in your -- Could he hasn't been for awhile okay just Saturday's impact in 2000 that really was no longer the best messenger and again 2003 he was the best -- senior lifetime I've he would you know. As you said those -- Intergalactic years. Quite awhile ago and it's spend at least six years since he's been the best pitcher in the game. Why he -- why do you think that all of a sudden knock on magic mystical lighten in New York it's gonna come back."

" It's always has to do. Is is to get it done for one night I don't think Pedro Martinez can do this for another season I don't think he comes out in 2010. And goes eighteen and four within with a sub two ERA those days are gone. But if you have to summon it for one night. I believe he's -- man could -- It's."

" Possible I mean -- as you say the pedigree is there the history is there -- the resume is there just nobility is still I don't think it yes. He's nowhere near the same pitcher -- your."

" At the same picture but think about this you talk about the the -- box that Yankee Stadium is. All the all the hitters they have one through nine and that lot of bubbles hitters who can who can hurt you. Inning game to -- his problem was no run support. Absolutely it's very well in game -- not as best he could very well. I think he pitched better. Many did in game two I think he's capable of doing better than that."

" I think his margin for error is sold slim. I can't -- because you know he tops out at 88 because he has to rely on dial and whip and and pitching intelligence all of which he's got. In abundance. What is margin there of error is so small -- team misses by image. They're gonna kill it because it's like batting practice I mean you know it it based on 95 -- and -- well you probably get away with it. If you're throwing 88 you missed by an inch chances are much in the six."

" I disagree with that gives you made some mistakes in game two that were not punished I mean the home run for Matt so he was just. A great. But not I don't think it is like it's it's Pedro the knuckleballer where Tim Wakefield misses with a double. Or or to home run I think Pedro still is good enough where he misses on a pitch and it's not going out the ball park."

" Copyright believe me I hope you're right I act as I said it I think if the Phillies win tonight. It's going to be because Pettit is worse than paid if these that's the question mark for me is is Pettit here."

" Pedro healthy bill."

" Say hello to game seven. Of music but I -- inspired these people spartans people who have no they have no hard."

" They have no imagination."

" Yeah I got a break -- out of the doldrums."

" I understand they're being one of the great pitchers in the history of Major League Baseball. They understand what they're watching what they have their Philadelphia what we have here in Boston since 1998. -- our lord."

" The dale and Holley show on 610 W light the fifth minute and let us. Are you doing pop up you know what -- believe anymore that anymore that that it. The tiger --"

" Police that the better talk -- the other thing. -- at least they didn't it happen gets the blood pressure rising."

" Nobody where we're we're mother I'm not. Ready let's although I don't you -- have a -- date we have a lot of listeners got -- I want to talk to be right okay. They're broad -- to the high pitched voice -- they don't get a what you guys like him. -- to consult the bottom 52 it felt so reality it's going those words and music -- they all get together and start walking out on the street imagine yourself on the elliptical. I pulled backwards and it's been classmate. -- OK go go go. -- it's the little one. Okay that's enough not -- I know that's there. I thought it was pretty good not odds that I'm not talking about this yeah that we. Yeah actually we 61777. Died zero."

" Late fifty toll free 8885250850. If you've got a Verizon cell phone you'll hit pound WEEI its recall for all of you guys. Email address dale and Holley lump altogether and one word Galen Holley at WEEI dot com a very quick break we're gonna get right to the calls with -- Maybe maybe Michael's right may be -- just got a 120 that it outside the box daily got to -- all in these situations -- down. -- and Joe Girardi still won this they can outside the box that you're gonna work -- is up three games at -- you."

" Who are you going to hit -- that front that's they don't want kids food players would put take you."
