That's when you come home smell like a brewery with lipstick on your collar and you slap your wife and -- say your next. That's where you're in deep trouble. And I read that somewhere I didn't make that -- and I we don't alienated women out there you know how what happened when women get alienated watch out because they're tougher than we -- Now I'm and it today it's one of those days at the blustery day in Boston and I made a wrong turn and it happened Newton.

You all play baseball he's that'll -- his golf swing right simply going to do so. You on the PGA have a good army can't golf he he would he would Susan -- here and I think went to Giacomo Giacomo as a hot spot it's it's a great spot Dwight -- I asked him this question bill yesterday and I -- because he was part of what I thought to be three very very prolific Red Sox teams the 75 team obviously museum and which which you remember and 78 you remember that team as well both teams it seemed to have at all and 86 asked him which was the best team of three he he had a hard time he could accompany answer. What was the best team of of those three in your mind not having animals the 75 serie a team which of those two team is better 78 was better and 78 and a guy hit ninth minute 30 Cameron's hearts ours are prolific I don't think our pitching was as good 75 we had Roger rat who was like 11 and one out mobile -- And solidified the rotation TO was in his prime I was in my prime. You know wise was probably maybe a year past his prime yet 18 wins -- mutiny all you know why it's a pitcher wise as -- means only -- hit two home runs and -- no inner ball game one the little league World Series. Again -- was a theme yet all of all of his career -- Many turned an iron Mike he's going through good BP. Nears the end of his career right right all end up doing that -- they think 78 though I was just based -- you know obviously -- leaders in the rotation and and Torres joined -- rotation but -- as you said the lineup was -- was with -- seventh. We -- we made the cover of Sports Illustrated early in the year we were way you know we were phenomenal front running team and then we lost nine girl lost the eight straight games the Yankees. And that -- ban there and then they are ball and threw a tantrum and rest is history now you you're obviously your -- the loyal to a fault you know which some of these -- teammates the -- cart both bingo -- a the legitimate beef he was the best pinch hitter on the team -- in addition to be your good friend. He is 881 very great ones of all yeah yeah smoky Burgess and him you can put the great many mode the great pitchers of -- timing -- right yeah it is easy to come off the bench and B rating it. He he came out of a coma we play the Hall of Fame game in Cooperstown. It partied all night he went out slept underneath the scoreboard without a shirt on sunning himself Zimmer found out about it forced him to go up to the plate in the first pitch it's a home run its armor out of a sound a sound sleep unbelievable. Andy the magic moment -- cart and an 88 he's can have a tragic story he's fine and he's doing well -- is no you know he's not going to go off the dependant die a of a drug overdose or any events he's fine. But birdies career a tip off the streets 310 rookie of the year in the national league for the early big red machine in 1970. Trade trade trade trade trade. Has the biggest moment that Red Sox fans really in an accurate to say about -- and -- car -- home run was a bigger moment much. -- some of her marbles first in the big leagues he's with since and that they rooming with Mobil and ski. He's married he's outlook Mimi band or any marries Jo Collins playmate of the mountain the plate in the year he comes and -- skis in a chair with a heroin needle in his arm passed out. That's his first first day in the big leagues all god. -- that's pretty scary reais -- although I saw him at a critical -- and you know trees and on the lord and he says where extremists and I think. Don't know based on that -- Bernie find him it's as if on the Florida again boys -- He goes metzner he let that's all right tell him Bernie don't sign my hat he always says god is love -- as number once -- to a fancy camp with him I call that number he won't accept the call. I think a lot thanks a lot now Bernie and that and that team and 75 words you know where we don't know the greatest World Series game greatest World Series -- ever most people's few people know that you -- get a win Yeltsin get lost that World Series two games with the lead to notices -- throws a 165 pitch game that was the game before dances now -- Maybe you can give it to -- Illinois you do when your in your -- but for the listeners tonight and have them call in talk -- but what exactly was it that. That puts you in such disfavor with the Red Sox that they would take you know a guy with 93 career wins you know hard to find things in the major at least a left -- who can win baseball game at Fenway Park. And basically the issue in that trade for -- what is you you must really (%expletive) somebody."
