He's -- tonight should be your bit in pain tonight show he's the music that cheeky after the questionable -- show. We're almost vampire when Mike starts to duck then it will be -- and --"

Play from 0:34[0:34]" which. Yeah when he and I don't -- I have failed at his -- Mom gone way back off the sports authorities signed a three -- homer for Rocco Baldelli. Yeah. You have a."

Play from 0:50[0:50]" My friends I know where I don't going to be hearing from him this is no question about that and what was your. And I can't help but go back to Saturday night a little bit here on this because I don't buy you folks but I sure felt like. That was the one the Red Sox had in the bag. Or at least it looked like they could've had in the bag based on -- in the heroics that performed by the Red Sox players and Saturday night and I thought all everybody with that a couple of exceptions. On Saturdays and everything they could do to get the Red Sox and distribute two games tonight it wasn't the way it happened except Josh Beckett. Well Josh Beckett one of them actually. John I was going to group going to a couple more details on that but dent in that game right there you come back here Boston gave to two games to nothing. And today doesn't feel quite the same way however now. We have very 8822. Games to -- situation for the race and facts. Is not good. Because a lot can happen here now in negative fashion based on what's coming up and pitching rotation as well you don't know but here's what we got. We have a problem Houston. -- with some key hitters in this lineup and I had just. It's pretty obvious you lead -- guys over the series. And he continues to lead off that you're going to have issues. If you're number three hitter you'd DH a big man poppies open the series. Then you're gonna have problems. And of course you know Ameritech hasn't had a hit in the series either although we did get a walk and scored the only runs in tonight's game I'm. You know this is a guy if you count on him with a 222 batting average and had a regular season clearly an off year and that he got problems anyway but."

Play from 2:33[2:33]" Look. This -- not the same you know we all -- poppy everybody. But it does anybody out dude thinks his swing resembles the same swing he's had over the last 45 years in Boston yeah future -- him. Definitely. A problem with his power stroke his bat speed. He's just not yet his swing doesn't look right -- arm flail at a couple pitches clear that what he popped up against choruses. Of a telltale sign is oh for the ALCS so far and it's just not him. That's not the way he is that's not that's not what he's made of -- problem. You can say what you want about me being on line -- Youkilis batting behind Ortiz hitting for 29 for the series he would do well today he had an -- today -- today. You know Dustin Pedroia. I was the only guy really in the top in the first four batters -- did anything well the problem relief through the first three games Mikey is -- only have three guys really producing on offense Pedroia Youkilis and -- well and they did produced the other -- way that I thought was a -- when they have the four home runs and and Pedroia had two or they were looking like they were really going to get -- done. And eat those boring -- has kept coming back here comes Beckett you know out again to pitch after he clearly doesn't have it and you know when your starter. Yours starter in game two gives up eight runs how many Renee. Eight. That you're not going to -- very fun night is no question about going into tonight's game -- got injuries that are Jon Lester of the dead it's been. Performing surgeries. He gives up a couple long balls and maybe that's not the end of the world -- the Red Sox are hitting at all but hitting at all they're not. Not driving in the runs -- they get going today it was a listless performance of the of the offense today would maybe the exception of Pedroia. You really had a it was -- a team without fire the fans were taken out of the -- league down five nothing. And it just that was the end of for the rest today -- now down two games to one. It's actually possible. For the Red Sox to not have to go back to. To Tampa bay but that's based on Tampa bay winning the next two games and ending this series in five games. Now you go out there an in game two you win that game somehow you come back here to zip everybody's all fired up maybe the rays are deflated a little bit. But that one game not only potential turnaround from the momentum perspective Saturday night. But it maybe aren't on the opposite end that took the some of the wind out of his sails of the Red Sox who absolutely were anemic today. With the pats seven hits scattered nicely the only run scores on a walk to very -- and in other pitchers not doing some right if he's walking very tech in that situation but Barrett -- scores. After he goes to third on it. Court grounder I'm sorry but if -- only Tampa bay rays and -- look at the bottom of this order today -- saying okay -- very tech Cora. Okay well so we're facing. Two thirds of an offensive attack -- So now they're down two games to one the next game of course will be tomorrow night. At Fenway Park on an off day Wednesday and in the back in action. On Thursday. I guess. The all the good news and today after our big go party the other night and you know who were brought some good karma that night I guess -- we can look at it that way but. Saturday night it was a grueling and you know who knows after what I've seen today. This is a team that needs to individually. First of all. Look at their -- performances. And and go out there and make something happen with each and every at bat try to have each and every at bat B I I look I saw some at bats tonight. That looked like the the at -- of some pretty deflated. A ball players now there's lol being out yeah of course -- mid being missing from this lineup really hurts them offensively because that drops everybody down a notch. That enables you to not have kotsay at first base to have Lowell at third and to have. Youkilis at first it is is the weight there -- way to Red Sox won their games all year long and guess what that's not going to happen. We know it's not going to happen. But clearly. The middle of the lineup did the David Ortiz thing is troubling for me because David Ortiz is inspiring. And and prolific clutch hitter in all of our past experiences with him in much much more dire circumstances that we've seen during this series. Yet when I received from him you know striking out popping up hitting the ball to the warning track -- short of the warning track instead of over the wall. Sadly there's something really wrong with poppies wrist and we can only hope that he clears its up up during the offseason I don't think any hope of him where -- regaining the traditional -- stroke. During this course this post season. Our telephone number here on the of the planet is 61777985888525850s. Are. Our toll free number in that Dodger Stadium right now the Phillies are up two to nothing in the bottom of the first inning. With one out but it looks like there's a man on second and looks like manes -- they have but let's get to some committee sitting. In his career against the starting pitcher fives sixty. Against Blanton says that a bad -- career average fourteen hits 560 batting average against Blanton they're going to walk him. I'll fill -- in -- don't you start us off tonight howry."

