I didn’t like Kay when he was on the radio, and he hasn’t gotten any better. I don’t care how he got hired, but I really wish they would fire him.

I do like that the Yankees have some different perspectives, but they have too many people rotating through the booth. It should not be more than 4 or 5 throughout the season.

I don’t even understand how Kay got hired.

Kay has been covering the team for what seems like forever. I guess he somehow got an “in” while doing the postgame reports on MSG?

It is interesting to me that the Yankees consider themselves the class of baseball in how they behave, how they dress, etc. They’re aiming to be the epitome of all things “classically baseball” and yet their broadcast team on the radio and TV stinks. How could the team not address this? Michael Kay, John Sterling, and Suzyn Waldman are all horrendous.

Just give Ken Singleton the booth and pair him with Flash Flaherty and, health permitting, Bobby Murcer. Enough dicking around.

I don’t even understand how Kay got hired. The Danny Aiello connection? It has never made any sense.

~~~but i’ll be happy if they just start with axing Kay.~~~

Hey, if Mel Allen could get fired, it could happen to anyone. Some day, some way, Kay will be sent packing too.

bfriley76 – the YES Network, and the Yankees announcers, have nothing to do with those YANKEES UNIVERSE shirts.

just the play by play alone is better on SNY hands down… but i think the analysis by Darling and Hernandez is better than what YES currently offers, too.

and they make the games really fun to watch. i think there is definately something to be said for having regulars in the booth who the viewers can build a relationship with.

but i’ll be happy if they just start with axing Kay.

This doesn’t count?
