Almost too obvious after today’s loss. Sigh.
Still, Jhonny looked awesome today, so that helps soften the blow a bit.
Also thought of “even numbered year”.

“IT is high!” & “IT is deep!” (that idiot on YES)
“back back back” (or any three words Berman says during the HR Derby)
Sterling’s HR call would be “it is far” not “it is deep”, but I’d like to punch John Sterling in the ear, too. And your comment below would be John Sterling, not Michael Kay, although there are plenty of annoying things about Kay. I’d propose his HR call, but “see ya” is only two words. I imagine Yankees fans hate Hamilton’s “A-wayyy back, Gone!” too, which is why the segment on Baseball This Morning where they play the homer announcers’ calls of visitor homers is so fun.
Kay would fellate any Yankee, if given the opportunity

also, “the-e-e-e-e-e Yankees win!” (I hate Kay.)

That’s Sterling, too. I think he’s the one you hate.

I hate the TV guy. Sterling is now on the radio.

I’m relatively sure this is Kay, though.

From Wikipedia’s entry on John Sterling (and it goes without saying that Wikipedia is never wrong):
Sterling has several idiosyncrasies that mark his broadcasts as distinctive, if also divisive. [...] Following the final out of a Yankees victory, Sterling calls “Ball game over! Yankees win! Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win!”. The length of the word “the” is held longer after dramatic victories [...]. One of his signature radio remarks is his home run call “It is high, it is far, it is gone!” Sterling usually follows with one of his patented player nicknames [...]
Which brings me back to the original topic:
Discussing Yankee Broadcasters.

OT about Kay.
Just back from lunch, Kay was subbing on the Tirico radio show. Instead of talking baseball, most of the discussion revolved around Kay’s extraordinary eating habits.
Kay claims to have never eaten a condiment directly in his life. No mayo, ketchup or mustard (!!!). When he ate hot dogs, he ate them plain for criminey’s sake. He also never has salad dressing, just iceberg and bacon bits.
Other oddities, he only eats steak, chicken, pizza, pasta, bacon, turkey. He claims to have never eaten any seafood or even an egg in his entire life. His justification for seafood was that if you have to smother it in butter, then it mustn’t taste very good. Am just curious if he doesn’t season his steaks, etc. I bet they taste pretty bland without a seasoning on them.
Anyway, what a weird guy.

See note above regarding jakesinger777 – sorry about the repetition.
The "cream of the crop" doesn't always rise to the top.

Baseball fans are junkies, and their heroin is the statistic. - Robert S. Wieder
I’m surprised that no bitter trollish posters who have been duly, and often quite roughly, put firmly in their place have nominated the following:
Let’s go tribe.
You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person
I spent a lot of time at Shea Stadium in the late 1970s, watching pathetic Mets teams. In day games, with the garbage blowing around and the jets roaring overhead, you could barely hear the pathetic little school kids chanting, Let’s go Mets, Let’s go Mets. And then Frankie Taveras would boot another ground ball.
On The Scale of Patheticness, which scores higher, Shea of the 1970s or Cleveland Municipal Stadium of the 1970s? We need someone to name the scale after, though, maybe Frank Duffy.
On the Duffy scale, Municipal wins. The only time it was better was during day games, because it was more pleasant by Lake Erie than in Flushing. But the night games in the cavernous stadium, nothing but spider webs, bugs, drunks, and the Tribe stumbling around the field, by far way more pathetic than Shea. If Shea was a 7.5 on the Duffy scale, Municipal was a 9.0. And that’s a base-10 logarithmic scale like the Richter scale.
September the 29th. Because as lousy as this season has been, there’s still something missing when the baseball season ends. Unless Todd Reesing turns out to be good again, but that’s just me.
That’s unfortunate, but when you’re an Indians fan, you take what you can get. My dad was sent by Goodyear from Akron to Topeka in 1985, so I was a student in Lawrence in 1988.
