Play from 0:03[0:03]" Flag to show. Like tonight. Instead to -- another -- they. I'm always been Danish -- like Pittsnogle but how do you like 15 to my Ichiro. Tonight show that you're living. Tonight show it. Question to -- of the shield -- and good luck when Mike starts to talk it will be that the."

Play from 0:34[0:34]" Sports -- yeah WEEI. Are right. We're live in -- 200 studio Fenway Park and cold look at people outside last it is going to be able to -- but everybody should warm up pretty quickly once the the Red Sox start hitting again if that happens in which appears. What what -- it was just like I'm not -- words the Red Sox. Quite -- enough crap room runs fast pitch yes it was fair. It was a pitching performance like that from Josh Beckett first of."

Play from 1:11[1:11]" and second of all via the Walton wal hitting it went on Ortiz -- three. Manny with three Lugo with three hits last night. And you know a couple of guys three guys have been had to reach -- crazy with."

Play from 1:30[1:30]" I don't know."

Play from 1:33[1:33]" That's it. I campus as a way to start groceries and striking out the side in a home run notice but to. Game two tonight as we prepare for Colorado we have wide open phone lines for you to -- your impressions of what you might have seen in last night's ball game from wherever you might watched it and certainly there was -- a huge crowd of crazy people here last night and it despite the rain and it wasn't it never really got heavy enough to be. I don't know drenching him disgusting but it sure did rain for quite awhile last -- don't seem to care. As the Red Sox put up the big 13 to one victory in the the question I have is. The rock where the Rockies just kind of ready to be stunned was the pitching performance. Was -- their nine -- lay off without any live pitching. They caused them to not be able to put numbers on the board I don't really know it could have been any and all those things combined. But certainly as far as one sided World Series games this is one of the top ones of all time -- Francis and Francis. Looked a little bit to me like I don't know wanted to co stars on Ozzie and Harriet last night like somebody who was supposed to be there. He looks like a young kid -- a pretty good pitcher but boy he. He just flat overmatched last night -- Beckett is ridiculous in this post season as ridiculous as he was during the regular season and his great is he was all year long. He really really has -- ramped up a notch. In the post season and that's a great great -- know showing tonight -- course it's out there with a if there's anybody with a better reputation or -- good reputation is Josh Beckett policies would be Curt Schilling. With his lifetime -- I guess ten in 92 tenants who sound like reacted keep track anymore I had a hard time keeping track last night it runs. As you're watching his game I -- help here we go every inning you know the party course afterwards over the baseball tavern was very festive. And I think we're looking for more than say here tonight ballpark source -- broadcasting live from -- twin rivers studio on lands down street again we got a short showed tonight. About 715 we will air. The the Boston College football game. And you bill Lewis -- baseball historically 30 so you would get some of that and before you switch over if you switch over I think most people well some people walk. Maybe watch on one will watch a game on TV was salary were we don't know doesn't matter reason happy happy mood here in the Greater Boston area and we get ready to fly to Colorado tomorrow for. Three more out there and I guess my question you would be do you think now from what you've seen in that the Red Sox will either sweep this series or ended in Colorado in a five game a series that some people -- people haven't talked entered today around the ballpark. Are -- from what they've seen whether the Red Sox will have another game here this year. Certainly he'll be celebrations at Fenway but will there be a game six and a game seven I for one believe. That the Colorado Rockies -- somehow be able to muster. A couple of wins. I don't know what I'm basing this on just a gut feeling I have. That when they get back home in front of their you know the -- World Series starved Colorado the Colorado wins. That they might be able to get some together and maybe beat somebody at a lower part of the Red Sox pitching rotation but certainly if the if they don't win two out there then it's going to be -- feel for them because Josh Beckett will be one of those games against Saudi this guys has been unbelievable 617779085888525 Zurich 50. We have many. Committees -- from Watertown and I'm assuming you're not Manny Ramirez."

