[0:00]" All share laughter Q well. Given the way things are going in our industry we may be -- and Mike pretty soon hear million now. Little Steve Harvey from. The original kings the comedies and Steve Harvey. His popularity in Boston maybe for the wrong reasons -- popularity. And Boston and Tampa he's done he has never been better I don't know he's done in this town don't want to see Steve Harvey shall again team. It's funny as much much better in much better in person that he is and TB I mean is this comedy. Count count resonates more when you actually."

[0:38]" Where sit in the in the press box in Tampa. And we have to monitors in the -- one is what they call program -- which is that the line directly out of the track. And you see it as the track is beating up to the -- And then we have a monitor which is the air the witches it's it's delayed by 56 seconds by the time the signal gets. You know from the trucked in the satellite and back down to UTB system and all that stuff so. Can't find the game. And Doug and I are having despite not on the -- okay. But I got my my confidence in the game. And Doug saying it's not on TB yes I sit up TB yes. At it we're going back and forth and back of that and we're doing what people all across and Purdue languages. Again and it took us awhile and we in the built it took us awhile to figure out of."

[1:29]" Very strange thing effort for TBS that in -- handle at the right way -- in issues always happen on Sunday. And and you you probably didn't see this -- a different game in Tampa on Sunday. People in New England were supposed to see. The Buffalo San Diego game we game -- through Buffalo San Diego there were. Issues in this stadium. -- something about there were issues in the stadium so Greg Gumbel and -- dear dear or for during the game. He turned to it and instead of Buffalo San Diego game. If your Patriots and you have some interest in what's the big deal about the Buffalo Bills -- in first place. Let me see them play a little bit against a good team the Patriots played last week -- and got handled by. So instead of Buffalo San Diego we got the very competitive Pittsburgh Bengals game. That's 38 to ten."

[2:23]" Ryan Fitzpatrick olive -- all of -- professor at -- got a chance to implement it. Well at that point it looks so against colon. In his life he could be grad school right now. I saw his G arteries he should not yelling in the NFL I never saw the quakers of -- to happen. So we know we saw that it happened but they handled it differently that -- different game. -- but you know they can give you a different game that they can have given you something. War related to Red Sox raised and these -- About an update about all of all of their announcers including yours he'll grow up from. They couldn't get the signal from air. Again in court you know Ernie was there with there cal -- that they have they have a sports person. At a sports -- on on Everest and all they sports sports department is either NBA. Major League Baseball it's that. Sports person or -- this. Is knows. TPF doesn't have right now and maybe they got a half of Frankie valley ranch with the dog was an act as a person nations for a 45 minutes ago. We figure out what's going on I don't do news they -- sports they -- the partly shows like you know which watches anymore. It. -- I would like I'd love to -- 7733. Runs --"

[4:07]" Sure they don't think they didn't even have the only lied human beings they have. The guys doing sports and all of them stepping up."

[4:17]" Are certain shows for example like. Severance. It balcony to watch the reruns because all the pretty much. -- at Jefferson that's oblong. Good times. As drama. Ball so committed to move -- stand -- you can watch right. I have all dvds for all seasons of 24 to just can't keep back watchable and over again and so recent 224 he can't do it because -- recent -- I'm sorry -- not -- I don't want Sampras I would want to get 1970s. Show. So yes of distance and then you can go back in reminiscent all the other things that you do dale. Let that all of that all things that you're doing them. So you think the TV ratings will be in Boston in Boston for game one of the World Series -- and not -- Yeah I don't think but we were talking about the World Series this morning."

[5:17]" By the way it's your fault. Conference call -- 8 o'clock. -- Talk and and and -- Eyes. And work in. Right -- network in my path as house traffic and I said yeah I'm just not yet not -- them the night. It better than it normally is getting on the pike and Michael's. Work a few minutes that. And any immediately says I just in the no hitter. In your ninth for. Normally it is cyclical that a -- throw -- talked about how better. I get on the -- at 8 o'clock I want in the -- nine."

