[12:59] ..." Damon's banged up he's back in to the proposition. That we likeness Richie Sexson -- on board. What is the greater total number of hits RBI.

[18:11] ..." and Comcast will be doing live to us -- McCoy stadium when Julio Lugo makes his firstar L man of your -- factor."...

[19:04] ..." In Portsmouth in those TV stations. Were in in. The stadium -- David Ortiz in the so like and it was Ortiz from which you could see that it like channel seven would do that would"...

[0:01]" Oh. All right let's review what do we learned the playoff rotation is that Lester Wakefield dice game yet that's really -- going in rotation that get out of the bullpen Dice-K Wakefield. Your shortstop after all these years since Nomar for God's sake is now set with -- yeah. Well maybe next year ago left the somebody new somebody different right now it's hard to believe. Notes not a big problem but it's going to be an -- them. Julio Lugo as to who have viewed -- a deal one year where you say maybe we can load them. And he's not viable. In the National League the way that rent a wreck was. What you do. This you know leave that they do I refer you to rent correct in the you'll either they won't buy it they gave him house. That Brett correct. Antwan Odom. And you only had to it was four million. Oh right now -- if you get through this year in August that will be he Eaton is. Eighteen million dollars for a player who was never any good. Sorry -- year. Give effort you -- real mean. Game pace like the idea that there went beyond that -- At Sebring did that he brings nothing good on -- it was he was a three time all star yeah nationally the they'd -- change of scenery and -- agency got the sense that there was some salvageable. Talent inside and Korea somewhere. Other than -- apparently -- big play offense camp to either. And clearly is better players -- said like in the -- I mean obviously we all know we'll see we have our eyeballs -- get ourselves better all around player. He's -- you know 327000. Have a -- is. You tell me why you would ever even look -- Julio Lugo was way again -- it and this is probably the way they'll have to."

[2:02]" By this in their own mind. You're at the two salaries together lotteries and logos split half and say you know for the price of just a little bit more than what were -- Lugo. We're getting somebody you can handle the position what would you do it again what he'd do what you do. Some guys get out right releases Jerry with two years. Alex and bring him back in and you know maybe this -- be -- and Lowry will play. Decently will play well not hurt the ball the way past points out it's like the old Nomar days when Nomar would blue ball you know every third game. Averaging 21 errors in his six seasons of shortstop of the Red Sox and go to the plate and rate. There is no redeeming. Raking they're getting. There's -- by Julio Lugo I mean he -- the ball he throws the ball away and he can't get any woeful with runners in scoring position salary doesn't bring anything broke him a run in last night if it awarded to -- at ten RBI. That's like two years logos and I really doesn't that was all -- as."

[3:07]" Old 27 RBI in 340. At bats. 22 and you overestimate. Itself Williams threw -- to 268. And -- 61 at -- government 22. RB yeah. That's an in this kid as ten RBI and now in what sixty. -- two at bats. I think he's on pace to pass Lugo like in two weeks in RBI. And you know -- there with the eyeball test just look at this look at them defensively offensively. Look at his demeanor is comport meant he'd tell me. That he doesn't have it all over Julio Lugo. I mean at every every facet of the game and."

[3:50]" And if there's a downside in masse went to Saturn is article -- salary did that the Tito says the foot speed is in there which means he doesn't have the range well you know what I would like to see some sort of contest deceit you can go of their left better and pick up a ball over second -- of -- rear -- Lugo Pedroia. -- the Cubs -- street -- lull -- I -- care about at this point -- is that -- make the plays -- exactly get the balls and -- two catches the -- he catches he throws -- by -- two nights ago when -- that bloop to left in -- terrific -- it was -- foot -- that -- in anticipation and there was -- judgment -- what -- did -- Like trying to look for flaws in the -- it -- a long -- lacks -- than -- it was a backhanded compliment that some people -- I don't care what they say about -- that the -- can make the -- with -- won gold -- you know. Not so sure. Jeter has foot speed like. Notes printings B but whatever whatever we don't get -- that the question this does anyone in the -- corner -- on this night. I just local can't even make a case for -- what you do with the next year no one and you were you would have to -- Fifteen yeah that won't happen. Off the bat because obviously rates in million dollars an amateur you know win the the -- heels and if it does feel mid September to leave an attempt to bring him back penalty and holly handled that let's just assume that somehow some way to get through this season nothing's -- happened. Clearly the -- guy with such lack of offensive and defensive skills Julio Lugo with a two million dollars Beckham's contract we will see him at the picnic table in spring training at Fort Myers in mid February. Try yet again a clean slate that gave him one last opportunity. To be the Red Sox shortstop and at some point. About a year from now I'd say they'll make the decision is what they're going to do. Either -- viable and -- and they can they can put up with -- peccadilloes literal holes there are in his game on on both sides of the ball or they'll say you know what that's --"