Play from 5:24[5:24]" Not not -- without them they'll be ruined my merely calls national army and you know a lot of my chipping their genius but it was a little derby picture was a standing by aiding. I think -- enough. It would just out of control there."

Play from 5:39[5:39]" Something happened to Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis -- post season they're just there rock solid right now and you know you -- I guess with the slow start the post season for. The Pedroia of people were will be concerned we've had calls I don't remember many we -- calls early in the in the post season. All forgettable Pedroia -- tonight. You know."

Play from 5:58[5:58]" Absolutely -- remember you know the other derivatives will be out about each -- knows the air wolf -- whatever it sports you know one yet they were showing. Then 1986 series when the ball went between. Well but there's blank you know Beckett short that I -- commercial or an over yet and so I was so stupid. Very correctly but here although it appears we -- we're winning games and and then other gorge or commercial on the especially not crack."

Play from 6:26[6:26]" Well it's not like they don't have anything else to show since then you know they hit it there there's a lot of moments that that the players on the Red Sox have had even when they lost in all three if they showed the 3 thing that's a lot more relevant and something to happen 21 years ago. And if I'm bill Buckner. I'm somewhere saying you know out -- what do you do it what do you show an -- crap for it's over we're over that. That was 21 years ago and and -- it's done the curse is gone so wake up and smell the coffee."

Play from 6:59[6:59]" what you're gonna get Everett certain committee you have given yourself was coated Jerome he's in Boston -- drum. May I you don't barring a so why -- grader couldn't be better"

Play from 7:10[7:10]" good as bill hum displayed none of that same gut feeling Colorado going to at least make it against six. Around the house call because earlier today they'll are. Talk about A rod -- where hero go and I get a chance to -- I'm acting you. If Iraq was to go to the Red Sox what you think they would like goal Leo Lugo. So that where they can keep Michael at third."

Play from 7:33[7:33]" Well -- you know I'm not sure I'm not sure what they were -- and that's a good question of course lol is is up for free agency. And a mighty mighty my feeling is that if you get a -- it's for the purpose supporting him at third base because I don't know that many people make the transition. Back to shortstop after they've made the transition from shortstop to third base it doesn't usually happen that way if veteran player gets a little older. A little slower in the field. Then the move is and it happened so a lot of guys a lot of guys move a cal Ripken did it recall actors Sally was a shortstop. Who moved to to third base A -- done as well but very very rarely. Jerome do you hear of a guy that goes back to shortstop Baptist -- for five years at third base."

Play from 8:17[8:17]" Aren't our battles in the upper level all they -- wanted to look at on the Egypt and unfortunately it and this year and around. I was wondering you know -- here are we to get a lot in other words you know like going to you either either an all right Claire king."

Play from 8:34[8:34]" You know I think about it Lara but it it's all it's question of you know you're Yankee teams you want -- on that team we doesn't get through these 30 million dollars 25 million right now. But it -- 30 if they keep him right. Yeah is he worth that could you take that. 30 million dollars in by three impact players at three other positions may be good pitcher. Maybe they spent 13 million AB's sign posada I I don't know why they're going to replace him with the Yankees but certainly what do you gotta be disappointed in what he's given you in the in the post season right."

Play from 9:05[9:05]" Well yeah that's true but as a posada I think they've assigned Molina for a reason. And knows that we've there was not a kid nor not to give bomb -- another contract really that's that's my in my opinion."

Play from 9:20[9:20]" Okay I heard I heard yesterday that they were talking to him to posada about a three year I think Pete said it on the sports slash. A three year 40 million dollar deal for Jorge which is about 13 point three million a year and he's his last contract he made ten. But you gotta look at the year that he had to we had a great season. Offensively form -- defensively guys got some shortcomings but. Up beside -- pretty solid offensive player that's correct -- at the tape your next on the planet -- show hello Rick."

