i gave a speech in boston on monday and i said that -- i said in boston that the economy was in a david ortiz-like slump. but that i had faith that our economy and david ortiz would be hitting home runs gun. now, unfortunately, the "boston globe" ran a little editorial questioning my judgment and linking david ortiz's ability and the economy. last night david ortiz hit a home run. today and yesterday we received all this new positive commentary about the american economy. i'm not saying it's directly related to my speech on monday. [laughter] >> however, i do believe that and i thank you for pointing this out that my comments were accurate. so please continue and we'll add back your time onto your statement. >> i'll see if i can remember the original question.

nothing we brew is as versatile with food as boston lager. the sam adams lager goes beautifully with a lot of ethnic spicy foods. the maltiness and hoppiness work well with indian food. samuel adams boston lager is strong enough to support a heavier meal and it's balanced enough that's it's not going to overpower a lighter meal it could compliment a salmon dish with a little bit of spice to it. whether at a restaurant you're at home if you're having great food and you need a great beer, boston lager is the beer that i use. sam adams with great food-- there's nothing better. >>> 4-2, the nationals fall to the florida marlins down in florida. what do you think manny acta said to julian tavarez when he went out there on the mound in the 8th inning to take him out of the ballgame. here's what he said. >> i just told him that keep his delivery simple and stop doing any extra stuff with his legs and stop trying to pull that stuff and just keep his delivery simple so he can throw strikes. but it didn't work. >> and really surprised, ray, because one

the nats coming off a heck of a win against the boston red sox 9-3 while the orioles got racked pretty good down there in florida. they got swept by the marlins and yesterday got pounded pretty good 11-3. >> the orioles have done a little like us. they haven't scored runs over consistent periods of time, johnny. we exploded last night and we're going to go to the tape and show that. we were able to get four hits, four runs, a base on ball, just line drives all over the ballpark. willingham, the base hit. zimmerman that got hit by a pitch by johnson, but he is in the lineup tonight and bards, a clutch base hit to right field and then arthur andersen hernandez ends up with a two- run single to left center field scoring two more runs. four big runs to give jordan zimmermann something to work with and we were never ahead as the offense was able to tack on in three other innings and get clutch base hits all night long and willie harris, the big home run after bard doubled in the seventh inning to put the ballgame away. >> you know the nationals 5-4, ray, and that run against the blue jays,

my own, two shows, and then i'm about to pick up an affiliate in boston, and the boston affiliate doesn't have for whatever reason a person doing afternoon drive tomorrow so they said to me, would you mind doing an extra two hours live only from boston as a mean of introducing yourself? i said i would do it. what the hell. at that point i will only be in for 35 hours of radio. two columns. three tv appearances and three book signings, so why not two more hours. about four a night. but then i can -- then it will go back to the normal routine of just two shows a day. tomorrow will be insane. >> what's you view of -- >> i get a kick out of him. i don't buy into the consecutive craziness about him. they're going to great lengths to try to tar and feather the guy. i don't know anything about the relationships he has with the contractors that are written about him. i'm just not conversantes about those issues. i have read a lot of stories, from pennsylvania but he is good copy. he is good copy for somebody like me who is a talk show host primarily. >> too people care? >> well, they care if they

new york now 2-9 against boston and tampa, this year. meanwhile, the rays 10-6 against the yanks and sox this year, three games under .500 against everybody else. >> the rangers have their eyes set on a second straight win over boston but jon lester had other ideas -- pitching an absolute gem. ask ian kinsler and michael young, for that matter, and how about andruw jones. lester struck out 11 batters. he was perfect through four innings. more on him in a moment. bottom of the ninth. big papi. second home run of the year. his first homer since may 20. red sox go up 5-0. now top of the seventh, lester still with a perfect game but michael young says, "here is what i think of that perfect game." broke it up. was the only ranger with a hit. red sox end up winning it 8-1. lester, now, 19-4 at fenway park during his career. the best home win percentage among active pitchers with at least 15 career home starts. >> mets -- they couldn't get out of their own way vs. the nats. top four, 3-1, emil brown at the plate against castillo, elijah duke ca

the most recent guy who said that to me was just yesterday the starting tonight for the boston red sox. he went through this himself. he was one of those people himself and sees that we are so much closer than our standing today would suggest. that is what gives me even more encouragement. i feel pretty good about the way things are going myself. but to hear people and willie -- i really respect, makes me more encouraged. that is where i think the team is going and how far we have progressed. let me talk about the -- this is something i'm very proud of. you remember three years ago we are playing at the rfk -- many of you loved it for your own emotional ties. it clearly was not what autumn -- what modern-day customers want or expect. the process was in place to design and build the stadium. as i travel around the country to all the new stadiums, our stadium is as fine a stadium as there is anywhere in baseball. it is more beautiful than virtually any city might can think of. it has the ease of access. the sidelines are spectacular. more and more people recognize that. you are going to