[5:59]" I'm sorry to hear -- I'm I'm I'm sorry all your seem pretty normal to me though it'll seem affected. But not to answer your question not a lot of people will want to watch the World Series tonight between the rays and the Phillies I think it's going to be great series you're not supposed to say that because. The Red Sox are -- and."

[6:16]" went actually the ratings won't agree. This is this the last of the four teams that were possible. This is the one fox was here please god don't QB to."

[6:26]" This is technically this is the only way the national ratings will be very good will be competitive with but it that. If you have. Classic games that don't go into extra innings yet you know people want to stay up for Tampa in Philly outside of Tampa and -- LE. But if you have a lot of you know we have some 76 games. Some 54 games you you have all east coast times. So that's that shouldn't be a problem you shouldn't have games ending yet you know 12151230."

[6:58]" the local radio data."

[6:59]" Unless it goes game six. And then John and Jerry will be very disappointed because. Barack Obama has some time on fox. And they've moved the starting time back fifteen minutes. But if you have. Some red."

[7:14]" I shocked if you have to -- cycling race I've clicked political and rejection yet your Major League Baseball and or fox. You can't be moving. Your game time. Because of hope of -- a paid political. Or not because you can't. I'm in its just my opinion if you want to buy time Barack that's fine. We're not know I gained two to accommodate. We're not doing -- you don't you do if an athlete and we're not wind -- moving our game to accommodate one party or the other or either false -- about the business of television. When when their billions of dollars on the things on I promise you Major League Baseball is and a helluva lot more money than Barack Obama is. They're paying billions. For the TV. Fox is paying billions to Major League Baseball for the rights to TV. Barack Obama is paying millions right right mark fox is paying Major -- Barry St. billion dollar TV contract. How can Major League Baseball allow fox wait a minute to win their prod on a hostile policy. He does that. Fox. Is paying. Major League Baseball. We're paying you know you've got the money so since we're paying you. And you you should know this by now you're not going to tell us. How was going down got to tell you we have paid for -- they -- can't do this when dale -- league baseball. You've says try to get our act this -- and I was Saturday that your schedule I want we've had it here for two months. We knew the whole AL BS ALCS and World Series we knew every game -- every game time. Now one of the politically and I don't even care which one that's not my point at all right now matter to me which guy if John McCain wanted to buy time. And move the start of the baseball pay -- that you can't do."

[9:00]" The listen to others that Taylor this is not even debate. Because it happened. He'll hit Major League Baseball had any -- it would happen they have no Jews they have cashed the checks from fox. The the money is already there they have been paid and so now fox says because we paid so much money. And we can recoup. Three million dollars a drop in the bucket short but it three million dollars that we can get just by removing a starting time back fifteen minutes what bill."

[9:29]" If John that it they've -- John McCain went to fox tomorrow. It's it looked at a whole bunch more money game five I I I know I want right after rock. Put him back another half hour I want by that half hour there. -- into it again no they wouldn't do it on the same day but -- why not want to bank money what that would just yeah baseball's got a Jews."

[9:49]" Yet baseball doesn't baseball -- if fox wanted to do it. That fox probably wouldn't do it because they've done it already would Obama but if if John McCain wanted to buy time for game two game three game four and it be smart. I would do it and I would. One up Barack. And I do in the first four games saying and to their whole George urgent thing that's going to be this week. So people that audience will be there in the first 45 games maybe there won't be a game six of the World Series. And and that advertisement won't be as strong as -- could be potential."

[10:23]" It's idealist -- allowed it in Joba came with the enemy you know -- managing. I have a chance in this bracket I could be if I had the desire to do so. I could be his political about other -- I can talk about I don't know bothered in the thought the other -- but packet in the Cuba. -- All but to beat that. -- He -- adherence today in my job he probably driving over to the college right to speak up there pocket Yakima. Right now somewhere in in someone and motorcade -- listening. The dale program at west there's -- what are we have to lose an act of ominous. That holes earlier. Where ours and it -- there was it it was an insular yet to meet the idea that they're moving. -- World Series game to accommodate. Their political candidate. Is just predict."