" The show's not long enough to but the first thing when you're out no -- you have two girls and cliff collapsed cliff is cliff -- the -- writer sees that he wants to go out we view. And it jumps in the cabin everybody jumps out. He's not generate favorably about you you know I had more incidents -- more writers remember Larry -- planning cliff team. At a place in Detroit, Michigan before the three game series in 1972. And they were both drunk and they said you guys don't deserve to win the -- said that to you said that the meeting Gary Peters Peters wanted to kill -- him and he didn't do it and I remember that I mean the writers were so negative so pessimistic antagonistic all of that tar laden but you've got to realize they sat. It -- park they got free booze they got free meals they get free charter flights. They're not going to bite the -- they were on the stole. They don't bite the hand as he did date it was Sasser bait your situation with the management who wasn't -- management that you and other ways was Haywood Sullivan. Dick o'connell of him Mary drank love me Tommy aquila. He died. Now the ball goes to the other side now you got but he Ruth Haywood Sullivan and you've got the yucky trust everything changed when mr. jockey took over tonight fell from disfavor. And I was the player rep and mr. -- tolerated me because he knew my heart -- and -- and I would do anything for the Red Sox I never dissed them I never did anything and when he died. That's when things changed and then when they got -- car boat that was the last straw that and is too often often you UN you have to work stoppage at a one -- work stoppage wasn't going to pitch anyway it was my day off right right. And that's when they came to Meehan said they said bill you don't make policy here we're going to find ya -- days -- how much is that at 500 bucks. And it says he wouldn't they get 1500 give new -- Kendall. On weekends and downhill from -- now the new regime but I tested up with I patched it up with that they would and I saw him three days before he died so that was goods tonight got to go see -- three days before he relegated to that I want to ask you about -- what. Because your your relationship when it was -- I he hates me I have a picture of him on my wall in my house. You do I do it's in Yankee helmet. You know -- sale price I've seen that picture I've got that picture autographed in my house the Yankee war helmet they act as a piece of work detect what did you when he argue. But he what started off that thing I says Samuel only know one thing about kitchen. He went -- bill what's that I said it's hard to hear. Career would reflect the -- he -- manager in of that Saturday 18 night games you yet evident when you implant. That was you'll UN he'd just didn't you were like fire and -- they always send a pitcher home from the west coast of these going to start in Boston and I schism in my typical promises no billiard Michael -- not start. That's where he took -- the rotation cia. -- go and I were taking batting practice and we -- at the ball -- fund and becomes a mini series look at this. He says gardening and Sutton got into a fight. Too nice guys with a doctor's help help that they get into a fight and I says exam once a pitcher once or hinder the Twain shall never make me yet he goes who analysts point. -- our civil most able calling Samuel Clements. So you wonder where he and I got along not. On the margins well it in the pictures like you know the Red Sox and pictorial history Crimea where you're just -- each -- it's like it's it's pretty humbling but now with the new the new ownership. You don't have any of that problem -- guys you -- all the -- to throw out the first -- I told -- that that their -- terrible -- that -- an -- And I can change. Horse feathers and agree. Chicken salad and the -- exactly -- an alchemist they should get me back and I haven't heard anything lately and stuff but this club is in. Definite disarray do you they're pitching staff is old it's erotic. And I'm telling you you've got to have a really good psychiatrist to get them on the field yeah they've got pitching issues and you know. As good as the infield and you've got to admit this -- feel that they put together defensively that was just great the greatest defensive team I've ever and the history of the Red Sox and they did not win right so -- the pitching stinks. I heard negotiate Glenn -- and I agree 100%. That as good as that defense was and is better news as that made their pitching that shows you how bad -- it was because they still couldn't get them with the best tightest in feel of the fence behind the matter. Humble -- walk ratio is to strike out it's gonna go nuts if aunts and does not go to South America dying it is acting news Warner plate winner Paul. For Chavez and get a good contract was sick oily and come back in the that's nine can be iyas. But I don't think -- go. Because everybody's afraid America. They will not leave their cushy jobs but their cell phones and perennials right and Godown in doing it takes to become a major league pitcher. And that's to go to South America and your brains beat him in for a couple years by some real good teams like some really good teams and radiating