Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's nights with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's NICH Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I just watched the the Red Sox Yankees game, and
I'm sure that, like many of you, disappointed with the outcome.
The season has just ended. It's like, wait a second,
this is not the way the season was supposed to
end a great performance by the Yankee pitcher tonight. I'm
(00:30):
still having a tough time pronouncing Cam Schlittler's name. I
think I got it. I think I got it right there.
His dad is the police chief in Needham, Massachusetts. And
of course you have Ben Rice, who was one of
the Yankees Yankee heroes last night, hitting that smoking that
home run to right field off of Bellow. Just unbelievable.
(00:56):
Brian Bayo, excuse me, not spelled Bellow but pronounced bail.
So what I want to do here is real quick, okay.
And I have often said it's up to my audience.
I can't ignore this game tonight. The Red Sox season
is over. For many years, you know, the season ends
because they're out of the playoffs. And when it ends
(01:17):
on that last Sunday in September, uh and Jokistigleon used
to drop used to read the poem written by the
former President of Yale Giamatti, who also have been the
president of the American League or the Commission in Baseball,
excuse me, Commission in Baseball. This is this is one
(01:38):
that wasn't expected. I mean, when the Red Sox won
forty eight hours ago, that game that Garrett Crochet pitched
and outdueled the Yankee so called ace, well they the
Yankee ace showed up tonight in the person of Cam Schlitzler.
That's uh, that's that's the irony. Their best pitcher was
in the third game. The Sox pitcher tonight was very
(02:02):
impressive during the season. Young guy who was pitching at
Double A three months ago went up and pitched briefly
at Triple A. So I'd like to just see if
people want to comment. There's nothing that says the end
of summer more dramatically than the end of the baseball season.
Now again, I know the playoffs will continue and the
(02:25):
baseball fans will will continue to watch through the World Series,
but the Red Sox won't be involved in it. I
just will make a couple of comments and in the meantime,
I hope you'll light the lines up six, seven, four,
ten thirty, six, one seven, nine thirty. This Red Sox
team accomplished a lot. They were a five hundred baseball
team into July, and they snapped back just before the
(02:51):
All Star break and had that ten game winning streak,
and all of a sudden, people said, hey, maybe this
team can actually do something, and they did. They didn't
win the division, but they they certainly one of the
better teams in the second half of the season. And
I think it's interesting with all of the injuries. I mean, uh,
you know, the the rookie players. Roman Anthony who who
(03:13):
had this weird lat strain the rib cage area and
was his season was over by the middle of August.
Marcelo Meyer, the third Basement that they brought up from Worcester,
his his season. They're now down in Florida. I have
no idea where Kristen Campbell is, the guy that started
(03:35):
second base for the Red Sox and and started on
fire and was the I think the the player of
the month in May, and then they shipped him out
to h to the to the miners, to Worcester. Uh.
They lost a couple of their starting pitchers. Cut of Crawford,
who would have been a third or fourth starter. They've
(03:59):
developed other pictures. Obviously, the purchase of the signing of
Garrett Crochet was was a brilliant move by the general
manager uh and that will pay dividends for years. They've
got a couple of left handed, young left handed pitchers
that have come along. Raffie Devers has gone. It was
an interesting year for the Red Sox, but it ended
(04:20):
all too quickly at the hands of the Yankees tonight.
So what I'm going to do. I'm just going to
open up the phone lines, and if you want to
criticize them, fine, I don't see this too much to criticize.
They had a lot of guys who were playing, I
mean in the starting lineup last night, people who were
down at Worcester a month a month ago. I think
(04:43):
of Soguard, who was playing second base. They they their catcher,
they picked up from the Yankees. You know of quick
I mean the Yankees gave up on him. Navarres that
this team, I think when you consider the players who
(05:03):
came up made an impact and then got hurt, or
you think about the players who you had expected, particularly
a couple of pitchers, Tanner Houck and cutter Crawford, who
you would have expected would have been eating up innings
early in the season. They didn't pitch us much. Houp
pitched a little bit, Crawfit I don't think pitched an inning.
I think they over accomplished. So I don't think we
(05:26):
should be sad, although it's always sad when you lose
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Six one. We don't do sports here on night Side,
but I'd love to get your thoughts on the end
of the baseball season, and if not, we'll move on
to something else. Six one seven ten thirty six one seven. Uh,
this is I'm gambling a little bit with you tonight.
I just I can't get my mind off the game.
It ended kind of like the TS Eliot. It ended
(05:58):
didn't end with a bang. It was they get shut
out for nothing by a kid who pitched for Walpole
High School. Hats off to him, Hats off for the
Yankees for finding him, for finding the guy who was
playing first base to night, who caught last night, Ben Rice.
I guess he played first base both nights now that
(06:18):
now that I think about it. But he has also
been a catcherp so I'm not looking for anything other
than a kind comment on the Red Sox. It's be
a long winter, but they did get to play a
couple of games in October, and that's what they say,
it's always meant to be. That's when when they start
the season. I think it's a young team, and I
(06:39):
think they've locked up a lot of these players. So
I'm I'm bullish. I know it's tough to be bullish,
but I'd like to hear from you six seven six
seven back right after this.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's nice eye with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, none of you want to talk about the Red Sox. Okay,
that's fine, that's fine. You have to sometimes every once
in a while, when you lose in sports, sometimes you
have to basically tip your hat to the other guy.
And I'm tipping my hat tonight to the Yankee pitcher.
And if that makes me a turncoat, that's fine. I
(07:20):
just wish we had him an art team. Twelve strikeouts,
no walks, five hits. What a performance, I mean, just
a performance for that young guy from Walpole. So if
you're in Walpole tonight, you should be able to be
very proud, even if you're a Red Sox fan. So
here's what I'm gonna do. You guys want to talk
(07:40):
about baseball, that's fine, that's fine. We're gonna go open lines,
so you can call and talk about anything you want
if you like to talk about baseball. I think we
should give a little tip of the hat to the
Red Sox as well, because they provided a lot more
entertainment this summer than many people expected. Around the fourth
of July, it was looking pretty week. Here's the number.
(08:01):
Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven,
nine three one ten thirty. Uh, anything you want to
talk about. I'd particularly like to talk about the Red Sox,
but you can call, you can talk about anything you want.
I'm off tomorrow night. I'm uh spending some time with
my colleagues from WBZ TV. There's a WBZ TV only reunion,
(08:23):
super secret. Can't tell you where it is, but I
will be back on Monday night. So be good tomorrow night, uh,
and we'll just we'll talk about anything you want to
talk about. Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty
six one seven nine three one ten thirty. I'm amazed
that some of you are not looking to talk about
(08:46):
the Red Sox. I know you're disappointed. I get it.
I get it. It seemed within I grasp, within the
Red Sox, not our grasp, none of the best play
for the Red Sox, that we could move on. And
who knows. This team I think could have done very
well against Toronto. They would be next up, and then
(09:07):
beyond that, who knows that one more series after that
and then the World Series and Lightning might have struck
and this team might have won their fourth World Series trophy.
I think they they certainly have the pitching down. They
have a few spots they have to tighten up on,
but they're injured. Players are coming back, and I think
(09:31):
that next year they will They'll have time to regroup. Uh,
there will be probably some players who will move on,
but they have They have a lot of guys who
are young guys who are under contract, and that is
a formula for winning in the long term as long
as they can stay healthy. So let's go six, one, seven, four, ten, thirty.
(09:54):
You could work in open lines. I'd love to talk
about the Red Sox, but your choice open line or
the Red Sox. And I love that when the Red
Sox are winning, everybody's a Red Sox fan. Okay, everybody's
jumping around, and yet when they lose, you can still
say something nice about your team. I think they have
a great manager class act. Alex Korra, I think that
(10:18):
from what I can tell, these guys are pretty serious guys.
They take their their profession seriously. They haven't embarrassed us
or embarrassed the city. They seem to be pretty good citizens.
