Play from 0:02[0:02]" tonight show. Painting and it might -- called me -- instead to rest and the old saying. I'm always happen Danish I hit like school but how do you like it came to Mikey show. He's been beaten tonight should be your bit in pain tonight show it's the music that cheeky after the -- show. We're almost vampire when Mike and starts talking then it will be -- and my -- What are -- sports reviewing. Yeah WEEI."

Play from 0:40[0:40]" back currently planet Mikey show on this very odd. Thursday this is not your standard run of the mill. Off day for the Red Sox I don't know. A whole lot more going on -- that. And just in the studio alone is like going on right now is Heidi why he's here finally -- gets in your fitness yet. I'm sorry I just stood around my head spin it. You know after day today at DC turn around and around. My neck. It's yeah its it has been a very very weird day in Hampshire for you busy day to an ominous and folks just run Griese you know the globe people cross paths with. What your first impressions of of today and and the Khomeini gate thing."

Play from 1:22[1:22]" I didn't think -- gap and I did not think they were going to get it done they people. They're kind of knew the Red Sox wanted to deal imminent hoping that over them and you know from everything I'd heard they were not willing to give up many prospects and the money men after the and it did."

Play from 1:38[1:38]" Yeah they've -- shows how desperate they really were to relieve themselves of this whole. Thing yes."

Play from 1:43[1:43]" But I do well I knew that the players. Me. In. The mood in the clubhouse had changed. And it wasn't in favor of man more."

Play from 2:00[2:00]" Isn't dark wade changed yeah to a darkness of yeah you -- kind of not feeling like a team whatever yet and these past couple days you guys that you walked in after last night's game in man -- was Democrats versus game but they really love. Dejected habit and so I think that it's going to dig at things from the clubhouse but I'm still at step kind of shocking you'll still be secure lock in their Friday and not have him in the class."

Play from 2:25[2:25]" Yeah after all these years after years of fun of him being a presence -- for better for worse on this team -- it is going to seamer tonight. I guess I'm kind of feel a little bit relieved tool for Tito because. God knows his job is tough enough babysit and 25 guys waited in -- case I think. Particularly over the past few months it's been a real babysitting job -- really kind of I don't know how he's kept it together in there and it. I guess a lot of his frustrations as it pertains to many probably know all over where it is probably missed his source of relief for for him and for some of his teammate."

Play from 2:57[2:57]" Yeah Terry Francona had said he was going to have a team meeting on Friday regardless of what happened and being that. The mood it definitely lighter on Friday in the clubhouse you know it's just and you eat your not going to get that kind of production that Manny brings. But when you look at team here -- my dad's a coach and granted it's not baseball it's golf and even it'd kind of an individual sports it's his golf."

Play from 3:19[3:19]" I spent some time but you're dead nearly you see my game you know -- But yet Cubs coaching at an on an any sport does a certain amount the same kind of thing he needed to to be done right."

Play from 3:28[3:28]" Yeah and I he called right after he heard the news -- Meehan and like everyone who think he said team chemistry matters in heat they were here over the weekend visiting. And that and he even doubt that there were some troubles with the team meant. And that. He spoke to how important that is so I think it's going to be pressure after different pressure of the rest the team with him. It's seen that man it's it's tough I'm still in shock."

Play from 3:54[3:54]" It will be it will be word you're dead is yours you're Southern California girl and -- and central. Born and raised in Fresno. And went to school and again. That's right that's like you know I've been to Fresno -- I was here -- about voice of John writer yes you get all of he's in a straight jacket yeah right after going to Fresno once seemed like -- was there for a month and I was only there for three days no offense but. That's just three days in the jail so. You incorporate -- year. I was there right around thanksgiving I was out differ Fresno state was playing well northeast -- part of basketball tournament. Okay. So that's his presence story I don't have won a -- in Fresno. But I babies you know they -- for Southern California at least from -- perspective. You could tell me if you think that being able fitted in Los Angeles Dodgers in Fresno is close to San Francisco isn't where they right there there."

Play from 4:53[4:53]" It kind of in the middle middle right yeah yeah it hits like each of these -- Redman to a it's a little bit farther Alley but I would part of it yet about the same for -- to scout I actually think it will be better for men and."

Play from 5:05[5:05]" Manny is it true that LA fans are like the way we perceived them and we've heard about the though they're laid back to -- in the seventh they get there in the second inning and is is eternal."

