~~I’ve also heard Kay say, a thousand times, “Mike Mussina wouldn’t even spit on me if I was on fire.”~~

Right there is why I hate Michael Kay. He’s such a self-involved little twit. Why should anyone give a damn what he thinks of Mike Mussina personally? Still, he feels the need to advertise this fact.

Michael Kay has gotten to where he has because he knows how to kiss up to the right people. He certainly has no great baseball knowledge or no great talent. I wish someone with power would realize that he is not worthy of being a broadcaster for the New York Yankees.

I’ve also heard Kay say, a thousand times, “Mike Mussina wouldn’t even spit on me if I was on fire.”

I think it started when Kay was a beat writer.

I don’t know exactly what it was about.

However, I do remember Kay said on his radio show “if I’m walking in The Stadium and I see Jeter, Posada, and Mussina all getting into an elevator, I will say, ‘Hi Derek. Hi Jorge.”

We are talking junior high level hatred.

Funny, I read that to mean that Dibble has issues with Moose – not that Kay does.

Ok, so now I want to know why Kay has a feud with Rob Dibble AND what prompted Kay’s dislike of Moose. Anyone have any info on either one of these Michael Kay feuds?

I love Mussina interviews.

He has the best dry sense of humor.

I don’t think the press really gets it, and are in general uncomfortable talking to him.

Kay’s hatred for the guy is just comical though…he has no rational answers for anything, and while he consistently spews nonsense, he goes into quite a stretch to discredit Mussina.

Excellent points, MJ. I second your view about Moose. In a way, I think that Mussina may have gained some wisdom with age.

I’m also curious about the Kay-Dibble feud. I have XM radio now and have been very impressed with Dibble’s radio skills. Maybe it’s just that they compete with each other in the same radio time slot. As far as I’m concerned, Dibble has won. I always choose him over Kay when I’m in the car during that time period.

Also, I wonder if Raines’ press abilities will help his Hall of Fame bid. I hope so; I feel that he definitely belongs.

A) What’s Kay’s beef with Rob Dibble?

B) Kay, Peter Abraham and others were ready to punt Moose out of town in October because they felt he wasn’t a team player. While I have also felt that way in the past — he’s made some unflattering comments about teammates and their performances in games in which he’s gotten the L — I do think that he’s not as much of a prima donna as others view him and I think that the quotes being attributed to him in this post are a very good sign that maybe he sees himself as the leader of this pitching staff and, in some way, of this team.

I’m happy Moose is back and if he’s going to be a take-charge kind of guy, I’m all for it.

Just don’t ask Michael Kay what *he* thinks of Moose…

Or Rob Dibble.
