[0:00]" Where the hell was that BJ Upton when we needed. Where is that guy eight. When he could have done Red Sox some good. Well it's it's it's a long series right. Long series you think. -- long and I'm six at least five games not long series it's its ice at may sixth. Like obviously lose too long -- anyway but. This victory its best salary cap -- that's. Ask. You TO. You know."
[0:38]" I still made a great throw he made it even though they didn't do much at the plate you know Longoria and Pena. And -- he had a great throat that kept that they kept the game calls. It was -- game in this is the kind of game Major League based on line was fine this is what they need. Four for a good audience. -- 32 game that doesn't go an extra innings and has some drama and in that game had everything."
[1:01]" Yeah it was -- It you know it was remarkable and I talked a little bit about how I thought the week off was going to hurt Philadelphia. I didn't hurt Cole Hamels and yet I hate that -- Chase Utley it's funny they actually set an all time Major League Baseball record last night. It is the first time in the history of the World Series. That a team has gone as much as all for thirteen with runners in scoring position in World Series game. -- for thirteen with runners in scoring position that shouldn't be possible."
[1:32]" Well but I I don't think -- the layoff because they won the game I -- the layoff hurt them what did what did the activity do for the Tampa Bay Larry."
[1:42]" Activity was Cole -- I mean it's it's it's to meet. What happened at Tampa Bay Rays with simple Cole Hamels who I think is great now Schilling has said. And -- heard him say it with with John and Jerry he thinks the two best pitchers in the game today. Our Jon Lester and call them. Now I don't know you know he knows more about pitching and I -- I understand. I don't know how I'd rank them I do think he's the best pitcher in the nationally. And you know he's he's unhittable in his in the playoffs the season so far I mean I thought he was what happened in the Tampa Bay --"
[2:15]" I know he's he's terrific I like him but the best one in the nationally I don't know because there's some. There's a pretty good pitchers and nationally. Among them Santana. And peavy. And -- So person that's a pretty good guys over there I like him like a lot and -- like the Phillies they'll in this series it make. Here's the interesting thing about that -- come on the -- her without her. Only time a -- is going to hurt you is the first game. OK -- after a layoff hurt them. They were -- thirteen with runners in scoring position they won the game and now the layoff as a non issue as a matter -- the issue becomes in Tampa win a game before going to."
[2:58]" To me now and I agree with you by the the only time that the -- the first game and Cole Hamels negated that yes he was unbelievable. What happens from this point on is. Myers. Jamie Moyer. You know because I I agree with in the playoff isn't the issue anymore to meet Philadelphia's starting pitching is the issue."
[3:19]" Now the one guy like the Red Sox struggle against Andy's comments on I think the the Phillies will too. But the one guy that they should have some pretty good -- that. Ironically is Matt Garza."
[3:33]" I thought they -- who fumble if if they were going to pummel anybody. -- that was Kazmir because I don't think he's right you know it's like Beckett was pitching you know we know you know at less than a 100%. I believe Kazmir pitching."
[3:47]" but it probably is but I think the reason. They'll get cigars and not just. And going to be even more specific match them big big guy that will get to Garza is Ryan Howard Ryan Howard is really for a day Scotland. But I don't think he has the same issues as Ortiz. As as Ortiz had in the post season Ortiz -- issues. They were a lot of them were weight related a lot of them -- just. On the wrist the knee there all -- right thing going on there. Ryan Howard -- that it hitting breaking balls miscues and Matt -- aka from a lot of break. Matt -- got pronounced me."
[4:29]" My -- and problem now is Ryan Howard isn't anything about but I eat not written fastballs breaking balls doesn't matter right now. He's he is he looks lost at the plate in this was what I was talking about when we are going into the series. And I said in a lot of ways that the Philadelphia lineup reminds me a bit of of the Arizona Diamondbacks where if they're good are great and their pounded the ball all over the place. But -- but they've got guys you know prone to some slumps here Jimmy Rollins is another guy -- role model for twenty action before you know it. And and Ryan Howard is and one of those slumps and -- Chase Utley not."
[5:02]" But but it appears in this is this is why don't by the Diamondbacks comparison. Their batters are deeper than the Diamondbacks they have a lot of guys who can hurt you so. Ryan Howard. Has I think three RBIs the entire postseason. So -- played a game last night that's one they played. -- five games against the Dodgers six in the four games against the Brewers so they have. Ten post season games in Ryan Howard a guy who has to stupid numbers now forty plus homers 140 plus RBIs just crazy numbers. You can win. In the post season with a guy like that giving you three RBIs tells me how good you -- so it even if Rollins and Howard go through slumps. And other guys in the lineup who can do a great job."