Play from 9:50[9:50]" And Mike it's a pleasure and -- what's going on my friend are you doing the -- It would some"

Play from 9:58[9:58]" it's not that difficult to accomplish I've been known to have a few beers in my day."

Play from 10:02[10:02]" Yeah media do brother -- real quick I need you to commit -- Sure director at Fenway Park right yes I am I even near the fox back."

Play from 10:11[10:11]" No I'm nowhere near that amount in center field I'm -- down street."

Play from 10:15[10:15]" I welcome your favor please do doubles mocha chocolate flavor. Q well but approximately you get off and slap that little scraping nick Zito Bergen and Eric -- wouldn't. I am just so secure that guys that can obviously. I mean you don't want the Red Sox to win that immediate obvious spectacular -- I'll play."

Play from 10:37[10:37]" You know he still mad and he still mad about Barrett techtag about it when your title Clinton. But it -- play. Well adjusted cities removed johnnies in Arizona he's probably not to Japanese watching Colorado right now is that he's doing that analysis is that a plane."

Play from 10:55[10:55]" But I mean -- Fox Broadcast go to me man. It's I'd give out -- TV sound down German radio up."

Play from 11:03[11:03]" Well who else bothers you besides Eric Byrnes"

Play from 11:06[11:06]" are you kidding me choke but I -- a part of our you know part of our history could be called an adult or abide. You know return to goma Cabrera recovered fighters to it would take years ago you know no it is not an offense."

Play from 11:20[11:20]" Well you know turn the sound down men -- their words show joke -- degree don't that's charitable to him art yeah. Have a great night appreciate it 6177790850 -- on the card next on when Mikey hello all I'm pretty good I feel great. You know. I had my -- was up here last night watched whose first World Series game if for me it was the ninth World Series game in my life and page the World Series meant a hockey feel any better than haven't. You know access to such such activity out here at Fenway."

Play from 11:57[11:57]" I'd start to exactly a month -- of the structure and that. I wish it goes seven you're just gonna I don't want to shouldn't be over you know I."

Play from 12:06[12:06]" Well -- activated they go to seven that you worried about that last game I understand that a lot of people say they're going to sweep now after they saw I don't believe they're going to sweep. I really don't I think amid a moment Lugo is five I'd I'd I for one depicted to go seven. How that all plays out I don't know when how nervous begin as we watch some like that develop will have to wait and see but I do think that Colorado will win at least a couple games here."

Play from 12:32[12:32]" Well I'm not good example Juan got nervous about every game you know. I don't know about you but I I am not pretty cabinet they look great last night it was terrific that they goodness -- ball on the part. On the way to work right now on cruise around the area. (%expletive) or district it for a parking spot which is impossible you are coming at you. You know an archaeological work to do that we're the -- play what you watch and."

Play from 12:58[12:58]" Well enjoy it. Thank you Paul appreciated. 6177790 or 858885250850 we have time for another one before we get a Pete shepherd slash coming your way it's David the car hello Dave."

Play from 13:15[13:15]" am -- let's go on everything Jacque it'd been playing here are your thoughts and build a baseball Babineaux would have picked in a bit -- about a boy's parents sent. I'd I'd Beckett last night or aren't watchable -- and I were Mark carrier you know last year when he when he when he first came all the all the people around here we're just all all."

Play from 13:37[13:37]" What does as he walked as he walked two guys in the post season I think maybe two batters."

Play from 13:42[13:42]" Oh you aren't -- all all we care what you don't -- that you -- fired up. We got -- 41 -- right there he'd beat you can't separate probably 97 mile an hour on the black he can't go."

Play from 13:55[13:55]" Well certainly when his curve balls working he's that much more unhittable army last night he just looked like. You know sandy called facts or -- out -- or -- particular Greg Bob Gibson he had nine strikeouts he walked one. Gave up six hits but you know we you pitch a little differently when you're ahead by seven -- rate runs. You can you can kind of laid the ball and they're not think so much about whether going to hit it or not."

