[16:13] ..." Prophylactically get ready for Ohio State. And -- of course that coached Matt Cassel. "...

[16:18] ..." The coach Matt Cassel coach this team before Brady came along that's true in in the he won more than military that won the separation for"...

[18:54] ..." Miller and he has the intimacy to exit Ken O'Brien yes scouted. Matt Cassel in high school right which should be the last coming -- actually some playing meaningful -- flu anyways in that Doug Flutie another guy women. A minute think I think everybody gives Belichick the benefit of the doubt every once as a week at. And where just a couple of Belichick -- soccer mom he said yeah you have to wait and see how could you pass judgment on Matt Cassel this point. When he has started this since high school I think Schilling speaks for a lot of people. When yesterday said"...

[20:46] ..." Are we didn't dig up Doug Flutie and we didn't dig up Dan Reeves and we didn't dig up Jim Miller but we will dig up Pete Carroll after"...

[27:45] ..." It at that later through this threw well and -- city. Eight Chris Simms signed with the Tennessee tight office. Cross them off your back -- quarterback last. He -- thank the Patriots -- bowl was"...

[0:01]" Wax philosophically. May EI. Occasionally. A little patience. And a little time. And create clarity let me give some examples. Bill -- sims and rotate to Foxboro over the weekend. And then night's sleep provided clarity for bill. Adams sent them packing. A couple of weeks ago undecided voters as the Republican convention approach just waited a day or two. And Sarah Portland provided clarity to -- a -- that was a week ago. Wasn't it. As the appointment. Right to a week ago yeah only a week ago -- we see only two weeks into -- Less than a week and correctness too much he's been around for wherever. She's like it in my dreams forever but it was only -- at the scene yeah. A week ago. He has taken to a John McCain suggested he's. Catherine applebee's. That could happen -- trendy yes yeah hot Gavin how she looked. I'll write out out there and get caught up in a 24 hours ago decency with Mueller Ty Law we're discussing the Red Sox cy young candidates Lester. Daisuke and Papelbon we couldn't decide. When a four hours later Papelbon and Dice-K the provided clarity yes its luster right it is today -- Jon Leicester today."

[1:32]" But you know what I think palpable when you watch him you -- weather's great -- If it gives it up like lastly relies so valuable he has an edge he has when he gives it up it's devastating the Red Sox. When he's on his game like he has then missed his first blown save since June June 20 through 22. He's been on my schedule. You realize what a weapon that is Tennessee team doesn't have their apple bought in the game -- can -- I think you know -- him pass in this -- it was a little. It was stunning was shocking but little blue --"

[2:07]" Falls into the category didn't see that coming now I mean once I get the home run you think it right turn off you know at this -- definitely -- roll the Dice-K -- thing. Our escapade that's what what they get a one run yeah."

[2:18]" And you say it's -- and I didn't set and -- and held at the clicker in my hand it's it's over and then they don't want my clothes in Johnson added. Goes deep yesterday -- that happen. That like sat opposite. This -- have to walk in the airlines and yet that was in it was stunning but you know. There's still a nice little run there one and -- back crystal that you're going to win the division and I still think it doesn't matter at all mean it is the -- of the playoffs."

[2:47]" On the global O meter -- Toronto Blue Jays that kind of -- claim to have this title but Erik Coleman Thomas tenement club to an element. Ten games Jerry Ted I would -- that's crucial days on."

[2:59]" You I think they're pretty solidly in third place -- at least -- back spoiler off Toronto blue edges humble when you think about it there the other beaten up what Chicago maybe it is maybe you wanna. Set it up so you play. Chicago not Anaheim not LA. And you get the home field win you meet up with Tampa via. So maybe it'd definitely want -- of course she wanted but would you use on the last day of the season which used Lester if it if it was on line yes I would you would you know his Leicester to get home field -- have to save and collect the second series."

[3:33]" How would use some dirt on your mind the thirty kids -- 49 over 500 and all Tampa Bay's 32 over right to do that you get -- you it's a best of five right. It's about -- a most of five Jerry Bergman his body like Leicester MITRE pitched at all. Is much more on that particular piece and analysts last game this accidental balls all just to get old feel to get home field right. If that meant using Lester Adams in Daisuke using Beckett. And and and in the using all your guns and you bullpen right you trot out just over two innings to get home field advantage. I think about it you know what Francona wouldn't he -- Walt you don't you just never -- his Papelbon three games in a row after this level allow."