And again there were other injuries as well. Who the
Red Sox lost. They lost their first baseman early early
(10:39):
in the season. Let's go to the calls. Gonna go
to Rick and foxbro Rick, I appreciate you calling in
your thoughts on the Red Sox or any other subject
you'd like to talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Hi, first time caller.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
All right, let's get you around of applause, and I
do appreciate it. Rick, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Thank you. Did you know David BRODNOI very well.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Knew him, very well, knew him for many years. Yes
I did.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Oh yeah, he was brilliant, one of.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
The smartest people I've ever met. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, so you would disappointed in the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh yeah, I mean, you know, whenever you're in a
two out of three series and you win the first game.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I think someone mentioned tonight that of all the series
where one team wins the first games, they've only been
I think in this new playoff system sixteen series, this
is the first one that a team would win the
first game and then lose the next two. So the
Red Sox, Yeah, it was tough, but it's look, baseball
at this time of year is so much great in pitching.
(11:46):
Are you a big Red Sox fan? Yes, yeah, I
mean they had a good season for what we expected.
I don't think anyone expected them to go that far,
particularly after all of the the injuries that they suffered.
They lost.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, how about the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's a different story. I know you're in Foxboro. Patriots
looked great last weekend against the pretty bad Carolina Panthers team.
Let's see how they do up in Buffalo. I mean,
if they, for some reason were to upset Buffalo or
play well against Buffalo this weekend, then I could say, hey,
this might be a playoff team. But they got to
(12:24):
beat a team like Buffalo. The Carolina team just looked
horrible last weekend, and you know, but you got to
beat As one of the one of the sports columnists
and the Globe said that you got to beat the
bad teams first, and then then you beat the better teams,
and hopefully you beat the good teams. What's your favorite sport?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Rick?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Football?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, I kind of thought so because you live in
Foxboro and it's always crazy in Foxboro on a Patriots
Sunday in Foxboro? Do you mind the traffic and all
the people who to send on your town?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, somewhat.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Do they park on young I hope that they they
respect your your property and they're not parking on your
driveway without your permission or parking all fair enough? Hey, Rick,
thank you very much for calling in. I'd love to
hear from you again. Thanks, rig appreciate your calling, Thanks
for listening. Have a great night. So now Rick, did it? Okay,
(13:26):
you can do it. Let me go to Linda in Weymouth.
Linda's a regular and I got a feeling she's going
to be a little disappointed.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Hi, Linda, I am disappointed. But guess what I was
listening to this evening?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I have no idea. What were you listening to?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Well, it's a program that you listen to and if
you feel so inclined, only once a week you can
call in. I was with you.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Good well, thank you, Linda, thank you for your loyalty.
Uh were able to watch the game and have the
audio turned down.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
My TV is is at a commission for a while.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's okay. Then we had we had, we had all
of your attention, which is which is important.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
You did. I saw what the stadium was. Yes, was
introduced to two of the new people, both the Yankee
on side and the Red Sox side. And I have
a friend who's a Yankee here.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You have you have one friend who's a Yankee.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Hater, yankeer, oh, a Yankee fan?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
You mean okay, get the right word on it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And I kudos room, and I said, made the best
person group win and made the attitudes be decent. Yeah,
that's exactly the kids.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's it's look, it's only a game. There are there
are people who get sewn invested in it, and they
think when I used to be a TV reporter back
in the day and we would be outside the garden.
This was like in the eighties when the Celtics were
doing well and people would be running out. You know,
guys were in their Celtics jerseys and we won. We won,
(15:16):
and it was all I say, what position do you play?
You know, the T one? You're a fan of the team,
you're not a member of the team.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It's just people really do get invested in it, and
I'm sure a lot of people are disappointed tonight. Would
have been nice to go ahead.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
You know, you keep your attitude. Who wins the losing teams?
Maybe we have a good attitude.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I'm you know, there were years. There were three
times this century when the Red Sox won it all
four times excuse me, four times, four, seven, and thirteen
and eighteen. So that's pretty good when you think about it.
I mean there's four There's only been what twenty five
(16:01):
World Series so far, with one in this century. We've
won four of them, and I thought they really might
be able to do it again this year. But hey, uh,
this as we it used to being with the Red Sox.
You'd finished last. I grew up in the bad old
days and you probably did too. In the Red Sox
would would if they didn't finish last. You felt, boy,
that was a great season. You know, people people sort
(16:24):
of expect that they're going to win. You can't expect
this that the Yankee team is a good team. They're
not a perfect team, but they're a pretty good team.
And uh, and they got some they got some good players. Unfortunately,
at least two of them are from Massachusetts, so it
would have been nice if we had them. Hey, Linda,
thanks thanks for checking in. Okay, I appreciate it as always,
(16:44):
you know that, thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
And I left the message was robbed that maybe perhaps
we could get some information on out on the UK
in the synagogue.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, that was a horrible tragedy over there today. It's
been a big news story, the fact that it happened
in London. I guess this guy drove his car or
his truck into his vehicle into the synagogue and then
stabbed two people. And he eventually I saw some video
where the police were backing away. He was on the ground.
He must have been shot, and they thought he had
(17:17):
some sort of an explosive vest and he could see
the police officers back pedaling very quickly. I don't think
he had it. I don't think the vest was explosive,
but it's good that they took that precaution.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
And it was a holy day. I went past a yeah,
this evening and there was a police car. Maybe took
a couple synagogue.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, one of the holiest days, if not the holiest
day of the Jewry, of the Jewish calendar. Jan Kapor,
there's no doubt about that. Thank you, Linda, appreciate you call.
We'll talk soon, Okay, be well, Thanks very much. Six
ten thirty, triple eight nine ten thirty. Also six one
seven thirty going open lines here. You can talk about
(18:01):
anything you want. I'm suggesting that maybe a topic of
the night would be for all of us to calm
down about the Red Sox and realize that actually, in fact,
they had a pretty good season compared to what was expected.
I'm going to take a quick break coming up on
the newscast at the bottom of the hour, and it
(18:22):
could be open lines. You want to talk about something else,
that's fine. I know that there are radio stations that
have sports channels and all of that, and ironically there's
probably no talk show hosting Boston who's a bigger sports
guy than I am. And actually I like sports. I
like I love sports, and I love I love it
(18:44):
in the sense that hey, the Yankees, the Yankees played
better tonight. And as somebody who played sports and as
somebody who's watched it, sometimes you just got to acknowledge
that and say, hey, guess what you know? They were
better teams tonight, and it was it came down to
one game. Deal with it. The truck leaves for Fort Myers.
I'm guessing in about one hundred and twenty nine days
(19:05):
we'll be back on Night's side. Feel free to light
them up. People seem to be depressed. We can talk,
we can we can basically help everyone get through this tonight.
Look at it like that. This team did better than
we expected, and they got a lot of young guys
coming back who right now are injured and weren't available
that might have made a difference. So the future looks
(19:26):
bright for the Red Sox. We'll bet back right after.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
This night side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
All right, all of a sudden, my audience is welcome up.
Let me go to Glenn and Bright and Glenn welcome.
How are you, sir?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Well? Half good, half bad?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay, give us the half good. Let's get positive.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Well, no, I did have a tiny grunt my gears thing,
but it's not like a real bad.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Go ahead, go ahead, Glenn, I'm I'm don't tease me here.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Well, I had a good day. I tuned a piano
for a guy and I got fit and he actually
gave me. It's funny, he said, I'm Jewish. I'm going
to give you a forty dollars tip because it's my
day of atonement. You know which I'm you know ya,
couper timing is that.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Timing's everything, Timings everything.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
The only thing is I've got to get a message
to society that you don't say over there or over
here to a blind person. I've worked for this guy
for years and I don't know if he points or
if he thinks a guy I'm constantly I told his wife,
and she cracked up.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah. Agree, Well, that's that's a good point. I think.
I think that people should be smart enough to particularly
when you're there helping someone in their home. It's not
as if you know the layout of everyone's home where
you work. So I think that's a legitimate point.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, because I'd never been in this place before. He's
got two houses, a piano in each one, and I've
done the other one, but I've never done this one.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
What else you can up?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Well, I agree with you, even though I'm on one
hand on depressed that the Yankees won. On the other hand, hey,
they've did with a better team tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're right, yeah, And they've been the better team, by
the way, for the last two months of the season.
I think they had the best record in Major League Baseball.
They had to pull their act together. The Red Sox
beat them. I think eight of the first nine games
the Red Sox and Yankees played this year, and that
had never happened before, at least in modern in modern history.
