Clarence Clemons is not ready to give "wrecking ball" for the legendary band still. In an interview with a call in the morning to promote his new book, "Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales', which has been displayed on stage during the intro to the evening, Clemons said he was not concerned about this career is the end of E Street." [Bruce] is only getting stronger and stronger, "Clemons said of the 60-year-old colleague." I think it is stronger, the stronger we have to do is just to compete with it. "

Those are going to be very reassuring words for Springsteen devotees, as every show now has fans wondering is this the last time they'll get to see them, and Clemons admits he's had similar fears. In his autobiography, he writes of tearfully taking Springsteen's hand after the farewell show of the 'Rising' tour in 2003 and saying, "Thanks ... for everything." The book, the first from a member of the band, details some humorous stories in the 30-plus years of being an E Streeter, including a 1973 traffic stop where Clemons, who had a joint on him, was terrified of Springsteen and his "no drugs" policy. He also recalls getting a hug from Ringo Starr, another guy who knows about legendary groups disbanding, when Springsteen put the group on extended hiatus in 1989.

While the book offers some stories of rock stars - including sex, Clemons says it's really too much, and some occasional Hollywood party, like getting stoned on 'Sanford & Son' Star Redd Foxx - Clemons does not seek to spill the beans on her famous singer. "Tell-all books are giving birth,''Clemons said Tawag''Ano the morning, you, nobody will know unless you did something exciting. I'm an entertainer, and book is very interesting, I think.''

Former Mets G.M. and current ESPN analyst Steve Phillips, during his visit with Dennis & Callahan Show on Tuesday morning, said he expects the Red Sox hanging tancadores Jonathan Papelbon in the commercial market, and believes that the media used pitching win.

“I think if Papelbon is available, and I think he will be, I think there will be a significant market for him and teams will really step up,” said Phillips. “When you look at the Bobby Jenkses of the world who might be available via trade, and guys like that, Fernando Rodney is a free agent, Papelbon stands out as a difference maker. If I’m the Red Sox, I look at the arm that [Daniel] Bard has. They know his stomach better than anybody. I know they see that at some point he’s a closer. I take that shot. I trade Papelbon, take that money, re-invest it somewhere else, and really, instead of dip in the free-agent market – which is not a great free-agent market this year – utilize a trade to be able to really impact [the team]. I think it’s critical.”

Phillips also held that, as the GM, but will continue Jason Bay or Matt Holliday, the two Prime Sluggers in the free agent market this Offseason. Phillips based its assessment on Bay proven ability to succeed in a market and a great opportunity that Red Sox outfielder is less than Holliday.
