Mike, I just need to ask you a couple of
questions about May 20th.
FRANCESA
Shoot.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
On the afternoon of the 20th, you were
contacted by a caller who said that
the Rays were in first place.
FRANCESA
Yes.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
And the caller predicted that the Rays were
going to win the AL East. Am I
getting this right?
FRANCESA
Yes.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
If you feel there are any details that I'm
missing, you should free to speak up.
FRANCESA
Thank you.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
Now it was at this point that you told Sal Licata to cut him off?
FRANCESA
Yes.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
And what happened then?
FRANCESA
We agreed that we shouldn’t talk about the Rays until
September.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
The Rays were not to be discussed until September, not August?
FRANCESA
On the first day in September. 1:06 in the afternoon.
Four weeks too late as it will turn out.
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME flustered on the phone
FIRST TIME, LONG TIME
Alright, that's all I have. Thanks very
much for your time.

Gman..you couldn't have scripted a better ending for me?
I was going to have you ask for a copy of the transcript from that day's show, but I would have had to go through a lot to get there.
He'll cut you off waaaayyy before you get to that whole September vs. August debate.
LOL now he's basically blaming the entire Yankee season on Melky Cabrera...
Now he's blaming it on Cano, saying there's no effort there...
Yes, he's not been good, but Cano hit .327 in July and is a decent .281 in his last 10 games.
sounds like Francesca isn't going to give Tamper their proper due...and just blame it on the Yanks
Mike is going to accentuate that the Yanks have made playoffs for past 13 years, and all Tampa fans / Yankee haters have been waiting for soo long....etc. Here he is saying it again. So he's gonna let you on but play it down as "its about time" etc. Also gonna talk about Yanks futility as opposed to Rays superiority. I won't be surprised if later on he decides that with the injuries Tampa will fall behind Boston
Listen
as posters here know, I can give a rats ass what happens to Mike, but there is NO WAY getting around the facts that the Sox AND especially the Yanks are just not that good. Tampa DESERVES to win this thing, but these other two teams just don't have it this year. Sox may come up big in the last 4 weeks, but Yanks, I'd be really really surprised