above theever boston was look to go shore up their starting rotation and they were able to get josh beckett away from the florida marlins and the marlins insisted they take mike luol. i'm sure the red sox all knees -- mike lowell. i'm sure the red sox all these years later were blad they -- glad they did. hanley ramirez hanley ramirez was their top prospal tekt and -- prospect and came to florida and he rips one down to second base for a double. down in the count and he's still able to extend the arms and pull -- pull it for a one- out double. >> buck: again, they are able to sit back and look breaking ball. there's the step. keeps his hands back. really drills it down the left- field line. melvin mora dives. timed it perfectly. it's just beyond his reach. hanley ramirez is having some series. >> jim: two hits tonight. he has a double, a single and an rbi. jorge cantu. aggressive swing. he fouled it back. >> buck: when you think of that trade that involved hanley ramirez, it was a pretty, aggressive trade for both teams. ramirez came down here with anibal -- anibal sanchez and garcia. he wa

i quote a sentence and we will place in the record from bloomberg news things when it first boston was largely the result of the creative work with mortgage-backed securities slicing and pulling mortgages and selling them as bonds and he took the concept to freddie mac where he sold the company's board on a billion dollar package. that was just the beginning. german bernanke what material can you provide the committee into the record that will explain how the fed will avoid conflicts of interest in self dealing by that firm and besio in the execution of contracts you have signed with black rock? >> we will provide you with the contracts explaining how it works. >> thank you. some lawyers have said rod or control fraud have characterized the mortgage securitization process. will you permit the fbi access to the mortgage instruments being managed by black rod as the fed contracts are executed and fulfill? >> if there is a reason for the fbi to investigate and the fbi has a right to investigate we wouldn't stand a way of an appropriate investigation. >> um contracts has the fed assigned t

they love bay in boston. >> bob: well, he is at times more lovable. kemp against -- camp against zimmerman. ryan hits the ball hard but right at the centerfielder, vernon wells. we go to the top of the 9th inning. it's going to be another one of those kinds of games. 3-3. we build fish finders. we build battery chargers. we build base camps. we build transporters. we build sanctuaries. we build the technologically advanced jeep grand cherokee. come see what we've built for you. . >> bob: bottom of the order  for the blue jays, top of the 9th in a 3-3 game. they have outhit the nats 9-8. it's always nice to know that our fans are paying attention on what's going on in other parks. what do you think about peter's question from mac lean? >> rob: i don't think it would fit the evolution of the young staff that we have here but in boston, the reason why they thought about going to a six- man rotation is because they brought in smoltz, brought in penny and figured one of those guys comes back, it's good. but daisuke matsuzaka has been so bad they're goi

not many tickets left for the boston series. we'll try to give you an update on that over the weekend. now beimel has worked the count to 3-2 or should i say adam lind has worked it.  road jersey, souv.  >> bob: a little po will be easy for zimmerman. joe beimel wins that battle. two outs. that ball is never where it was when you started your swing when you're facing him, right? >> rob: no, he throws across his body very deceptive young man and challenged him with a fastball that rode back and in and up on lind, jammed him. serious jamming. >> bob: bases empty, two outs, alex rios. he hit the double down the right-field line to set the blue jays up in the eighth before joel hanrahan shut the door on him. there's a strike on the corner. a double came against villone villone. orioles won their game at philadelphia tonight 7-2. yankees won in florida 5-1. and the mets held on to beat tampa bay at citi field 50-3. mets will be only two games ba

what can you tell us about boston swapping players around? >> that's the surprising thing. detroit did not consider that trade at all, but the issue that boston is shopping a rajon rob doe is the big story. it boils down to he's been headache for coach doc rivers. he's very hard to coach, and he's got some attitude problems. and the celtics feel like if this guy has some attitude problems right now when he's not highly paid, when we still have three superstars, what is he going to be like if we pay him big money? and, you know, he's an all-star. so they're trying to move him right now, and it tells you how bad the problem is because they're coming off winning a championship with this this guy as a young point guard two years ago, and then he played tremendously in the playoffs, so the fact that they're willing to move him now, that just shows you how bad the problem is. >> now, the celtics, they hold only one selection in thursday's nba draft, the 28th pick in the second round. do you see them making a deal to move up? >> well, they're trying, and there are several teams th

