" However what I'm Randy Sparage yeah we're talkin' baseball please join by the skipper Kevin Kennedy had to skip I'm doing great. I know someone who's not doing great beat two big pop in Boston have -- horrendous season this is you gotta wonder how long the Red Sox can keep him in the lineup."

" Well you know Terry Francona out of recently in Seattle for a weekend in the you know back home. Pick their spots to have him here and there what they're doing right now they move him down a spot and I hope they keep their for a lot of for J. D. Drew in the three spot against right handers. And I think they're going to do that -- myself take a little pressure off the big poppy. -- I don't either bat speed there you know but people say well he's not -- for the right pitch the and that when he has given us -- and had squirted up. I've seen balls that he scored a pretty well hit hard to center fielder right field. That I knowing you're passing on the ball park I just think the wings does the bats he's not quite there. Now I thought the move -- to do ironically in Mo Mo has some advice warming which is that he could talk that David Ortiz. And could you Momo someone left handed hitting that went the other way any one of the big things is when your slump like this in the pressure put on it. You know he's our TVs look for one pitches look at for ball and I that he could turn on him out of the ballpark. If you gotta look at our speed early -- I look at the way early look at for breaking balls early into -- pepper and a monster Russia when you're at Fenway Park. And you know pop he's done that a couple of times but it really hasn't you know it hasn't really hit that monster over the monster like he has in years past. -- people that do not know Manny Ramirez behind I don't think -- that I like Manny behind them the president has much different. But I think it's more about his swing right now little bit long I think he's he's a little bit and sort of for the ball and consequently when he opened up too soon to linger long. I think that the opposition all the opposition's recognized. And the combination of having to hit in Fenway of people talking about it. You're seeing it every night on the news that doesn't help either so. I think Terry Francona is going to -- they put him in a spot but this continues another few weeks leading up to the All-Star break. I mean you get there is are they -- about what what do we do for the second half the season because he can't go on all these."

" Along he's obviously pressing -- Tampa Bay Rays are looking like a mash unit these days last week pitchers Scott Kazmir toward personal when on the DL. About second baseman Akinori you -- your. Out for the season with a knee injury public blows that huge."

" This guy is a fabulous second -- him up close and personal -- you don't get it you know -- do your time you don't realize how good this guy has -- when you see a game on TV until you watch him in person. This guy has tremendous rain right lefty to turns a double play as well as anybody I've seen. It in baseball right now and he got -- on a slide that was questionable. -- quite get out of the way and now he was in side of toward the infield side at second base trying to turn a double play in a blowout game. Young kid took them out that his right I was able to -- the back so. I mean of all people the rays wouldn't complain about them if they play hard to and that they're solid game. Hockey just didn't get out weigh about one and the question to me do you know earlier today it was. Was it because he played third base in Japan is merely a third baseman in the -- has got to play second I've watched him he's he's fabulous who knows how to get on the way you know going to turn a double play. Wherever the ball is not about that too. It was a play -- a blog game I think you kind of thought and did not -- not communicate when -- to break up the double play. In a blowout win for the race that cost and so what what are their answers. They had Adam Kennedy there but they let him go because there was a need Mark Ellis went down the Oakland days and all he's done as it over 400 since he's come back up the big leagues. He was in camp with Joe Maddon as a favor because he was a free agent released by the Cardinals. And I guess what M Kennedy have been perfect for the Tampa Bay Rays but they're going to have to mix and match right now I've bar Willie -- placed on the -- but bends over to place them there. They are ironically another guy got hurt right before it was noted that. It's on the DL Jason Bartlett whose lead the league in hitting right now fact real popular established -- live -- to -- guys up the middle. And what the -- they call -- Joe Dillon. Who they traded. From the Oakland a's. They had a really Adam Kennedy my right so now he's up in the big leagues but Reed Brady -- got a young guys they can try. Right now there -- real issues with the race but they're very resilient group I gotta say that they're very confident group they're very athletic group. And they believe in their young players and I think the good news is David prices up and they've been waiting for that. And he stood ready to do give the Indians whose first two batters against second and third nobody out -- doesn't strike out the side in order after that. And they're going to bring him along slowly -- pitch count. But I think the good news is that they've got -- good young -- on the horizon. Let's talk about those Detroit Tigers are on top of the -- central. How far -- this team. Far because it Berliner number one's arm slot is better this year than a year ago he's up on top again. Curve balls dropping off the two was pound the strike zone strike and everybody out in May and it's a bit unbelievable respect got a man and a half. Per inning he's dominant Edwin Jackson ironically from the race. As an ERA in the -- unbelievable limited Tigers are leaving the baseball as far as earned run average and fielding fantastic get a pit in deepens going. They've always been able nearly left over here years Cabrera is doing his job he's been fantastic. Ordonez and unfortunately you know went home to Venezuela it. Care for his why Brazil but -- he has gotten contract yet. So I mean they're that they're on all owners really for the most part a little bit at the office and I think they're not going away I think the pitching will hold up or fellows been a nice story. The bullpen has been better. So -- in it to him ballclub this year and don't forget about Brandon into volleys players' positions playing third base and he's got about -- pudge Rodriguez was there. That are still -- when I granderson was out. Catcher went off propose a little bit third mean now he's worries should be and because of all that they lit up by the deepens all the way around which is really important for the Tigers."

" Skip as always we appreciate your time. Before that you go don't. We know is a very special day a very very special day. I'll it's a birthday one with -- candidate Dennis Brad updates you with -- they accomplish it that they could very well thank you very much I want to nine tonight Torre again that you know one more time they can remember many many more Aaron I -- Lamar baseball videos you've blog on the fox -- with a one spot.