I mean they -- players down there. You got the young which countries Cuba obviously you've been there all of I've been all Venezuela and all I've been all of them and accept the Dominican Republic and that maybe the best item out of a -- I've been I've been you could take him to saint Martin's and abuse -- began -- walk around make an all time because or clothes they marred. Not that I room it's a great guy we do live show from there -- they can -- show from Andruw Jones. Music he's from the -- right he scores our Ruben Dutch Antilles you know they've got car on zone. You know. For drinks later -- hundreds the Hudson a judge Sudanese I don't judge yeah he's got a -- figure why cute it's easier finding judge departure New York is that why they got an idiot. They'll ignite in -- who is the biggest. Re biggest weirdo. You ever played baseball -- were some where you were known for being a little bit eccentric would look at this persons -- wild act -- is just weird -- falls what was his deal. Falls was the tree was -- two teams -- themselves. -- people out of windows by their -- eat the heads off of parakeets this game made ross' habits look like African. On the -- And there are a lot of weird I mean if that wasn't for baseball prisons would be a lot fuller. -- a lot of guys out there the --"
" You know always the guy raddatz used to talk about -- I even if I knew his name right now wouldn't mention on the air because this story. They were in the bullpen talking about farm animals I guess and and somebody was kidding around with one of these guys saying you know you lived on a -- did you ever you know have ticket with a sheep or whatever. And one of the guys I can't think it was -- none -- black I don't want to mention somebody piped in perfectly seriously. -- feel most like humans now what is that that's talk from liver from a major league bullpen -- just tell -- stories used to dial --"
" A -- most the ball players were from the south in the old days. You know everybody knows you take a sheep up you put him up on the edge of a -- when he pushed back hard"
" 61777 085888525 Zurich request it a couple of phone calls and here's Sean is in -- mansion on your aamodt --"
" Mikey or -- are used on -- become very good look at that I was trying to get even before bill came wanted to -- wanted to sparkle that global last -- show it was the very agitated Julian it was great and and I the -- we said just a couple of minutes -- I've always said there are three reports put -- the tribunal and dom dimaggio played Evans and Johnny pesky probably in that order but without getting too much involved and that's umbilical at the pleasure of playing -- a couple of significance within. And you'll probably want the best coaches out there because by a P three you have -- player quick -- stop and you could tell us what these guys were gonna do and for the most part you're right -- really enjoyable what would."
" Position that you place on"
" I looked catching but under the rules I'll do anything."
" good but Billy you know this yup you come out -- fancy him as a regular street person a civilian and you're going to be soaps or every muscle in your body stretched and source of after the first day. You really don't feel good."
" All the good players become mediocre and all of this or ones in everybody's -- mud at the end of the the end of Friday it's you're right if it's all a matter of getting the right guys out there and and making assured that they enjoy themselves and and you know play hard and and your right thank you -- record store well thank you because I was into the ball game at a Marino got real enemy because he said I was too competitive like try to win it and I said. Well what are we here for -- in every baseball. It's baseball dammit you know you don't"
" playing are you going to be official reports since he can't I."
" Only for the official Red Sox -- they traded me for Sam horn. Catalog gets stamped at a -- with the help stamp that used to -- a -- you know Marino -- intimidated by me because Marino. People -- all realize Marino played for me in the fantasy camp Marino used to carry the bags for the savage brothers. And -- out hell if it kept pretty yap is it is a good quality of play father son and but Marino you've got to realize. He came -- was given -- by the light up by the previous owners and everything -- and I was there way before Marino and I go way back when raddatz I go back with bell like go back with Moses with raddatz. Not rest its -- What you don't talk what -- The Dylan wrote about it but I expressed to give some. You know you know worry he lived in the basement with a white TV and that -- huge hotel chair the utilities -- that's the biggest -- share do you ever sort of -- ran its course and the IQ test -- two years."
" One guy I've ever seen that had a bigger -- and regret it and that -- was Calvin Pickering. The biggest hand in his pants."
" first drew him. Original title"
" is truly are on the old rules but the funny thing about raddatz was we used to get these coasters out for the John hank I games or out of pewter and he would stick them underneath. His chair right as to give its support and it the end of about two weeks he had shot glasses."