Play from 5:13[5:13]" Dodgers game and you're there in the first inning you can have your choice of seats in the house -- third inning people have shown up and by the seventh -- people are getting brightly yeah and LA people don't cares much about sports that don't mean there's so many celebrities out there Manny just going to be just another guy and so I think that there's going to be a lot of pressure off of him and that's something that bothers him. I talked and just a couple of days ago he was really yeah. All of this was weigh heavily on him."

Play from 5:40[5:40]" It was yeah now -- seed because of the comments that we here's the problem but many never talked to anybody ever done for any reason for so many years. That people had this kind of most of fantasy perception of what he might be like this guy who's just out there'd be you know. March into the -- his own drummer nor had any idea. And then when he finally does step up to the microphone and talked lately of course it's been all about getting now it's been kind of how he's not happy with the ownership -- this think. And I think it through some people for a -- some of his. Biggest defenders I think kind of -- okay than Cia. Yeah you know."

Play from 6:15[6:15]" He's got a lot of rhetoric and I are really believe that. Behind a lot of that has been Scott -- it's ever since team that was Scott Morrissey in New York and then when the team was an Anaheim on them a couple of times and and it was when and when we're in Seattle that he'd first Manny came to me he's like what do you -- gonna happen you think they're going to pick my option now I can't handle that I can't handle they have all the control. -- summarizing what to say yeah yeah a in the course our conversation he went from being paranoid at the start and it. Sits at being angry with management for not telling him whether they're bigger option -- now to being his don't worry about it meant the end of the conversations of I mean even in one he's like -- He's got a lot of personality. Conversation they talk about so but I really think that it weighed on him and that he. That's certainly know that he was all that angry with management he. He he just didn't know what to do."

Play from 7:08[7:08]" Well you know -- I'm in -- we try to analyze this for weeks and weeks as we do ad nauseam on his radio station we analyzed every little thing has to not dismayed with the Red Sox and you know I'm trying to. Division in visualize the the scenario it's got horse becomes his agent if for the Red Sox up re up him for two more years Scott Boras makes zero dollars. And and many potentially. You know injuries could be a part of it age could be another part of it two years from now. Who knows how long people are going to take a risk on Manny for the future going forward army's third going to be 37 in May do so at the end of two years to be 39. And not many people get four year contracts the age of 39 so I understand the finances of it. But it just became clear I think we'd all the incidents that that were -- because many never had physical altercations with anybody. There was never an -- stuff going on in years gone by there was always the the weirdness is think. This five grandmothers have passed away in the funerals -- to go to Wyndham missed you know the All Star Games and even -- the injuries that -- maybe imaginary -- not. There's always act kind of soap opera but there never was this all of a sudden while he's manic something hit. He something's happened to him an -- at it became kind of clear to me in the end that. What whether it was bourses planner -- he wanted to shoot his way out of the out of town so he could get that. Four year contract that he probably anticipates will probably get come you know the end of the season. You know."

Play from 8:32[8:32]" I agree I agree I really think a driving force behind it does Boris. Because men he's not going to get on him anywhere else next shouldn't you and I have Boris from an agent. And work on don't you think that that we both do better --"

Play from 8:47[8:47]" It's very very possible. The lovely Heidi watt he's an in studio with a send out because so many phone calls on this Manny stuff you know might take your calls with -- rates are these people some of them radius but it -- too much and you'll get -- Frank and West Roxbury -- Heidi one."

Play from 9:01[9:01]" I eighty LA if you don't like radio -- just -- at a time. Public TV does that. Question and a short. It cut the cut -- and -- cut and -- I mean how could be proud to be a model but it -- guys but he made. I mean it'd it'd blow my mind. Bet. He did something -- and Nazis he ultimately went to the as a -- there and that was only -- Probably as a plan they -- you read big old -- Red -- these old yeah isn't indicative -- a couple options be what and twenty it was that. He did get voted his mind that they will going to --"

Play from 9:43[9:43]" Well. I really think it. Out of his control really bothered him that it's necessarily the money as he -- that he had."

Play from 9:52[9:52]" And he signed the deal he's always somebody aspect I didn't -- skipped. Work. To me. Okay. And I think the night in that -- one series."

Play from 10:08[10:08]" No way they also don't just go over the plate by themselves."

Play from 10:12[10:12]" Sure a couple of times but not enough obviously but. That would do he did have a couple of battles stretch in June where you know he he's put together to what we look forward."

