The Red Sox would have to beat the Rangers first then. Good luck with that.

With the way Fister is pitching, a one and two punch of Verlander and Fister with a nice Tigers lineup will be tough to beat.

Fister with 13ks. Holy shit. And Verlander pitches in two days. This series is wrapped up /huge grin

The Angels are done. No way they're going to be able to catch up to Texarse.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez stated that Julio Teheran or Randall Delgado will be moved to the bullpen after Thursday's double-header against the Mets. Teheran is slated to start Game 1.

With stalwarts such as Betancourt and Wolf (every four days) batting for Milwaukee, ain't no way we losing this division.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Is anyone else ecstatic over Jeter's recent surge as a quality hitter? He's batting nearly .300 again and seems to do it as effortlessly as he's ever done.
What exactly were people crying about? Was it that one AVERAGE season last year? The guy is still one of the best hitters in the game. I can't believe people were begging Joe to replace him or release him from the team. I mean, what the fuck? Can anyone recap what the big deal was? Doesn't every player slump?

Get the fuck out of here, Michael Kay is one of the funniest and most interesting announcers to listen to in ALL of sports. Dude's never played baseball, which allows his appreciation and fanboyism for the sport to show through his commentary. Plus, his banter with Ken Singleton and Paul O'Neall (especially Paul) is absolutely priceless. Always cracking jokes mid-game, never afraid to speak what's on their minds.
Come on, man.

Agreed. I don't know why he gets so much hate. He's obviously a HUGE fan of baseball and is enthusiastic to call every single game, day in and day out. Not only that, but he's quite an intelligent and well-spoken guy, which helps when you're a commentator. lol

Dude is irritating during minute-long clips on MLB.com, I can't imagine what it'd be like to listen to nine full innings of Kay.talisayNon said:

Michael Kay is good, only because he's not as bad as John Sterling (whose lone redeeming quality are his trademark HR calls).
The thing that has escaped the Yankees throughout most of their history is a definitive, excellent "Voice of the Yankees" on TV and radio. The only one is Scooter Rizzuto.
I really like Cone, Leiter, O'Neill and Singleton - they call the game well, and they are very, VERY knowledgeable about the game. Plus, without some trademark thing they do while calling the game, their only focus is to tell the viewer exactly what's going on...good shit.
Finally, I understand why the call is "Jesus is loose" - because anything, ANYTHING, that even quasi-evoked any of the obvious excellent religious puns that could be made would result in a torrent of lawsuits or protests or whatever that would end Sterling's career.

I think that says more about the state of NY sports radio than it does about how good Kay's show is. I enjoy listening to Salvia every now and then, though. I don't think the show anything special and Kay does have a propensity to talk down to his listeners.
Boomer/Carton? Dudebro frat nonsense.
Mike & Mike? Bland and safe, toeing the company line.
Fatcessa? Good for the occasional rant and dumb callers.
Lupica? Don't really mind the show, nothing special.
Cowherd? NO.
Stephen A/Tierney were good together a few years back.

Boomer and Carton are too funny but they don't spend a lot of time on sports. Michael Kay's show is the best rite now. I rarely agree with Kay but LeGreca is awesome. Stephen A. Smith is also great at 7 pm.h3ro said:
