I was in the car with a friend of mine the other night. We turn on the Yankees, and Suzyn is talking. She immediatly says, "Turn it off. You know I can't stand Deliliah". I then realized how awful Suzyn Waldman really is. She's horrible. She knows very little about baseball, and appears to know about two phrases: "You just can't predict baseball" and "You're absolutely right John"
John Sterling is a completly different beast. I tend to enjoy him. He's fun. But some of his calls are absolutely horrible. For example, Tex hits a home run. "He sent a Tex message to [INSERT DIRECTION OF HOMERUN] field. You're really on the Mark, Teixeria!". That's just lamesauce. Step it up John!
The YES network booth is equally as bad as the radio commentary. I like Kenny Singleton. He's a high quality announcer. Paul O'Neill. Meh. Former player. He's not too bad. I like him more than Flash and Leiter, if only because he actually played for the Yankees for more than 3 years. No matter how bad any of these guys get, they will never exceed Michael Kay. He's the worst. "SEE YAH! A TWO RUN HOME RUN FOR ALEX RODRIGUEZ" gets pretty old quickly. Also, "back...track...wall" is obnoxious. Michael Kay takes the Razzy for worst commentary ever.
We have a billion dollars. Thats Billion. Like Travie McCoy. Hire some quality announcers tomorrow. Make a trade. I feel sure that Michael Kay, John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman is worth Vin Scully.
