Play from 0:02[0:02]" Dale big differences Jerry I don't dogged down the first base on double play ball or one -- have a little take -- and music demands that you ran to the radio to hear his voice he would time little delay he. Now hills was listen all day probably the bad dale that's an idea that's yeah the -- that's the Rhode Island. Like got to be. Confused with the main. The question where each fan base is more sick to death of discussing a particular story. That would be the Green -- Bad berries. One of them -- seven minutes -- this treatment. And -- are. Sox fans in Boston and men were expected to for more well partly I don't really. Mind if I don't. -- likes best. Arm and I offensive. At bat no I wouldn't."

Play from 1:04[1:04]" Now I mean I'm not all that Okafor I was either side wouldn't prefer Ameritech talk and I think. I I am so sick of farm on the national level I can't imagine what it's like Green Bay yeah I mean I I think with far. I don't understand what the with the question hang what is the hang up. You gonna trade him you gonna trade him to a team not your division. You gonna get I don't know third round pick maybe second maybe second yeah and you -- maybe a player and you -- yet. Wise is I mean I read John Clayton saying he's not going to play for anyone. This might have been a couple days ago -- changed since then but. What what what is the gray area obviously he's not going to play for the Packers that's clear right."

Play from 1:48[1:48]" It's clear that I. Don't know camp tomorrow back up. Yeah tobacco. And forty is he has he submits his reinstatement declare -- day and he comes back to show up again he starts last."

Play from 2:57[2:57]" Rahman's antifreeze and up his Gatorade that's true you know yeah be very sick actually a year you know use uses only year says -- It was going to keep keep the mr. idea until some losses you'd go the only you'd got reform is dead body and I don't think it's that suspense polish -- one team went to. He's not play for Green Bay and these plea agreement shall agree Indian camp. Played. You don't know now I do. That you think he'll be the starter now you're able to act yeah. Possibility. That you'll be the -- and Carmelo the possibility is -- are you kidding -- with a clip it's awesome that far. On the packers' roster this year. Many of the Red Sox next year -- Up. Don't have a choice that's all."

Play from 3:56[3:56]" Any talk you out there you know they go out there with the people. You and gone on to the barber shop do you go to the to the GM go to your local saloon and these middle. A lot of time hanging out and links. Yet they're talking about Manny and for for a couple reasons -- if that's an area -- He has crossed the line. I think from fan favorite to. -- Polarizing figure at best a polarizing figure not quite a arrive because you have still talk to him yesterday they are out there. As Jerry -- their out there at the many sick of fans there going to be there to the end with their guys to be there anymore this morning have to watch him last night he only tries state killing spree you'll still stand by him but. But there will be. Things changed mister -- no longer is the discussion trade for part of the right Cubs should trade doesn't need to be now maybe now -- I think Israelis and but but the question do you think that the -- discussing it was someone assurances house again they'll that I job. -- discussing trading David Ortiz. Know he's just in trading Kevin Youkilis Iowa I don't know but after Arnold and it's not because he loves them just because he's. Good player for nearly -- money short money but I think the fact that Manny Ramirez. First ballot hall of Famer and this one of the great right handed hitters of all time. Is on the block mean that's pretty fascinating if your red Sox baseball fan -- a sports talk show host I'm sorry deal that's pretty interest."

Play from 5:37[5:37]" On the block -- technical term is is on the block it is just that. Sick it was this but the ball was crap that hey there's no interest in him and being last night court it is in their last night was exactly why he will be here to the end. They're going to roll the -- they're going to take their chances and hope that many ways most of the time is disruptive all of the time. Contributes some of the time and does it does last. Few games fine in September."

Play from 6:05[6:05]" There hold there you go then so we get to watch Manny Ramirez playing out the string yeah. That's pretty fascinating. You get to watch one of the great usable time and one of them quirky. Personality yeah. Finish out history in Boston and leave town I mean how will legal legal as a champion with a glove as a dog little beatable -- a legal -- And you know. If he stays here -- knock pick up the options of that whole discussion topic with a degree of the picked up justice."