[11:22]" I would think this dale because we we care so much about sports we're so passionate about sports. Maybe we'll look at it a little differently than everybody else I mean this is tea this with the political season and only happens every four years."

[11:37]" that for about the last out. Amid all this political season has gone Saber -- but we were -- couple weeks away from the election every four years epic weekend now. We can deal with a candidate from either party. Buying some time in and telling the World Series game -- fifteen minutes a World Series game about it -- care about is that."

[11:58]" Well -- I don't care but that's -- that's why and and if it's one my my concern with them moving it has nothing to do with my. Staying up later you know I'm not being John and Jerry about this I don't care which candidate to be it's ridiculous that. Fox is allowing it in baseball is saying -- but it -- answer I'll have another eyes just. A joke."

[12:20]" They've taken the money they sold out and and so it's box but this is not a news flash at at at and Islanders last. I well I don't watch some tonight because with what we do. You know I I I'm I'm I gotta be honest I probably won't watch nine innings and you know part of it is you know you -- thank him. This had gone better this have done different you know."

[12:45]" He's going to be fantastic series I will watch -- be into it. It is too bad the Red Sox couldn't get there but if you look at the Phillies look at the rays. I think big game James described perfectly this morning says it's an intriguing match I think it's intriguing because. The rays have a better rotation no doubt about it. After Cole Hamels -- real bad for the -- real fast you know Brett Myers. Jamie Moyer Joe Blaine -- a big Joe Blanton fan -- have a great rotation they do have a great bullpen and they have a tremendously better."

[13:21]" They better have a great bullpen is going to be -- get a little maybe maybe not tonight they have what best but -- should be there tomorrow night they have the best pitcher in the series. -- Cole Hamels is the best pitcher of of either team. Now. You get past -- as you said it drops off real fast and I love the rotation of Tampa much more in the rotation I do."

[13:43]" I like calico Philadelphia's bullpen. Like Philadelphia's lineup. Tampa we know this Tampa can go on stretches where they look like you can't get him out. So this is no disrespect disrespect their lineup but Philadelphia has guys. That we don't even talk about why we also a Ryan Howard he's great in and -- and Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley. Really talked much about Shane Victorino with -- very good player I want one of those guys as -- center fielder on the other team I'm I'm telling you though. A guy like that from either side might be a Willie I -- For a Tampa R Shane Victorino one of those guys it is just my my my gut feeling one of those guys going to be yeah. Series MVP."

[14:33]" the big hole for Tampa is in right field. -- game gross stinks and Rocco Baldelli. On fortunately because it is it is physical condition in can't while they're playing right field for every right. It is it is the gaping hole for Tampa is in right. The rest of their team is feeling good. I mean right field stat -- I mean."

[14:54]" Right they don't have you don't look at any position on the raised and say. While that's a real problem. That -- solid solid. All around solid to spectacular. Another solid in center field at at times spectacular in the same player and BJ Upton Carl Crawford Crawford -- Iwamura. It is is good he's very good Longoria and Pena -- mean it around the in the dugout in a good manager. I think it to be a terrific series and go with the Phillies though I don't think it goes seventh in philly's sixth."

[15:32]" Take Tampa -- You think a big guys that's pretty quick -- I I think that all week off this time -- killer you know every manager would like to have a couple days off. You know rest his guys you know get -- rotation and sent up no manager once a week -- I think it -- ID it it always hurts. And it Cole Hamels loses tonight because I think Philadelphia is going to be really rusty. It puts them in such a hole because you get past camels and your licking your chops when he hit against the rest of that rotation. You you have to have Hamels when it starts. For Philadelphia win this series will."

