Long awaited Celtics season is finally here and ace as your tickets to all the games at the garden. The best seats in town called ace tickets at 1800 my seats that 1800 my seats or log on -- ticket.

Well you play but it -- we have yet. Do you think it's I mean you expecting papelbon to do anything unusual here tonight."

[0:54]" Our what -- I would imagine that. That you know we expect him to do something brother normal for him. -- superior speed to creature would be a mutual."

[1:08]" Which one you wimps didn't want to go out on the water 'cause they've blamed on the -- said the boat's going to go on the water but the -- didn't want to."

[1:15]" You know I don't think it'll give it -- total player -- idea of -- I opened yeah I don't think -- because I heard we were knuckle on the water well before. I think we all knew about it."

[1:29]" We can't you have the goggles Harrelson and part Murton or rip you figure out of the that the that the and -- I'd be interested in in your observations comparing and contrasting. All four -- 7 obviously different guys different feeling"

[1:49]" they are out there a different feeling and bloodied elbow -- where residents these are like my kids there are unique and special incredible on their own way. So what no one is not any bigger than the other and there some of them were incredible for very different"

[2:05]" when you came here in 2000 ankle wasn't hurt as much these days right next step at a what when you came here in 2004 did you think long and hard before you made the bold statement that you were coming here to win a World Series having you know you wrote a pretty big check that. But a lot of people were sure you can cash."

[2:21]" While I I'm not sure that I start thinking about what I was saying and then then being smart about it until probably couple months ago I mean are right. I had never had a problem right most protectionist sense that it -- about it myself eat you you've been in the district to perpetuity got to point five guys -- going to. It was special things happen happen -- there are are believed that this that was going to be a part of something special this didn't what exactly plan on being poisoned for years."

[2:55]" You know did you think after you won your game it was pretty much a done deal did you feel like. That there was no coming back from that -- will lead."

[3:03]" No -- in the form replied I think we're at a point for a week we never which we. We didn't have that temperament we didn't have a personnel we never took anything for granted we played. You know Terry Francona has managed seven games that -- winner take all do or die you know. What are called. Down down 3 for the Yankees. And down 31 to Cleveland and we have lost get most situations and our -- temperament."

[3:33]" You know you talk about the personality of the team others have as well special field in the clubhouse how do you guys have their backs each other's backs and -- can can can that be disrupted by the addition of one guy because I've been talking you know since. Boris decided to break into the World Series game four and say hey -- guys opted out from the New York Yankees it seems to me the bringing a a base draw that would stir the drink like -- into this call balls -- for whatever reason good veteran different changed that feeling that personality you're talking about."

[4:02]" Well it would it would change something I mean -- Bob -- guy and for boring on what 30 million a year. There are going to be but the dynamics -- co -- going to be about a different because you know there's going to be a lot different focus on on. On everything and end but you don't -- as a team of incredibly strong personalities I would have a very hard -- and -- and somebody come in here and slavery the clubhouse atmosphere. To anything other than what it is now because work were very adamant about keeping people waited. Immediately as a manager very adamant about it remaining consistent and it's because sticky -- that it that scale. There would be problems and I am not really turn it I don't know while not I don't not overly Nomar we all oh I don't know that there will be a lot of resistance as that anything that would change is about some extra."

[4:54]" You know Scott Boras and in the past you medically -- a big fan were you surprised at all that they tried to steal your moment Sunday night."

[5:03]" Well I don't think I care I don't think we care I mean you know also what the care to but it wasn't unexpected. You know I mean. Then in between them and the Yankees trying to you know make history that we your updated every 15 minutes about what they're actually going to name their manager because to give a crap I mean you know. Bottom line was they're they're playing golf and recorded medical decisions were -- play against."

[5:26]" Hey -- down three games to one the Cleveland I heard a little bit about a team meeting that Schilling and Ortiz called it sort of lit a fire changed the direction -- public course may be can get as best you can can you. Give us the tone and tenor of that meeting."