Play from 6:38[6:38]" Via Alia. Yeah I heard all the -- option he'll be headed back to cost a week ago he went to Brazil penalty that would OJ again you know honest -- all the experts all the baseball insiders a week ago same it's a no brainer pick up. And you listen to all day such as an egg answer and man. Hammonds came around terrific column is it on the audio you can women's law. Law. It is it's. Blogs blog it's a column blogs when. Your. Blog. On. The Stratford on just as the blog blah blah."

Play from 7:24[7:24]" It's a good coach terrific column Gammons and he lays it all out there and those -- basically we've been telling what month month the way is going to play -- and he E he actually came around he used to give. He was giving -- any much too much credit as a lot of people were his. They give guys like me the benefit of the doubt and we don't and the for good reason because Manny is. The I think we will remember you know will BC he when he is we've beaten when he -- known now 10 will be doing like Sunday night show it to like pay for the timeless cells have a friends on levels are. Safari. And it was -- and when the subject of self baseball players yeah yeah yeah on the list he has knocked Pedro from the -- yeah this is the all together it is true. Almost crazy to say it. If a kid and yeah you -- going to be commanding stooge for over a minute that you -- in for ever you came in Monday UN epiphany you -- Tell me and I use and -- and me use and I am come around it's all about entertainment -- detail yeah I love them right."

Play from 8:37[8:37]" You still feel you know I I don't but it would -- he's column he's a guy that -- so what was the low lying. Peccadilloes. I'm fine with that that's great that's entertainment value for entertainment dollar it's when you start throwing old men on the ground but he -- lose meal I don't know that's --"

Play from 8:54[8:54]" He loses most Washington most many made some people he's lost a minute still these fools would use -- pages back page there yet this idiot Sosa doesn't. Execute execute yeah CO grownups is."

Play from 9:07[9:07]" We have you Manny and we don't you and needs selfless and it got me again. That are bad. Be on my shoes. Albeit strain in. I'm uncomfortable to watch him because he's such. -- to run informed us that guy he's bad bad you'll you'll see if if they -- away I don't think it will cause there too much talent. Drop out of this race. You know when it's no longer you -- cares in the race I think that would give him the just the the the cash days just -- the get out of jail free card in his mind. That just lay down like a dog with fleas. And out of question."

Play from 9:51[9:51]" We will already learned that he's not. Trying to preserve. His viability of -- his racquet right and for good reason you don't have to be you know the flawless free agent to cash in to get a 45 year deal you'll get. The other thing we've been telling you for a month is he will get a for a five year deal that known that's going to one year you know that's when he met. And with respect to this misinformation. For a month it's just keep that."

Play from 10:17[10:17]" In monument -- mostly -- we know for sure only gets that four or five year deal if he gets to free agency now. -- yet another -- two under these these -- terms -- million dollar -- what -- we've been saying for a moderate -- he does not want to."

Play from 10:35[10:35]" One year deal for the pre. And we again we're security doesn't seem to fit the ability he wants input but you know he wants money to money's an abstract ball -- so. -- what he's obsessed with he's obsessed with money and he thinks he's getting in and he's listening to Boris he thinks he has. In the potentially getting four or five year contract at twenty million."

Play from 10:58[10:58]" Org and otherwise not listing to Boris in this little diversion from what we were talking about yesterday is that Boris is advising him against. Trying to shoot his way out of town that many to get a free agency probably already is secure the fact. The Red Sox are not going to pick up option at the end of this year he will be a free agent to ply his his good somewhere else. But it is in many sports talking according to Gammons in -- is best interest to do here. With the protection of of this entire lineup around David Ortiz and and and Kevin Youkilis and and Mike Lowell he is much more. Able to put up three page numbers will get in the contract that he seeks if he stays here as a -- getting traded to the hinterlands."