[4:14]" World Series he would and humidity you know I'd be winning winning the pennant and the World Series that was on line so I think you would I think. We place more importance in the division title I think them. The rays place more importance of winning the vision because it would be such storybook. Season and and you know whether they win in the post season and not if they come. Out of this season with a division title and beaten the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the regular season it's going to be huge for the -- as the might even you know like solid game."

[4:46]" Not gonna. Now we are missing perhaps over bigger story of looking at what might be controversial moments this Papelbon. Legal balls of the wall left trying to get home field advantage there is a bigger controversy brewing today. Julio Lugo says I -- The short. Of pollutants and that's likes. Alexander I think I am in charge here who's -- what team he talked about mass level -- all in -- It'll and it needs to market and it's described as he said it very very slow early in the locker room is not high and alma. Bush authorities the."

[5:23]" That's a couple times where it's called the reporter over and made his case knowing that I would play out knowing that. Use. It won't be reading inherited and I don't blame them you want him to be confident. He's wrong yeah not the shortstop globe would he say than them so it's on the utility guy AM from what I'm nobody."

[5:44]" Out a loser well the only other bus would be the Bill Belichick approaches able tossing out about that when mine would like what is he. But he feels left out you know is -- fields lost yet obviously trying to reassert himself -- picture. And was this before after the game and for the board game yelled for -- well for two and if you said this in the -- in -- like three for four and four RBI it would really be silly laughable but. I he he is going to present the problem it's not a problem the February and all he really isn't that mean that. Even Francona says it's a little late now in late in the season and come back and reclaim his position. I don't think he can be the utility guy either. Mean he could be on the roster September but not not over now now. Now is not -- point one point third planned second place I guess he could remember interim plan anything I mean I know we didn't LA I don't know that put him in left and -- played anything else here. Well right now enough middle of the no three hours and hours -- he's always everywhere ground balls and errors here that's true yeah. -- hours about a shortstop about a third baseman about a second baseman better hitter. And it's. A better everything they've had a -- verses Ramirez box should not be a Lugo over -- could do with that the -- stopped -- when LA yeah a good day for it since both guys went -- enable teams are on a roll on them headed for the post season."

[7:06]" Urged the numbers are quite well August they are. -- piece of Michael supplement in The Herald today sets up the numbers. He's the one wrote the Lugo story Lugo just I and the shortstop there's no sense of why not I'd just got her. Hell yeah Lugo said he's planning to retire this year while Tito is -- and out shoot that down a little bit saying it's got a little tight in terms of time. I think we knew that when he had a setback. -- out of action for 49 games here's the deal in 82 games played Lugo hit 68. One homer. 22 RBI remember room and -- just going to every arguably two RBI and 27 runs scored. Lowry in 64 games below 82. Is batting 2724. Points -- two more runs that you consider it's just one more hole runnerup twice is Manny it's many home runs. But forty RBI 25 runs and it's a big Lugo committed sixteen errors in 82 games. Lowry airless at shortstop. Although we did pick up one at third base. Better better infielder right -- after."

[8:12]" Much much much much better again and we says this -- when. Nomar Cabrera rent. If you were the pitching if you hold the pitching. Can be how would they vote. They were able for. Earlier you catch them all for the guy. However as sure as well as the guy with sixteen errors and on top of that he gets guys home owners -- there it's all physical handling the bat he just gets goes the other way sees. He used the -- that left the and he just don't know 350 or alignment that that put you know me the drive runs in his home."

[8:54]" Into any offense. Can run a lot of your your sense what I'm going to be ought to run the offense by accident when he did something productive like oh you did see that coming just like Papelbon blow on the St. Louis Wright didn't see that coming -- leave legal does something legally makes the play shortstop and really --"

[9:12]" Like hurt his wouldn't feel relief from the howry gets the plant -- it feels feels the same way out of sight out of him yet he comes back he's going to remind everyone of one in my bigger mistakes. In my GM in career correct as to let him stay in up in the shadows."