Play from 14:19[14:19]" I think it's a lately you know that's something that I particularly Arab power not any great -- all -- Why they leave him Eduardo have been much of the between 77 pitches and many treatment is not much."

Play from 14:29[14:29]" Well that timlin comes in and his 15 pitches in one inning of perfect relief who would had a couple strikeouts and then even got yeah. -- 8 my god. What what has happened -- RJ comes out it actually gets a mile out I don't over the Colorado Rockies Hussein right at that point they're down 13 to one but. I'm saying before the game to somebody -- rust on what it what circumstances will. Will lead you to have Eric Gagne in this game. And he said he said ten to one is OK if you bring everyone is tenderloin at you know right to anybody who's effective so maybe they made the right move obviously they must've by put him on -- roster."

Play from 15:05[15:05]" so but I that they had to -- again and in regards followed tonight will be all over the ballpark he'd you know he's he's a young kid. No clue what's going to happen and not. You know I think they're actually playing you know other than helping in this -- dark Tulowitzki whatever his name is now -- how they their lineup is really but I really got back there."

Play from 15:23[15:23]" Well I mean they got a lot of guys who can hit how much of that too when you look at their numbers how much of that is so related to Coors Field. I don't know I've never been a Coors Field -- we hear the stories. I know that Matt Holliday batted 340 for the season and he only hit 31 on the road so he must have been about 37 years something it at home and we'll see if that translates with that lineup and the feeling of them get back home to a couple wins but meanwhile looks good for now right Dave. Yeah -- you have a government we'll take a break we'll get a sports flash from Pete shepherd and welcome back and we'll talk do you until about 715. When the Boston College eagles will play football on 8:50 AM. And the rest of our network will carry the Boston Red Sox game two against Colorado Rockies will be right back."

Play from 16:09[16:09]" Reason to visit the 99 restaurant today. I thought I'd have my feet for something new chicken salad covered in Milton fund Tina -- in -- Her acting shrimp why this season as a reason to visit the 99 restaurant. Savor the flavor like our new car boom shrimp lightly fried shrimp tossed in a spicy sauce or tender filet -- crowned with a blue cheese and -- Apple would bacon butter and served with grilled asparagus and our new Sante and chicken marsala surge with linguine over rich marsalis -- I love the filet mignon. Cooked in nice and tender and high -- stop raving about it. This fall our on among trees are the perfect change of scenery just one more reason why -- 99 is always a great idea. Always."

Play from 17:20[17:20]" Juan Ortiz like deadlines 1 right now."

Play from 17:27[17:27]" I got -- I do."

Play from 17:37[17:37]" probably he's an awful players. Boy can't hit these not clutch. Unbelievable I don't know how you can not love David Ortiz is I don't think I've ever met anybody in my life. -- is an angry Minnesota fans. Who doesn't love David Ortiz. This guy's just the rocket Gibraltar on the Steven -- interest in watching this development Dustin Pedroia -- comes up you know it gets a lot of garbage from people about how he's not hit nearly it is not. Early in his major league career and -- study tape starts tearing up the ball 317 finish relate diarrhea. Season average of 317 and then it has a great post season to a guy's great and I don't care how Pauley is he plays big."

Play from 18:21[18:21]" Look at that cute little girl outside the glass. What's your name I'm -- geez what a beautiful hair she's like Shirley temple. She's like a little Shirley temple out there are you going to the baseball game. No well maybe next time all right bye bye."

Play from 18:42[18:42]" Unbelievably cute -- you know you see a lot of kids the ball park. But a lot of people would have tickets to this event are you know corporate executives who can afford the 500 dollars -- ticket or whatever it is happy crowd last night hopefully another one tonight as Schilling goes to the mound. And tries to get it done once again in the post season against you what's his name you -- though Jimenez. Is that Xavier ball below hey we'll see what happens rookie prize on a game time meat they're -- a car you're next on the radio at all."