(21:29):
So hey, it's one of the things. You know, I
was just going through all the you know, they had
a first basement the Red Sox, Tristan Cassis, remember he
hurt himself in that game with the Twins. So you
lose a first baseman, you lose pitchers. Cut across with
joshuain Kowski, Tanner Hawk, those were guys who were critical
pitchers a year ago. There's some others here who could
(21:50):
have come up. Cooper Chriswell pitched pretty well when he
came up. Then they lose Marcelo Meyer, the third baseman
and infielder who who had a very nice rookie season. Uh,
and of course, uh, the the guy who they hoped
they were going to get back, Roman Anthony. That was
(22:10):
a problem. They had a couple of other pitchers, Hunter
Dobson who pitched four games. He came out of nowhere,
Jordan Hicks. I think he's got some serious control problems,
Richard Fitz, who I thought would have a good year.
And then the Red Sox lost Giolito, so if they
had to go up against Toronto, they have no Geolino,
(22:31):
who was a regular pitcher. It's it was a team
that was snake bitten by injuries. And so they'll they'll
get who.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Well, they traded they traded Devers. Yeah, Devers was a
big player. But they got some players back and who
might help them down the line, and including Harrison, the
pitcher who who was on the roster and for the
for the World Series. So yeah, it's it'll it'll, you know,
it'll get better. It'll get better. This team has a
has a I think has a significant future. I'm glad
(23:06):
you got some work today, Glenn. And I'm glad you
also got the word out that people should not say
to blind people over here like you know that that's
just rude. I would agree with you. Thank you, my friend.
I got some pack lines here and people want to
celebrate or they want to commiserate one or the other. Okay,
thanks Glenn.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Who should hold me last night?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I have no idea, Glenn, but I have trouble to
remember who was on last hour?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Okay, Who's who's doing in tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Who's doing tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I think it's Bradley, I'm not sure. Okay, just listen
and be polite and we'll see you Monday night. Thank
you very much. And if I could keep you up
to date on anything else you need, anything else you need,
like whether in Los Angeles or anything that I can
help you with here. No, no, just let me know,
you know if you if you need any of the
meaning of life, I'm here to answer your questions. Glenn,
talk to you soon. Let's keep rolling here, but we're
(23:59):
gonna go to Long Island. He's going to brag on
the Yankees and he has a right to tonight. Hi, Will,
how are.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You No, I'm not going to brag on the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
I'm a Mets fan.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Well, you got nothing to brag about with the Mets,
but that's okay.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
My son was at the game last night, at the
Yankee game. He's also a metsman. He said, I'm gonna
wear my Mets hat. I said, okay, he goes, I'm
going to talk a little smack. I said, that's probably
not a good idea, not a.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Good How old your son? How old your son? He's twelve, Yeah,
he'll be okay. No one's going to beat him up
at you. But if he was like thirteen to fourteen,
he could he could be in for a beating there kidding.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I said, they're not going to beat you off, but
they are going to have a lot of stuff to
say that you're not going to have answers for. I mean,
if you look at our end of our season versus
how they ended that season, I probably would just put
my head down and keep my Met hat on, even
maybe clap for the Yankees every now and then because
you just have nothing to say. But I gotta be honest,
I have no ill will towards Boston. You guys like
(24:54):
made my childhood. I was ten in nineteen eighty six,
and you know not that I wish any anything bad,
on on uh on, on on what's his name? Uh,
you know, the greatest error in history, that Bill.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Bill Bucker Bill.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
But right, and and and it didn't decide the series.
You know, it did just get us to the last game.
But you know that was you know, from my point
of view, not from your guys, obviously, but from my
point of view, it was one of the greatest moments
in my life as a kid, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
What I mean.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
I never had Bill will towards Boston, you know, like,
and I kind of was rooting for Boston a little
bit because when you're a Met fan, you know, I look,
when I talk to Yankee fans that hate Met fans,
I say, that's just petty, okay, But when Yankee.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Fans despised, when the Met fans despise Yankee fans, that's
because we're bitter, angry and resentful.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's like it's like, you you can't hate us because
you got to understand how much losing we do. Like
I'm a Giants fan, right, we have Super Bowls, we
have wins. I don't hate Jet fans when they start
talking smack, I kind of feel bedroom. I'm like, you know,
I get it. You guys, nobody my age ever saw
the Jets in a Super Bowl or win a Super Bowl.
You know, anybody that's fifty years old that's a Jet
(26:09):
fan has known nothing pretty much but misery.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
The Jets have one, the Giants. The Jets have one.
The Giants have two, right.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
The Jets have no. The Giants have two. Just against
you guys, okay, just against your undefeated team. We have one,
and then we have another one two thousand and seven,
two thousand and nine, we were in another one we
lost in two thousand and we won in nineteen eighty six. Also,
so we have some winning and we have you know,
division titles, and we have other things. The Giants have
(26:38):
things they could point to, even though they're terrible right.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Now, The Giants won a Super Bowl in eighty six.
That was the Bears year. The Beers beat the Patriots that.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Year the Giants. The Giants won the eighty six eighty
seven Super Bowl, the one where they beat Denver.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Okay, so you have three. So you have three Giants.
Fans have three super Bowls right now. You got some championships,
you know, and I see you you know right, you
know NFL AFL days. But and the Jets have one
so yeah, I mean they have one.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
They have one in nineteen sixty nine against the old
Johnny United. So you'd have to be to see that
Super Bowl. You would have to be over fifty, right,
you would have.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I saw that Super Bowl. I saw that Super Bowl,
absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
So everybody that's my age though, knows nothing, but.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Miss No, I understand. I do understand.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
They never saw. So I just I feel I feel
like Yankee fans that hate on us, I'm like, you
should have a little sympathy. We're absolutely horrible. The Mets
have found all different types of horrible ways to end seasons.
This is a perfect example this season. I kind of
root for Boston a little bit when they're playing the Yankees,
just to take them down a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
But you gotta have you. You had two guys, you know,
the Yankees had two guys from Massachusetts, a kid from
Cohassett and a kid from Walpole.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Well did you see that kid pitch tonight? That twenty
four year old kid pitching innings? Yeah, Schlittler, I mean
that was I mean, you know his dad.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
His dad is a police chief in Needham, Massachusetts, which
is a nice town on Route one. Twenty eight. He
pitched for Walt He wasn't he wasn't recruited heavily. He
pitched at Northeastern. The Northeastern coach is Tommy Glavin's brother,
Mike Glappan who played in the major leagues. Uh and uh.
(28:22):
He seems like a really great kid and someone who
you could root for. And again, if you knew Walpole,
it's a great town. The town up until now it
was best known for Joe Morgan, the old manager of
the Red Sox.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Uh, you know Bud boy, he's got to be on
top of the world tonight.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
And guess what you sound like a You sound like
a big baseball fan like I am.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
And I gotta be honest.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I see a guy go out there and do something
like that. I always look for the guy that can
do it when the when the spotlight is on. This
kid is twenty four years old and he went out
there and pitched against Boston in a one to one
series at home in front of the fans. You don't
have playoff experience, you're a rookie, and this guy went
out his first playoff game and shoots at eight in
(29:06):
and donut on the board.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
I mean you know.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That's he was pitching in Scranton early in the He
was at Scranton Wilkesbury early in the year, you know. So, yeah,
this is a great story. And the kid who was
pitching for the Red Sox tonight, who also is a
pretty impressive looking young guy, did two years at West
Point and then transferred to UVA uh and was pitching
double A baseball three months ago up in Portland.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
So both of these guys, Yeah, he's got you guys.
You guys get to not hear it anymore though. You see,
that's the thing about a Boston paint. You don't live
over here, you don't have to hear it anymore. We
have to hear it every single day from the Yankee
fans right now, like I'm gonna have to go to
work tomorrow and it's just gonna be just.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Sosa wasn't a great investment. Sosa seems to be a
guy who no matter where he was, you know, whether
he was with the Nationals, he wasn't happy.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
There wasn't a long list of bad investments they go
on for You could I could sing a song like
uh like we didn't start the fire with all the
different names that Billy Joel puts in the song, I
could sing a whole song.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Of investments from the New York Mets.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
We're famous for that week.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Had you had some look, you had some great, great years,
uh in the late sixties, when all of a sudden,
sever and Kuzman and Gentry and all those guys came up,
and sobot uh Brandpoole and and then you know, you
had you had the early seventies before before you were born.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
They then we had.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Then we had the crazy bunch of lunatics in eighty six,
the nut job baseball team that was really good and
probably could have done more than they did, and probably
could have done well in eighty eight and other years too.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
But by the way, you know who's a good guy
on that team? And you're gonna probably disagree with me.
