[0:00]" Ken Rosenthal from fox sports in right now when we ask you -- is it over."

[0:05]" Now not over but certainly deleted commanding and I do want to disagree one thing. I would think your Red Sox that you want to lead the about the idea is to want to dramatically clothes and all along I've felt that that pitching would be the biggest difference between team is proving to be. The biggest between these teams the Yankees to the occasion yeah on -- added. And the Red Sox -- 60 game winners Daisuke chilling. And whoever the fifth starters so. That's pretty good and that was the reason why but they were kind of -- long entry. In despite the fact they really haven't that's certainly the offensively all want except again. The White Sox. They still like to -- best team league easily and not the best."

[0:55]" How at what point out of the yankees' starting in trouble here with with the wild card he would strike me you when you watch a game like last night. Sometimes you just throw out weighs just one game but when you Watson does give batter over the weekend and mussina having start at art at the start like that. Sometimes a game is a little bit more than a game and that he has to -- major cause for you -- wild card the main."

[1:19]" Great it's restart and certainly it is much over the course of his career knows that this guy's been. If not they'll be starter over the course is very good game. Just don't know which inning early start and so uses -- So I don't count him more than he's doing the two out walk -- trailing Seattle. So I still believe firmly that they can be wild card but I really all. Detroit is. Even without -- easily Kenny Rogers play and I think the way that I've got on. Probably wrong probably Seattle won't open."

[2:11]" present it to all who Detroit is getting back now from injury makes all the difference for them right now I mean there that are getting healthy at the right time when it comes to pitching Sheffield's big loss but they're getting better when it comes the staff right now."

[2:22]" Right the bullpen isn't. And with Rodney -- seemingly throwing well -- huge lift for them. Irritation pretty consistent and Verlander you'd start last night they need more like that from bonderman. And even Milosevic -- georgians were busy young guy can pitch well injury hurt them because they need some stability there. And ability young guys in. Walter Rodgers that I think. None of us really do abuse beat it you'll because the other -- year old I think -- I think he gave them the ability I think the guys stop losing streak in Davis."

[3:09]" I think it is time you know in Boston tends to get as much as we want to get excited about the series early on who wants to -- Michael Vick anyway. To look as far as the Red Sox are concerned at these other teams we start of the show -- by excitement now we've both like the tigers and think they will be in the playoffs. And we saw the angels against the Red Sox couple weeks ago we know what they -- but sometimes the teams that concerned me the most are the ones. I'd simply can't figure out how they are doing what they're doing and that is why when I look at Seattle and I see. -- Ichiro seven a great year and what has been dominant there's no question. But other than that there is nobody even having a good year by their standards Felix Hernandez has been. Okay I guess by what you know -- the new standards of major league starter. But they are not strong the rotation you know Washington's been okay but I still can't figure out -- how they are doing this."

[3:59]" A lot of people can't and I think this stretch of games there right now when -- There's judges 70s out of one on the road the only hole -- again. The eight LA and a right now. So far this form of sport stretch -- the angels -- six last night and it was like man against boys. There where they are because -- offense been very down eight players if you more rbi got a trip open and because -- the they are now where they are because their rotation and last -- looked him in the bottom four in the league in your rotation here. That's a problem I'll -- that problem goes away at the -- exact -- but the fact that there's schedule was very compressed. The rest of the way because two games they lost early in -- two double letters to law -- which means essentially. On balance they've got 30 something and 30 something -- true off days as far as. Game that are -- count so. We've put it altogether can they hold up I kinda doubt. I doubt it at all long run differential was not very good more technical I have to --"

[5:20]" Throws you off from fox sports is our guess American you wrote a big piece that two weeks ago about one different to doesn't mean anything."

[5:26]" It doesn't. In certain cases and what I wrote about the Diamondbacks. In their case I think there are reasons why they run differential was where is when -- deep down and the underside of the bullpen. It happen because it out. Seattle I think -- to actually is we because of their rotation and I think. In many cases -- run differential is in the all -- statistic it certainly is an indicator of July extra and we and that is where it usually."

[6:02]" Let's get back to the Yankees in the case of Mike Mussina roughed up last night supposedly Joe -- Ron do you -- and mussina are going to talk about it today and there isn't thought that mussina will be passed over in his next start I look at who he's scheduled to go -- next hardenne who better than Tampa Bay Devil Rays to face it. Try to get back on track team that mussina has dominated what. What is your immediate -- while it's true that he left -- start at. At any he has not being good overall in the last few starts what does the immediate future hold for the Yankees rotation specifically when it comes to mussina here in the in the pennant."

[6:36]" Great question and they got some youngsters triple -- they can bring up intensity. Is probably equivalent of clay buchholz as far as where he would collateral think he's going to prospect. But he's addicts type of control guy up these great manic but that's the kind of pitcher he is he could get the chance. At this now they have some other options as well. What really intriguing here is how they handle it because -- into -- both have great respect for. Over the years. And -- particular. It's a little bit delicate right now gain on the match or out of mourning in the I don't think they can export I'll put it that way."

[7:26]" Is there any. Is there any battle right now between Torii in Cashman with the long view of what they need right now the Yankees behind test and have really done a great job of building up that organization they have some great arms and it would be so attempting to get a guy like Kennedy in there and we seamen dipped down into the minor leagues to bring guys up in the early part of the season when they are really desperate but. And we see a guy like Java Chamberlain who looks great coming in but there's still some concern about how much they would pitch him right now at this level I mean is there any sort of a battle going on there between how much guys can be used who could be brought up to help the Yankees right now we're putting that rest of the future on the line."

