Just What The Dentist Ordered
(for the morning after elimination)


9.5.02: Rough cut from Thursday's 'Executive Report' on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan Show with. John Dennis (JD) and Gerry Callahan (GC).  Lucky had a "flight" (to owner's meeting) and couldn't come on his weekly gig, so I present to you Dr. Charles Steinberg (CS), VP Public Affairs, aka The Dentite with John Dennis (JD) and Gerry Callahan (GC):

CS: Always heard the town and media had capacity to be this way (negative) now learning first hand... you don't believe that the team is playing championship caliber, don't believe you should give your heart... intangibly, go through club looking for the answer, there is no tangible answer, do they have cohesiveness, tenacity that they still have a Sept. left... but your eulogy this morning would lead us to believe otherwise.

JD: You brought in bullets to make run, aren't you upset?

CS: Last week and a half tumultuous, heartbreak Saturday, good win Monday, don't know what to believe... had two tough losses to Yanks, then Cleveland... you know after winning three or four they say, they're resurgent... Is there a spirit that come hell or high water we're gonna do what it takes to win.

GC: But you have to go 20-5 if Anaheim goes like .500...

CS: Right, right... well you want to have that "dogged," never say die attitude, gritty fight to the finish...

GC: We see that in Oakland...

CS: Well my favorite loss of the year was the Long catch when we played against Oakland, the kind of game where you say 'gosh you just got beat by a good team' but when you make errors, or question guys' head being in the game, that's when...

GC: Where is Larry? Ducking us?

CS: he's right where you want him to be, on a plane (JD: hiring a new manager?... CS: haaa no Grady's terrific) no, Larry's on a plane going to owner's meeting to speak up on our behalf.

GC: Does he curse the day DanDuquette signed Phony Clark? Guys fighting for the Union except he can't play on field where your paying him? It must drive Lucchino crazy.

CS: Let's define two things that define LL. One is winning. The other is being aggressive. No hard feelings about the talent assembled here, so much this season that's being really, really great... point of anxiety, saying 'we're this good, got to be better'... bear down the jets, go beyond the capacity of what you want to do... you're talking about mental where their head, spirit, unity is .. that is what drives Larry forward, might say crazy, that's what Grady knows has to get done in September. (editor's note: he said it, sounded like old Duke radio appearances with a spiritual overtone)

The New Concourse...

CS: You can enter on the Van Ness side, any of gates, 1/2 hour early to batting practice wish your best to the players... (what time beer/) Luis Tiant there with new Cuban food. Gates 5:05, thousand tickets still available... concourse: Open Air version of the concourse...haa (leak in bushes) for those more civilized, new restroom for women and families, one specifically designed for disabilities... (women pee in troughs?) Will call still Gate A, (can you sneak in? through the bowling alley).. I think that reflects your approach Gerry...

CS: Just keep the faith, there's a lot of baseball left!

GC: Will you be able to see Rey's Bentley from the new concourse?

All: Haaaa haaaa haaaa....