[9:27]" Emmitt breaks about Merriman was true economic level about Lugo I think he's going to have another minor setback it's it's going to take a little longer a little longer on the made the British from married does these -- he's going to do I."

[9:38]" Do you. Ma you -- said that updates you gave me credit I'm at the predictions that one week it looked tough to take the field and I just told me that yeah. A lot of said that he predicted meaning me -- was and -- I don't I don't know enough team to drugs and tell me that he predicted the Patriots and six. --"

[10:05]" Las Vegas doesn't think Helio and in six equipment council now it's pretty interesting this draft him. A boat yet we check with our guy to diamond -- Saddam from -- dog. Actually there's a fellow by the -- Richard Gardner who low works for bulldogs sports he's the manager there. And as of this morning. The Patriots have dropped just a bit. In the Super Bowl odds. Before the season began they were number one numero O'Neal in Super Bowl odds seven to -- favorites to capture. The franchise's orphans and Marty trophy of the decade. Tom Brady goes down slipped just eleven spots to number twelve behind I'm mine had. The New York Jets at 1821. This -- guy. Has been doing this for Bulldog for six years. And he says the Patriots ball is the greatest he has ever seen happen in just one week you -- heard. It's a pretty drastic change to see someone go from the favored to win the Super Bowl. To the twelfth ranked team to go from one to twelve because of one injury is quite remarkable Gardner said. Of course we also -- about this earlier in the week Patriots opened as a three point underdog for this week's game against the Jets. There was a line established obviously be used to play in the Chiefs win when Brady hurt. We assumed to be six or seven writes a 271 -- the -- is always the patriots' death sentence him to a ten point swing in the game and point."

[11:34]" And points and makes sense I mean this does the bias here right in these -- Guys making an objective analysis right yeah. It started took off another o'clock while they don't -- who do this that they are friends of bill Phillips. Well that -- friends we -- the making. Cold hard analysis. And -- can't argue it is in Olympic. And they know they go honestly think. When Superbowl. In no one. Who's -- more -- it once but but some of the teams that."

[12:12]" Now our head of the Patriots obviously the top dallas' the big beneficiary putting their 41 papers to the Super Bowl. San Diego that -- change today with the merry men and -- I -- I don't think so not like anyone that is going to be though that most people heard what I said and Heredia if you did you -- you said voices in your head San Diego's second Indianapolis followed by New Orleans Pittsburg. Jacksonville the Giants. Philadelphia Green Bay Minnesota and the Jets at fifteen to one. Those of the eleven teams ahead of the Patriots who were listed at 1821. And and Carolina right behind him a 25."

[12:48]" Two similar affected the power rankings that'll yet those four guys who ESP and power rankings. They were number one last week they have dropped to number nine -- Reminding me more than that day the Cowboys were about three their number one judge what number to their number three. But the teams ahead of them in the Colts the the Packers. On packer yeah impressive seventh. Eagles' six giants' fifth Saints -- team yeah this was this question it was slightly up on -- club boys and by the way the ball on the don't have the Jets. In the paint the ESP and they don't have the Jets at fourteen."

[13:32]" Now to the two of them matter that is more attainable and that would be the playoffs as opposed to winning the Super -- Here's a -- thing the Patriots are still favored. To make the playoffs Gartner said we're going to open up odds today on whether they still make the playoffs looking at a from a -- percentage. I'd say it's about a sixty. Percent chance six of the Patriots make the playoffs sixty. -- tell -- as she adds. I mean I think. We it's greater than that."

[14:02]" You know. Now now that. They're called it said co favorites with the Jets. Bills more bills in the cede more the bills. Go full. Season I'd. Say. The only way you can do mostly. Vision and expect walk the commodities. Out in the division and if it's awesome to to a three teams sixty meal and on the road. I mean it's going to be. In this test teams. And it's going to be hole CDs and coal regions. Is reveling in just for the moment that they get it and he. Revenge. And build -- yes. It and there that run up against those and use."

