Play from 0:01[0:01]" So watching the game -- try to force of the field. All I can think of his. World not that way about women and yeah that -- he does things has growing mound until I don't know -- not later on here Boyd dollar dollar something -- don't want to sit -- it would -- said yesterday in the programs imagine if any is that its own runs and Jason paid essentially nothing of conference can't skate guard. Too bad at bats than bloop. The single in front of him a citadel an all wide god it's going to be four hours of many we need more many we need more many. And he only once in that today's bill Simmons on ESPN's -- what -- and it repeat that I mean at least I asked I asked management -- management today as a -- weeks' vacation so I can read it it's so -- we -- our body won't get a total of millennium and -- reds -- does not usual for -- he he he's a very clever writer he write some extremely funny stuff. -- he makes me laugh when I read his stuff. But it doesn't necessarily his opinion is not formulated based on like actual facts. It's like is that about -- misinformed peaked at about made great misinformed you talk about you know make believe world bill lives in the big believer in the old Doc Rivers stuff that he would -- them or read the bases you're thought Doc Rivers was Isiah Thomas another one of the guys he can't -- But he he missed a factual get it's a little bit -- let me get back to -- Because of second got all my god we're going to -- the whole day. Dealing -- many second and of course Jason Bay turns the the world and who -- maybe the series upside down god with the with the big home run last night and kind of changed everything around. In -- a -- game last month -- doubt that that is a great baseball game especially in the kimono top to bottom line it's a lot more if I were probably if it goes the other way were sitting here. If the Red Sox were aggressive and it didn't work which by the way of of learned that when you're aggressive and it doesn't work it's stupid. Her image is sure exactly so about the result exactly all ball result is sure opening black girl wasn't being aggressive he was never saw okay -- been aggressive all -- And for those people that have been calling the during the course of the week. That want to David Ortiz to play first base is there anybody right now -- raising and that can tell me the David Ortiz would have made the play of Kevin Youkilis made. Down ballot measure neighbor's basement I -- was somewhat fortunate I mean the way stab the ball whose glove on the way down that was the biggest partially mark come up and I started third assuming he's going to go to third that's -- had a game that's you know the old making chicken salad out you know what I mean -- you're taking something. That's not a little bloop a little -- you know -- finding its way through us from some open space and turning it around. Coupling a ball I agree that was the key he -- the ball. And then in one motion makes that bullet throw over to lol that was the game yeah that was the day."

Play from 2:50[2:50]" Guys are big -- you get on -- you know as far as aggressive -- turned stupid base running as it turned -- it definitely was with. You're in his inside radio and he he messed up a couple ways one either pick up is their base coach he just assumed there -- ball drop there was going to scoot away from Kevin Youkilis and it didn't he caught it right away -- go wire. We didn't turn around the luck. To make sure that it did indeed we'll just go away from I think yeah the third baseman but I think he turned."

Play from 3:15[3:15]" Ron and his lower yeah second though he -- graduate what -- Downey took off yeah and you you can blame him for an elegant third base coach because that's a played the base arms and make his own decision. He should need a coach for that. What I think you the other -- part anyway because if you dig gets a ball team I get doubled off first. So we've you know should I regardless take off absolutely you take off our you don't play save it only -- second. And -- a no -- I'm really."

Play from 3:38[3:38]" The other thing that takes away from aggressiveness is the other team playing great defense. And that really cuts down your aggressiveness your can't do some of the things you wanted to and he l.s replay out sort of feel I mean. You -- his Orlando you can you can say city got a a slow start and -- maybe he did in -- to playing no doubles though right one run only light and played Riviera up your plane deep you're almost on the track. So he may give the play closely great -- great play great point and come up with a with a note phenomenal play. So now let me ask you guys because we did bring him this topic up yesterday. And I think the Red Sox got what they want to be at worst case scenario now they've got a split coming back on the you've gotta hope -- Beckett. Is healthy and can -- out -- doing on on Sunday -- I'm not dismissing by the way tomorrow night's game because I think muscle soccer's going to be very good against this lineup who's. And if he'd take both of them obviously. You dramatically. Due to -- to -- mature and a series around. But. What are the angels' thinking now in is the extra day off we don't look -- normal social set up. Does this out the worst case scenario for them in that four for 48 hours people out Los Angeles are going to sit here and Anaheim are going to sit there and question. The Angels and whether they have it right here according to my right. Park area -- just terrific. Right this is a heart somewhere in the area just find it it was a beautiful it is. But are they not going to sit there a question of -- we took it out of mind and regular season Youkilis brought the -- yesterday you guys who play the game you tell me what do they think of that."