I had Daryl Strawberry on one night a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Oh well, I would I disagree.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I love that man, great guy, great guy. Well, I'm
just saying, you know, you think of it as the
dark goodin Mets.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
You know, and uh yeah, like listen and him and
Cone and Strawberry and listen, you know who was not
a good guy on that team? Even though we had
the roof for him because they're playing well. Was Lenny Dykstra.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
But as far as like right, no, Dykes.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Just seemed like a guy, just seemed like a guy
that had a lot of fame and a lot of money,
and he just got caught up in some stuff, which
I know about because I'm sober for a long time.
I definitely have empathy for Strawberry.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Strawberry has straightened out as well. Hey, well, we could
talk baseball all night, okay, but I gotta I gotta
run for now because I'm up against it. And I
very much thank you for calling in tonight, my friend.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Thank you much better than fighting buddy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I'll talk to you later. All right, we got we
got uh three great calls coming up, and I got
two lines open at six, one, seven, four, ten thirty
back on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Right after this, You're on night Side with Dan Ray
on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
All right, back to the calls. We got Laurie Laurie
in Idaho, the biggest Red Sox fan west of the
Mississippi River.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Hi, Laurie, Hawaii, I am joining the Red Sox Wake tonight.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Devastating, devastating, Oh really, tough.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
I actually, after yesterday's last I kind of felt I
just felt like the bubble had a little bit of
a prick in it and it was gonna. Yeah, I
mean I think that. I mean, the Socks plan was
for you know, they able to do better last night
and then and then tonight are fielding what the heck?
And the Yankees, I mean, they got these amazing, stupid,
(32:33):
obnoxious the good fielding situations going on.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I thought that that played that and I was watching
a little bit where the second basement went in the
hole got the ball and somehow got story the lead runner,
the shortstop Vulpie made a great catch and still was
able to make to tag the bag with his foot
and finish off the double play, and we.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Left balls that were dropping in front of the players.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Hello, yeah, yeah, oh sure, yeah, But I'm still.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
You're right here.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
I agree with few year Rady was the season turned
out much better than it looked at mid season, and
considering all the injuries, oh my gosh, the injuries.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So and also you got I mean, at some point,
this kid, Kristen Campbell is going to straighten himself out.
Marcello Meyer is going to be back. Roman Anthony is
going to be back Tristan's appeal.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
But you can understand without injury, you can't. You can't
swing a back.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
So oh yeah, I mean you could talk in football
about the next man up, next man up, because but
but baseball, those are skilled positions and you I mean
even like a Bray who was who has been the
shell of himself because he hasn't seen pitching for yeah, yep,
four or five weeks and then he didn't have a
great series.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
No, well none of them did did obviously, Well, the
first game was great, but when I lost the second one,
I thought, you know what this is. I think I
think everybody's thought was they was going to go longer
than he did. And when that didn't happen, it just
sort of shifted everything, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
They So Dan was who had a great season, great
defensive player and hits, you know, supplied some of the
most important the late inning, ninth inning hits. He was
over ten in the series.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Yeah, I mean he picked a really bad time to
have a slump on yep.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, well it can happen, It can happen. But that
Yankee pitcher Tonight throwing.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
Ninety nine amazing didn't he set a playoff, didn't he
sun a record?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yo? Yeah, well he so. For somebody who went eight
innings and to be to throw a shutout for eight
innings and also to have twelve strikeouts unbelievable, but.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
He was.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
He was as good tonight as Crochet was on Monday night.
He was actually better tonight than Crochet. No, I'm serious.
I mean, you know, I still think Crochet is proven more.
This kid was four and three during the season. He's
got to come back and prove it. My boy, what
an upside this kid has. And Walpole, Massachusetts.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Feel bad for our kid. I mean he had no
fielding back up.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah yeah, it's just one of those nights and go Bruins,
I guess, go Bruins. Yeah, that's we'll worry about the Bruins. Laurie,
love you calls. We'll talk soon. Thanks so much.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Good right, good.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Let me go to Steve and Virginia Beach. Steve gonna
get you in here, and I gotta get Geo and
and over and maybe even Tim and went from go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Great, Hi Dan, Happy October.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Well, it's gonna be a long October. Now the Red
sox are roude, but go right ahead.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
Okay, Well, anyway, I had to also maybe a nice
subject and not so nice. Uh one thing is the
first one not so nice is maybe have a show
with a theme about seniors and the cost of living
and the thread of lowering intra straits. And then they're
savings take as much money and uh, you know the
(35:58):
value of the dollar going down and the government one
strike or whatever.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Okay, well yeah, well you know, depending upon I mean,
I think the economy has been holding pretty strong. I mean,
all of these predictions of a few months ago have
you had to materialize. But when when that happens, we'll
we'll do it. We've had two or three shows on tariffs.
We've had the professor from Boston University who's who's one
of my favorite guests. So you got to listen to
(36:26):
us every night because if you miss what, you know,
we we we hit different different nights. We talked last night.
I don't know if you listened at nine last night
we talked about the cutbacks at research medical research universities
with the Chancellor at UMass medical doctor Collins. So I'll
(36:47):
bet you didn't listen to our nine o'clock hour last night.
You would have enjoyed it.
Speaker 9 (36:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna work for a late night person. I'd
perked up around now. But yeah, I did hear the
tariff ones that I even called in and I said,
you should rent a white horse and drive through Boston
with a horse. Yell, and the tarifs are coming. The
tarrors are coming right, but so far, so far they
haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
But Greg Stoller, who is our professor from BEU, great guy.
Will have him on soon, trust me, we will. I mean,
I'm not going to panic people here. You know, we
were going to talk tonight about the the government shutdown.
But you know, I like the I want to I'm
not looking to stir people up. I'm looking to help
(37:28):
people and let them know. You know, you so scurity
checks aren't gonna go away. You're gonna get your so
scurity check this month. That sort of stuff. So, but
thank you for that suggestion. I will take that seriously
and I appreciate it. I really do, Steve.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
Thanks to my other subject, much more pleasant.
Speaker 11 (37:45):
I just wanted to say is do you have any
memories of like nineteen sixties or seventies radio in Boston
with Annie Ginsburg and that sounded like such a fun time.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
I was around that time. I listen to all those guys.
But to be honest with you, I'm not going to
relive guys who are on other stations. I mean, Woo
Woo Ginsburg was a great, great guy, no doubt, no doubt.
But you know, I'm I'm looking forward to because I
want to get I want to get more young people
interested in radio. Guys like you and me are always
(38:19):
going to be as interested. We can do something like
that in some night. Maybe in a twentieth hour on
a Friday night, we'll do who was your favorite person
in radio? Larry Glick, you know, Woo Woog Ginsburg. A
lot of those guys. I got to get at least
one more in Steve. I'm gonna run, But thank you
for joining us tonight. Call more often and call earlier.
I'd love to give you more time. You sound like
an interesting caller.
Speaker 9 (38:39):
Okay, okay, thanks a lot, Dan, Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Let me get the geo. GEO you've called late. You
go right ahead, GEO.
Speaker 12 (38:45):
Love to hear open to draw today. Yep, in a
desk in the back bedroom, and in the draw was
I think his name was small. He was the Lowell
Spinner's general manager. Yes, do you know did you ever
meet the Lowell as general manager?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think the spinners. I threw the first pitch out there.
I think five years in a row. I don't know
that name, but.
Speaker 12 (39:08):
Okay, so anyway, I tommed a card and underneath his
card was the Pawtucket general manager named Ray my Son's son.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
My son, ye my son. He was the d was
Larry Latino's general manager.
Speaker 12 (39:23):
Protucket general manager Janet Wu said to me one night,
they Wu socks are named after me. Anyway, a good
program would be you interviewing your son. Because Breslow is
I see him as the Giolito. His contract allowed him
(39:46):
to take nineteen million or opt out, and there wasn't
anything so wrong with him.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
The two days after he pitched.
Speaker 12 (39:54):
They decided he wasn't pitching anymore. In other words, he's taking,
he's taking.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
He's the allright, Gell. I got to tell you there
were other calls, but I'm up against a call earlier.
How much time I got left?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Twenty seconds, Geo. That was not me cutting you off,
that was Rob. I want to thank everybody did call.