[14:58]" On the bills the bills don't think that is right now -- picture -- probably has he took the high -- as you remember how many straight -- still trying to -- and that's a special teams -- all the bill specialties -- carried by the way I didn't understand this as a minor point but speaking of that just the trip a trigger for -- to replace when you're up like 35 points why are you exposing that stuff to people are watching your game. -- kick the crap out of Seattle Seahawks is it necessary to do take ponson and the route and goofy stuff that you might need him up like a three point ballgame some point down the road."

[15:31]" I don't think there's that many secrets and that -- and I think the the probably have hundreds of them ago they probably already know. The opposition knows that's what my assumption would be. I meant I wouldn't do because it's run up the score and I'm a soccer mom Hendry want to run the score."

[15:46]" To back up and get some meaningful reps for next year teacher ride back -- yeah I -- and logical record ever Hal now. All right 677 of 9850 toll free 888525850. We have a large show not a big show large show in store for you -- the Rem dog would Jonas atop red Sox baseball at 9 o'clock. And Pete Carroll will join us on the other side as he and his trojans. Prophylactically get ready for Ohio State. And -- of course that coached Matt Cassel. "

[16:18]" The coach Matt Cassel coach this team before Brady came along that's true in in the he won more than military that won the separation for -- did you hear the friends in the afternoon. Well not -- but the others that they can't handle when you even mention Belichick's record -- Brady yeah that's an insult that's a slap overall like yeah right."

[16:39]" The number. Is that supposed to mean look -- him. The."

[16:47]" You know just the numbers it's 41 and 42 this -- the same guy that for four weeks has been screaming. Back -- quarterback talked is irrelevant when you have Tom Brady and that's true is irrelevant now. -- and I disagree with those you know they'll take is nothing left to prove if you record is 42 and fifty with -- Brady. If you had one winning season for six years before Tom Brady came around. Would you feel like it's on the pro am not a bad thing not to I'm not. Insulting to man I would never do that. But if they goal as you predict would you say to a fourteen that's knowledge that five and eleven and nine if they go five and eleven and and Cassell doesn't get the job is -- back cup. Doesn't not reflect poorly on the coach."

[17:34]" Yeah I -- so I think you'll get a free -- this -- larger -- life he has so much bigger than almost any -- player in the national football -- from who historically from -- and from the -- and the people around -- yeah of course. Have to -- doesn't -- that -- It is inconsequential that doesn't -- Belichick -- anybody you know -- without a -- Bart -- Yeah 42. To -- the number the question I leave you with -- win without pretty interesting quote parent as a nice piece in the Boston Herald the ducks and number of people about what now for the Patriots and their -- and -- She digs up Jim Miller former Patriot back up quarterback and he said this is the kind of thing that makes Bill Belichick. He's not happy that Tom got hurt but it's a new challenge for Belichick in this stuff. And his team thrives on this kind of situation everybody count and the Patriots out everybody says they can't do now I'm sure Bill Belichick. Will come up with some --"

[18:42]" It's to a newspaper people so much more than -- so much harder -- radio -- him as a game on the radio since finding Jim Miller they'll Jim and him well let's just let's take calls me. -- Jim Miller and he has the intimacy to exit Ken O'Brien yes scouted. Matt Cassel in high school right which should be the last coming -- actually some playing meaningful -- flu anyways in that Doug Flutie another guy women. A minute think I think everybody gives Belichick the benefit of the doubt every once as a week at. And where just a couple of Belichick -- soccer mom he said yeah you have to wait and see how could you pass judgment on Matt Cassel this point. When he has started this since high school I think Schilling speaks for a lot of people. When yesterday said if Belichick trust some -- Will Belichick trusts them and you have to give -- chance you have to wait and see no one knows no one's seen him play anything meaningful game. We will someday we will Sunday weakness if he struggles if peace awful and there's a chance is that chancellor guys struggle. Ballot that Belichick has some explaining to do you agree. To what he kept us -- yeah -- get someone else whereas guys all I know why you left no hands lot less. Left this franchise the best franchise in in sports in the and here's a guy sure hasn't started since."

[20:02]" Explanation you'll get it's that excuse -- thirty Sunday night no. We have so we we will look at the film we will correct we'll look at our problems will identify our problems and we will correct our mistakes and we will move on."