Play from 5:10[5:10]" Well that's the thing you know you forget about the regular season it's all about post season now this team like we said yesterday. The all 47 got swept guys underperformed. You know -- team all year long you guys couldn't get it done and I think the key thing about last night is that -- in the back of their mind there's still some guys out there personally. Questioning themselves in the playoffs if those guys are still doing it. Shaughnessy and guys -- this -- yes Chone Figgins -- can't get on base at a -- he is mentioned I want to get on base he can't play Davis felt so -- shoulder to shoulder yeah and it's -- of the Charlotte you're shown us another -- the big guy you know and Vladimir Guerrero yes she got a couple of hits but he'll be thinking about that base running play his head is still messed up and the big guy out of their bullpen Scot Shields. He continues to struggle against this club Red Sox Yankees still have some big question mark to some key players on that team you could see -- Torii Hunter had a nice game and and Garret Anderson and a.'s game at the shared that is hits well."

Play from 6:06[6:06]" I feel during game one and I pitched great that was one bad pitch to -- him like a deer -- all my game yeah gonzo yes that's not good was pretty bad yeah they were do we need to score some runs it's it's bad thing one out good again -- I do what I had to do yeah -- I mean that's what playoffs are one bad pitch can -- the game because that is so close games while he would be at full -- Bar on on the first two at bats with the with a break he's a my guess is he's trying to go with a fastball outside their strikes on -- went outside try to go up I think -- There wasn't sure I was up a little bit -- I guess what it would make it look like the Mitt was placed out of the far outside that."

Play from 6:42[6:42]" Strikes we try to -- acute -- to do I mean this -- Briggs made Jason -- look foolish on every curveball he threw up that third at -- Jason -- has been getting out -- first two at -- been dominating the the -- ball comes up is third at -- first pitch hanging curve ball -- as Jason -- if he's not going to -- hidalgo he's not going to name his breaking -- he's -- doesn't want to hit somebody and two things -- one Lackey -- to Q -- didn't -- too -- thinking all right -- game -- let's just -- one fastball up and change -- level you know -- give up enough. And Jason Bay made him pay on the other side of that give Jason Bay a lot of credit because. -- has -- say never give up on the fastball never give up like he could right there after all once -- yoga -- sit back elusive breaking ball. And he didn't he never give up what his -- his straight decisions -- all we stuck with it -- he got it any -- I was."

Play from 7:29[7:29]" In my that life -- don't think a whole lot of people brought out. And -- thing right during the game. To seem like you -- dominant first baseline awaited know -- only touch first -- look like these broke down man yeah ground obviously I was always looks like -- kid really -- pinch run form I mean -- girls who is great man -- aren't relay race says he he just -- result during this to have some speed you know this sure -- Arizona basically right. But now it's just like. It's gangly lumbering that's that's his hole -- then I -- your four at four under on the game that is the eighth then he might not give any army didn't anyway right."

Play from 8:05[8:05]" And you know -- anything I think in the past they've set -- set our big gun in this lineup has Vladimir Guerrero. Mark -- now changes deaths of you have the opportunity to say. Well we can draw from letting what kind of -- we have a lot of we still got -- thought there with Teixeira granted whoever's coming in the game if he comes up again. Changes and a little bit but you're right I mean this guy for years now looks like he's running around there the last couple years. Look like he's eighty years old does it hurts to watch this guy walk don't run. And and maybe you'll be -- says no real question that because of Sosa's reputation but."

Play from 8:35[8:35]" Milwaukee is an Award for arthritis you know definitely a sarcasm -- disabled he gets the second open transform yelled the lumps for a single wall he got second and contained on the third. The only unfortunate its top a second down on the -- left though because we spent so much time in -- we were talking about the aggressiveness of of the Angels and is aggressive and and people applaud. Sosa for -- and when you're aggressive play. Actually doesn't work for you it does look -- but he's it is you know what what the hell was he Dolan the bonds either now we talk about tejada and up on Belgium that involve one time zone I was amazed that party and -- chicken -- right how do you not. And by the way Michael did not look good last night and why would you not go -- Mike Lowell. And try to block them to death and force him now to to do something that is probably physically not capable of going right now."