Play from 8:16[8:16]" It's a little -- and in my room that. -- eagle. I cannot it and it hurts one goal games -- we shall speak for us. But you know I think at the world opinion now that we lost. -- in the air I mean we make up to thirty million dollar payroll. At the base we million. -- local kid from -- down a street here. What it would it that you are. Give him credit pitching you're young -- Enron we get injuries no question it was yet -- and we know that it it'll leak. Or local ready to shot. Our area. Have also. Poppy but Japanese he's in wrist is we are he's -- excuse -- could not winning. Right meet but it didn't take me any data lineup OKs were argues -- great -- out."

Play from 9:12[9:12]" Quite evident now Jason Bay is hitting 455. In the ALCS about let's not do let's not use the -- thing."

Play from 9:20[9:20]" Now what I'm saying is that is like again what Mike Lowell and or it will last year might. If the issue we that a lot of changes because of injuries -- based. -- But that they used the -- hit just -- that feeling you know like for opera tickets are Patriots might like I -- the status but what I going to strike out. That's right down the middle of the third strike. Guy -- I'm -- in -- it I'm Leah strange feeling might. And it's frustrating moralists. Hey we know what happened Israel or in back against the eight."

Play from 9:57[9:57]" Sure it is is not down last year -- back against the Indians -- came back in these last year's day this year and last UK to compare them because it's a different group of personnel. Well when I'm when I'm going to -- years ago is maybe the manager needs to make a couple of of you know from a oh oh. Well go -- that's a good point look at Ellsbury is all for the series he's your leadoff guy. You're getting absolutely nothing and I love Ellsbury but that's why he's a streaky guy. That would he hit the ball he's he's hit the ball well I thought I thought did seek Coco tonight sinners than Ellsbury -- period."

Play from 10:33[10:33]" Our -- you got changed -- hopeful in the line trustees. Ops pretty cold is it all out of it his bat was used for a -- it is what. -- to open up all moral and people up -- people win the -- We might have to chip it that we don't bet if you're definitely. But -- oh it surprised it --"

Play from 10:55[10:55]" In depth legal but thanks -- that -- would definitely go back to Tampa because that Syria yet to look at that way as -- the Red Sox can win the series now. -- Oliver's still have to go back whether it's one game of for two of they're going to win they're going to go back to Tampa now. That could have been drastically affected -- to waste. And again I mentioned that the psychological factor of being up two games to none and winning that that. Very long and difficult extra inning game the other night. You come back to nothing maybe the razor down when they get back here coming up against Lester who's handled them. Maybe there is a chance for a sweep or two in this thing in five if that happens now it's not going to happen. The only ways -- five as if the race winner and that is not acceptable. Bob is."

Play from 11:42[11:42]" On the phone hello Bob Boston. Hitting like utility how you do. Our football forefront for Cabrera."

Play from 11:51[11:51]" It was well first of all. Leicester was left in too long article quite -- there was -- W look like cy young in the first inning and addressed the game looked like five holes."

Play from 12:00[12:00]" You know -- a couple of home runs a fastball as you know listen I was just talking today about how on exciting that the rays are they don't hit home runs David doorknob hit home runs now last two games."

Play from 12:09[12:09]" Elbow while it was still roll hall of on the mast pike I don't cut it -- school."

Play from 12:14[12:14]" But nobody nobody could ever -- can't protect -- you know yeah."

Play from 12:17[12:17]" Well you're right -- gimme you know he he did settled down after that. It's not Lester -- can have himself a bad outing against a good team especially when you're needs tagged for a couple of home runs. You understand that. What I don't understand is -- Beckett in on Saturday night when he clearly didn't have it our all bring them back out I think two times to offset."