[6:01]" So I think in the spring that would have flamingo just -- have to go to 67 weeks of embarrassment. Of seeing salary I'll play him in and overtake is jobless that you know go for the new shortstop but he sure who yeah maybe now. Keep the revolving door going get on the shortstop in the but I they've tried David Wells shorts they have late. Utility -- and -- they don't need you to Lugo. I don't know it's -- the Dodgers bounced them around as he played second isn't it sick old daughter calls him around he really got out often -- it played outfield -- NL but. He you know he doesn't serve any purpose is still bat Germany's like guys hate the guy like his effort managers try is just not happening shirts keep them up at night right. It's gonna have to write them big check in I think in March yeah and then say you know it's been fun and good luck getting another job if he signs for the minimum I think that'll. Count against the."

[6:59]" I'll talk -- muttered grant of the eighteen million behavior just waking up on wondering how it went in Seattle the answer is this give it was a very very well it went very very well Dice-K dominant. For seven innings last night actually went from blue eyes when he but he -- was dominant for seven innings he is now eleven and one. Daisuke falls Lester gym Monday night. The way. But the red -- struggles on the road that does not include Daisuke doesn't. Daisuke is five and bowl with a two point two OERA. In his eight starts away from Fenway Park. So while the Red Sox and certainly the Red Sox relievers struggled mightily on the road Daisuke is not in that country club."

[7:42]" So he went seven in the third -- 99 pitches I could guarantee you with the we can understand everything he said. Last night yeah was what the hell -- taken me right or in 99 pitches and I think he would have liked to complete the game yeah."

[7:57]" It's in the man he said through his interpreter after the game if I couldn't throw complete game today I don't know when I'm going to do it sounds like a shot at them. LE Meehan TO but nevertheless he came out after a seven of the third. He walked three and struck out six and you're dying to know that so he was. For Daisuke very much in control of the pitches. Here's the best news perhaps. Hideki Okajima got the final two outs of the eighth inning. In the perfect bridge -- Jonathan Papelbon who pitched the ninth for his thirtieth save. -- were here he would have led this entire little summary with affected javy true it is eighteen home run with two outs in the first inning -- Red Sox -- one nothing lead. Hum. I was looking misplayed a ball he gave and he could jump the wrong spot yet yeah that was tonight's effort idea that the Spiderman thing on the wall when he turned his back on the ball at least the wall he wasn't where -- I did some people like to laugh yeah."

[8:53]" Nice catch by the fan but. Look at Daisuke until the eighth giving up to its do you appreciate and -- yes and gave -- five total witches. Impressive for desk if five it's 31 loss. That's like a career low in the three walks. In 99 it's easy now has 8263. E -- animal -- your number two starter the playoffs began today his status cy young stuff those numbers are among the best in the game. Those two numbers in the year when talking walks. Were tucked in record and ERA and its pretty approach didn't -- Daisuke in the playoffs for your first pro game. Yeah you know it's that you know that happens yeah very effect on the road and you know like young guy's ego or CO buckles -- about ethnic and last year. Wakefield. Lester Wakefield. Daisuke and then a little break back to Lester yeah Buchholz comes back yet as well. Buckled would you use Beckett in the sixth and seventh -- like this depends on Masterson between now and into the season Masterson fails to -- there's not a role for -- it and that's true you know office through you know might have to be an -- that it might be like Wakefield -- Julio go sit over there -- Sit down by the --"

[10:11]" Offensively J. D. Drew who told his eighteenth home run first inning to counsel show what nothing Red Sox. The Sox added three runs in the fifth inning last night started by good. Okajima doesn't successful throughout bridge to Papelbon Jacoby Ellsbury starts the rally in the fifth inning albeit with a bunt single. Georgia a bad throw Beltre yeah actually Adam Pedroia hits a line drive that day hits the file line on the left field line for a double. -- remember last Madrid man and now you now he he -- it may be elsewhere this year to burn your hand if you touch them. And a J. D. Drew enjoyable and a sacrifice flies to end the inning Mike roll RBI double so. There -- nothing it's temple close losses."