Wish you called earlier, folks to Tim and Winthrop, sorry others. Sorry,
all dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's
my pal Charlie Rays, who passed fifteen years ago in February.
That's where all your pets are who passed. They loved you,
You love them. You'll see him again. Rob, thank you, Mariita,
thank you. Off tomorrow. I'd be good to Bradley. See
(40:29):
you Monday night. Everybody, have a great weekend.
It's nights with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's NICH Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I just watched the the Red Sox Yankees game, and
I'm sure that, like many of you, disappointed with the outcome.
The season has just ended. It's like, wait a second,
this is not the way the season was supposed to
end a great performance by the Yankee pitcher tonight. I'm
(00:30):
still having a tough time pronouncing Cam Schlittler's name. I
think I got it. I think I got it right there.
His dad is the police chief in Needham, Massachusetts. And
of course you have Ben Rice, who was one of
the Yankees Yankee heroes last night, hitting that smoking that
home run to right field off of Bellow. Just unbelievable.
(00:56):
Brian Bayo, excuse me, not spelled Bellow but pronounced bail.
So what I want to do here is real quick, okay.
And I have often said it's up to my audience.
I can't ignore this game tonight. The Red Sox season
is over. For many years, you know, the season ends
because they're out of the playoffs. And when it ends
(01:17):
on that last Sunday in September, uh and Jokistigleon used
to drop used to read the poem written by the
former President of Yale Giamatti, who also have been the
president of the American League or the Commission in Baseball,
excuse me, Commission in Baseball. This is this is one
(01:38):
that wasn't expected. I mean, when the Red Sox won
forty eight hours ago, that game that Garrett Crochet pitched
and outdueled the Yankee so called ace, well they the
Yankee ace showed up tonight in the person of Cam Schlitzler.
That's uh, that's that's the irony. Their best pitcher was
in the third game. The Sox pitcher tonight was very
(02:02):
impressive during the season. Young guy who was pitching at
Double A three months ago went up and pitched briefly
at Triple A. So I'd like to just see if
people want to comment. There's nothing that says the end
of summer more dramatically than the end of the baseball season.
Now again, I know the playoffs will continue and the
(02:25):
baseball fans will will continue to watch through the World Series,
but the Red Sox won't be involved in it. I
just will make a couple of comments and in the meantime,
I hope you'll light the lines up six, seven, four,
ten thirty, six, one seven, nine thirty. This Red Sox
team accomplished a lot. They were a five hundred baseball
team into July, and they snapped back just before the
(02:51):
All Star break and had that ten game winning streak,
and all of a sudden, people said, hey, maybe this
team can actually do something, and they did. They didn't
win the division, but they they certainly one of the
better teams in the second half of the season. And
I think it's interesting with all of the injuries. I mean, uh,
you know, the the rookie players. Roman Anthony who who
(03:13):
had this weird lat strain the rib cage area and
was his season was over by the middle of August.
Marcelo Meyer, the third Basement that they brought up from Worcester,
his his season. They're now down in Florida. I have
no idea where Kristen Campbell is, the guy that started
(03:35):
second base for the Red Sox and and started on
fire and was the I think the the player of
the month in May, and then they shipped him out
to h to the to the miners, to Worcester. Uh.
They lost a couple of their starting pitchers. Cut of Crawford,
who would have been a third or fourth starter. They've
(03:59):
developed other pictures. Obviously, the purchase of the signing of
Garrett Crochet was was a brilliant move by the general
manager uh and that will pay dividends for years. They've
got a couple of left handed, young left handed pitchers
that have come along. Raffie Devers has gone. It was
an interesting year for the Red Sox, but it ended
(04:20):
all too quickly at the hands of the Yankees tonight.
So what I'm going to do. I'm just going to
open up the phone lines, and if you want to
criticize them, fine, I don't see this too much to criticize.
They had a lot of guys who were playing, I
mean in the starting lineup last night, people who were
down at Worcester a month a month ago. I think
(04:43):
of Soguard, who was playing second base. They they their catcher,
they picked up from the Yankees. You know of quick
I mean the Yankees gave up on him. Navarres that
this team, I think when you consider the players who
(05:03):
came up made an impact and then got hurt, or
you think about the players who you had expected, particularly
a couple of pitchers, Tanner Houck and cutter Crawford, who
you would have expected would have been eating up innings
early in the season. They didn't pitch us much. Houp
pitched a little bit, Crawfit I don't think pitched an inning.
I think they over accomplished. So I don't think we
(05:26):
should be sad, although it's always sad when you lose
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Six one. We don't do sports here on night Side,
but I'd love to get your thoughts on the end
of the baseball season, and if not, we'll move on
to something else. Six one seven ten thirty six one seven. Uh,
this is I'm gambling a little bit with you tonight.
I just I can't get my mind off the game.
It ended kind of like the TS Eliot. It ended
(05:58):
didn't end with a bang. It was they get shut
out for nothing by a kid who pitched for Walpole
High School. Hats off to him, Hats off for the
Yankees for finding him, for finding the guy who was
playing first base to night, who caught last night, Ben Rice.
I guess he played first base both nights now that
(06:18):
now that I think about it. But he has also
been a catcherp so I'm not looking for anything other
than a kind comment on the Red Sox. It's be
a long winter, but they did get to play a
couple of games in October, and that's what they say,
it's always meant to be. That's when when they start
the season. I think it's a young team, and I
(06:39):
think they've locked up a lot of these players. So
I'm I'm bullish. I know it's tough to be bullish,
but I'd like to hear from you six seven six
seven back right after this.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's nice eye with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, none of you want to talk about the Red Sox. Okay,
that's fine, that's fine. You have to sometimes every once
in a while, when you lose in sports, sometimes you
have to basically tip your hat to the other guy.
And I'm tipping my hat tonight to the Yankee pitcher.
And if that makes me a turncoat, that's fine. I
(07:20):
just wish we had him an art team. Twelve strikeouts,
no walks, five hits. What a performance, I mean, just
a performance for that young guy from Walpole. So if
you're in Walpole tonight, you should be able to be
very proud, even if you're a Red Sox fan. So
here's what I'm gonna do. You guys want to talk
(07:40):
about baseball, that's fine, that's fine. We're gonna go open lines,
so you can call and talk about anything you want
if you like to talk about baseball. I think we
should give a little tip of the hat to the
Red Sox as well, because they provided a lot more
entertainment this summer than many people expected. Around the fourth
of July, it was looking pretty week. Here's the number.
(08:01):
Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven,
nine three one ten thirty. Uh, anything you want to
talk about. I'd particularly like to talk about the Red Sox,
but you can call, you can talk about anything you want.
I'm off tomorrow night. I'm uh spending some time with
my colleagues from WBZ TV. There's a WBZ TV only reunion,
(08:23):
super secret. Can't tell you where it is, but I
will be back on Monday night. So be good tomorrow night, uh,
and we'll just we'll talk about anything you want to
talk about. Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty
six one seven nine three one ten thirty. I'm amazed
that some of you are not looking to talk about
(08:46):
the Red Sox. I know you're disappointed. I get it.
I get it. It seemed within I grasp, within the
Red Sox, not our grasp, none of the best play
for the Red Sox, that we could move on. And
who knows. This team I think could have done very
well against Toronto. They would be next up, and then
(09:07):
beyond that, who knows that one more series after that
and then the World Series and Lightning might have struck
and this team might have won their fourth World Series trophy.
I think they they certainly have the pitching down. They
have a few spots they have to tighten up on,
but they're injured. Players are coming back, and I think
(09:31):
that next year they will They'll have time to regroup. Uh,
there will be probably some players who will move on,
but they have They have a lot of guys who
are young guys who are under contract, and that is
a formula for winning in the long term as long
as they can stay healthy. So let's go six, one, seven, four, ten, thirty.
(09:54):
You could work in open lines. I'd love to talk
about the Red Sox, but your choice open line or
the Red Sox. And I love that when the Red
Sox are winning, everybody's a Red Sox fan. Okay, everybody's
jumping around, and yet when they lose, you can still
say something nice about your team. I think they have
a great manager class act. Alex Korra, I think that
(10:18):
from what I can tell, these guys are pretty serious guys.
They take their their profession seriously. They haven't embarrassed us
or embarrassed the city. They seem to be pretty good citizens.
