[0:00]" You know what -- What the negatives are of the Yankees falling out of the race or not -- the Yankees adrenaline love that I was reminded of yesterday. I've taken my -- off of the erotic haven't been able to root against A-Rod on a consistent basis and there's one thing -- top five. Of the gifts that keep on giving. To me it's eight rod under pressure it's a rod in these games. I'd love it. I enjoy it he has so much more he's one of those guys. Who so much more enjoyable to root against and -- male who I think would be to root for and he succeed where your team that the bank account that I. It's everything isn't I don't know it's they'll let lost. Its. And it -- it's. It's -- running by some. On range rookie Ross to third baseman in Toronto and -- I got it or whatever he did you know. Look at on the school to be not by me. But plays develop and -- Yeah. Actually what you know what he gives -- year ago in Miami does -- with the boys and actually it was on. But on the field. -- and -- I think he's written something special in Madonna I'm big on guys I don't take points or not doing that so vulgar but Islanders and but I handers. Maybe moving on from there from warrior but cant understand. Like -- would think that is so cool and I think it's -- 39 all right he's I don't like him oldies but he's. You know he runs and younger demo. But just like he would think that's so cool right. -- Madonna and only that to have an older woman actually have some money and more morning you know more money than you have. That is pretty cool Nadia a lot of the school like that room cool but it's most most they don't think that's. He leaves the club house and we don't -- and Jeter it's. He hit a two hitter and spot up -- to lead blocker return to reach an -- Right but I don't know I'm -- say it's 11 you're right that's -- civic it's like we knew coming up in school. It matters you know when you want the older woman or right when you get -- Below you want to skew younger top soon I mean. Rusch available to everyone teach at ago and he came and well I think it's I think it's great like why. It's just perfect A-Rod but you know that's the whole pitcher of A-Rod I just he's a guy I love the definitive. Oh covering statements and A-Rod when championships I I. I say that I believe it ended he hasn't so at all warts and I used to feel the same way. About one -- mirrors you can't win championships with guys like Manny Ramirez. Oops they want to argue -- outside anyway it's room at the in the right right post season and while my latest news about Peyton Manning hopes aren't. I take a -- mileage but A-Rod of the gift that keeps on aren't you will not win. He can't win because he's got this victory issue in these games are part of what makes."

[3:04]" And you could just see the pressure on his face he just wants to be well I've never seen a guy with that much clout that much money digits once. He needs a -- really really -- in -- You're right it's funny used to be depressing you know -- the live in Miami you know -- the watchman. Down Tony like when it's the -- have a home Seattle's not a home Miami is not a home the boogie down Bronx that's not a home. Worth a hole for zero zone. You gently jive for me throughout the course today because. I don't speak tonight what that -- down the boogie down Bronx that's exactly what the Bronx is known that the -- it and -- True statement last tournament Yankee Stadium with the Sox same -- ballroom fame Tom -- in late August. Walk and a breaking with miles with both our request and now I'm -- next to little girl like. You know you gotta go to the game it's like our two X -- brought a little seven year old girl. And that's what I realized okay it's a true story this place is known as the -- don't."

[4:04]" I. Don't go well. But right like them like that guy. Is -- Yes you're hopeful that -- baseball. -- Krzyzewski are neck and neck for a hit the -- awful. But you don't you don't want it spent so much time dispatching A-Rod that you take. Credit away from what turned into a great story and the hugely important thing on this team and that I think is a story of the game last night. And Justin Masterson. It's turning in one of the stories on our game because that we all agree at the top of the top of the list of things. The Red Sox need to go all the way is solid bridge -- Jon Papelbon with Okajima and who was going to emerge as -- guy and it's it's turned out to be Justin Masterson I think. Almost to that point -- say it's him and Okajima right at home there you go and maybe even some nights it's truly just Masterson. And you've really got to look at that and and and all the other night it be Manning. No it could be now compared to that to me that's it is male he's the guy that you have to use. At the other three aren't available and honestly and somebody given up hope that's taking you know if these are arm in the bullpen line. But you just can't -- that situation last night and load the bases on walks and she's at the petrified of the strike zone it's obvious and that the that the difference between the two was never more striking and Masterson comes and it's the contact something situation -- on trees -- And to me you know all while folks on the double play ball which was huge but the -- before look at strike line. It's why Francona talked to Francona today at known. So stay tuned for that but Francona and John -- talk to those guys but a lot of -- spring training it's what -- focus on from there are strike one to all their eyes were on. Wants to about as the location did you see the location of the pitch that's what it's like one double strike ground ball both roll era half of the plate and that's exactly what he can do with a devastating it's that he hasn't. That's what is getting excited about masters and movement of the last couple -- speaks to balls that -- Go to Toronto right baseballs out. It speaks to his. His fortitude his make up. Too common in that situation. That was part time from -- and that relief situation one of those pressure Yankee games in a better on all your Anders roles obviously but are one game. Sort of a coming out party for his role at Yankees stadium it -- Whole thing. And the comes in and throw strike one -- ago rod strike one I think Axel pointed it says it all. That he's he's not afraid to throw a pitch over the plate and yet I think. Manny Delcarmen is categorically I think Clay Buchholz is categorically and those two young guys haven't crossed that threshold. And here I don't know -- test matches and has its huge importance because that your guys. It is -- timely because your were your first three starters. Match up favorably with anyone and based -- they'd do it you know maybe I take shields Kazmir. And Garza it's -- times no I don't I don't -- all right so. Beckett Matsuzaka Lester I I I stack up with anybody. I stack up Papelbon with anybody obviously. Matches and Okajima to what they've done over the last week two weeks that's as good as anybody right I think up -- take care of itself."

