red sox suck all the time. oh, my god. is that bad no! no, we never we don t say that word you don t we re great. okay. i m sorry. we re great we are the best .500 team in baseball right now duran, 2 for 4 yesterday i m sorry, i m excited about this red sox team. yes, they re mediocre, but then again, they speak to those of us i was trying to participate. who walk through life mediocre. trying to get by, 81-81, joe. by the way okay. that s something. i ll take it. it is. usually, willie, the beginning of the next season, they go, now your 2018 world champions. they scroll it down. they re going to take what lemire just said, and they re going to scroll it next year, 81-81. just trying to get by. there s a nice symmetry to that by the way, with our two teams at the bottom of the a.l. east, it takes a lot of pressure off the season we can go enjoy it
to wind this down, again, maybe temporarily, not permanently, i think people would be better off. if not, it s a way to go to sa to hp republican in the house o those in europe to say, we put a decent proposal on the table it took one side to start the war, russia, but it takes two sides to make peace. ukraine is willing russia is not. we have to, therefore, continue our support for ukraine. i don t see this as a big risk for, you know, ukraine, if we go down this path. a lot to think about as richard haass calls for a new strategy for the west in ukraine. richard, the a.l. east needs a new strategy for the tampa bay rays 13-0 so far this season. what are we going to do? well, they re not 162-0 at the end of the season, willie. i think it is just be patient, hang in there. unbelievable even before that, willie, tomorrow night, the knicks
i will say to you, willie, what we say every year, it is a long, long season. i ve had friends that have been thrilled about their, you know, win streaks in april, may, june, july i remember the braves started out 13-0 back in 1981, and we said, they re going to go all the way! well, they almost didn t get almost didn t get past the dodgers. in fact, i don t think they got past the dodgers so, it s a long season the rays are a great team. we ve talked about that before i think the real we ll see what happens halfway through the summer i think we re all playing, as larry bird famously said in the all-star game, i do think in the a.l. east at least, we re all playing for second place you know what they call ashford castle over there, tropicana field east it s taken over by rays fans. exactly. they re in there watching the
opening up the postseason against cleveland. yeah. keep your eye on that the closest series, probably, of this round we enter with some hope we have a pretty good team this year joe, i don t know if you ve been monitoring over there in county mayo or if there is buzz about the a.l. east there at ashford castle, by, my gosh, rays beat the red sox last night, 13-0 they re even with the 82 braves and the 87 brewers for the hottest start since before 1900. you have to go back to the 1880s to find a start better than this. willie, you walk through ashford castle, and you ll see the flags of the families who have owned ashford castle since the 13th century and, of course, a boston red sox fan. yes, there was a red sox flag, which they tore down last night. they ve given up hope here no, i m actually over here looking for an irish rugby team to follow. because the red sox have just it s been a brutal start
meanwhile this comes appropriately enough on opening day. major league baseball is back. for the first time since 1968 all 30 teams will play their first games on the same day. a year of change. baseball s new pitch clock will be live during the opening day s slate that includes contests at dodger stadium, fenway park, and yankee stadium. aaron judge chasing his own a.l. home run record and shohei ohtani. the new 162 regular-game season begins tonight. theo epstein will join us later to talk all about it. time for the weather. angie, more severe weather out there. it s a busy day as you just said. we have something to watch particularly in center of the country. impacting california over last