[10:56]" Yankees win win big again. Yankees remain two games back in the loss column -- is still -- to believe. Yet smoke and are you mean yeah how elevate two games back in the loss column. I mean everyone asked this question deals that break and -- I don't know the answer is as. Who was more of a threat Tampa or New York to the for the Red Sox in the division. Who was more a threat to win the division Tampa -- New York well."

[11:23]" I guess it depends. It into which eggs into which basket to put your eggs young at -- crap that doesn't get a given just under and I'm just thinking out loud here thinking out -- I'm mulling. Your queries. Okay call me. I am mulling your queries I decide. Whether I want to we hear it whether whether I want to go with young athletic system who'd. Really haven't been tested you know you know all -- by way memento and a appellate. The team that at all has been in the spotlight and puts up the distractions and all but is injured and just one guy -- another but you have."

[12:02]" We got a week left 98 days left to the trade deadline and then you get the waiver deadline and August who's likely Regis. Well everybody -- a wall to win -- division or not Richie Sexson that's true you know it's -- get some big hits against lefties he will mean he's Sox but. And I would never want to -- playing full time. But he'll command against some big it will be sit here in the morning watched let's go all. Those were the 300 whatever the pro rated money there had to spend on them. And they'll make more moves like that and and I. -- at the all star break -- said Tampa. Today I feel like it's New York will have lost last night so you know -- we do round that we react on a daily basis. But it just feel when you -- Pettit pitching as well season mussina pitching as well as he is you know that. Again job wise and they got married and Rivera in the upcoming results beer bottles that's truly doing you -- that."

[12:58]" Up but Damon's banged up he's back in to the proposition. That we likeness Richie Sexson -- on board. What is the greater total number of hits RBI. And home runs but Richie Sexson hits for the Yankees. Versus strikeouts. Adding it's adding it's your totals to double -- pleasure reading it and home -- what about just hits versus strikeouts they collect easy strikeouts so it's hits plus home run plus RBI plus behind -- strikeouts --"

[13:29]" Go hits an RBI because they're going to handle him he's bako play against any good right Andrea in his neck and face any you. Go with Beckett even though his numbers. He -- in play against lefties he pitches against lefties and that -- but how many first baseman slash DH is do they have it again. Some more hurt than summer -- gold in them and that seems like they have collected them like bubbles and some some of them have to eventually come through. Let's face it. We know A-Rod stinks in October but enough that it -- so bad that he's Nuggets are there stuff at an audio it was straight foundation. -- and they -- and they got Damon comin' back and they get just a lot of experience and you look at music there's going to be moments where those guys Giambi to yeah it yeah big home from walk off hits in big clutch play. Moments down the stretch and you're not so sure about the the raise them and hope I hope so for the rays look to see the rays in the playoffs like the watch television and --"

[14:30]" Most you almost get the sands and and I shouldn't say this will having sat there and watched each of the rays games since the second half the season began on the dish. But don't you get the sense that at some point and maybe that point is right now there there's they sort of stuck their -- at -- god you're in the middle the lake. And we're halfway to the other shore and we were leading this race but you know this is some fifty feet of water underneath us right now and is a little bit of stuff."

[14:53]" Do you think heavenly glory go -- I mean he's. You know what. That -- rookies Ellsbury was the favorite to win the rookie of the year coming. The -- long shot -- have tickets by Longoria just looks so comfortable at this level. I don't know what pitches and shields. Kazmir. Edwin Jackson now comfortable that will be a pennant race. We'll see that will be fun -- we talked about it last week the two series in. September of three here trees there hopefully those meaningful is now and in the pennant race in and and race with some fresh faces. You don't like Joe Madden they that he knows what do when he's comfortable. And in his handling these guys right Waco like. I mean you can't knock Francona always handled these guys you see Lester yeah it is ten days at 1012 days twelve days as -- just look as strong as."