Play from 11:39[11:39]" You know it it this is another sad commentary in baseball that Manny and again. We've been saying that city yesterday it'll play out this way and soon to be read and everywhere. People -- while many wins will we we said at first many we will win maybe we'll win young and many will accomplish his goal and to be honest with you. He doesn't care. How he gets that goal the means to the end is irrelevant to him he can beat hated in Boston forever and many QB out of his is selfish. He's self absorbed guy who doesn't care about his teammates as Gammons writes we've been Kellen yet. I don't care about that he just wants to get to free agency cash -- and guess what he's going to get the free agency cash and that's the problem here -- you. Young players a look at him young you know -- know that's how you forced the hand. Of the the all powerful Boston Red Sox you know they had him. They had the leverage -- the contract in the one year option he didn't want them have leverage and guess what he. He'd shot his way out of town he's going to do that and we're going to be sitting here in December January. Talking about a four or five year deal with your name at the Dodgers. The Angels somebody will pay him and Manny Wilson get a phone call and -- say yeah I did it."

Play from 13:00[13:00]" off a number front and knows what I would call me and -- I am rooting for the oh and John Henry and Tom Warner and even to say. We Jews rule man holes give him twenty million dollars and even remotely fair and good routes and that would have granny and I would embrace that I would. Nobody's ovation for something like that but it will never."

Play from 13:21[13:21]" Now alone because they know what would've. Problem he would -- yet and already -- genius I mean as I pointed out last week mean this is a happy man this year we were told happy -- yeah is the once smacked him teammates. How funny about it."

Play from 13:38[13:38]" killer of their talked him last night he has a discussion -- many thought was great. You know phenomenal average great -- Manny and Manny two minutes later goes about the press conference that we heard yesterday. -- tired of them their time enemy. Is that's not to go that -- he's tired."

Play from 13:53[13:53]" It's he's not really tired and that was my question is that it was too tired of -- he's not tired of anything he doesn't hate you he just wants he wants out. And by. Creating this this this perception. That they did they've gone. He revoke. The order -- now reconciled -- Erected sign reconcile the differences yeah. The people will just assume the perception now is that he can't come back next year right yeah. So that correct -- ops."

Play from 14:24[14:24]" And always. This divorce is final of a brain. -- which she doesn't which he doesn't but it brain in his head. Realized already accomplished that. He come back next year they're not pick up the option he's going to be a free agent so many aren't true they are where -- comparable where a team is with this lineup around two very good team on postseason stage I'm rake your brains out and hundred million dollar come to mind -- he -- will not but the thing would be better off somewhere else trying to put up August and September numbers to get a hundred million dollars he. Oregon had a leaping off king of the media and club ago."

Play from 15:08[15:08]" It is and you know lot you don't get kind of candid comment or just anywhere. How many people sent. I want to say stupid 'cause he's now that's Duke and beyond. Brought in Italy -- And I agree with you Baker's. I don't think the ever won the -- now. At that gates circle for a year sharp stick and punch out both guys and pour salt in them this or -- it's. Nice checkered suit my eye sockets and -- bleed out in the before he picks up -- doubt in my mind that Boris. And Manny couldn't on this diplomatic they could have. Somehow -- Gotten them not to pick up the I think that's the way they were leaning anyways yeah in my have been. The ocean course -- and -- the deal. You'll be a problem next year. He will be a major -- and yeah I ask you about I've talked about I -- his -- on this if you got this is paltry one million dollar option for next year it's going to be up -- in your racists those don't think about doing it just -- him -- away right all luckily I've. And he could've done it doesn't care. Bears we. Respect him anymore you know I don't know -- he should care about -- and is he does it's about how he can best put up a set of numbers that's in August and September to ensure the fact. If something short for years and 200 million dollars that he might otherwise guys."