[7:33]" Are they as good as the games because we're really to me yes that's not the issue and I think Chicago or Minneapolis or excuse me the twins the Minnesota Twins are hoping that's an issue the question is how they stack up against me I think I -- that -- starting pitching -- Anaheim. Solid to -- the solid across the board every. Every category that you can mention they are one of the best if not the best in baseball and the Sox are right there as well -- somewhat different from the big deal with them as well while the it would run differential the Red Sox -- exactly are by far away number one -- pretty solidly up and number one spot Anaheim's five of the finals. Teams that are vying for a playoff spot so something tells you there's just something that back my head about. Seeing the Sox handle the Angels last several years out much -- and I just. I just wonder. I got to see from the -- posted a long time since they've. Had the long run you cure all over history. Ancient history or recent history recent history which one of those trends do you look at the recent history recently in recent history a recent history will tell you. Anaheim won what eight of -- for the last eight mark while you're talking regular regular season right that's the recent history part part of it is. I mean -- career against the Red Sox it's not good it was good this last outing but it's not going what he'd be twice -- announce that he can't go but it's not the post but Saunders made that big -- and black he's made a -- against the Red Sox since you know -- if they've made huge improvements are different guys then. It'll all come back -- up points I was wrong but from what I've just seen recently when they were really hot I I I still was hesitant about the Angels might feel better about the -- I think the rays. Are better team and some we talked a lot of little score runs enough for me. But there's something there's something about that young fresh team emerging that you're -- the Angels. Won the World Series when they would the new kid on the block and then yeah what have they done. And the new kid on the block in Major League Baseball in recent years has broken throw they've really -- and the rays of the new -- on the Barca I I still look at them. As the team that I I think I worry about most. But. The Red Sox if you know Masterson what huge guy he is that guy parker and it is go to an -- it with every single team in the American League Manny Delcarmen hugely disappointing throw strikes."

[9:50]" Still thinking is important in the fact that like he did Sunday in Toronto where can come in and get too big a big save window when you needed. He's still pretty vital to what the bullpen is -- get if you get a Okajima Okajima and if you get. Masterson to get the Papelbon topic to set the recent games let's -- You know he's going to need the sixth inning. Well you don't pay maybe master -- to give you two innings I suppose the way are you still need a Delcarmen on an uptick at some juncture at some point short."

[10:19]" Going to -- the way it works image it is there's very few bullpen that have two good arms nevermind three if you could talk. -- about Okajima and Masterson pitching at a high level that put you ahead of the game against was every team in Major League pays to have really reduced. And that maybe one that's why I still like the -- the pitching has been solid. All the way through open it was interesting we we discussed yesterday with Ken Rosenthal about the Yankees trade deadline deal for Damaso Marte and how again at the time. I wasn't upset that the Red Sox didn't want to make them move them because. The nature of that position itself while -- so inconsistent and it is so rare I defy someone to come and tell me a trade deadline deal for eight. Veteran setup guy that is really killed at that is really worked out there's so few and far between. There's far more examples of Eric Gagne yes. There are anything it's really worked out and muscle marte as Ken Rosenthal is yesterday's give up one an inning yeah doubt he really started out hot but -- at the last 45 outings not cute especially beginning with you the -- on that's when it all started crashing down. Yesterday nine earned runs over nine innings it hasn't worked out those guys he was -- Pittsburgh. And Eric Gagne last year was pitching well in Texas he was he was -- in Texas and so you can have a guy who as track record was pitching well at that time. And you -- think all right it's a pretty safe bet here. Dot -- still open your -- because it's the nature of that position you're almost better off you are better off. If you have good young arms in the system of throwing some of those junkies and they are going to -- just up against the wall. And someone is going to emerge I think it was a better shot and it's with the Red Sox did and it's been borne out. You've got a better shot of rolling. Masterson Delcarmen then Aardsma. You know on all those names up against the wall and hoping one of the guys in your existing roster sticks that you did. Of trading for Hamas the market having him and perform at a high level and masters -- proves a point."