[5:47]" Did the great stat that fox put up last night is during the regular season. He averages one RBI every four point eight at bats and in the playoffs this year it's one RBI every ten points something at bats right. I mean Ryan Howard and it's it's just you know it's great he's one of those oh my god I can't I can't buy it. Moments and it was crazy even like Philadelphia sports fans that much room for Philadelphia. Crazier about like what what -- root for. Philadelphia when they're not nine about why because of hate on Tampa all of that I actually like Tampa. I I I I got you know if if this with the Yankees the Yankees beat the Red Sox in the ALCS. I mean they couldn't lose big I I'd want to lose you know in three of the if you could do what you want to happen to win -- World Series yet you like. Likeable lot."
[6:38]" I like it's a nice little story Estonia. I know we're going to and it was going to be it's going to be. Already a little part of the story 66 whereas last year. 97 win this year one of the great turnarounds in baseball history if not the greatest -- when they win. Yes. It did hit a couple bad thing that I thought would actually like."
[7:06]" But there's. It won't be. All they want the World Series in the great story."
[7:11]" Happy here going to win three of the next seven went five of the next ten great Joe Madden don't want a year."
[7:19]" it's the issue I'd rather take the bitter angry now Philadelphia sports fans. Haven't had a parade there aren't sitting there are 1983 are nowhere sports -- on the planet and Philadelphia sports that they are worse on the planet but it was like I'm in Jacksonville yet. -- they they want what the item about -- to weigh in on the way into the stadium they wanted to fight to Philadelphia sports fans of the worst on the planet. I I I will under under certain -- is hard and ankle and I got other reason not -- and only one of the concept art. I will never root for a team that Brett Myers -- ever. I mean they can't enough to suit me he can't have not bad things happened to suit me you -- great point I cannot root for a team that he's pitching. I can't I I mean. You know LL cool date result and it's. I did and I got -- against him I like Shane Victorino I like Howard. -- likes guys on that team. I can't root for a team he's pitching."
[8:25]" Let me ask you this -- and it is good point because Brett Myers -- what he did Boston you can't. It's it's on forget -- unforgettable. For a lot of people it's unforgivable. For me for yeah. And and and for and for me it is because I don't know. I don't I don't know maybe while I'm sick and well and and of course it did two hole. And in two holes social issue of how -- wife feels about it and there are a lot of women who forgive. These these abusive -- not because they're reformed -- it is but but. More often it's. They don't have any other place to go away it's a pattern and Monica pattern got rot the cycle on and on. If he is I think it is possible I think it's possible. For a guy. Who has done the most cowardly thing or one of the most cowardly things a man can get any worse would be child. Yet I mean is it is is definitely up there on the top two top three of the most cowardly things. A man can -- I say any man but especially. A man who 6423240. Pounds when every is. Beating up. On. A woman but among -- the mother of his children yet in this street I mean it's it's just ridiculous. It's over the top but I think even a person like that. Just that a ghastly. Dastardly act I think a person like that hand. Changes what."
[10:05]" I agree that that someone can change. Now I don't know and I don't know him I felt I had an aunt and I and I agree with -- You can overcome nets. He hasn't for me I mean I like used to I don't know I may yet I have I have --"
[10:21]" Happened in our city it happened. Five minutes from -- Fenway Park. Everytime you think of the Philadelphia Phillies and Brett Myers. Every time his name has come up since then. I haven't thought about. Brett Myers. Development as a pitcher I haven't thought about him going from a starter to a closer back to a starter again. I haven't thought about any of that stuff the first thing I think of when Brett myers' name comes up is the incident bounced."
[10:49]" I agree and I will never root for team but he pitches four and by the way if if if the -- announced -- made a trade with a Philadelphia Phillies we brought in Bret Meyer. I have a real issue here. I mean all of a sudden I have to. Either I'd have to get to know this person to find out that he hasn't backed. Changed his ways and reformed his life and all that stuff that's probably it was pop that's probably what you would -- but. It would be real hard for media overlooked."
[11:15]" Yeah having you gotta ask some questions you'd you'd have to ask questions but I would think. Even written for the Red Sox for a long time. You probably continue to root for the Red Sox mean I don't know how you."
[11:26]" Felt the I actually don't think the Red Sox would ever bring him man and and and if even if he had done this -- to his wife in in Dallas. I don't think they'd bring him in the fact that he did this to his wife in Boston. Would make it virtually impossible to bring him man."