Play from 19:15[19:15]" I Gary -- terrific. I don't spot for you there's going to be about the at DH dilemma that Terry Francona hasn't Colorado down. More sense if you got to sit down somebody. Put poppy -- first base you know we have Lowell at third base and put youkilis in right field to sit down -- I'd rather lose -- is gone youkilis is --"

Play from 19:38[19:38]" Well first of all he would when you do that. I and I understand why you got a guy is so red hot in youkilis you don't can't bear the thought of having to sit down. I understand that completely but you lose a lot of of the fence in right field. And and I think I heard -- sport -- say this yesterday and it makes a lot of sense to me if you put a guy in right field in a big game. He's not used to playing that position and and an assist guys on base and one goes flying over his had Europe or gets that -- past of roles that wall. That can be a very dire situation but if you got good pitching going out there you're just minus one of your hitters. You can still maintain and then to have bullets pacers have a guy it's a top quality guy coming off your bench and these. You know spill world played DH for. Asked for Colorado last and I needed that much offense he batted ninth and at the teams are built differently because of the different DH rule but I don't know that I would try to make. You don't make that much of an adjustment just to get the hot bat in the lineup when the Red Sox haven't had any problems scoring runs."

Play from 20:46[20:46]" I don't noticed by the whatever our national league team is forced to use of designated hitter they always seemed about the not at the club but the manager doesn't know what to do with DH."

Play from 20:55[20:55]" Well that's part of it but the other thing is that -- build build build their rosters they have to maybe have an extra pitcher 'cause of the pitching changes that happened more often in the national league they might have to have more left right Horry a you know the double switch type of roster moves where they needed guys that can play a specific this position that they might pinch hit for whether it's catcher what have you and the American league all the teams are built around haven't won very solid guy. Who's a DH for about a 140 games a year Brent as that is it's just totally different and the killer is. -- it's obviously easier to add a hitter four nationally team it is to take when your main cogs in your we'll. Out of the lineup when you go to -- national league park in happens in the all star game they played away it happens in a World Series happens during interleague play and I think during interleague play. Indoor the World Series they should just make it unified if the nationally doesn't come around and bring in the designated hitter rule."

Play from 21:54[21:54]" Yeah -- it's also that don't quite know to do with the."

Play from 21:56[21:56]" Yeah yeah it's true -- did they do hit eighth or ninth the what have you and it's because again they don't have that roster spot reserved for the slugger you know."

Play from 22:04[22:04]" I've made a -- nationally manager I'd be happy equipped to be able to put an extra slugger in the a lot of big -- you might want."

Play from 22:11[22:11]" They don't have them on the roster because they don't need to have them for most of their games they don't have to have that roster spot tied -- player won't get in the game that's true you know. Steve have a great night but thank you Mike in Salem next on Sports Radio WP EI --"

Play from 22:27[22:27]" People like Kenny Mike and two edition world group will also thanks from listening to we depreciated. So it was. So impressive do you -- Beckett last letter probably was early in the -- you World Series game six against the Yankees. But not be fastballs ergo I know -- six through 97 in doing loop the loop."

Play from 22:53[22:53]" Josh Beckett that the -- been he's working out quite the post season career his career has been illustrious so -- he's very young guy. But for guy you know who's only been -- only 26 years old when every is to have as many impressive. Outings in the post season as he's not already in its continuing this year I don't think he's going to have a problem for the rest of the post season he might you know he might really make some. Makes a noise again this I'm like he did know three -- ridiculous."

Play from 23:23[23:23]" The local firms where a lot of great team chemistry and I don't think I'm giving -- low hanging. Team heard trade secrets but I broke the Red Sox introduced Carl -- to be. Prior to our American league east. Our blue."

Play from 23:40[23:40]" Yeah but that was mostly by virtue of the fact they just kept circling the bases that takes time."
