Death From Above Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 My Arod highlight of the night was when he was on one of his horse shit rambles and said Boston were 1st place in the division for some reason. Anyway, Tampa in 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between him and Suzyn Waldman, Yankees games are unlistenable on the radio, and have been for years. They're both *absolute* examples of putting themselves before the product. (Michael Kay is infinitely better, and he's atrocious as well.) As weird as it is to say, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Yanks. I love the tradition, the history, and the (usual) classiness of the organization. But if I have one hope, it's that their main takeaway from this is both of them are an embarrassment to the organization and have got to go. Won't happen, but eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Similar to what happened with Mike Francesa - Sterling should have been moved on from a long time ago but now that he is in his 80s and still calling games, there is an idiot subset of fans who will be outraged if the station/organization moves on from him and the station/organization doesn't want to have to deal with the fallout. Basically - he isn't going anywhere until he chooses to retire or dies (the later will happen if he keeps trying to drive home at night in floods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Jays fan, I dislike the Yankees but respect them. The Red Sox (and their media's weird obsession with pretending no one in Canada understands baseball) I'm not sure I'd piss on them if they were on fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Great fucking game. Now I'm ready for my heart to explode every goddamn night with these games against SFG. It won't happen, but the only way I go easy is if LAD boatraces them every night and sweeps. I will say that I am spoiled as hell. The LAD TV presentation is lightyears better than whatever the fuck this is that TBS does for baseball, Missed angles all night long, transitions that weren't quick enough to track batted balls, bad cuts on the pickoff throws over to 1B and no replays from any kind of alt angles in the one situation we needed it with Carlson and the "missed" bag at 2nd. And who was I listening to? Ron Darling and who? I did not enjoy what they had going on. Edited October 7, 2021 by grilledcheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