[8:08]" I don't know I don't victory because I think in general Horry kept pretty -- a -- the job or rule. Which of course restrict it from being overused are. -- from overuse in the he missed or is burned out weaver kept people. Surprise -- prospects one of the best years so that's -- little attention to the idea. The Yankees need it'd keep -- fertility. But I don't think there on different ages of art is -- what the view both those guys eating Cashman while he's in the when now in the future are very mindful. Their mission is to win that is all they are supposed to do that is all that Steinbrenner wants to produce."

[9:10]" I would -- against the new ballpark -- a couple of years may have been more money to spend that there's another is this series opens up. -- we're talking about the Yankees and try not to pile on but as transition goes from the present to what will be their future. There's an interesting element to -- will play here which is the Coco Crisp has been you know -- around this town all of this year. And it was a situation where it's eyes were put into after Johnny Damon laughed so suddenly because they didn't want to pay a moment money but here it is in the middle of the year two. Of that for years situation -- Johnny -- and he has already lost his job and remarkably Coco Crisp even with the Jiri has had. Has outperformed Johnny Damon to this point even a deal didn't look like. It made sense for the Red Sox in over four years this transition is happening fast and I think anyone thought it would."

[10:01]" Was the idea that you -- great yeah. I thought he always played well or -- heard time. Means that ago along all of my old the president now he's bounced back but of late but I did think the injury -- Physical wear -- here as effective rate I am surprised that Christians come back like. Off the -- buried. Not only impostor and other places after over the being traded for well there -- a lot of people who put it would. -- very well we've really done now. And we've dealt very common name realistic option -- these."

[10:41]" Ted how about the recent and embassies last few days the Midas touch here for the Red Sox they designate Jon -- he goes down not to triple a but the double it makes a start yesterday they get a chance to get a hobby -- Lopez left handed arm back into their bullpen. Julian Tavarez is thrown into a start on Sunday yet at an altogether it's a 46 to. 74 game sweep of Chicago White Sox Lester tinkered with his mechanics in Portland last night he thinks he may have found some and he comes back on Sunday I mean it is. Remarkable -- since April. There -- only been a couple of instances where things have not gone exactly to plan even if it's an odd. Plan that comes out of left field like the Leicester to double -- into bars into the rotation that we saw on Sunday. I don't worry about research -- Well it's got nine home runs there now right I mean we do he do that somewhere in Atlanta Washington Pedro curve balls in the national league to."

[11:34]" They have a lot of talent and I think we have a lot of talent we have interchangeable parts it's going to work out well in. Let's face it this kind of top money and they can use in out been in the states -- time they can compensate for mistakes. True Lugo I think it worked out as well they were like in yet you think they're probably going to be -- those guys."

[11:59]" True it funny player penalties ever going to be would they thought he was but abuse reasonably productive I think. And I think Lugo would say I don't think these guys are going to be. Players that earned. For proved -- what they were given but I think we should be players Red Sox in. They're very good all the way there when Ortiz Ramirez's physical together -- happen in October they could witnessing I think pretty."

[12:29]" Ken Rosenthal fox make it is a weekly appearance there on WE EI we have been immersed whether we want to or not by the different layers of the Michael -- situation which has taken on a new spin today. And as we talked there was one -- in the -- into this last night would have Major League Baseball team. Just by contractual definition have a harder time ridding themselves of player in a Michael Vick situation -- would Bud Selig have a hard time."

[12:56]" I think distressed that the union does complicate things somewhat but the same time. At the same time. This is so offensive outrageous and it has plead guilty. He exceptions punishment go forward so I do think. If this were baseball not football it would be much."

[13:29]" Double of bono's before election don't -- David Wells we thought he's going to be -- on Michigan for the rest of the baseball season but apparently Los Angeles Dodgers were desperate enough to bring. Wells into the rotation -- comes out he's bunting he's picking up points chase stadium but. Is it enough for the Dodgers to keep them in the mix in the west."

[13:48]" I don't think. It'll it at all and irritation beyond -- Is not terribly consistent Chad Billingsley young guy is getting better and he's okay but. He's also a high pitch count guy well erupted ten base runners in five innings. You're just in a funny place right there a little too old little --"

[14:19]" Ken Rosenthal reports -- parise Julius can I don't -- about east. I don't know we did I Timmy I don't just clean out what I thought isn't going to win easily in October we were just -- definitely not sound like -- I didn't I don't know exactly you know it's it's just -- take -- back. It's they are the best team in baseball not by a wide -- just men like him."

[14:44]" If they all of it all comes together and I think it certainly -- always match. Yeah I do think they can be the dominant team oh every so that's -- think that."

[14:55]" I think everybody is waiting for the offense now you have to. Look at what happened this weekend against Chicago and say well we have to almost throw that out the way the Chicago White Sox pitching is playing tennis that the most unbelievable thing -- that -- this ballpark he's too short -- at their colossal -- that you're."

[15:12]" A dark lastly in the -- is that it is -- but. Follow the -- manager -- GM and I think that contribute."

[15:22]" Well we saw a personnel move in Houston yesterday it would something happened in Chicago do you think or -- Williams Indian okay."

[15:29]" I think -- on any any -- the more -- they. It's around these particular or the owners Reinsdorf. It is gander up at bat -- keep utley and taping is a better chance in any extension there is in fire. And where I am in Atlanta and it's been met at the rate."

[15:52]" All right some great series going on this week including the one up against the and the rise between the Red Sox and yankees' -- extra time Ken Rosenthal from fox sports joining us Sports Radio -- 50 W media."