Play from 12:38[12:38]" Exactly like but I'll tell you I will keep you. It's game six in Tampa and I'm looking forward to a Peter -- Sox are except for the quote which I don't is desolate good because you've got to coming as what was was pathetic tonight he's going to know that the -- thing. 97. Mile an -- all the entire game and copy couldn't get a lot of other -- The best it was our last two pitchers. And that it was horrible to watch you got to the plate."

Play from 13:04[13:04]" Well each of these guys as individuals. Has got to look at I think. What's many doing. Was that a triple. Now he just moved -- all right okay good he was not a lot of heart attack as a may have a triple whenever it's a Bobby each of these guys that that are are not producing. You know obviously maybe the shake it up a little bit as far as where they're hitting in the lineup. -- here Rams describing how on unaffected most pitchers would be by seeing -- very tech in Cora. Coming up in the bottom three the lineup they got three out of the seven Red Sox hits tonight those guys."

Play from 13:37[13:37]" We got a secret web but it worked -- so much you got to offer everyone on the coffee kick if you can help us."

Play from 13:43[13:43]" That's it would -- it worked out while grandma's coffee Kiki and I hate you guys on Tuesday got a little ones now little tiny ones Medicare will work. I love -- I takes awarded judge Joe Morgan's golf term -- the -- pretty bad."

Play from 13:56[13:56]" Sorry yeah well -- tell you what I'm so proud about Red Sox are still believe every fiber in my being ruled out of the planet thought the World Series. And I'm looking forward to the next week is focused we got in about six."

Play from 14:07[14:07]" Bob cents a many coffee case what is what we don't eat we will throw to each other at the Red Sox lose our right. Legitimate and not -- and they go. I biopsy later -- in the cart on Sports Radio we -- Brian."

Play from 14:21[14:21]" My case I machine I don't we have that are just late in the game. Horrible yeah of course -- horrible they really. Not only was horrible the crowd got -- early. I think it would carry over from their win Saturday night they test they gave that -- those those great the aspect they needed that out that in extra. Not the first thing right after that EU. -- agree with our couple that they want to talk about shake up the lineup Jacoby lead not broke buckle under the the lady ended the season."

Play from 14:54[14:54]" Well I you know a particular. Game to. I thought that that. Might have been some you do because Coco can bet right handed and you had -- a tough lefty amount you know as a any game like that anything -- ended earlier any kind of --"

Play from 15:09[15:09]" Somebody on the -- Before Pedroia is need to get somebody argues he's got -- in need to get somebody -- before that the waste."

Play from 15:16[15:16]" out you know I'm not even opposed to this I you know nevermind Coco leading off Pedroia. I if you gonna do it that way about having Ellsbury or Coke or both of them up top Pedroia batting third -- his lofty batting average. And that drop drop sports he's down to fourth I -- Ortiz is. Is there. This is a guy who I so believe -- and in clutch situations and he can't do what right now."

Play from 15:42[15:42]" any taken too many strikes."

Play from 15:43[15:43]" And he can't get a better all around I don't know what it is man but it's not over on this wrist -- was going to be more than needed to weather's not full offseason of rest. Or some kind of surgery this is just not the same topic."

Play from 15:56[15:56]" There will be nice to see go to capitol in a panic to what is that."

Play from 16:00[16:00]" Now you know on -- I think it was something with him on the pitching we look at how he blocked the plate tonight in the and he did what he did draw the walk to scored the only run of the game for the Red Sox so despite the -- for three he's no one else scored."

Play from 16:13[16:13]" At that point guys that should have been out of that in any like."

Play from 16:16[16:16]" It out all right Brian thanks for the call -- people right you know people are obviously not not happy about this and I just think it pretty much what does run back -- that is to Saturday the beat down two games to wonder this team. That's you're giving them more confidence as you do -- You building confidence in them which is the -- opposite effect you want to try to come -- midfield go go ahead about."

Play from 16:39[16:39]" They're like yeah I don't that I was going on. I -- actually it Jason Varitek really going to there's talk about I mean -- from that killed the home of the hurricane you know have in the tournament you your radio on some. Now knock out on radio --"

Play from 16:58[16:58]" Was that noise in the background. As a TV. Something -- well -- it and it is a ham radio."

Play from 17:07[17:07]" It. It is playing any track there was definitely -- going on -- they're hard to do Bobbitt the cart right."

Play from 17:15[17:15]" They might you are out in the same boat driving home from that debacle there -- Michael I thought it was to block. Ally yeah I guess if you want to -- strategize my sorrow Deborah unto itself. All right but anyway -- come back different upon me most about tonight's game was apparent tactic in the all -- I mean in a playoff situation man on second and third. I -- all Curtis just something can not do -- you know and Little League. I don't -- I mean there was that that was a harbinger of bad things become."

