[0:00]" Our number three Dennis and Callahan Steve -- along side is the ubiquitous studio analyst. Fort Nelson of course hall of Famer our friend at a secondly good morning act how Loria. Don't very well a when he's got a baseball the art is are you obliged with a to a funny now. Out there a nice feeling -- it aria hey act are are getting the sense here and his ensemble cocky but that but we might be watching a wire to wire dominating season by the Boston Red Sox."

[0:33]" You know it scary to say that you know because we were lucky we can say that we want to thank them but -- it is good I've seen I mean. Everything we've been wonderful except for maybe a few bumps in the road you know killing just recently."

[0:46]" Right an animal what went with with an 11 game lead and 22 games over 500 does that allow them to take their time -- Schilling."

[0:54]" All definitely -- it allows them to let Lugo people I do yeah I mean I mean -- you know I think it takes the pressure up guys and I had taken the pressure off guys. So they can come around because it's inevitable that some big guys are bound to come around and and especially with Schilling Sammy. Anybody is -- could could use a couple weeks off Wright and nova."

[1:14]" Sure and and the Lugo thing if you get the sense that we're going to see. Not a lot of platoon lingered on a lot of bench and just try to let him play himself out of because obviously he's not hurting the team too badly."

[1:23]" Right exactly you have the luxury to -- and try to come out of this thing you've seen recently. Christmas are about the evening and and even true I just don't know the -- come up with a line up. I consistent basis until I. Elect Lugo -- together."

[1:39]" I think there's no hurry whatsoever to bring Schilling back before the all star break his"

[1:44]" not at all not at all you're watching him earlier I you know I I that I didn't predictive. The saints you know -- so consistent but from one start in Mexico got -- maybe even did the album then boom he'd come back out the -- out ten. And be dominant. But you know what -- we get his agent you can even -- I think about -- you can't really practiced. Because it between start as the season goes on you're you're because they've all boats you can't. So this is great and the you know take some time off as long it's not very."

[2:16]" You know -- suggests that the -- no hitter didn't take anything extra out of him do you buy that acted as a guy when you're closer to do it to -- at the grind a little harder did you by the fact that that didn't I wasn't anymore difficult on his body."

[2:30]" All he had by definitely because of the way the game -- now -- on. And it is and everything with mode you know what happens when you hurt your arm at least for me personally over the years is when you have a real you gotta get that have a tough camp and you. He had examined Beckett then you try to -- back or something in the eight. You know again that completely game you wake up and expect it -- happen you know -- those late inning strep throat that that can get."

[2:57]" what's the difference as far as you can tell between Beckett last year and Beckett this year."

[3:02]" You know at some. This guy I was so hard on Beckett last year on the -- you know although I'd love them all along but yet to watch a guy like everybody about I'd give myself well. Not you know. I'd get in trouble go after people after people harder the biggest difference this year he's not afraid he's that type but everybody out. Night that it's not like he came up with district of you always added I think he is throwing it more has more -- about confidence and this guy. You know he's he doesn't have you could get demonstrative or anything but he is. So cool on the mound I mean almost like dead -- After he throws a nasty hook to get out of inning I mean he's incredible and I that you we don't pick the contact you -- about that because that little thicker. He's not afraid to let them put the ball play at -- time it's Capel pointed anybody out I mean I love this guy. I always have but the watch him do what you get back here you know -- and and they're -- have to analyze it. You couldn't help but get on about -- what this year I've been dropping it cy young bomb on --"

[4:06]" well Eric. You talk about that nasty -- is it possible over the course of the season for that curve ball to change a little victim. I swear he's got a little late snap and that curve ball -- here earlier in the year."

[4:17]" Yeah I -- it comes up when he wants a good one immediate there. You know argued that throw a lot of you know you watch him try to throw too hard in that purple article or strike. You know because it's so -- And that he had a bigger problems that maker a couple of times but. Is best at what is best fit is -- got a lot of practice partner but obviously going 9596 on our. It should be your best -- when you look like he's got if you get it over the other."

[4:48]" It Dennis at at the risk of raising the specter of the negativity that -- talk radio it if inaugural all of the for the fact that somebody's gonna get her on the team with some what we took the Yankees are pretty much anybody else. Who is the most in valuable guy on this squad that the Red Sox simply might not be able to replace -- sustain this kind of success if you were to went if you were to go down and I didn't want -- to -- to make you can add somebody to. Beckett we're talking about now. Papelbon Ortiz Manny and and here's a late entry what about Ameritech."

