Mike'd Up: The Mike Francesa Show
- Thread starter cheekydave
- Start date
"Let's be honest: so far for this season, he [Burnett] has been a brutal, brutal disappointment."
"Where was the pie last night? He could've hit himself in the face with a pie."
"The toughest we saw him was when he kicked over a water can in the dugout."

Details would be appreciated.
Killing Burnett, praising Beckett.
On AJ: "Where was the pie? It wasn't available? He couldn't hit himself in the face with that pie. His performance was an absolute disaster. Had no fight in him."
0-6 against the Sox, been badly beat up, "Yankees can do nothing right against the RS and the difference in the bullpen is startling."
"They outclass the Yankees every time they take the fieldd against them."
How the Yankees are built doesn't help in a well pitched game.

"Right now, where the Yankees are better doesn't help in well-pitched games. They have a deeper lineup. That's it."
Mike's tone isn't as pissed off as he was the last time the Sox swept, this is more of a clinical examination.
"The Yankees barely hold their own against good teams."
"You can say, 'Get em in August.' Fine. Before it was, 'Get em in June,' now it's, 'Get em in August.'"
"You can say, 'Get em in August.' Fine. Before it was, 'Get em in June,' now it's, 'Get em in August.'"
"I can get into how Burnett's stealing millions of dollars, but what's the point? We all know it."
Killing Girardi for reorganizing the rotation and then backtracking on it.

"He [Burnett] came here to beat the Red Sox, and he made the Yankees look bad a bunch of times. That's his claim to fame."
In response to Burnett saying after the game that he couldn't find the plate:
"I've seen you throw the ball over the plate against the Phillies. You couldn't find them, they were hit so hard."
"I've seen you throw the ball over the plate against the Phillies. You couldn't find them, they were hit so hard."
Now, he's getting fired up...
The RS are eating the Yankees lunch every time they play.
Here's how you keep score- 2 Chips for the RS, NONE for the Yanks in the last 5 years.

Beckett sensational, bullpen equally impressive. Not much you can do.
Burnett utter disaster, been a brutal disappointment. No other way to categorize it. Downright bad last night. Where was the pie last night?
Can't make the point that the Y's can stand toe-to-toe with the Sox.
Difference in bullpen is startling. How about Bard? Or Bowden, Jones, Masterson, Buchholz?
It is not about Burnett, it is about the structure of the team.
Wang could not be in a tougher position. Has to go 5 or 6, and still the Y's have to get 9-12 outs out of that bullpen.
Sox have to feel enormous confidence. Don't say it's not impressive.
Y's barely hold their own against good teams.
Odds of Y's winning next two are not great. Tonight will be battle of the bullpens.
I can sit here and destroy Burnett, that he is stealing millions, said stupid things last night. Girardi wanted AJ against the Sox and then blamed it on too much rest. Don't make it easy for Burnett to get out of it.
Beckett embarrassed Burnett. Why create an excuse for him? Joe: "hard to pitch on 7 days, can't have expectations for command" Why would you create that situation if that was true?
Red Sox are embarassing the Y's. They have been better for 5 years. Here's how you keep score: Sox 2 WS, Y's 0.
Selective perspective from Joe.

"Six wins for the Red Sox, none for the Yankees. Picture's pretty clear."
Slow burn today. Outstanding stuff.

"It took the Red Sox forever ... FOREVER ... to beat the Yankees in a big spot. Even when Pedro took that lead out into Yankee Stadium that night, they always expected another rally from the Yankees. And it all changed in '04. And I don't care that the Yankees went up there in August and spanked them on one weekend. But that went nowhere. The Red Sox got championships. That's how you keep score. Since '04, the fortunes of these teams have changed."
Mike sounds legitimately depressed right now.

"The idea that it doesn't matter ... let me know when it matters. When it reaches 7, does it matter? Or 8? Or 12. Just let me know when it matters."
Callers now.

I'm guesssing FFF won't be any happier today.
I suspect the subjects will be Hughes v Wang in the rotation
and CC's start tonight and his raison d'etre

Undoubtedly, he will crap repeatedly on those whose post-game theme was "the Yankees showed good fight in making it a close game," as was the mantra on YES.
I'm pretty sure he said that he thought the Sox would win last night, so he probably won't be any more worked up.
OTOH, the calls should be entertaining.

Just started....he's got 3 points to make and 1st up is Girardi. Killing his pitching rotation decisions.
EDIT: Next up is the bullpen.
EDIT: Next up is the bullpen.
Even though it ultimately amounted to nothing- Girardi's decision to pinch run for ARod in the 9th down one on the road was odd. The only thing I could think at the time was that Rodriguez' hip's been a little sore and he wouldn't be very quick.
I haven't seen much of him this year- has he been slower as a result of the hip? Otherwise, that was a monumentally dumb decision, trying to trade up a tiny bit on speed in a game that easily could have gone extras.

"The Red Sox continue to make plays that the Yankees never do." Referring to Pedroia's backup on the bad throw to 2nd on the steal.
"They do whatever it takes to win the ballgame."

I can't stand listening to him pronounce Papelbon
Pap-a-bomb
Bard is worse...."Bahhhwd."

He invoked the name of Hunter Jones!
Not once but like 3 times.

I think he forgets the time the Yankees scored 4 on Oki, but I'll take the praise. He's definitely been "40 million times better than (igawa)"
So his 3 main points are...
1. Girardi sucks & so do Wang & Burnett.
2. Sox pen is great, much better than the Yanks.
3. Sox make winning plays that the Yanks don't.

If Sabathia shits the bed tonight, Mike will win an Emmy tomorrow.
:lol:
God I wish Russo was there. He'd be in full RS uniform, waving Sox flags by now.

He just killed AJ. HILARIOUS.
"AJ can't get guys out but he can throw a hell of a pie. He can bake em and he can throw em. A great Yankee tradition that should carry them"
There is no one on 'EEI who comes remotely close to this level of epic funny, not on their best days.
Thank you all for the pbp.
Can I still stream him through 'FAN as I once did when he was paired with Russo?

That's nothing compared to the 25 references last time they played at Fenway. I've never seen a AAA filler type get so much air time.

Absolutely. If you have Itunes, you can just click on the radio icon and find WFAN under "Sports Radio".
I listened to Russo yesterday. He had some funny lines about the lack of phone calls he gets on satellite.
Edit: Did he just call Sabathia "C.C Rider"?

Yup. On the FAN website and on iTunes.
EDIT: Just checked the iTunes list and WEEI was added. Apple must have added it in the last few days.