Play from 17:51[17:51]" Well he you know we might have swung and missed added because that's -- season he's having he's just you know not in this has clearly been his worst offensive season at a that we can ever recall Red Sox uniform."

Play from 18:02[18:02]" They'll also screamer and are all very often I mean what do we feel he's not a kitten -- square once again. I mean is it because -- I mean what was I mean if nothing else."

Play from 18:15[18:15]" I don't think Ellsbury is that great of -- I think he's so fast that if he wants he can get on anyway and you know the the numbers will defy -- you know his speed will defy all the potential there but I don't think he's that great blogs on the other night trying to bunt the ball hit him in the face. Obviously that's going to be part of his game should be part of his game he's still young guy maybe he should do more of it. I don't know but -- I don't see him the bunting ability of cocoa -- who's been experienced in bunting for a long time. I think in this scenario where you got Ellsbury -- for one every years -- the -- thirteen or something. In the series. You just put cocoa up top and put Ellsbury nine to get it get done with it. Coke goes three for six in the series you sit 500 in the series hit the ball pretty well -- real fourteen for fourteen -- make that move. Now because otherwise. It is making sense you can say a regular season you could hang this guy I'm going to let him get yourself out of it and you know give a vote of confidence on the stump but right now. He's an automatic out or has been in the first three games of the series. And that's not what you want leading off."

Play from 19:23[19:23]" Right any luster had one bad hitting but I think tonight it was all about the offense and I wasn't seeing any art at the plate Pedroia is great. And a guy's got all the heart in the world who's played all it was great you know -- block the plate. But no he's playing what part I think where I mean I don't."

Play from 19:39[19:39]" Are pretty Pedroia is I'm sure Youkilis isn't an aunt and you know in another question poppies Hart -- record."

Play from 19:46[19:46]" Like Israel Stefano yeah. I don't know I think Tito's moved on Saturday night loom much larger now album is great manager but you blow Saturday. And now it's not going to be about 2 o'clock you know."

Play from 19:58[19:58]" I'm not going to question Jason Bay now when he sued for 55 in the series which -- all certainly Mandy asked type numbers. J. D. Drew is what he is and I hate using that term but that's really kind of what I get from him. This guys had 250 for the series but he's not popping the ball he's grounded to second. The heart in this team. -- it is a team that came back last year is John set against Cleveland we know that. They came back in the ALCS in 4 in the biggest way imaginable. So and although these are different characters they're managed by the same group. By bite Francona set I don't have any problem thinking that they have a within themselves to come back and win this series however -- good what we saw tonight."

Play from 20:40[20:40]" Not all up the -- what's helping get it done I would do Lamar."

Play from 20:43[20:43]" You two -- later 61777985888525852. Providence we go for frank go frank."

Play from 20:52[20:52]" Like drive it home -- props. Evening couple quick point to make first saw that BJ Upton home run right. Man I gotta -- L other then a couple of many home runs and era at home run off Derrick Low and game three yard out for the -- yes that is one of the hardest hit all I've ever you know."

Play from 21:13[21:13]" going to let up Beckett to a Saturday night that was about he got. It only had nine home runs or regular season but he's got a stroke going now and he's got a really good swing. For skinny guy he had he has deceptive power. And I think it's remarkable kind of reminds you Soriano at one point during his career where you need to take a swing at the boys and while he's not that big and applaud this move out."

Play from 21:36[21:36]" But even even more balanced -- prettier swing that Soriano."

Play from 21:40[21:40]" did you think this guy continues to develop and I'm sure he will they gather rays have a chance of being exciting next year. He's on watch what does that Bertha Torre today the Red Sox were. Since I said that the Red Sox in the bottom of the rays have started to become more exciting indeed -- unfortunate listing Newman said that. I don't want to show him -- thing to."

Play from 22:00[22:00]" The other thing that's been injured as they get a heavily on this how utterly not. According to the script. These first three games have gone yeah it's -- really."

Play from 22:09[22:09]" Luckily you don't use it if you told me that the first three with Beckett and and and Lester and Daisuke that Daisuke is the only -- it's going to emerge -- the victim I'd say you're --"

Play from 22:18[22:18]" just an end and for Beckett and Kazmir the -- get knocked around big time it and that's."

Play from 22:23[22:23]" It would take before and -- middle of the seized those the two -- that would be exactly one right."

Play from 22:29[22:29]" You know I culprit is my hope is that you know maybe maybe things will continue to be shaken up then and we we are going to the script for the for the rest of -- in. I still think it's going to be seven games series. And that I'm on bumped cautiously optimistic that. -- and not be able to do the Beckett and last year a second time what they did the first --"
