" Boston is a baseball crazy town. Fans wait outside the team hotel every day for autographs from visiting players. And even coaches. Michael young and Ian Kinsler appreciate fashion. But on this day they also appreciate the fact that there's a car waiting. You whisk them at Fenway Park. A car driven by yours truly."

" Sorry trying to impress a camera -- across the music or doesn't do. There is -- as it is going to here."

" I thought it would give him in the right mindset for baseball. But this time of year with the Lakers in the finals. Michael's mind always wanders to basketball. I -- the good thing about this opens. W doesn't deserve where he's -- watched game one of the NBA finals together the night we arrived in Boston. Davis made seven."

" Really struck again."

" Weathers made recognized him or not Mike it was a great Lakers fan. Was bad memories of last year when the Celtics beat LA hitter -- all of that storied rivalry. -- rivalry almost as good as the one that plays out here in Boston. And in New York every year. The Red Sox and Yankees."

" I think rivalries are more for the fans but. -- the fun part for the players that. The fans -- so intense when those two teams meet."

" That describes the Sox and the Yankees and their fans. All of whom we've seen on this trip."

" We don't need the media don't pump this up it's what there's a lot of good players on both teams a lot of good baseball what happens on the periphery sometimes gives the manager -- On both sides of the games are really good."

" But so are the stories of the legends. And the antics. Like the construction worker who helped build the new Yankee Stadium and buried a David Ortiz Jersey. His coworkers ratted him out and he was forced to dig it up. For some reason they decided never to fix the holes so I thought. -- to the Rangers play yeah."

" I'm talking about this little thing he's still it's. Gas. -- it with -- everything that -- I don't know I guess added that it for the robbery -- you have to -- the you know keep having fun I saw when they were building -- stadium you know that they had in Jersey down there. Delaware wasn't that didn't so that's been covered -- we didn't do anything. That was. There you know it's pretty cool 300 as a you hear anything closes the third big enough. It's. -- Jack Kennedy left with the passing -- finally got good."

" It is allegedly a scorecard from the 2004 American League Championship Series buried somewhere. Under this beautiful new parks."

" I think people outside of New York from Boston -- it's -- to hear about it grunting like we're on TV. A lot and the games last forever. But it's his authentic and intense as anything I've ever seen or more -- in Birmingham. In double play when it Auburn Alabama and I know there are some great rivalries but this is going to be right of the."

" He's right but that to our car ride to Fenway. -- you still have a long walk through the old stadium. Even after you're dropped off."

" Do you realize how important. --"

" The truth is they usually talk about baseball. Like the fact that in the next series they miss facing cy young candidate. Roy Halladay. --"

" Had a -- that we were. We're in their four game win. Tournament."

" Finally they have reached their destination. The visitors clubhouse at Fenway Park. Mr. Actually that's not a -- it's just the beginning. It's time for baseball."

I'll talk about first timlin -- the biggest case of all the arbitration eligible players in 2010. The setup though in 2008 when Ryan Howard . That gave the Philadelphia Phillies . And 110 million dollar arbitration victory the biggest victory in history of arbitration . For first time eligible player. Tim Lincecum is soon gonna break that record once he goes into the boardroom what the club estimated they limited number of eight million dollars. The players -- number of thirteen million dollars. Now the arbitration panel of three when they're done here in the case we'll have to either pick eight million or thirteen million they can't pick a number in between. But it Ryan Howard . He went and it is award with -- MVP and a rookie of the year award. And he got ten million. Tim Lincecum is gonna walk into the room with two Cy Young awards. Our record of 4217. You walk is -- to award a record of 4217. I think he's gonna get paid more than Ryan Howard hit the San Francisco Giants are forced to walk into the arbitration room they have three alternatives. The first one is to settle the case in the Rome. If they can get a deal
we think he should be the highest paid pitcher ever -- arbitration . We agree this guys want to -- down so we agree his record of forty and seventeen is amazing. It's 676. Strikeouts as a star but then make it an industry case and try to argue the fact. That eight million dollars a year will be more than an. Any pictures ever made history of baseball the first time eligible and that that numbers more appropriate than another record which would be thirteen million dollars. A look at the arbitration records over the last five years the owners have won seventeen case that the players have won ten. Does that mean the clubs have won. No it doesn't the players have actually won because every year they win that one case. That changes the entire market for the next class the following year so even this year they lose all cases if they win the Tim Lincecum case. They really well one of arbitration . Because the bar will look instead at a new level for all future arbitration cases. -- the history of salary arbitration . It started in 1974. When Reggie Jackson broke the record in arbitration waited about a 135000. Dollars. Then in 2008 Ryan Howard get the ten million dollars award and in 2010. Might call that Tim Lincecum gonna win his case. At thirteen million dollars so we've gone from a 13501974. To thirteen million in 2010. That's arbitration process has worked for the players.