[15:50]" Ever -- this dude do you not give Francona credit. For without saying it signaling that allow -- going to get the -- the playing time going forward and not a veteran. -- please see. No because it's obvious that tough call what would you would you be surprised look like now two days for Lowrie and a day for Cora and then two days in that and after the ball. Play and we were -- I'll work. You know I'm just going to play against lefties the righty you'd know. He's better we know he was just being differential. -- peace accord is job as it is is you to I have to admit it but Tito has done things. Excuse me. Michael and dale that were I believe harmful -- to the team in the short run to be helpful to the player this in the long run. Until -- got a parent those kinds of things right I'll still says he won't pitch it. -- strange. For with Casey who is good right. Left hand right guys get in when -- bat on the ball and just single. On the better pinch hitter and Casey and let my my my my point is to be if you -- take that kind of approach in those kinds of situations would have shocked Q if somehow Lowrie and Corliss split playing time going port. Maybe I'll know well."

[17:09]" I mean you're right for a week or two and then finally kind of some -- he quietly says OK it is better you know play him against everybody. And that Cora gets a game at second for a you know for torrent of Pedroia and then maybe Lowry gets in with hurtful -- can both get their. Playing time what's he went again when the book goes back going to be tough foot Tito to -- Tito. To be respectful to the victory and -- is going well Lugo does know minimal role for him -- me you gonna say. If he came back -- it you mean. -- play against lefties and our against Friday's. You'll say why. Is a pitch them switch hitter and he's better hitter from either -- everyone's about it Lugo why. The only reason you would do that has just to keep the -- happy and he can't do that he's going to come back in the in the middle of pennant race going to come back what they set Labor Day in India right. And he's going to expect the play looked."

[18:06]" Back commanding do you think during the rehab starts in Pawtucket the -- 457. -- and Comcast will be doing live to us -- McCoy stadium when Julio Lugo makes his firstar L man of your -- factor."

[18:18]" Yeah when things ticket sales are slow in Portland they're going to send logo up the Portland. And as somebody tell me when John McCain arrived in New Hampshire and handle it too. Two Kennebunkport yes. That was one reporter mean and oh it's obvious but -- scores so far in the tank. For a Barack Obama that they have tickets in the election oh yeah that things and have to and there are busy covering president Obama in the Middle East -- Why bother with election we know who's going to win and we know we want to win it if -- in the Washington press corps. And somebody some decent one on the reasons obviously one and the reason is all. On the all the little cool. Portland. In Portsmouth in those TV stations. Were in in. The stadium -- David Ortiz in the so like and it was Ortiz from which you could see that it like channel seven would do that would have some local anchor. The ball park and Ortiz and instead of that McCain at Kennebunkport. It happened I mean what are -- gonna say you the were more there was more media covered Ortiz and covering McCain. Make it Ortiz more interesting than pajama game and McKay I mean I guess if I don't think McCain was upset because Ottawa with. George HW bush is not the greatest way to."

[19:48]" Owner or bomb offered maybe they offered bull rides in the new cigarette boat yeah you know good point. All right go for that -- it I -- let's run some red flags of Georgia the one."

[20:00]" KDD maybe did it in Lukas usually people because his heart can't take too. -- you're kidding me when people visit to a seismic effects and tells us when you go there is it and you play golf you I'm from -- boat fish and you go -- in the cigarette -- right and it is scrappy did you go fast. We can't do that would have been cool. Probably because there was no one there to take a picture of the Dick Cheney is not allowed to do that he's allowed anywhere near -- if you -- if he shouldn't -- that. What was the oh Ortiz overshadow yes yes but McKay right. And vote in which his time because everyone's busy seeing. Watching president Obama on the war -- the order and -- like airstrikes dwellers over there it."

[20:46]" I want to hit the safe house over here it is -- different aspirin factory. Wait until little trouble that's that's when you are out you bomb that's John Edwards like the ball -- striking a little a little trouble or go to John Edwards all we are we going to do John at all ops honestly not in some. Although it's not some rag with no credibility no or no I don't know what else a real news during an outfit that the national enquirer via and I am dead series NC the national enquirer. In this day and age has more credibility. In the New York Times and there's no question about it when you hear. The story breaks it big story elect mister and it was -- and it was banging and alien yeah did you fight now no no no. National enquirer soon whose stories like this with vigor yeah and they don't hear and it's kinda. Over the line instant peoples minds or something out of your bases -- To them it's a story in the pursuant. And I think they get it more often than not unlike the New York Times. Which is so blinded by ideology that they lose their way. And they they no longer incredible. Respectful Witten who the other Monday if he somehow -- the nominee. Well the the same -- It was to Roger had to stores like one was. It was being on the short list yeah just BP's. -- do you believe that well -- for a bottomless. I mean he he might be polonium liar bee's -- New York Quayle's felt like similarities that's true in America all game all in just that rapid Edwards Edwards -- and -- and Richard much more sinister. There's no question he's richer. But -- we have. We --"

