Yankees Announcers Are Deaf, Dumb & Blind
In today's New York Post, columnist Andrew Marchand points out that the Yankee Broadcasters on the YES Network are acting a little too much like Tommy:
July 31, 2006 -- In Yankee ads Michael Kay voices for the YES Network he exclaims, "Pride, Power, Pinstripes." It may be time to officially add Propaganda.
This weekend, when it came to the booing of Alex Rodriguez, YES - as if scripted by the Yankees - chose to either ignore the issue or accentuate the positive.
On Friday the YES-produced Ch. 9 telecast failed to even show the crowd's reaction as Rodriguez walked to the plate for his first at-bat in The Bronx since the epic "To boo or not to boo" debate peaked with Rudy from Manhattan taking a moment from plotting a presidential run to call WFAN.
Despite the monumental buildup, Ch. 9 chose a pitch-by-pitch replay of a Jason Giambi strikeout instead of A-Rod and the fans.
When Rodriguez was neatly tucked in the batter's box, Kay said, "Here is Alex Rodriguez, who just got a very warm hand from the crowd."
Wow. That would have been nice to see and hear.
During Rodriguez' second and third strolls to the plate, drop-in advertisements, voiced by Kay, superseded the crowd's reaction.
While we couldn't see or hear for ourselves, Kay and Bobby Murcer informed (propagandized?) us that Yankee fans love Rodriguez and he works really, really hard. On Saturday, Kay said his "work ethic is amazing" and "it is not for show."
On Friday, Murcer said there were "a lot of cheers tonight for Alex Rodriguez." Kay told us, the fans were chanting "A-Rod's" name.
But yesterday on YES, when Rodriguez struck out three times and the boos were easy to pick up from our couch, neither Kay nor Murcer somehow heard a thing.
There seems to be only two explanations. Either the network is turning its baseball games into state-sponsored telecasts. A YES spokesman denied this charge.
Or YES totally missed the A-Rod story.
Either way, it smells.
What do you expect from Murcer and Kay? Michael Kay probably wouldn't be able to hear any of the fans with his nose so far up any member of the Yankees jock. Michael Kay, the ultimate Yankee shill.

Most Yankees fan agree.
Michael Kay is an asshole.
Or idiot.
Or whatever.
We all make fun of him.
Hes okay. Don't diss him so much, when we all know who the REAL problem is: A-Rod (my dad's nickname for him is A-hole.)
I have to say, like all yankees and baseball fans, after all those strikouts with runners on, and his propensity to ground into double plays but screw up the chance at turning them, A-ROD ISNT WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN SHIT! He's becoming a Chuck Knoblauch, who was never a yankee and couldnt even pretend to be. I say we drop him now. On his head.
I'm a diehard yankees fan, but here are some more yankees who I HATE, so bear with me:
-Randy Johnson (You can't trust his old ass.) As a hired gun, hes a damn matchlock.
-Gary Sheffield (Too expensive, drug-addled, and a true hired gun.)
-Michael Kay (he is a retard, and hes part of the reason so many baseball fans hate our team.)
-If anyone remembers:
-Raoul Mondesi
-Jose Contreras
-Chuck Knoblauch
-Robin Ventura
-Jeff Weaver
And the Immortal Contemporary Yankee team:
-Jeter (ALWAYS)
-Bernie Williams (Back in the 90's)
-Paul O'Neill
-David Cone
-Andy Petitte
-Mariano Rivera
-Jorge Posada
-Joe Girardi