[16:08]" Yeah I would think so for Philadelphia though or or if Hamels doesn't win his starts. You win that game ticket would -- and say -- I don't know which isn't exact but this seems normal probably. The Phillies. They they take care Milwaukee in four games. They take care of the Dodgers in five games and they haven't had a series go the distance yet it's an okay four games our first series. Five games -- next series some time off. We take on Tampa. No problem two games in Tampa. Not an issue is not like we have to have a cross country flight or we're going to a different time zone. Not that really changes Boris. Like we've had two weeks off when we have an opportunity to get fat on. On pats cheese steak or geno is -- stick broke."

[17:00]" Yeah I'll be curious to see how they've other respond tonight 'cause I'm I'm expecting. Tampa to win tonight and then and it and beat Cole Hamels I I really think they're going to be Hamels which is why I think it's going to be tough for Philadelphia win this series. I think I think temple wins and five or 66 at the most. We -- I think it."

[17:21]" I of course of course they are on the we saw them -- five times this year. And we -- went fourteen of 25 games. Against the Red Sox. Lately they won they won every game they absolutely needed to win they want it. Game regular season and all season so sure that they are and we think the Red Sox are good team the -- of."

[17:44]" Sullivan -- much tougher division Philadelphia did. And -- play at a high level all season long Philadelphia had to scratch and claw in and you know game by that. Harris their Jennie chin chin in a much weaker division. I just I I think Philadelphia is good theory worthy. World Series participant. Olympic -- if the Red Sox were opening tonight at -- Who would you think in the series. The Red Sox versus the Phillies."

[18:14]" While. You know what under the Boston probably would. And I and I did I'd add ten to lean toward the the -- home to and I know I know this is hard I would probably go with it I'd probably go to Red Sox."

[18:28]" It if you could and I know it's hard and I am I'm not downplaying epic you -- divorce yourself from where you live and all that stuff. I would I would think the red -- in in my opinion the Red Sox would be the better team but you don't."

[18:40]" But not overwhelming favorite -- not overwhelming. And don't it and it would make me nervous. That the Red Sox were facing the Phillies. -- that's. That's that's quite a lineup. The deal with -- now I think the Red Sox would probably feel very good. You know opening the series at home and going to Citizens Bank Park and in in teeing off against some of those guys. I -- of those stars you know Joe Blanton before they familiar with him from the American League. Brett Myers Jamie Moyer I think they'd be excited about it and I guess if you want to go with the theory. That some people put out there that you know power arms win in October. Well you'd probably have to go with Tampa Tampa has more power arms in the rotation. In the Phillies and and in the case of Brett Myers he's a power arm was a little erratic. Personally and professionally."

[19:40]" that's partly part I can't -- out now and aren't Myers on it is and that part. -- stick break we'll get the call here's the deal Ken Rosenthal who normally joins us on Tuesday it's. Agreed to to move things to today he's going to join -- half an hour from now he'll be in Tampa. Award will be part of the fox telecast intro for tonight's game Ken Rosenthal is that 1110. Will make our final regular visit of the season with the Sox skipper Terry Francona twelve and he's got some physical things that he's going to be taking care of and and my guess is sooner rather than later. I mean if you're Terry Francona you know you don't have a whole lot of down time. In in the baseball season. But you know you do have the holidays with your family -- my guess is he'd like get this over with so that he can at least enjoy the holidays with his manly and you know have a chance to sit around the Thanksgiving table and watch football ones and I'll applaud them take naps in. In overeat all that stuff that we all -- to help my guess is he's -- try to get this done as soon as he can. Talked about it he'll join us twelve to and we'll get right to the -- would you guys that there's a lot of stuff in the papers today about. You know the hot stove has already apparently been stoked up here in Boston. You know whole idea of Mark Teixeira and Tony -- as a -- indicated in the globe yesterday that the Sox have a serious interest in Teixeira. Most of our conference calls -- is we try to figure out what you do if you get because it's a legitimate right -- by the way."