Play from 16:42[16:42]" It's why else he's go wrong is he's got hundred. I'm under 6868. Probably bonuses -- to expect from -- and -- all star of the hazard. It's a million doesn't insure the back -- all -- now you know Andy you voting -- his son he's -- 168 here and would make. Me. There has made. At two under 201 -- All that matters to him is money. And for all that matters is money mean year's money same thing you know whatever. So -- would misplaced where he has such as the plate. On. Arguably the most talented team in the big leagues with as good -- chance to win as an and -- Angels. Oh will get -- does get through that would get to that -- David Ortiz in front. Lowell and Youkilis and threw him yet manager -- manager Otis who bend over backwards for him. In the ball park made for him -- offensively deep that's never find a position is easy to play as left field in Fenway. If they hand him off and -- just -- Looks away. Every time does anything. Stupid and and love him because the system and and still he wants to -- So more. It's just been like Conan you know fifteenth and men men. Of -- It's your Emerson to be sports. Though he says that it's so senseless to be -- this and and we hear of people who think it's typical ball it's not it's not -- he is so. Such in money grubbing and -- yeah. Rod is by Arlen -- and that's that's beside the point it would work ethic here but compared to Ortiz who signed early in just want to stay here and Wakefield and and you know go to and list. Guys who have chosen to come here take less money you know. Schilling. Money Mike Lowell a few years to stay here one after another guys don't want to -- want to be -- well what -- they traded Duke --"

Play from 19:05[19:05]" It would be hard. Because he knows what a good situation misses many doesn't care you can only hope he goes somewhere. And and struggles the point they beat the incalculable. Reason he is doing this or something doesn't already happens -- This is Kevin Youkilis as an example would make -- three million dollars a year which is a lot of money by almost anybody's standards or somebody take my hometown discount or somebody got screwed like is young's home tags -- looking for one last contract to finally make a couple of -- should say. Okay distasteful itself which might get it. This is that shot this stuff."

Play from 19:44[19:44]" he doesn't need an -- and obviously when you make 200 million and you. In the league like ours that he's not exactly buying corporate Jets. And actions. -- Yachts like. Bill Gates Paul -- Not even more money to be right. More money that he could ever spend. Or his kids not to give a damn them -- grandkids he doesn't I'm sure it's all about him. But he's the ultimate scoreboard watcher thank him in -- at that point seven million. This guy got the long term and so from now believe these guys -- big deal ego. And I -- the ball on re rod I gotta get -- more that some more and it's so sane it's comfortably. And flop around left field people laugh and do stupid things shortly that -- all. And get away with it as they -- Boston they turned a blind -- to most of -- Transgressions and -- And it's -- teammates at pro private secretary to the -- and get away with. And yet he -- up road every. And move on -- It's mad at me but -- ever meet you use. We ever news self that are polish the -- the stupid. This misguided pretty much rewrites the record. Let's say it right -- the record I would say would be it would -- holdouts -- guys demand trades. This. Makes less sense -- and the numbers."

Play from 21:19[21:19]" 617779850. Toll free 88852585. To a little Poland and talk which view I don't spend four hours -- part of what I do what I do though. Is is discussed eyeball test about this Red Sox club. They're four and six since the all star break the team anywhere that good. This is he anywhere anywhere near that good on the accident I don't plan nine you know you have not by the way for the crappy Seattle Mariners. The teams in trouble. I totally understand they only Angels know more now Cardinals see what happens in the post something wrong here I'm wrong your pro sport what your phone calls and."

Play from 22:03[22:03]" With the bonds and the look."

Play from 22:07[22:07]" Miss then he struck him out. That will billet as Jacoby Ellsbury fans to leave them loaded the Red Sox will scored just one time in the inning."

Play from 22:16[22:16]" Problem might be one part of the problem rule should go to Ameritech -- yes that's actually that's being kind of merit to that ball hit the dirt before he swung at it. It is more about simultaneous it was Williams Almonte lord seem."

Play from 22:30[22:30]" So bullet he could go into this kind of -- fast if you heard this past he's run from the left side he can hit the ball on the ground -- go the other way to see me do it seemed like. He could not. He could go on a little bit of a funk not -- on the ball just laughed and all the some sort -- he's definitely at all it would it seemed impossible for guy I would -- speed get the."