Play from 9:26[9:26]" I mean if you want a big fan of Michael before everybody was I have to watch -- how can you not. I mean I watch -- I don't know I cannot just try to watch this guy play right now because the way he's gotten it out. The ground balls -- he catches -- he's pretty much flat -- just -- everything -- he doesn't move his feet are all still no legs and that's no legs whatsoever in the field he's not moving his feet probably makes the -- the last got it out -- the last step -- like -- you know many admiring a home run or whatever come down for whatever Disney didn't make it couldn't read certain that I somewhat bad then -- only -- his they -- aren't. But take like that you tell much fingers -- a lot of -- how to get fired a five game series out of room and maybe games beyond how they do I don't I don't think they're going to get five out of them. I wasn't an -- should they may only three getting -- hello Greg but I look at -- why look at that Sunday Monday you know depending on what happens here and by no means. You know do you sit -- there wall for a two were good -- a mentality wise this team won't let that happen but. That back to back Sunday Monday's going to be awful difficult for for him beat us I don't see him playing both of those games if indeed he even does play Friday I just don't mean he he can space this around -- give you Friday often maybe this five days off in between games that would put -- the games three. I just don't see this guy being able to play each and every game -- play game three go against Saunders. Yes I want as -- a Q -- a lot of -- so maybe Monday -- and Larry mussina will give Sean Casey -- perspective that's going to be tough outs."

Play from 10:51[10:51]" I wonder if Ellsbury continues to do what he's doing I want him against the lefty as well hallway I think you got to play him against a lot he's he's runs and J. D. Drew down maybe if you want to get to the you know. -- what I see in general we -- and all is red hot don't like today this is always so last year in in the in the postseason we finally got into numbers -- gave a heap he'd just make stuff happen end. Pedroia did not have a good -- or Ellsbury might have -- even more. Productive and parlayed it that the did you share that referenced do that the the -- the caballero -- a little pony never ever ever heard of Albert there was nobody got they got -- carrier. Is that what it was somebody told him that he said Ortiz told. -- that soon he'd be my guess is a little pony Jim -- I don't -- Scott carrier yeah chip chips -- stolen kisses your -- he's got -- into -- want to get -- to live and -- shaken right now because apparently they cleaned up the dust inside studios you know it's nice slowly started school some of -- this is as the some great -- cheers me this is a three year project this is a three -- drugs. -- world tells him second walker that -- the speakers still a problem but it doesn't make any difference anyway does that have you've noticed but that's speakers broken their like colds and whatever. A maturity even works but they have done a remarkable job within less than 44 -- I applaud you. Mister Chavez you've done a great job of getting getting them every here Monday if they probably want. Probably won't be here on Monday but but at least you go out you know Bruton and everything yet breed them they NAACP and think of it. You saved Brett -- That's his bread apparently according to Europe blog has got you know every -- zoom manageable two imaginable demanded I want Floyd's got -- don't. They had to go there you -- animal but it was it was fun to see them obviously when the the first game but the way that. They were able to do it they almost kind of said okay. Let's put the mirror up there and won't play the way they play and you know we can do it as well as they can do it than they did."

Play from 12:50[12:50]" You know this this get it to me you know like kind of try to carry momentum into the post season from last year you know I think Ellsbury is a perfect example value we didn't have. They're great -- great September but I'm just saying you didn't have that he's in new guy he's had a whole year behind him and it was up and down but he's made the adjustments. But he steps back Guillen knows his success last year in the post season steps right in right away and goes three for five and probably seven -- the other thing too they try to -- fastball if you noticed but they weren't accurate they weren't accurate and and they couldn't get -- and -- two -- came back -- over the -- feels good to -- America. -- was in that he turned on so it's good to see this kid's gonna make adjustments and he has made adjustments to and did nothing to Masterson in the -- here's a guy has never been in this position before tell you wonder get a little scared and I got a little scared. You know you wonder horrible move -- our allies -- but other anatomy now but all what do you but. You -- would get away okay -- this kid comes out here and gives up you know gives up a couple runs what's he going to be like Ment mentally wise you know the rest of this post season instead he comes out. And he gets the job done any league I think east -- team -- defense a little bit -- nobody did a great job Els who the great catch Youkilis with a great adjustment getting Vlad at third. So but he went -- got the job done and it in and that I said that's a positive for young kids questioning themselves Jim Lowry course Dorsey middle is huge caution us."

Play from 14:05[14:05]" There are -- earlier because of him without some Lincoln like her you have dangling girl when are you had a great September -- I make an air maybe cost a game. -- game cautious series in the playoffs for the first four or five innings and M and Lester was good villiers put men on base like he was back to the first 45 innings I thank you -- are all those who knows what -- good. And get out at first though yeah -- of the basic meal Delgado was huge. That almost reminded me. Or Leicester or 2006 or 2007 you know that. 2007 they struggled early to lose control but dumb things to ramp up yeah. Teachers maybe and but. By the seventh inning boy he looked like on an even keel we've looked like he had been there before."