[5:20]" That fit -- that that's that I mean obviously last -- saw it happen. The thing about this ballclub that they don't have. Not that any and every club has. Everything they need but they don't really have a backup catcher would walk and Aaron who does. If you think about it but he saw what happened last your mean pitching can't blame all the bad pitching because there it wasn't there. But -- is sometimes you know you. But that the skip a beat when another catcher get an air but. Over a long haul you know that's what frightens me about Eric that you hope you didn't go through that. If you -- given enough rest you don't have to go through that last two months there. Month like. You know which is typical in the last what report here though but he's the most valuable mean not happy about the loose subject that you as a starter but. I think he's most valuable."

[6:07]" Than than a -- bruins' come up from Chicago recently in. Possible Red Sox acquisitions how much we seen this guy in and what do you think Q obviously you might fit in with the Red Sox."

[6:21]" You know effect -- I'm not a big burly guy at all talk about pitching to contact. Hit it got everybody hit it I mean I think about him that it doesn't take very long pitched game one way or another. You know he -- a lot of strikes I mean not to get on that. In the left handers have always amazed me how they get by. You know you know step it up C told -- into a no hitter he's one of the best left -- rob I -- I'm afraid of them. I'm afraid of him because he throws to respect I just you know at Fenway Park I've really don't know I don't know I -- a couple of months but beyond that I'm just not a big -- is because I think he's very durable."

[7:00]" In that seems to me were -- at this point earlier this morning act is is that they -- you know the the old adage as you can never have enough pitching. But but based on the fact that they're 22 games over 500 they don't need this guy and and and and there's no reason to fix something that's not broken. If indeed the expense for doing that would be a buchholz or Leicester or an -- bury the guys you're going to help you be good next year in the year after that and the year after that."

[7:24]" Ought not given up anybody like that no way I mean it if it it'd cost you very much. No problem now except on those guys' names around like debacle but thought of it. I'm not let anybody touch him. We all know about Lester dog is one thing that the that the cost anything I guess why not. But I've I've I've just got to go big bat is in not to get on I just. You know I would give up anything like that for."

[7:49]" Speaking of giving up is it time to stop worrying about the New York Yankees if -- Boston Red Sox fan."

[7:55]" It got some camp though -- can't expect I'd start if they thought about the Yankees a few weeks ago badly when you know whatever I had a row. And but still that they lose again and then effect that there's no way they can. Overcome you know that gap. And that you need to live up to their lineup is as good. As I thought it was you know they can score some runs that. That's Sheffield missed in Atlanta yeah -- and then this starting pitching you know when Roger came back you'd think in the big all these big -- in the rotation disconnect. Go out there and get it done. It's too much to overcome urged the ball I mean they're going to be in the mix but then again it would surprise me if they -- gap -- let me out."

[8:40]" Like last well yesterday it was a prime example a -- was a panic move but they are in desperate situations when Roger Clements -- to commit -- the bullpen in relief are you kidding me."

[8:48]" Well if they have got their community that they before he -- he felt had to do that earlier in the year -- What I thought was packed that is going to happen -- crazy although it is stated on the side but meanwhile that OPEC is is. Not that tired ball."

[9:03]" Gather fatally flawed I mean the they may win 45 general of the nine shocked me and this I think I mean they've lost five out of their last 63 to Colorado and to the San Francisco who can't score to save the life."

[9:15]" Right this second you'd think that there is out here they come they can take gap that the same way they came back you know. So it's great -- they -- out there are very happy about."

[9:25]" That is that a lot more fun though with the accuser are involved through doesn't make it more exciting season for its own experience."

[9:31]" Yeah I've got to be careful I can't they've had a -- play better but it get a closer than a lot of bad that -- there were great but. -- just for pure you know love the game and without yeah. That there's no baseball right Yankees don't play well and the Europe and I want -- Yankees and there are a lot of excitement horse you know there's a drama."

[9:52]" It Dennis do you have any sense as to why Gabbard and and not Lester pavano Lester. Struggled a bit the last couple outings down there there really being careful with this guy is there more to this story that we know."

[10:04]" I don't know about positive I think I think he would you know if you want -- come up you want to stay out you don't want to yo yo him. If there's anybody and without B Gabbard. And -- or is it may Gabbard like early but younger and throws harder. So I mean and had been early just had all the experience so I like every two -- as far as who's coming on I think he would be the guy you met with a little bit that spotlight."

[10:33]" And so when that happens to bar to the bullpen that strengthens the bullpen is it not."

[10:37]" Absolutely and it out of art he really had been I mean there has been lights out he's really got has. Open up by guys might be having any that I can pick them up in weight and don't respond to watch the golf -- you have any sort of boring watching because these. You know straight -- this -- have a good time -- to --"

[10:57]" They act we love what you do on us and thanks for much of the time a good talk and -- talk to down the road all right that's actively with Dennis and the Osce."

[11:06]" Sports --"