[11:42]" And I don't know how you. I was working with you at the time obviously I don't know how you reconcile the wil Cordero situation and that was during the -- I was concerned he was dead -- like he would of that moment on it was it was him but what did you. Root for the Red Sox to win game at at absolute and he does Iraq was doing some pretty nasty now -- the difference was they bring him in after it. As opposed to bring in Brett Myers you -- I was on the team right he was on the team and and in your right as far as I was concerned. And and he's one of the few people like think as as that reputation as Boston sports fans that he was the only people like you never think of the cup. I mean he got his as booed every time that they could blow it up except your memory in a home run and people cheer. Right after the I didn't have a few days and it it was a few days are few weeks after that incident."
[12:37]" Now. I I just like I can't on general principles root for the Phillies I actually like Tampa I like Joe Madden. I like Carlos Pena I like Carl Crawford. You know the guys that I talk to -- Dioner Navarro why am I like these guys I don't like -- they beat you know the team that I cheer for right. But I like I I hope they finish it -- And I and I hope they get their ring and I hope they celebrate. The cow -- get thrown into the bay in Saint Petersburg."
[13:09]" With the exception of Brett Myers Phillies are likable. And I hope the rays got on planes to help -- in Flames. Go back to big in the double dogs."
[13:22]" Com WR I will be very honestly -- when I went down. The mailbox the in in my driveway early this morning and picked up my morning newspaper for even one line and what was there. The back page at the Boston Herald all -- At all no direct your injury in peace inside and and thought even there. All -- And I don't know. One on here I mean I'm not a medical person. You know it doesn't sound good I mean my lawyers say it doesn't sound very an awful. And so we've we've we've somebody on the show today I hope. Can talk me off college year. Will Carroll who's been with a number -- occasions in the past and is really good in these sports injury sports medicine -- Well will help us through this. I I heard a doctor. In an interview earlier ESPN. Call this -- potentially dentist. And I'm not a doctor I only know what I read in the paper today and I went in. And now you read Wendy -- is reporting on espn.com. That the Patriots are not very happy. With his choice of surgeons. Eat the logic would tell you that he picked the surge in that he did. And the area that he did for a very good reason he wanted to be close with -- Wally rehabilitate I understand that that's what logic tells yep I mean. Logic tells me that if I'm up if if I'm an athlete and I got a bomb the and I need to get my knee operated on you that you can't get me to Birmingham Alabama fast and."
[15:01]" of other you know what -- I don't think this is a convenience. Issue with Tom Brady and it's great that he wants to be close to a -- But I would think go at the best -- The guy who's going to do the best job that's where -- and I got some guys right here who could do it I'll just say whether that's Boston not I'm not necessarily going to give Boston the edge because the Patriots are here give me the best guy where every year. If he's in Toronto. I go to Toronto -- and parents go to Paris. It doesn't matter but I wouldn't think. I hope the decision wasn't made solely. Because of geography."
[15:39]" The the clinic I've heard the Joe -- clinic -- all -- we know that I have never heard of this doctor. Now that doesn't mean he's our -- urgent I just don't know that name I mean I hear doctor James Andrews ankle okay I know that name I know what's involved there."
[15:54]" But as you said you want to hear when you hear that there's. There's an effect in infection with Tom Brady. And that there have been multiple procedures since the original. Procedure. It makes you nervous and you think. Does this mean we're talking about training camp 2009 is that too optimistic are we talking about getting six. A 2009 is he going to open the 2009 season on the pup list. It's 2009. Out altogether."
[16:24]" got really wanted to figure out if they have to go back and start from scratch. I mean is that and from what I read that is. At least the possibility."
[16:33]" Possibility so a talk with a will Carroll who knows. All things injuries. -- about the specifically we don't have brought injuries in the NFL injuries in the NBA injuries and NHL want to talk about Tom Brady. With will Carroll and just to see what he knows and maybe this is a common thing we're not doctors. Maybe were overreacting to this maybe the Boston Herald and ESPN maybe they're both over reacting to this but I want to. Find out from someone who knows what the -- are talking about. Uh oh what what the what the take is on Tom Brady with disarming in."
[17:06]" Surely hope that all what you just said from your mouth to God's ears that we're all overreacting -- get -- this happens all the time. I don't think that's the case but I hope your. We will all so I just after the top of the hour talk with a guy who just finished a spectacular. Year for the Boston. You know what I think they'll finish in the top five. In MVP voting in the American League this year I I don't necessarily know that he'll win it. But Kevin Youkilis will join us just after 11 o'clock. He had a spectacular year this year -- solid as always defensively. He was gold glove caliber at his position now or first base he was better than average -- locked in his second position of third base. You know he hits all over the line up but when they traded Manny they said Kevin we need to bat cleanup and he slipped into that spot and a great job there to a we'll talk to Kevin just after 11 o'clock and get his thoughts on the season just completed degree."