Play from 14:47[14:47]" I think when Jason Bay to two run shot you know you -- go up there and shut the other team down. I think when he took the mound there -- six and struck on the side he became a different animal and he went out there and you could see in his eyes there was no doubt he was coming up for the 7800 pitches. I was like you know they came on the eighth and in seventh that the one's seventeen Mike I feel good with him going. First I don't know -- are you are voting go back -- one -- Baird tells me -- least keep the share it right hander but hey it worked out -- and they're great job to get a sinker ball in their. Guy in there with their meat of the lineup power home run hitters and it's it's tough -- have a ballpark."

Play from 15:19[15:19]" Joe play there was -- that drug nobody's really talking mark two has this little thing but very text on the -- yes and right and protects always been known recently because Ellsbury and Pedroia isn't as the best punter on the team. It's like people they forget but I was doesn't. Perfect -- though they talked about this tonight in an hour hour accurate wasn't I had not heard of before but they talked about the the baseline it's. The air in that ballpark would stuff does not fade. To the -- I don't know -- slope of the -- grassy -- whatever -- and they've gone so much how many -- mid may be -- was more than they -- and -- gonna come back in my era followed and I am guessing at this I don't know what may be a guy like -- know all of that figure that if he did. If he -- Taylor right down there. He's got himself the ball that he -- a lot of fears that do that you know especially team like this team here I mean I can remember when you know even at Fenway Park if we hit -- a ground ball pitchers and we carry going to make sure the grass was thick. You know people water -- we that we are waterfront are already knows -- because you know that Caroline would you alter its -- that Kerrigan reduced yeah -- not personally and our whole southern I was going to -- times you might have expected we have a lot of other stuff to really worry about half of -- if."

Play from 16:28[16:28]" Put a media you you look at your field and you go by the that the team you have an and they bought the lot the by the guys that can bunt for hits so yeah I you know what a at the follow line you know in the fair territory slant that's over -- folic comes back in because they know they got a dog guys that can do that's a quick infield. They're fast team they want to play the."

Play from 16:44[16:44]" Strikes so how they approach it how the Angels approach it in game two we talked yesterday about. This probably being a good lineup for months -- soccer because with the exception of the Teixeira. It's a very aggressive. Hitting line up the which will play tomorrow to soccer. Because he's not probably playing with some deep counts the way he he has a tendency to it to do. How does -- play -- Hopefully same way did -- Amin the hopefully this swing in the -- doesn't in the counseling guys do not get on base he'll likely said just say play's author aggressiveness. He does -- you know maybe miscue as a swings at first division crowns and go play to these guys sit around now for the next and everybody's going to be talking about this about the as a drink. I it's it's going to face if it's one say if there's one day and you come back and playing tonight right. You're not dealing with a lot of that noise okay you want to get back out there today and -- have little day game Dave absolutely. You -- deal with that noise you can put your head right back into -- just step back and or get -- one game big -- five game series we get this -- we're okay. Instead now you gonna have to sit around. That the the you know players. And and the manager going to have to do press conference this year 'cause that's how they do it that's -- Major League Baseball does that they set all the -- up with the media sessions. And that's going to be an ongoing question I think that's going to be thrown out toll was just actually going to hear it over all you can don't want to put. You can either let it start to -- your brain and effectively apply -- we can get so pissed off about it that you can have a totally different out of town."

Play from 18:15[18:15]" Well I think it what is going to do is is is it. It's going to make it even harder for this team you know -- get over this hurdle because. The constantly hearing about it you know you can't avoid it -- there probably -- missing you know we dodged a bullet we not even going to face that Beckett game one. And Jon Lester goes out there and looks like Josh Beckett. You know now I can't man now we get Daisuke ME. That John Lackey is their guy you know he said the experience he's a guy they want the ball there and set the tone. They lost game one there was so much talk about they they went on today whatever we're 81 against this team this year that was the thing to stand on and talk about. You know and and Lackey threw almost no hitter that I threw a no hitter would you still there's -- I figured out against the Red Sox we know you lost game one. It's not the regular season anymore it's the same group of guys that did this crap in all four in 7 -- lost game one and until they go out when a ball game. You know you you don't always deal with that."

Play from 19:06[19:06]" If this becomes it is the -- existed but Mantilla out of mathematically it does. This becomes a must game for that we don't know what you're going to get out of -- on on Sunday but you can't come you can come back to Boston. 2 I don't care for its Beckett burden. And wait we -- lessons on his team for right so there are no -- About who pitched game three."