And again there were other injuries as well. Who the
Red Sox lost. They lost their first baseman early early
(10:39):
in the season. Let's go to the calls. Gonna go
to Rick and foxbro Rick, I appreciate you calling in
your thoughts on the Red Sox or any other subject
you'd like to talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Hi, first time caller.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
All right, let's get you around of applause, and I
do appreciate it. Rick, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Thank you. Did you know David BRODNOI very well.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Knew him, very well, knew him for many years. Yes
I did.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Oh yeah, he was brilliant, one of.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
The smartest people I've ever met. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, so you would disappointed in the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh yeah, I mean, you know, whenever you're in a
two out of three series and you win the first game.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I think someone mentioned tonight that of all the series
where one team wins the first games, they've only been
I think in this new playoff system sixteen series, this
is the first one that a team would win the
first game and then lose the next two. So the
Red Sox, Yeah, it was tough, but it's look, baseball
at this time of year is so much great in pitching.
(11:46):
Are you a big Red Sox fan? Yes, yeah, I
mean they had a good season for what we expected.
I don't think anyone expected them to go that far,
particularly after all of the the injuries that they suffered.
They lost.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, how about the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That's a different story. I know you're in Foxboro. Patriots
looked great last weekend against the pretty bad Carolina Panthers team.
Let's see how they do up in Buffalo. I mean,
if they, for some reason were to upset Buffalo or
play well against Buffalo this weekend, then I could say, hey,
this might be a playoff team. But they got to
(12:24):
beat a team like Buffalo. The Carolina team just looked
horrible last weekend, and you know, but you got to
beat As one of the one of the sports columnists
and the Globe said that you got to beat the
bad teams first, and then then you beat the better teams,
and hopefully you beat the good teams. What's your favorite sport?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Rick?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Football?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, I kind of thought so because you live in
Foxboro and it's always crazy in Foxboro on a Patriots
Sunday in Foxboro? Do you mind the traffic and all
the people who to send on your town?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, somewhat.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Do they park on young I hope that they they
respect your your property and they're not parking on your
driveway without your permission or parking all fair enough? Hey, Rick,
thank you very much for calling in. I'd love to
hear from you again. Thanks, rig appreciate your calling, Thanks
for listening. Have a great night. So now Rick, did it? Okay,
(13:26):
you can do it. Let me go to Linda in Weymouth.
Linda's a regular and I got a feeling she's going
to be a little disappointed.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Hi, Linda, I am disappointed. But guess what I was
listening to this evening?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I have no idea. What were you listening to?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Well, it's a program that you listen to and if
you feel so inclined, only once a week you can
call in. I was with you.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Good well, thank you, Linda, thank you for your loyalty.
Uh were able to watch the game and have the
audio turned down.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
My TV is is at a commission for a while.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's okay. Then we had we had, we had all
of your attention, which is which is important.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
You did. I saw what the stadium was. Yes, was
introduced to two of the new people, both the Yankee
on side and the Red Sox side. And I have
a friend who's a Yankee here.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You have you have one friend who's a Yankee.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Hater, yankeer, oh, a Yankee fan?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
You mean okay, get the right word on it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And I kudos room, and I said, made the best
person group win and made the attitudes be decent. Yeah,
that's exactly the kids.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's it's look, it's only a game. There are there
are people who get sewn invested in it, and they
think when I used to be a TV reporter back
in the day and we would be outside the garden.
This was like in the eighties when the Celtics were
doing well and people would be running out. You know,
guys were in their Celtics jerseys and we won. We won,
(15:16):
and it was all I say, what position do you play?
You know, the T one? You're a fan of the team,
you're not a member of the team.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It's just people really do get invested in it, and
I'm sure a lot of people are disappointed tonight. Would
have been nice to go ahead.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
You know, you keep your attitude. Who wins the losing teams?
Maybe we have a good attitude.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I'm you know, there were years. There were three
times this century when the Red Sox won it all
four times excuse me, four times, four, seven, and thirteen
and eighteen. So that's pretty good when you think about it.
I mean there's four There's only been what twenty five
(16:01):
World Series so far, with one in this century. We've
won four of them, and I thought they really might
be able to do it again this year. But hey, uh,
this as we it used to being with the Red Sox.
You'd finished last. I grew up in the bad old
days and you probably did too. In the Red Sox
would would if they didn't finish last. You felt, boy,
that was a great season. You know, people people sort
(16:24):
of expect that they're going to win. You can't expect
this that the Yankee team is a good team. They're
not a perfect team, but they're a pretty good team.
And uh, and they got some they got some good players. Unfortunately,
at least two of them are from Massachusetts, so it
would have been nice if we had them. Hey, Linda,
thanks thanks for checking in. Okay, I appreciate it as always,
(16:44):
you know that, thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
And I left the message was robbed that maybe perhaps
we could get some information on out on the UK
in the synagogue.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, that was a horrible tragedy over there today. It's
been a big news story, the fact that it happened
in London. I guess this guy drove his car or
his truck into his vehicle into the synagogue and then
stabbed two people. And he eventually I saw some video
where the police were backing away. He was on the ground.
He must have been shot, and they thought he had
(17:17):
some sort of an explosive vest and he could see
the police officers back pedaling very quickly. I don't think
he had it. I don't think the vest was explosive,
but it's good that they took that precaution.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
And it was a holy day. I went past a yeah,
this evening and there was a police car. Maybe took
a couple synagogue.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, one of the holiest days, if not the holiest
day of the Jewry, of the Jewish calendar. Jan Kapor,
there's no doubt about that. Thank you, Linda, appreciate you call.
We'll talk soon, Okay, be well, Thanks very much. Six
ten thirty, triple eight nine ten thirty. Also six one
seven thirty going open lines here. You can talk about
(18:01):
anything you want. I'm suggesting that maybe a topic of
the night would be for all of us to calm
down about the Red Sox and realize that actually, in fact,
they had a pretty good season compared to what was expected.
I'm going to take a quick break coming up on
the newscast at the bottom of the hour, and it
(18:22):
could be open lines. You want to talk about something else,
that's fine. I know that there are radio stations that
have sports channels and all of that, and ironically there's
probably no talk show hosting Boston who's a bigger sports
guy than I am. And actually I like sports. I
like I love sports, and I love I love it
(18:44):
in the sense that hey, the Yankees, the Yankees played
better tonight. And as somebody who played sports and as
somebody who's watched it, sometimes you just got to acknowledge
that and say, hey, guess what you know? They were
better teams tonight, and it was it came down to
one game. Deal with it. The truck leaves for Fort Myers.
I'm guessing in about one hundred and twenty nine days
(19:05):
we'll be back on Night's side. Feel free to light
them up. People seem to be depressed. We can talk,
we can we can basically help everyone get through this tonight.
Look at it like that. This team did better than
we expected, and they got a lot of young guys
coming back who right now are injured and weren't available
that might have made a difference. So the future looks
(19:26):
bright for the Red Sox. We'll bet back right after.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
This night side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
All right, all of a sudden, my audience is welcome up.
Let me go to Glenn and Bright and Glenn welcome.
How are you, sir?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Well? Half good, half bad?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay, give us the half good. Let's get positive.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Well, no, I did have a tiny grunt my gears thing,
but it's not like a real bad.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Go ahead, go ahead, Glenn, I'm I'm don't tease me here.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Well, I had a good day. I tuned a piano
for a guy and I got fit and he actually
gave me. It's funny, he said, I'm Jewish. I'm going
to give you a forty dollars tip because it's my
day of atonement. You know which I'm you know ya,
couper timing is that.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Timing's everything, Timings everything.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
The only thing is I've got to get a message
to society that you don't say over there or over
here to a blind person. I've worked for this guy
for years and I don't know if he points or
if he thinks a guy I'm constantly I told his wife,
and she cracked up.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah. Agree, Well, that's that's a good point. I think.
I think that people should be smart enough to particularly
when you're there helping someone in their home. It's not
as if you know the layout of everyone's home where
you work. So I think that's a legitimate point.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, because I'd never been in this place before. He's
got two houses, a piano in each one, and I've
done the other one, but I've never done this one.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
What else you can up?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Well, I agree with you, even though I'm on one
hand on depressed that the Yankees won. On the other hand, hey,
they've did with a better team tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're right, yeah, And they've been the better team, by
the way, for the last two months of the season.