[20:13]" I think it's a wonderful seven hole thing sets up wonderfully fascinating he's the pressure's on Bill Belichick despite what they say. In in the afternoon and if he must feel that. Everyone must feel that we we don't want to be viewed as -- Tom Brady's coattails you know we wanted to do it without bomb. We want to show that we can do with a common -- he has to feel that way again. I mean you don't like the numbers but the numbers of the numbers he can win every game this year he doesn't get to 500. In his career without Tom Brady court."

[20:46]" Are we didn't dig up Doug Flutie and we didn't dig up Dan Reeves and we didn't dig up Jim Miller but we will dig up Pete Carroll after we beat -- Perot for the sport slash."

[20:54]" Look at it that well the it's right center field back it's no good players -- Both car. And stupidity they're up there and eat -- and I pulled -- to begin with our -- and I."

[21:12]" Yes Dan Johnson you're pinch hitter extraordinaire for the Tampa bay rays was going to be in the starting lineup. -- column earlier in the day from AAA. But couldn't get to the park on time now committee. Until the US Airways got the day through got an apartment time Nittany yesterday yeah you got to the part of these 45. And this guy who did you left there was always times down with -- Oakland's always -- their jobs that are targeted Theo Epstein they waived him. Tampa bay picks -- goes down at triple as a big year they bring them up and some is a hero for the race as they beat the Red Sox 524. Consider this Dioner Navarro as well against Papelbon."

[21:52]" Alou predominant -- they're there to. The lottery no further out there with. Lowe's car now -- let -- speculative RBI double and a ready to come off the next to pick up 54 lead here at Fenway."

[22:05]" It is -- a little different looper down left field Dan Johnson in and got out of the cab. And hit a Papelbon fastball on the screws above 400 and something extra -- proactive. He's those groups who smoked that ball is that a homer Simpson notably -- us at a homer and David Wells of the rays -- radioed Eric not agree. Probably is no preschool what is -- what did he actually said it just stay fair statement very fair. Like that works -- all right so probable on. Oh by the way -- Radio people so shameless -- ago."

[22:44]" Already roads and now do you. That's -- The day."

[22:49]" I do you very much yes. I probable -- fifth -- incentive but -- tuna doesn't notes until is -- first since -- second. Five sets in the guy number this year Jerry."

[23:02]" One Jonathan I don't remember any and that's been so long he's been he's been fine and he's been more than serviceable and I I -- be -- is -- June 22 June 22. Two and a half months this has happened."

[23:15]" Yes ever -- months. What his first when -- fell this year will they finally -- series at film of number 11 and 25 sooners will and I got to meet Josh Beckett. Josh Beckett. Against sudden Stein tonight so. I think Beckett got the slight edge -- now but perhaps what happened to Johnson."

[23:33]" All three straight on strike to home run Percival. Has felt I had three -- you obviously want to do and you know I mean he still ball middle bill -- 32 hitters. -- the you know me a lot of times yeah you know problem --"

[23:54]" He's at getting behind 3 -- to want to do yeah it is what Daisuke wants to do off. The -- I I didn't bottle opens what was his final pitch count one to believe seem like. Again 200 there was 1 wait three hours and nobody doesn't I was 1 right Matsuzaka was three hours -- almost nice and Clinton clean it's almost over -- and actually in the door after every day Jason Bay hits a home run off Dan Wheeler guy he was one for eighteen against. Still hits a home run of the original news he ran hard and a first. Home run the Manny did -- record ground balls. Crucial situation a guy on instead of double play -- his I guess who knows he went by three inches but. He's always running hard dribble motion. -- traded emotion you."

[24:42]" and walk him I got there and I'm well aware of my career numbers against Dan Wheeler the other they're not Real Madrid so. -- just going offense can't over think in and I got to pitch you know that. You know once again play less and less than when I was home -- trying to put the ball -- on plan. Keep the inning going and that's when that stuff happens but you know fortunately didn't hold up."

[25:03]" I -- be as seventh home run for the reds notched 29 overall you'll have thirty every year. That's when you'll their Jason Bay will be a 3100 yet they keep him after next year barring injury. Yeah won us the minorities does everything you are now."