Play from 19:27[19:27]" No I think and and you look at this game tonight and in. If people say well it. Just -- Josh Beckett on Sunday you know right on the -- I don't know he's going to be thrown or not but I don't think the outcome of Friday night's game missed anything to do with it enough they go to know and they sit there and say well. -- let's sit Beckett Willis not if Josh Beckett on game -- we home -- yeah without knowing it was a little Debbie could always wanted to and he's pitching period you never know you never know what the crazy things can happen out -- and receive the -- sucks him back from two games -- against the three games and I remember that they absolutely I was pretty impressive victory against him -- you don't mess around -- could pitch on Sunday he's pitching tomorrow night's game have no effect. Well whether he pitches enough. So I mean you want to bury this to -- you don't want Lemieux one game because even trip to look up and and we are one villa with a -- want."

Play from 20:14[20:14]" the uncertainty that you you have with Beckett on on Sunday if you go to all it may become irrelevant. What he's like -- now going for what it may be a major factor but it may be irrelevant. What he's doing on Sunday because you still have two more peace and -- throw Jon -- here at home."

Play from 20:32[20:32]" And publicized and their parents say the Red Sox won our Q -- and you lose a game three that all -- on the Red Sox really gives you don't go back -- back there you know -- less -- homers in great. He dominating game one. Does almost becomes a must -- for the Red Sox then."

Play from 20:46[20:46]" You know so that's where you don't want to mess around nine yards let -- go you all -- I did and I thought hardly that he won't go go anyways if they feel that this is something to wear it they're going to hurt the guy. You know further than about the net he go since he goes to winnings. And he says you know what I can't revving up one inning flying here comes another guy whether it's -- all week feel out of the bullpen so. Yeah I thought arguably that he won't -- Ellis is this bad says that bad and they -- they gonna hurt him further."

Play from 21:13[21:13]" As a terrific pitcher on the back page of The Herald. A no escape being Manny where you can see Tito certain their head down by the way and out the center field the scoreboard you can see many that he felt run on video from the from the -- again that was going on live while they were out of the on the field and Howard -- benefits. Me -- I just think it might barely get out of and then there's like twenty rows deep kiss are you kidding me because he's you know I again I don't think any of us have ever questioned how great hitter is because he can do things. That -- 99% of the guys to ever play the game just simply can't do yeah figures are best on TV it is probably one guy in this universe can't get that pitch where I hit by numerous items flying down the first base line receiver and and Ozzie -- the you're not a playoff and it it's it's it's it's it's Manny wouldn't want to torpedo we Sami was flying I've never seen him on that ballot that -- about how but how does that -- I'm that -- this is what he's I don't know I'll tell us trying to run that well below what they want to puke practices this is what he's been doing and and he's done this all along and I don't think anything. That would surprise is we said here just I don't think anybody thought that many wasn't going to have a great series. Because he's he's motivated right now to go in and show the world that he's worse you know twenty million dollars a year for -- don't the next four. For five years I think that's what little comes down to. -- 46 frank TV Promos during the course of the draw 46. Boy it's -- it's really dead to them think why why become -- Manny why do you do you don't you don't need that -- just don't lose my target -- funny I I almost think what they should do is they should just you know maybe have you know it's bad thought that this network's -- does your spots -- they are well those are prepared -- well done and you know would be you know. But the you're right I almost think. That they should just come out have frank addressed the audience and more of those spots in -- Please I also will stop running the Promos if you promise that you watch my show if you watch my show you haven't -- the voices if you watch what shall we Walsh."

Play from 23:16[23:16]" Opt for harassing you for the rest of the playoffs. I think he -- out I think everybody would want -- did you have a huge design and don't doubt that's -- what they do so often so frequently it should just be actually an episode. Just UN will -- and -- to be continued -- you know next break they're going to see an end of that one that just keep running and I live skit. Well they do so your ideal mud holes for -- super I don't know I don't know -- regular -- shall we just keep Duke to be continued to be nervous getting hit and I."

Play from 23:44[23:44]" I think he's fully doing those impressions I agreed with what we're talking about with the the guys yesterday that the TV show was not great we talked with frank when he was in hear about that about the TV show. But that it happens it's so often during the course of the game they they cease being funny. After -- around cease being funny and just not they're not the Farley has not a good jump Cano. No it's not a -- good jump and effortlessly got to this point Moroccans though I'm not real good off -- look anything like. Brett said to me yesterday Brett said he thought he looked more like Brockman got it was planned wherever Pete Shepherd looks more like Brock them again it was via the -- get. The question about Sara Felix and no that can affect the -- wacky world we live in they're talking about tonight in the vice presidential debate. Of may be up to twice as many people. Watching this debate as the presidential debate people in this country really understand. But the president actually will make far more of the this is that the vice president and doesn't really make. Any of those decisions when they won't know whichever. You know team ends up winning this thing that the people underscore that."