Play from 10:22[10:22]" Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in while frank this guy Hansen was -- it was like huge disappointment. And I am not worried about aunts and -- the Red Sox I am -- about me become -- back at Yankee uniform. -- what do you think of the pot is now remember that at the end of the year he can go anywhere he wants to if he gets it for your deal summary your deal with --"

Play from 10:43[10:43]" Right I think before New York he got the Mets -- he's talked about he he said it -- loved of the mad he'd love to go to Texas Rangers those with a two T really really big on same conversation at Texas Rangers act of being here."

Play from 10:55[10:55]" I don't understand that and but they need is pitching. There and they have hitters there in Texas they just don't have -- year and I never would have thought the idea what is at Texas a bit more obvious choice yet."

Play from 11:06[11:06]" I really think though that it in Adelaide that would actually be a decent the front or maybe even the Angels not the you know the Dodgers but. He enjoys his time DH and when Ortiz is out right he he really liked that a lot so if he can get a team where he could DH and not even have to worry about."

Play from 11:24[11:24]" No element all the fans get to miss out on the clown antics out there when the pop up lands in front of any rules over on the ball and get the -- of the doubt -- attic you were here when this happened but did you receive the as if not ask the guys in this missionary. The the play -- Manny. Intercepted the cut off throw from the center fielder about ten feet front and right that's just unknown just -- so that's why that's how. That's why am going to miss Manny. Stuff like that I. Still on my plate that year at high I've double -- that was good in about I -- that comedic point of view certainly from a baseball perspective. The house that got the -- way and mean and it gives. That was great moment ago scrambling. For a what's life -- now you've been here invest in the course you know half the certainly more than half of the of -- audiences you know men. You're of beautiful woman your working for -- here at the ballpark surrounded -- is it just crazy -- guys yelling your name means."

Play from 12:23[12:23]" Remain ready over there and looked at -- Heidi hello can you take approach it may be an outside. It's it's culture change and you know out in California and care about their broadcasters as much. Which you know. I I ask questions for a living and -- tell stories and and I you know feed information and that's thats why do they do that love to do."

Play from 12:46[12:46]" And here recourse to know it's not just the broadcasters is the Red Sox broadcasters -- because you know people you're just. There watching all the time they're always watch in the game. As you mentioned in LA their little more cavalier about their so they're not quite intense. But it you know you get here instantaneously. You know everybody knows new -- kind of crazy and made most broadcasting jobs take -- people realize who you're aren't. It's in your name -- splash -- in the water near here."

Play from 13:14[13:14]" here I am it's been different it's been that you know like is that a culture shock but. It's it's not everyone has for the most part been very welcoming and very kind and and that you know welcome to Boston's it's been it's that's very sweet and I really appreciate everyone can. You know not ripping -- to."

Play from 13:30[13:30]" You know that's what anybody messes were you let us know you'll take care Steve -- Boston Steve I don't know I don't might get good I don't Goodson had a Heidi Heidi. -- married -- confused. What's wrong."

Play from 13:45[13:45]" What happened -- when he -- Dodger game and are now so I'm going to go I wanted to with a created that could possibly replace."

Play from 13:55[13:55]" No no -- oh not free agents they got their left the replacement and he's so he's Jason Bay Sunday."

Play from 14:03[14:03]" That's very well it was some big hands so that -- how."

Play from 14:06[14:06]" To know everything there is to know about Jason Bay right did you did your homer I have this large print out of everything for him. You know his stats is batting -- fielding his running. You -- and the fact that he's got blue eyes and boyish good looks."

Play from 14:24[14:24]" you go that's something hey yeah we -- found out I guess in a day or two was due to one's going to join the team. Is going to be here Friday's game you know there is no not been an official announcement from the Red Sox so true. We don't now."

Play from 14:36[14:36]" Doing so it -- known who will put an -- that we're going to be an -- foot. Try to bring in big name --"

Play from 14:42[14:42]" Well free agents that are available next year I've looked -- the list of free ages and tell the truth it's a kind of a lean looking list although he can add Manny too and I guess now. You know that that they're real good players. That I was looking at the left field they're old Mike Morse is a low you know and Ken Griffey you know he's going old guys in."

Play from 15:01[15:01]" Well and -- I think it's a little early to look to next year already let's see he had Jason Bay get -- let's see early not yeah he'll be great they have signed his crap out."