" He -- Computer made out of pewter army he weighed a lot and he would sit for a exit for a of that TV down there and watch you know college basketball whatever was on. With a big old Dick captain and Coke yet and and that the chair that he would buy every ten years from so could he wear my out. Would be debate old leather hotel lobby -- the giant ones he'd get on the phone ego Cincinnati businesses -- nine public reported time on saint Thomas. And it was amazing they acted -- that he does love the love sports he liked to have juice on all the time and you know that's heroes -- some I missed the monster -- and -- Hampshire bill you're on the deal."
" They guy. Well -- spending you know -- that you have Mikey all we spend you know 30 seven's going to be Iraq Friday it ought. These great permanent party data also stability is being it's 830% of myself they named civil program director and they -- what Mike Torres."
" I know I was override it jock demos and now I try to cut out -- Columbus and I know flight took a couple of writes that would be here. How to spell the end up in Newton only taken rights and don't know it mattered when on two minute rate. -- oh well no that's -- said it when you're an area with which which we have groceries and stuff. If you take three rights tends to bring him back where -- are but not in Boston and you know that you like this that was going on your head anyway you -- be like Florida cities you have been in 20 years in -- roads it's uncanny well when you're going up last in -- all of a sudden Columbus circles on the wrong side you know that that I did hear it happens -- the best of us and after eskimos and you've had. You know they treat -- right there"
" is that it was a couple of quick one are an earlier vote children first baseman Randall spoke with the whole build our initial hope was that all of the -- open -- they didn't come up."
" It was a better than George Scott though now he was good but -- Scott was in a league of his own he had the softness and he played third remain deeply -- you know Cooper. Was he became a good hitter when he went to Milwaukee but people realize that Nolan Ryan's rookie Matt 11 straight times in the -- could not catch up and not lay off the high fastball right."
" You know somebody festivities like -- this business up."
" One for nine to one for 17 or someone's name on the way and maybe you know honestly bill and bill that that the fact that Jim rice got hit five -- rule. In the last week or so 75 and and the broken arm and didn't play against a team that was loaded with left hated pitchers like the Cincinnati Reds were including -- it -- starter in three guys -- the bullpen. I think that the injury to rice prevented the Red Sox from. Breaking that occurs back in 75 that alone because Cecil Cooper was was a totally horn -- by these guys now it was a it was a mismatch it's a shame you know everybody knows. Rice's second the most viable player. Rice was also you know second to rookie of the year so."
" When you lose your number two player you're -- do you yeah."
" You bring that up but I -- Jim -- what is -- you remember that this book was put up the big school wouldn't -- a field. Didn't write -- the back wall of that senate bill which is based."
" Well he hit a ball past the flag pole that would have gone. Now -- downtown he had he would I saw him checked swing in Detroit and Brokeback and you don't run -- no he never make contact and they didn't call us playing oh yeah."
" That we talked about that last night he checked the swing didn't make contact the top half of the bat -- dog and they and they called it a nose -- they called it not a strike even though the head of the bat went to third base he was strong bill thanks for the call -- Real strong you know his hands mr. handy could feel it because stronger pre steroid era for him but -- of the monument the power what would -- Just to speculate respected if Jim rice weren't the type of player who would have taken steroids was playing in the late 90s what -- done."
" Well -- I don't know -- I don't old what steroids do for I think it's a psychological boost it make you bigger -- any quicker. You know you look at the ball players a long time ago and race. Came up he's as big as strong as quick as anybody was and we all get bigger than we get injured you get older you be put on weight room everybody gets bigger bonds get bigger the guy from -- St. Louis Cardinals pulls -- McGuire McGuire -- polls he slowed down alive he's gotten heaviest and stranger to weaken. You know this guy me EU may have seen the best of rules and maybe downhill from here on out I hope not because there's a guy you know who's averaged a hundred. Thirties first five years I know he's not able yet he's unbelievable but he -- right looks junk -- he looks chunk here he -- lower a line drive went over his head used to catch that we still a great. Fielder on ground ball by hand. You know but as I look at that series -- There's so many holes at saint Louis looks like African Charles -- cheese. You know and the -- it's against the tigers met Nolan has a chance against ties the pitching the only thing that the tigers if they don't show up if a year nervous that they want people. I mean there there the hardest -- staff I've seen along there are good get take a break here Billy's here the space man and we're going to ask about one and one of his -- several stable books he's written. As some of the morning was we're going to talk about that we come back here on the planet Mikey show."