[22:37]" Not a not a great -- little that's a good -- mostly -- and let me say this year that over the last -- an -- of -- you know I've been together I have always had your best interest apartments right I've had -- back have defended view. I'm going to do you -- very big favor right now I'm going to give me more money don't know and -- nobody it is about that it is about biking. There is footage that is going to be shown today. And it will probably in frequency rank only behind the WNBA. Brawl which into -- which assists are. In frequency will only be shown just a little bit less than WNBA brawl. Did you see the tour de France guy. Missed the European turned I didn't on the mountainside Angel over the edge of the mountain now see how you -- like don't you look at."

[23:25]" Jerry you know like he of people mentioned the -- RC Charles Barkley -- yes. That putts but in your head yeah I can't watch them like this cause I don't do I tell you Beckham would no. And -- Jones this year yeah toward France next. I mean I know that's it's shooting for the moon you that's the kind of guy with his difference toward reference is up and down the keeps downhill -- that's struggling to match downhill all downhill when you go like from Boston and the -- sure it's all right -- I'm on right now -- people that are hills security minute -- red hot -- back up and I wells I'm serious though."

[24:01]" I'm serious when you start to see the tour de France covered avert your eyes I mean that doesn't build as his -- don't snap offer anything but he literally falls off the side of a mountain on his -- you were talking yesterday but the fastest Jordan like 3133 miles an hour and a half down he'll probably. Well this guy it was this that was book and probably doing more than that. And and the and the gripping -- truly scary he was able to somehow grabbed and grasped onto the rocks in the gravel and with his fingers in his toes and begin his bike."

[24:32]" Like is gone gone. Gone it's him like France and zealot -- again probably not going -- like they go left the Tigers. Cup when he throws his water cup in the trash rabbit banana peel like him that Gatorade bottle it's like you're little those."

[24:49]" Leslie Nielsen movies of -- the captain of the big. The big aircraft carrier -- seventy mile long aircraft here -- at -- he gets. -- to -- pick -- up and went down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon over there in France."

[25:02]" Like in the -- Armada in India and he would fall off. And one looks at the moment and now they just leave them there because -- to operate. I did read however apocryphal that didn't happen. But to look at. It sees -- sailors. And formula with two rated to them should be behind. And -- water all big troop -- right. There was some smaller ships a small boats in this -- And the -- picked up it was kind of chilling it was to think about it coupled with salary. We just can't. -- pick you up good swimming it would -- well that's the that's what via the -- this -- counts up all out we we staged I didn't do that -- whether it's oil -- in that and like that guy gets hurt against breaks -- wait for -- the weird stuff from the tour de France. There is some real sportsmanship you're just laughed when -- match. That's as one of -- be tired stop and they people complacent you need I'll go oh yeah. All right. That's -- commit our lives opens at once and that. Sportsmanship fourth. -- but -- 850 toll -- 8885. -- you know -- we -- the next -- Bryant went -- these -- Damaso -- call us today I've got boldly that's definitely I -- Sox. I have out of that than say everybody. Not everybody just about everybody here stop. Who. This take us away the virtues the merits of went Izturis asthma today is full of it. The differences. You know what that is full of pressure Ken Rosenthal and four rounds and foxes that time or Jenny parker based image of what these short relievers. Is. With the Pirates the other with the Rockies I know that answer right. People like in the wings and watch the Pirates of the Rockies and if they do how many of watch the those six or seven pitches these guys throw every other right. How much do you know what that -- the -- if you've seen him you've seen him on the ESPN's sports center for about six seconds yeah. Yeah very very comparable statistics and the year and if you really want to know try to match like a little like there. Salaries. And ages. You -- the -- Bryant went these are dumb I had. Mark today or -- to stick with what they -- you know who would make his way through this if you were here. And yet the geek little breezy -- with equipment thought this guy.
