Leiter and Flaherty both in the booth as Kay attempts to follow up his record breaking question night with another night of annoyance and interviewing.

On Josh Beckett.
"Al, you spent time with him in the Florida organization, how was he as a teammate?"

Kay throws out some useless stat about Mussina vs lefties and the of course asks...
"Why?"
This spurs Leiter and Flaherty to drone on and on and Kay follows with...
"Is it an inability or reluctance to throw inside?"

On pitching to Manny
"So John, you've caught the guy, what pitch is he looking for to get out Manny?"

I was in & out of the game from 8 - 9:30 but I did hear a couple more questions by Kay during that time.

On Mussina still...
"Will he finally pitch inside now?"

On Farnsworth pitching inside to Manny.
"Will Farnsworth pitch him inside?"

Then he proceeds to throw a picth behind Manny and predictably, say it together now...
"Was that on purpose?"

On the Yankees swung early in the count.
"You have to wonder if it's in the back of their minds that they're going to get one up and in?"

Camera pans to Wang and Hughes on the bench.
"When pitchers make that motion, is that a 2-seamer?"

How about this one? Can you just please let us watch the game Kay!?!?
"Al, do they tinker with your stuff more when you're in the dugout or in the pen?"

That was a grand total of at least 28 questions in the 2 games vs Boston!