Play from 15:13[15:13]" It maybe maybe you will be great but we know that man he's going to go out to LA and we know they aren't there it out. We don't know what Jason --"

Play from 15:21[15:21]" Well on the seat maybe his knee hurts every -- LA -- we know maybe tennis is meniscus instead of terror."

Play from 15:27[15:27]" I'm -- I don't want and I and our investment. You know you're not going to -- game off you know going to say that's fine is not good numbers -- right July. You know Delonte game off well one million dollar bet that the big events."

Play from 15:41[15:41]" the other thing is too though with that twenty million dollars they'll now have that for next season to spend another free agency they want Atlanta pitcher wanted to our position player they want to go get Kevin Mench from. No I'm kidding of course. Everyday we want Scott missed that --"

Play from 15:55[15:55]" This yeah say that the blatant do we -- but let me just put what you -- Best number 24 -- Boston mayor candidates out he didn't of the that."

Play from 16:06[16:06]" also a guy named Dwight Evans let's not forget Steve it was a pretty darn good 385. Career home runs. Eight gold gloves in right field Dwight Evans was quite a player to a number 24. And that's where we had this discussion earlier in the year. About if they ever did retire manes number how they'd have to kind of make it Nicole. Retiring. Because Evans is here for maybe eighteen years and played so well the Red Sox and many played seven and a half years. For the Red Sox he he he was involve -- two world championships but you can't. Throw away your history just based on his number."

Play from 16:37[16:37]" He's been a great player and he's he's done a lot for Boston and he is so much ingrained in a part of Boston that you know even. Me coming from outside busting you think of the Red Sox need to get David Ortiz you -- your manner and is that you know there's. Great pitching and everything else but he is Boston. As of late and as of these two championships and he can't forget what he's done for that at that. Team and for winning champions and nobody ever will -- forgetting stuff. But I think. You've got to give Jason -- had changed since you've got to give that team a chance to build some chemistry. Again because. Been good the past week with all of this rhetoric going on and stepped -- is -- that is just. Completely inflammatory yup and you can't block it. Not pay attention to that when you're thinking about the team chemistry and how these guys are playing you. That was definitely actor BP said any of those he'd still be on the but he did and he forced their hand you can't just say oh what was mean he's gone this is terrible. You've got to look at the entirety."

Play from 17:40[17:40]" And when he Hussein all those inflammatory things you combine that we is. The sitting out of the games you know the Yankee game in the in the Seattle game and the of the awful at -- had on his quote day off when he had committed pension and -- about the shoulders. And then -- amid a lack of hustle was always been the you know he's never going to guided to really pour on the gas. And try for the extra base on the base path and certainly been an adventure in the outfield. But everybody is going to except in the game and keep all that stuff in -- as long as he continued to hit menu but at the incidence. Add the again the lack of playing in those in those specific important games -- into that the the mouthing off about the ownership is no question anybody's mind -- one out of here. It's it's would be very very clear we got to take a break here -- what he's here with us from -- and as she is absolutely just do it just you guys are wondering and are you going to ask me is she is beautiful in person issues on television yes. And the other thing. The other part of that that I want to get to his is that that we're having this auctions in progress rarity of a hundred dollars that's a lifetime experience here and believe you Italian. We are giving away tickets to Red Sox game to benefit the national marine life center in -- Bates they've -- nonprofit marine animal rescue and rehab hospital. These guys to save the whales to save the seals and all you know and he's a good good people of course bill Lee. Has been the type of these people for a long long time sort of benefit that very very nice charity. We're going to give way to Red Sox ticket -- four total. Opposite -- seat. The space man bill Lee and another seat and you're you're guest in the other two seats at down into right field area named after ability because Canada's Alley. Down in right field. Where the our doors are always at that hiding hangs around there once a ruptured auction. But you on the left I LSI's apparently okay we you'll be willing let's -- keep these animals as far away from the -- asked if that I can -- at -- in addition to the of the tickets you also get. Dinner before the game at the at the famous chicken bone on -- street and that we're going to go to the game and hang out abilities the former Red Sox lefty. And won't get to read out they have some Beers afterwards and be a fun night for Marty if you'd like to get on the -- 6179311815. That's 617. 9311850. Were up to 800 dollars on the -- so Farmar and keep it go until prior to 11 o'clock and I think bill -- posted call it a little bit later on to from a I'm from California so let's -- sports flashed welcome back -- more Heidi what --"