I think they had the best record in Major League Baseball.
They had to pull their act together. The Red Sox
beat them. I think eight of the first nine games
the Red Sox and Yankees played this year, and that
had never happened before, at least in modern in modern history.
(21:29):
So hey, it's one of the things. You know, I
was just going through all the you know, they had
a first basement the Red Sox, Tristan Cassis, remember he
hurt himself in that game with the Twins. So you
lose a first baseman, you lose pitchers. Cut across with
joshuain Kowski, Tanner Hawk, those were guys who were critical
pitchers a year ago. There's some others here who could
(21:50):
have come up. Cooper Chriswell pitched pretty well when he
came up. Then they lose Marcelo Meyer, the third baseman
and infielder who who had a very nice rookie season. Uh,
and of course, uh, the the guy who they hoped
they were going to get back, Roman Anthony. That was
(22:10):
a problem. They had a couple of other pitchers, Hunter
Dobson who pitched four games. He came out of nowhere,
Jordan Hicks. I think he's got some serious control problems,
Richard Fitz, who I thought would have a good year.
And then the Red Sox lost Giolito, so if they
had to go up against Toronto, they have no Geolino,
(22:31):
who was a regular pitcher. It's it was a team
that was snake bitten by injuries. And so they'll they'll
get who.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Well, they traded they traded Devers. Yeah, Devers was a
big player. But they got some players back and who
might help them down the line, and including Harrison, the
pitcher who who was on the roster and for the
for the World Series. So yeah, it's it'll it'll, you know,
it'll get better. It'll get better. This team has a
has a I think has a significant future. I'm glad
(23:06):
you got some work today, Glenn. And I'm glad you
also got the word out that people should not say
to blind people over here like you know that that's
just rude. I would agree with you. Thank you, my friend.
I got some pack lines here and people want to
celebrate or they want to commiserate one or the other. Okay,
thanks Glenn.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Who should hold me last night?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I have no idea, Glenn, but I have trouble to
remember who was on last hour?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Okay, Who's who's doing in tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Who's doing tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I think it's Bradley, I'm not sure. Okay, just listen
and be polite and we'll see you Monday night. Thank
you very much. And if I could keep you up
to date on anything else you need, anything else you need,
like whether in Los Angeles or anything that I can
help you with here. No, no, just let me know,
you know if you if you need any of the
meaning of life, I'm here to answer your questions. Glenn,
talk to you soon. Let's keep rolling here, but we're
(23:59):
gonna go to Long Island. He's going to brag on
the Yankees and he has a right to tonight. Hi, Will,
how are.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You No, I'm not going to brag on the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
I'm a Mets fan.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Well, you got nothing to brag about with the Mets,
but that's okay.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
My son was at the game last night, at the
Yankee game. He's also a metsman. He said, I'm gonna
wear my Mets hat. I said, okay, he goes, I'm
going to talk a little smack. I said, that's probably
not a good idea, not a.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Good How old your son? How old your son? He's twelve, Yeah,
he'll be okay. No one's going to beat him up
at you. But if he was like thirteen to fourteen,
he could he could be in for a beating there kidding.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I said, they're not going to beat you off, but
they are going to have a lot of stuff to
say that you're not going to have answers for. I mean,
if you look at our end of our season versus
how they ended that season, I probably would just put
my head down and keep my Met hat on, even
maybe clap for the Yankees every now and then because
you just have nothing to say. But I gotta be honest,
I have no ill will towards Boston. You guys like
(24:54):
made my childhood. I was ten in nineteen eighty six,
and you know not that I wish any anything bad,
on on uh on, on on what's his name? Uh,
you know, the greatest error in history, that Bill.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Bill Bucker Bill.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
But right, and and and it didn't decide the series.
You know, it did just get us to the last game.
But you know that was you know, from my point
of view, not from your guys, obviously, but from my
point of view, it was one of the greatest moments
in my life as a kid, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
What I mean.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
I never had Bill will towards Boston, you know, like,
and I kind of was rooting for Boston a little
bit because when you're a Met fan, you know, I look,
when I talk to Yankee fans that hate Met fans,
I say, that's just petty, okay, But when Yankee.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Fans despised, when the Met fans despise Yankee fans, that's
because we're bitter, angry and resentful.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's like it's like, you you can't hate us because
you got to understand how much losing we do. Like
I'm a Giants fan, right, we have Super Bowls, we
have wins. I don't hate Jet fans when they start
talking smack, I kind of feel bedroom. I'm like, you know,
I get it. You guys, nobody my age ever saw
the Jets in a Super Bowl or win a Super Bowl.
You know, anybody that's fifty years old that's a Jet
(26:09):
fan has known nothing pretty much but misery.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
The Jets have one, the Giants. The Jets have one.
The Giants have two, right.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
The Jets have no. The Giants have two. Just against
you guys, okay, just against your undefeated team. We have one,
and then we have another one two thousand and seven,
two thousand and nine, we were in another one we
lost in two thousand and we won in nineteen eighty six. Also,
so we have some winning and we have you know,
division titles, and we have other things. The Giants have
(26:38):
things they could point to, even though they're terrible right.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Now, The Giants won a Super Bowl in eighty six.
That was the Bears year. The Beers beat the Patriots that.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Year the Giants. The Giants won the eighty six eighty
seven Super Bowl, the one where they beat Denver.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Okay, so you have three. So you have three Giants.
Fans have three super Bowls right now. You got some championships,
you know, and I see you you know right, you
know NFL AFL days. But and the Jets have one
so yeah, I mean they have one.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
They have one in nineteen sixty nine against the old
Johnny United. So you'd have to be to see that
Super Bowl. You would have to be over fifty, right,
you would have.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I saw that Super Bowl. I saw that Super Bowl,
absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
So everybody that's my age though, knows nothing, but.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Miss No, I understand. I do understand.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
They never saw. So I just I feel I feel
like Yankee fans that hate on us, I'm like, you
should have a little sympathy. We're absolutely horrible. The Mets
have found all different types of horrible ways to end seasons.
This is a perfect example this season. I kind of
root for Boston a little bit when they're playing the Yankees,
just to take them down a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
But you gotta have you. You had two guys, you know,
the Yankees had two guys from Massachusetts, a kid from
Cohassett and a kid from Walpole.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Well did you see that kid pitch tonight? That twenty
four year old kid pitching innings? Yeah, Schlittler, I mean
that was I mean, you know his dad.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
His dad is a police chief in Needham, Massachusetts, which
is a nice town on Route one. Twenty eight. He
pitched for Walt He wasn't he wasn't recruited heavily. He
pitched at Northeastern. The Northeastern coach is Tommy Glavin's brother,
Mike Glappan who played in the major leagues. Uh and uh.
(28:22):
He seems like a really great kid and someone who
you could root for. And again, if you knew Walpole,
it's a great town. The town up until now it
was best known for Joe Morgan, the old manager of
the Red Sox.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Uh, you know Bud boy, he's got to be on
top of the world tonight.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
And guess what you sound like a You sound like
a big baseball fan like I am.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
And I gotta be honest.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I see a guy go out there and do something
like that. I always look for the guy that can
do it when the when the spotlight is on. This
kid is twenty four years old and he went out
there and pitched against Boston in a one to one
series at home in front of the fans. You don't
have playoff experience, you're a rookie, and this guy went
out his first playoff game and shoots at eight in
(29:06):
and donut on the board.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
I mean you know.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That's he was pitching in Scranton early in the He
was at Scranton Wilkesbury early in the year, you know. So, yeah,
this is a great story. And the kid who was
pitching for the Red Sox tonight, who also is a
pretty impressive looking young guy, did two years at West
Point and then transferred to UVA uh and was pitching
double A baseball three months ago up in Portland.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
So both of these guys, Yeah, he's got you guys.
You guys get to not hear it anymore though. You see,
that's the thing about a Boston paint. You don't live
over here, you don't have to hear it anymore. We
have to hear it every single day from the Yankee
fans right now, like I'm gonna have to go to
work tomorrow and it's just gonna be just.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Sosa wasn't a great investment. Sosa seems to be a
guy who no matter where he was, you know, whether
he was with the Nationals, he wasn't happy.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
There wasn't a long list of bad investments they go
on for You could I could sing a song like
uh like we didn't start the fire with all the
different names that Billy Joel puts in the song, I
could sing a whole song.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Of investments from the New York Mets.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
We're famous for that week.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Had you had some look, you had some great, great years,
uh in the late sixties, when all of a sudden,
sever and Kuzman and Gentry and all those guys came up,
and sobot uh Brandpoole and and then you know, you
had you had the early seventies before before you were born.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
They then we had.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Then we had the crazy bunch of lunatics in eighty six,
the nut job baseball team that was really good and
probably could have done more than they did, and probably
could have done well in eighty eight and other years too.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
But by the way, you know who's a good guy
on that team? And you're gonna probably disagree with me.