Play from 22:52[22:52]" That doesn't Olympics since July 1 dog if he's still its gotta you upper Philly a the American League with 351 ruled a base stealing get the first can't steal first round -- stated that all the time Jacoby walked into the 38 his last thirty games at that was worse than those at 130. 31 hits and 130 at that. Those are probably all field it some months it means not drive the ball at all. He is -- RBI single to not being I was being very -- disrespectfully put -- ninth and there tech. Like Duke to the double to --"

Play from 23:30[23:30]" Lowry had a very tactic that almost seems disrespectful. To their tech has the manager definitely in India and have captain. As as not handed -- anything. Now right now he's had -- it and yet he's Pittman and divert from a little surprised good and I'm glad. And this whole rumor Miguel Tejada rumor of these ridiculous. What's been shot down it's not enough into it. ESP and deported him to say oh -- we're working on that they shoot down every trade rumor."

Play from 23:59[23:59]" Yeah but it's it's silly to succeed so steroid -- on the team with a 3183. TO be pretty ten home runs to me for all clearly on the back or -- Jim Lowry. I would -- I would too you're the -- Larry bigger shortstop -- I may 31 from news journal and always right. Right -- did we will applauding a home after the us."

Play from 24:22[24:22]" As -- swing and I drive that. It's seven define me."

Play from 24:34[24:34]" Ultimate garbage time -- 75. This or the seventh inning when he dog it exactly Westminster kennel club champion Clippers rates and double play talk about more on -- of people watching. -- and on and these days like watching his every move. How hard is it to run first ninety feet. Eric and there -- up about his teammates were able -- out of a game an hour after his name is on the lineup. Why would he care what some some green fly on -- the -- J. D. Drew runs harder on fly balls that Manny does on ground balls that might be play yet on which in my pure play Judy it is max effort equally you in the Casey Kotchman -- on -- and now. You know the Angels did -- commentator -- nature is in little slump broke out last I would do it but the Angels win 725. Or forty and eighteen against teams 500 at some days it is no it's also in -- 34 in nineteen on the road. That is I think so yeah I think they definitively are your -- and they beat the Red Sox six regular series and how well."

Play from 25:45[25:45]" They're doing and how poorly the Red Sox at this point tonight. John Lackey at Fenway yeah whose favorite as a favorite over clay buckle and you never see the Red Sox as underdogs unless they're facing. Some stud. And August like he he's just a stub in Finland the Red Sox and -- lawless and England. -- can't play buckles knees -- is not as honest."

Play from 26:12[26:12]" Knowing I don't know if you heard the Angels may be the class in the American League."

Play from 26:15[26:15]" Might be the class of the American League right now. I think we feel like every time we've played we were going to win that but that are that are -- Tremendous starting pitching him very good bullpen while speed they they catch the ball over while I can name a lot of things. Hopefully tomorrow I won't be naming those things and one of one but there's a reason there was my Wednesday --"

Play from 26:37[26:37]" And who's the third hitter MySpace is Taurus and now. They didn't they can win this guy they could you learn any Ramirez couldn't they just could Jerry. Yes they can they would be nice alternative for the Pirates but that's -- and every -- up the papers that denied there's going to be some juicy trade rumor involving many matters. Philadelphia and."

Play from 26:57[26:57]" Hell yeah I think they're working on it and that they won't be -- get it done -- reasonable going to -- is terrorism. I mean they they could put all the pieces in place work all night they'll vote them -- deal with whoever the Angels. And he'll say oh well at Indy he he was him man listen they've agreed not to pick up your option one I want a four year -- That twenty million a year five year and one man wrecking your view that we found you a place. And they won't pick a -- and you can play out this you can be a free agent and you can play for a contender -- me is that -- I feel like. A -- some movies from Netflix I don't want to leave it. I mean he's he will be the reason the deal doesn't get done and we'll see Theo Epstein. It like Friday you look like Terry Francona he'll have no."

Play from 27:48[27:48]" He injured so she knew -- interest you sure it's a lot of them want to leads him into battle definitely with some interest I think getting me. Two months of Manny Ramirez do -- can. Four or whoever you know and Arizona Philadelphia actually had some LA Dodgers. If we can replace Andruw Jones but he can try. The Sox -- the rays play game Tampa bay lost to Toronto -- Jays are common this is the team to watch they've won six of seven there's seven and a half behind AJ Burnett. Twelve when he tied a career high. Mike Maceda turn ended -- Jamie Moyer gave up six runs in the Yankees