host: on the nuclear issue here is a story in "the boston globe" about uranium. obama seeks a global uranium fuel bank. the plan would counter runs withiiran's weapon quest. it is part of a strategy to stop iran from obtaining nuclear weapons -- president obama plans to seek the creation of the first-ever international supply of uranium that would allow patients to obtain fuel for civilian nuclear reactors to limit the capacity to make bombs. "the new york times" has a story about "the boston globe" and their efforts to stay afloat. members of labor unions -- months of labor acrimony at the paper will come to a head today when members of the newspapers' largest union are to vote on deep cuts in wages, benefits and job security. if employees rejected it will cut their pay 23%. the union has vowed to challenge a unilateral reduction with federal regulators though it may not be able to block one from taking effect. that raises the prospect of continued conflict with the globe's owner "the new york times." caller: i am an old veteran from the korean war. i remember s

last time out he allowed 8 hits, 4 runs in a loss to boston. otherwise, his e.r.a. is 2.38 on the season. ross detwiler, last time up, pitched well, until the 6th inning. he didn't have command of his fastball. he is pinning better at home this year. >> johnny: and bret cecil was scheduled to go against baltimore a couple of weeks ago and he had about 100 relatives coming to the ballgame. i imagine he will have the same kind of support here. but the five homeruns that he gave up against the boston red sox, that tied a blue jay record. >> phil: they will see pitches over the plate from the left hander from dunkirk, maryland. >> johnny: and ross detwiler trying to get his first win. >> phil: remember, stammen just got his first. >> johnny: is there a trend? >> phil: well, could be. could be into let's take a look at what the starters have done for this ball club. jordan zimmerman had that strikeout pitch going and he was on fire against the jays. >> phil: jordan threw a lot of pitches last night. he struck out adam lind and then his opponent, brian tallet. he was shar

he is a genius manager of the boston red sox. we were talking and i told him i remember when he was a dance as the manager of the phillies. i told him -- he said that he is still a dunce, he just has better players. >> it is so true. i have a always continue to support many. i cannot predict whether it is going to work. he has the potential to be a long-term manager here and that is my hope. >> your first round pick in the draft has been called the one, the savior of the nationals. >> mostly by his agent. >>[applause] >> less dramatically, his agent is well aware of this. the largest contract ever given to an amateur player was 10.5 million with the cubs. now people are throwing around numbers for strasbourg. our negotiations going? obviously, i never negotiate with the press. i will talk about steve. one of the really cool things, and this is something that i discussed. one of the cool things about the rotation that we're putting together is the four rookies and a 24 year-old. they are developing the same kind of atmosphere that

during the first winter of the war when boston was a deceased by washington's army, the revolutionary war, revolutionary army, continental army got along very well. they were well fed and well housed, and it was the british who suffered the most during that harsh boston winter. the british to get here had to make an atlantic crossing, and one of the british soldiers wrote in his journal of the crossing which sounds like a horrid crossing, that he experienced it was continued distraction in the four tops, the pox above board, the plague below deck, the hell at the fore castle, and the devil at the helm. a british soldier who was sent to south carolina to campaign, to take charleston in 1780 was landed with the british army about 20 miles below charleston, and had to move through swamps and marshes areas. and you can almost feel this grim, white faced british soldier as he writes in his journal about seeing crocodiles 16 feet long, as he put it, wools in several species of venomous snakes. the revolutionary war was not just a revolutionary war, but it was also a civil war within a civil

texas almost shut them out late in the ballgame before boston got a run. texas beat them 5-1. toronto got a nice win 9-3 over kansas city. fouled away. orioles started 8 games out. >> buck: texas will maintain their 3 1-2 games lead over the angels of anaheim as they beat detroit 2-1 in a very well pitched game, santana against verlander. i. >> gary: way outside. the yanks will move into first place in light of the red sox's loss. they have identical record, 32- 22, starting today. boston with a four-game win streak and yankees have been rained out. 3 balls 2 strikes count. toronto with a victory today. here is the 3-2 delivery and that will be fouled away again. >> buck: seattle and minnesota, a pitcher's duel there. in the 7th inning, it's 1-1. franciscolyliriano against felix hernandez. obviously this day was scheduled for number 1 starters. as cc sabathia was scheduled to go for the yankees. >> gary: teams on june 1 that are in first place since division play started, 66% of them go on to the post-season. 66% of teams in playoff positions. swung on and missed and so gonzal

boston strands 2 and texas holds on to win. kevin millwood was solid. >>> toronto, lyle overbay, a homerun off zach greinke, the first homerun that greinke has allowed. and overpay again pulls this one over the head. that made it a 6-0 game and the blue jays go on to win it by a final of 9-3. greinke suffers the loss. he goes just five innings, clearly his poorest outing of the year. rangers over 0 the red sox by a final of 5-1. elsewhere in the american league, the angels in detroit and a 2-1 final as ervin santana goes 8 2/3 to get the swing. justin verlander, 8 innings, no runs on 4 hits. the angels win it. carl pavano goes the distance on the shutout, three hitters as the indians beat the white sox 3-0. yankees rained out in new york.