I had Daryl Strawberry on one night a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Oh well, I would I disagree.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I love that man, great guy, great guy. Well, I'm
just saying, you know, you think of it as the
dark goodin Mets.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
You know, and uh yeah, like listen and him and
Cone and Strawberry and listen, you know who was not
a good guy on that team? Even though we had
the roof for him because they're playing well. Was Lenny Dykstra.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
But as far as like right, no, Dykes.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Just seemed like a guy, just seemed like a guy
that had a lot of fame and a lot of money,
and he just got caught up in some stuff, which
I know about because I'm sober for a long time.
I definitely have empathy for Strawberry.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Strawberry has straightened out as well. Hey, well, we could
talk baseball all night, okay, but I gotta I gotta
run for now because I'm up against it. And I
very much thank you for calling in tonight, my friend.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Thank you much better than fighting buddy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I'll talk to you later. All right, we got we
got uh three great calls coming up, and I got
two lines open at six, one, seven, four, ten thirty
back on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Right after this, You're on night Side with Dan Ray
on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
All right, back to the calls. We got Laurie Laurie
in Idaho, the biggest Red Sox fan west of the
Mississippi River.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
Hi, Laurie, Hawaii, I am joining the Red Sox Wake tonight.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Devastating, devastating, Oh really, tough.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
I actually, after yesterday's last I kind of felt I
just felt like the bubble had a little bit of
a prick in it and it was gonna. Yeah, I
mean I think that. I mean, the Socks plan was
for you know, they able to do better last night
and then and then tonight are fielding what the heck?
And the Yankees, I mean, they got these amazing, stupid,
(32:33):
obnoxious the good fielding situations going on.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I thought that that played that and I was watching
a little bit where the second basement went in the
hole got the ball and somehow got story the lead runner,
the shortstop Vulpie made a great catch and still was
able to make to tag the bag with his foot
and finish off the double play, and we.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Left balls that were dropping in front of the players.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Hello, yeah, yeah, oh sure, yeah, But I'm still.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
You're right here.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
I agree with few year Rady was the season turned
out much better than it looked at mid season, and
considering all the injuries, oh my gosh, the injuries.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So and also you got I mean, at some point,
this kid, Kristen Campbell is going to straighten himself out.
Marcello Meyer is going to be back. Roman Anthony is
going to be back Tristan's appeal.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
But you can understand without injury, you can't. You can't
swing a back.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
So oh yeah, I mean you could talk in football
about the next man up, next man up, because but
but baseball, those are skilled positions and you I mean
even like a Bray who was who has been the
shell of himself because he hasn't seen pitching for yeah, yep,
four or five weeks and then he didn't have a
great series.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
No, well none of them did did obviously, Well, the
first game was great, but when I lost the second one,
I thought, you know what this is. I think I
think everybody's thought was they was going to go longer
than he did. And when that didn't happen, it just
sort of shifted everything, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
They So Dan was who had a great season, great
defensive player and hits, you know, supplied some of the
most important the late inning, ninth inning hits. He was
over ten in the series.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
Yeah, I mean he picked a really bad time to
have a slump on yep.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, well it can happen, It can happen. But that
Yankee pitcher Tonight throwing.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
Ninety nine amazing didn't he set a playoff, didn't he
sun a record?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yo? Yeah, well he so. For somebody who went eight
innings and to be to throw a shutout for eight
innings and also to have twelve strikeouts unbelievable, but.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
He was.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
He was as good tonight as Crochet was on Monday night.
He was actually better tonight than Crochet. No, I'm serious.
I mean, you know, I still think Crochet is proven more.
This kid was four and three during the season. He's
got to come back and prove it. My boy, what
an upside this kid has. And Walpole, Massachusetts.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Feel bad for our kid. I mean he had no
fielding back up.

Okay, Well, anyway, I had to also maybe a nice
subject and not so nice. Uh one thing is the

with a theme about seniors and the cost of living
and the thread of lowering intra straits. And then they're
savings take as much money and uh, you know the
(35:58):
value of the dollar going down and the government one
strike or whatever.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Okay, well yeah, well you know, depending upon I mean,
I think the economy has been holding pretty strong. I mean,
all of these predictions of a few months ago have
you had to materialize. But when when that happens, we'll
we'll do it. We've had two or three shows on tariffs.
We've had the professor from Boston University who's who's one
of my favorite guests. So you got to listen to
(36:26):
us every night because if you miss what, you know,
we we we hit different different nights. We talked last night.
I don't know if you listened at nine last night
we talked about the cutbacks at research medical research universities
with the Chancellor at UMass medical doctor Collins. So I'll
(36:47):
bet you didn't listen to our nine o'clock hour last night.
You would have enjoyed it.
Speaker 9 (36:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna work for a late night person. I'd
perked up around now. But yeah, I did hear the
tariff ones that I even called in and I said,
you should rent a white horse and drive through Boston
with a horse. Yell, and the tarifs are coming. The
tarrors are coming right, but so far, so far they
haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
But Greg Stoller, who is our professor from BEU, great guy.
Will have him on soon, trust me, we will. I mean,
I'm not going to panic people here. You know, we
were going to talk tonight about the the government shutdown.

not looking to stir people up. I'm looking to help
(37:28):
people and let them know. You know, you so scurity
checks aren't gonna go away. You're gonna get your so
scurity check this month. That sort of stuff. So, but
thank you for that suggestion. I will take that seriously
and I appreciate it. I really do, Steve.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
Thanks to my other subject, much more pleasant.
Speaker 11 (37:45):
I just wanted to say is do you have any
memories of like nineteen sixties or seventies radio in Boston
with Annie Ginsburg and that sounded like such a fun time.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
I was around that time. I listen to all those guys.
But to be honest with you, I'm not going to
relive guys who are on other stations. I mean, Woo
Woo Ginsburg was a great, great guy, no doubt, no doubt.
But you know, I'm I'm looking forward to because I
want to get I want to get more young people
interested in radio. Guys like you and me are always
(38:19):
going to be as interested. We can do something like
that in some night. Maybe in a twentieth hour on
a Friday night, we'll do who was your favorite person
in radio? Larry Glick, you know, Woo Woog Ginsburg. A
lot of those guys. I got to get at least
one more in Steve. I'm gonna run, But thank you

I'd love to give you more time. You sound like
an interesting caller.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Let me get the geo. GEO you've called late. You
go right ahead, GEO.
Speaker 12 (38:45):
Love to hear open to draw today. Yep, in a
desk in the back bedroom, and in the draw was
I think his name was small. He was the Lowell
Spinner's general manager. Yes, do you know did you ever
meet the Lowell as general manager?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think the spinners. I threw the first pitch out there.
I think five years in a row. I don't know
that name, but.
Speaker 12 (39:08):
Okay, so anyway, I tommed a card and underneath his
card was the Pawtucket general manager named Ray my Son's son.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
My son, ye my son. He was the d was
Larry Latino's general manager.
Speaker 12 (39:23):
Protucket general manager Janet Wu said to me one night,
they Wu socks are named after me. Anyway, a good
program would be you interviewing your son. Because Breslow is
I see him as the Giolito. His contract allowed him
(39:46):
to take nineteen million or opt out, and there wasn't
anything so wrong with him.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
The two days after he pitched.
Speaker 12 (39:54):
They decided he wasn't pitching anymore. In other words, he's taking,
he's taking.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
He's the allright, Gell. I got to tell you there
were other calls, but I'm up against a call earlier.
How much time I got left?
Speaker 4 (40:07):

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Twenty seconds, Geo. That was not me cutting you off,
that was Rob. I want to thank everybody did call.
Wish you called earlier, folks to Tim and Winthrop, sorry others. Sorry,
all dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's
my pal Charlie Rays, who passed fifteen years ago in February.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
