About Kay's Questions

Kay's Questions is a blog dedicated to tracking the insane amount of questions Michael Kay poses to his co-announcers during the New York Yankee telecasts on the YES Network. Michael Kay's "style" of calling the Yankee games drives me nuts. I obviously cannot watch every minute of every Yankee game so other Kay-detractors are welcome to add to the list. It will be fun to see how many times he repeats the same question throughout the baseball campaign.

05.17.08...The Other NY team invades the Bronx

Our almost 1 week break from Kay has sadly come to an end. The Yankees were rained out last night and surprisingly not on Fox today so we have the pleasure of an early start with Kay. His pals in the booth are the two ex-Yankee pitchers, Cone and Leiter.

On Pettitte's struggles later in games.
"Do you think he just tires? Is he getting old, what could it be?"

"Did you guys when you were preparing to start the game, did you have the lineup card in front of you?" Then Al answers with an "Of course" like saying 'you idiot, what kind of question is that'?

Then the dumb flollow-up...
"Then do you pick a guy in the lineup and you say 'I'm not going to let him beat me' and figure out possible scenarios where he can't beat you?"

Pettitte picks off a runner.
"Al when you picked someone off did it feel like a free out?"

I think he asks this one everytime Pettitte pitches...
"David, why is he so good now versus righties when he was never dominate against righties?"

Again, regarding Pettitte's struggles in the 4th and beyond.
"Now we've mentioned his struggles in later innings does he start mentally thinking about it?"

The cameras pick-up Pettitte mouthing the pitch he wants to throw to Moehler.
"Would he actually mouth that? What if the hitter saw him?" Haha! Then Cone and Leiter give him tons of examples of who else used to do it and that it's pretty common.

"Does a pitcher lose anything sitting on the bench for 24 minutes?" Again, Kay asks this type of question EVERY SINGLE TIME a team has a long inning! You know the f'n answer Kay!!!!

They show Delgado tapping his foot at the plate...
"Is that because he's trying to make up for the lost bat speed?"

"For which team do you think the Subway Series was more important to?"