[5:41]" Well I it was something that some -- call -- a mighty mighty early Apollo really was that. This becomes a lot easier. And it's for those few guys that were here in 2004 can remember this and those that weren't need to understand that this becomes a much easier on decline. When and you do what it is you're supposed to do and you focus -- quality utility can. If we go out tonight and we beat these guys in the first that a then we went and we beat them in the second inning that we -- one anyone out what it's an apartment and you know everybody was -- have to make a move naked contribution regardless of of slot -- service and -- problem help themselves you know. -- honesty. But it really came down to one pitch one out one -- want to out of the time and they we played that way there wasn't a team on the planet that could be us. And a lot of not reliable Arctic power -- If we stick with ourselves and we played became that we were put together apply to -- team on the planet that they could -- replicates pitching hitting deep into the matter. And you know weird that it that there is couple of guys that big but it was just warm out of -- Organic are not go well it wasn't a squad player in the partly to play and play in the regular."

[6:58]" A scale of one to ten current ten is you're here definitely without a doubt one is -- Where does your where where does your head in your -- like right now."

[7:09]" what drink yeah or or what I want."

[7:11]" What do you think what do you think's going to happen I know what you want I think I've. Always Martin's friend and the fans what what is as well I want it how how. Has winning the World Series pitching well. -- you know contributing the way contributed leading the way you lead how does that change the dynamic. Of your relationship here in your chances of coming back from say 23 weeks ago."

[7:35]" I don't know I IE I've been wait too busy tired and then not awake enough the last word -- to it I'd just at all. Them you know there's there's a part of -- considers. You know -- physically I was at the end of my rope this would be the ultimate way to walk away the ultimate way to walk away I don't become there I really think that the best thing would dutifully go out and have and other special year aura wouldn't come I mean but. You are there's a lot of little things you know -- obviously one of my big concern now is that -- Ferrell could be on and that's maps to. But are there any kind of happened because move well be imports that he had on me this year spirit is doubt that he so you know they -- it's it is. -- acting there aren't aren't I'm sure we'll talk next couple days weeks whatever to get a feel for where regret it where -- what we want to do."

[8:38]" And and -- the asking price the same as that remain unchanged"

[8:42]" you know I haven't got beaten out but it doesn't and there's really not until it can't."

[8:46]" And -- did in the 23 year deal the reds are no I don't know I don't know that not to deal at 13 million you wouldn't you know I want in or -- deal gets into it normal grip. We use that the exclusive negotiating period will you and the Red Sox take advantage of that -- you will. Go to I don't know --"

[9:03]" I don't know they are you I would have probably amount to little while for -- over the next couple days -- you know I mean I don't I know but it where if we don't like hearing nowhere we've we. You know we have what we have on our radar as far as where we might well we might go no urgency for in my mind. But to our shoes if they want to just cut in and took down pot and that's them more that we -- the --"

[9:31]" you're you're you're veteran matter respects including what's going to happen sometime mid afternoon and I'm wondering what's the drill. When you guys part company today and you know that a handful of guys you just been eight months with that won a championship whip. Won't be back into what you want those guys will want."

[9:45]" Brilliant idea I actually broke out a pad of paper in the last couple days wrote the letters. It is his people here just to -- because it -- it's very very realistic chance I won't play them against -- usually it's just you know the most of these guys are coming back in on most of Nomar and Kendall then and they're the guys that you know that Pavel potentially. What started that leaving that won't come that might not come back they know -- in. But also the guys that usually everybody's consensus believe. Because it brings so much to the table here others do when you talk about the non core guys and non didn't net he's still but it -- the Clayton to the world most of the guys that make this stuff so therefore. Bomb and Korea and that's going to -- kind of bittersweet."

[10:35]" So did you write the letters and you hold them until you find out whether it's official or are you started pretty cute and it is that you saying goodbye because you think you might Lieber pretty sure those guys relieving."

[10:46]" All the -- that -- from my perspective I'm I'm I've -- that this could probably be looked remotely with them is there."