[12:17]" Right the numbers bear that out Alicia and get -- high and guy there aren't very many guys out there they're like what you can name what two -- three. Relievers right now that you absolutely would want to or maybe even trade for. You're right just the nature of the position army you don't see very many guys out -- getting the job done and our group with Yemen if you can get a young guy that -- in the system. You know drop the course of -- the numbers are going to Berra it's going to be about the same anyway."

[12:40]" Okay so we'll talk but this about the course the day important outing for Tim Wakefield you know wasn't that was great wasn't great but. It -- first crack off the DL in Yankee Stadium where he's been getting killed. In recent years and he gives you five and and gives you win that's pretty good we don't take that personally it about two refusal right now I'll want to play at the Red Sox for holding on a Coco Crisp and not trading him early season we'll talk about that. And a little bit got a touch on J. D. Drew such respect so much time on him the last couple days. -- on the disabled list -- retarded to a 12 he did Garcia spine specialist yesterday. Jimmy Stewart I gotta give Gary tech for credit for this line it's bass line. Almonte and executed they've been saying -- morning it seems obvious to most you but I I didn't. I'm not that funny article material witness but. He did despite specials just in New York right correct. So we cannot confirm that he doesn't back --"

[13:33]" Line then -- go back in the -- boy and a one. I like our movement good. Unit come up with -- or liquid -- It's at or -- or thinking things. That's what's your art oh man. Yeah. Without that help when because there's a part of me that says. You're absolutely right when it when when you're talking about in characterizing J. D. Drew there's. What would you say like give me your gut feeling about -- yeah. Also -- also got an -- not your sister that was -- such great talent that's out there it's. It drives me crazy such a good guy. You don't -- all. And that's not because of what these guys. Kill me for this week is the backup quarterback sox' J. D. -- is soft. -- Arguable that it actually thought I was being obvious. That something. Sure it's obvious yeah. About 45 of the 32 teams and National Football League the back. I I disagree without but out there some. Are what other better ones that's the crux of the argument budget each -- DL I think it's going to. At least now there is some there's -- obstruction to the situation all right much about the validity. I want you to but. You know he says -- that agrees he's hurt its activities dated a thing where you know additional but the market is he ready is not ready to make a move to not. You don't find that thing okay JD. Your heart. We acknowledge it. -- you know we want to rest up retroactive to week he got a week ago you know this is first time on the deal with the Sox oblique references. 45 -- at colonial he goes a year and a half almost. Two full seasons without being on the deal more than before it dispersed triple DO. About -- but the thing is and that's what makes troubling to me if he was spending time on the DL with actual injuries you know that. And an analyst at these other injuries at work real -- him obviously and think about it an error. But he was being disabled left and right crashed into a wall breaks -- injured reserve your out. He's always been dated eighties has been little teeny tiny things that knocked them out. Which anyway at the frustration. -- if -- out there crashing in the walls and breaking race that you know while ball up Indian. I I write it -- me when you talk about song I mean there is some validity to it because. A lot of the media members -- as a running joke in the clubhouse -- J. D. Drew Z hurt. Every army -- and awkward or looks painful. Wondering if he's going to come out of the game if he's going to be back in the lineup and expect fans alike so when you bring that Porter opposite you know was. Touch and go will touching little emotional right a lot of little uncomfortable question toughness at all and I can instantly that's. Why back can be touchy or at least the perception of most of the time that is reality doesn't even once. Heart breaking the -- God's sakes. I'll have to putt on the Patriots as well. I'll open all minds up until Terry Francona at noon to -- 617779. 850. Toll free 888525. 850. Emails dale and -- at that the I dot com recipient elder in the I don't know that's. Where that's at the -- Were home I'd DNC will come up with a better or --"
