Yankees open a three game series in Chicago vs the White Sox. Kay has David Cone and Paul O'Neill in the booth. Call me crazy but that sounds like a recipe for plenty of questions!
After Melky throws to 3rd instead of 2nd
"If you're pitching there David, would you rather the throw go to second instead of 3rd to kepp the double play in order?"
On Giambi's struggles.
"When does he just start trying to hit the ball to the left side for the easy single?"
On trying to pull everything.
"Did that ever happen to you Paul?"
Again Kay starts asking O'Neill about Hawkins wearing Paul's number. Just check back when O'Neill was in the booth last and you'll see the same exact questions.
A bat breaks as Swisher was swinging.
"Paul, there is no way that bat just broke because of his swing and not a foul ball?"
On Jim Thome.
"Does he have the type of swing that age will affect it?"
Cone explains Wang holding runners on prompts Kay to ask...
"When you say 'look at 3rd' you mean peripherally?"
And then this dandy...
"This might sound strange but how much do you really have to look at the target? I mean you already know the strike zone."
C'mon Kay! Again, you just love to hear yourself talk! That's something you really didn't know and had to ask?
On Bruney's command.
"I've always heard the catcher will call the breaking ball when you are struggling with your command?"
Of course Kay now asks Cone and O'Neill about 'the Joba debate', is he more valuable as a starter or 8th inning guy?
Ugh...here we go. The Yankees have a pretty decent lead late in the game so here goes the questions. He cannot stop talking!!!!
On the Yankees poor start with the bats.
"Let me ask you Paul, does it affect the bats when you're playing in the warm weather in spring training and then go North and play in the cold?"
On facing MacDougal
"Is it a little uneasy being up there when he doesn't know where it's going?" I wonder if it's tougher to hit a guy like that?"
They are discussing Farnsworth throwing at Manny AGAIN! Everytime Farnsworth comes in is Kay going to bring that up? Probably.
"Does it matter how you got hit or that got hit?"...Huh?
After Farnsworth gives up a homer.
"Now Paul, how do you explain it? A guy with his stuff gets hit that hard."