[10:52]" You -- Farrell is the next manager of the pirates."

[10:56]" I hope not -- what I think he's sold qualified for that job. I don't feel acquire part of Georgia right now but as a general manager type -- I mean you know -- are my hope is that he loves being on the field so much. They wrote being a teacher in the open so much and that he loves the culture that a -- ago but I would imagine that there is going to be a little bit of a bit more. An -- you know I I hope that they and I think there were talking general sporting -- To this team and you -- beat them for some of these guys its you know but it transition just -- world. But they are awfully don't know -- do that -- keeping."

[11:36]" Do you think. Coming back next year Mike -- is appropriate is is probably filing for free agency. Probably get a free agency hell we know what team you know 300 miles to the -- needs a third baseman desperately"

[11:51]" I was actually very surprised that Michael didn't buy his own yet read activist exploding when they run announced it. Why -- result because of a player quotes cheating predator run up develop."

[12:04]" And but he's got. We don'ts seemed to think of him we don't -- him as a teaching kind of guy --"

[12:09]" And I I I great theater part. You know what do the map when you're free agent and the Yankees are not only in America part now one of the potentially most -- suitors. The price changes. Weather weather for the price changes -- that that's not a bad thing in the interest for our program so you know."

[12:32]" I don't like pretty I'm unlike you he's never said I won't go there. I won't play for the."

[12:37]" I had read or did not do that I haven't I've been these you know -- inkster creativity came from the Yankees systems so I would imagine -- absolutely some interest and again this is probably be your last big contract you know and then he's look at retarded deal that the that he's -- that that it is important work. And you know unfortunately he made his work here extreme --"

[13:06]" Current -- to speak for Mike Lowell but just as a general discussion of a baseball player's mentality one in particular the go to free agency when you weigh all the things that make you when your family happy about it."

[13:16]" Then you got -- I can't imagine that he can aspects I can handle not really don't know what his prospective business."

[13:21]" You cannot -- ask you for his August asking you. Win win baseball players have as much money as many of them have put way that they and their grandkids whenever spin how do you look at I don't know fourth your."

[13:31]" I had about an Achilles it to my -- what I hope we talked about does not I mean. My view in my opinion that is is these are in the final opponent it's not right or wrong it's smart and when you start getting a good discussion you start making people. Put put somebody on the on the on the side -- the other it's not that way he might Michael's going to make the best decision for I can to try. Promise you go to -- the best decision for Mike Lowell and his Bentley. -- that decision is you know I don't take that Michael -- But the same time Michael what -- in -- here whatever you want. It is doesn't have to be there in the right then so I think he's going to get a deal that that know -- to look at and go wow debate over paper here it is going to happen he brings so much a table. On both sides have been but I collapse of the part that all these people now that world that like gut -- we take that contract in the third document but -- well. There's great trading Miller all -- okay we don't respond or just mixed it up."

[14:32]" You know what it is is our perception from a distance of Mike that he that he -- it is not the personality needs to milk every nickel out of whatever team decides to go to. I."

[14:42]" Well I -- he's not PP greedy now right. But he -- below bureau at that at east peace on the alternate pitcher leading scenario for position important. Other -- the fact he's not tenure -- Is he had a monster year won the World Series and -- PP well capacity heavy peak. -- Juan. And it's -- deserves everything he gets."

[15:08]" Actually what if what -- what if they came do you and said you know we're considering your agent everything else. We'd love to have you back for half of what you're making now. That's a million dollars a month. But don't I don't I I thought kind of thought that was the answer just tell me why why."

[15:26]" Because I I think ever write to to to be culpable singled that you know I don't think -- do that either I mean you're you're on the hypothetical -- it wouldn't happen so it's really coming out there."

[15:39]" And I'm kind of drive on the point that it's not about them in the --"

[15:44]" About the money but you also understand to a certain degree heat contract and that made it our contracts -- and its impact on the rest of the market. I mean big because -- welcome while they're six if I argued that it's a very small -- apart there's the small amount it was possible the players association on my hand there are either of them -- in the process in time -- can't do that currently you know whatever. Right -- but but it you know I'm going to sign a contract I'm happy with the place I'm happy and -- that the plate and Abby is here. So don't they can't -- except that I typically sit. You know I would decided but I would imagine we would eventually get that the only side you know and then that's why there's -- no rush on my template but."

[16:28]" Who is. A lot of -- others this gap it's just between his house in Fenway Park both happen when -- about it most people when they get a raise -- new deal at work. They like buy -- move to a bigger house to get a better we saw in the is a mandate that that that they have long since he's all the players have long since left that stratosphere. And you wonder how do today. Think that new deal affects them I mean does Michael think want to get this new deal say it's for you 60 million something will happen in his life. No I anything I think it's just distort scorecard their minds it is that's true but in what way does it affect them it doesn't affect them but it -- it isn't -- guys like like colonel likable. It it doesn't ever effect may mean even the rest of their lives is just a strange abstracted fans have trouble I'm glad I brought the colors are."

[17:17]" There's -- director at the pressures extreme. Eric -- the competitive nature of the guys in your business play into the scorecard that is the dollar sign."

[17:27]" To hear it you're not can be partly absolutely unequivocally never has in my life survivor been bought out what my salary -- like compared to other people's final had all the and I'm I'm I've always thought that you know. I make -- it would compete with the guys that are in that area I'd never ever. Ever looked at it giving you happen this in every element because everybody says Corey. You know he's right here on which means he'll pay whatever but I never -- that that there are guys that do I pick a lot of them do but I you know I I. Kim had never thought about look at like that."

[18:03]" obviously whatever amount of dollars the Red Sox pay you with they pay you they're going to do that for your pitching contribution this baseball team next year having said that I'm wondering in your estimation is there a veteran. Value -- Curt Schilling in that clubhouse on that in that dugout with you know join the work ethic preparation techniques of Leicester to buckle was of the world."

[18:25]" I think doing this and that -- personal but you know what that's somethin' but do that I have nothing to do with the spartans. It is baptists if they have to believe they have that they get -- really matter."

[18:36]" My guess is that -- would agree with that that that he wants to learn to talk with -- and and became a better pitcher in small part because of your problems."

[18:45]" God I can't match that I cannot say it's always been you know it's always been kind of an issue. We talk about anything like this but that that took the apparent to the people ultimately get it would have to -- the -- that matters and that the fair about it."

[19:00]" A it's been said by me and others that Daisuke had a better -- first year in the American league than Josh Beckett did. Do you think it's any chance of Daisuke has a as good a second year in the American league as Beckett did."

[19:13]" I absolutely perhaps you're talking about a guy who literally. Is a few small correction fixes changes where are callable away from from one and you know 40 point five games a question in eagle yet. The reputation and you don't do what he did -- over there without being possibly make adjustments into the barber."

[19:33]" When you win when when you won say -- 4 when you want an Arizona. In the immediate aftermath is generally two different feelings like in in you know with the patriots it's always they're going to do it again next year. As opposed to most Super Bowl champs who get dismantled I mean in baseball do you look at it right in the aftermath of winning and say. These guys mean maybe with these guys this team is going to do it again next year."

[19:57]" This is probably the second time. Bit -- bit of one that I felt that. That we had a team you know one with -- on Arafat that we were we might -- one -- look that's me is that it was a cricket. Old rickety of this is that the wooden gate and then 4 you know what I -- I felt like I had. Got to know appeal -- off. That there is not going to be any love love him and that there's going to be a lot of change because there's a lot of people that -- contract situations that more conducive to. The -- long term best team in orbit this team has got the -- in this team it laid down. The foundation to be incredibly good competitive for a long time to differences play -- elites and more popular character reveals -- career."

[20:44]" Those thanksgiving 2003 seem like a long time ago for a short -- like court and -- and if this is goodbye and we yet don't see you next year you know -- picnic table in Fort Myers, Florida any any parting comments for the thank you are listening."
