Leiter & Flaherty still working with Kay. Phil Hughes just went on the DL and Ian Kennedy is pitching so there could be a lot of things there for Kay to ask about.

Enough with the " ...ties an American League record with 3 put-outs in one inning." You just said that last night, there's nothing witty about it.

Robertson has better numbers vs righties than lefties.
"Now what would dictate those numbers John?"

Yet another example of Kay liking to hear himself talk.
"Did you ever have a Reggie Bar John?"

Eiland has a fast trip to the mound.
"That was a quick trip to the mound. Why would that happen?"

It's raining and Kay asks these dumb questions. Like he's never broadcast a game in the rain before or for that matter, ever been out in the rain before.
"John, does it get slippery out there? Al, how about the mound?"

About playing under Jim Leyland
"Is Leyland like Bobby Knight, you hate him as your manager but when you leave or retire you love him?"

The pitcher tries to knock down a come-backer by Sheffield.
"Al you're always taught never to do that (stick your leg or hand out to stop a come-backer), but is it just instinct?"

Stupid question ALERT!!!
"Are you seeing enough fight out of this team? Do you sense a 'whoa-is-me' with all the injuries?"

Kay says Ian Kennedy was supposed to be straightening things out...
"Al what's your review on Ian Kennedy?"

*Do we have to hear about Robinson Cano's slump every single time he comes up? He's 2 for his last 28, 2 for his last 29, 2 for his last 30....on and on and on...ENOUGH! All of us watching know he's not hitting! We watch the games & can see his average. We do not need you to point it out to us all game!

Final question of the night! I'm sure he's never posed this question.
"Guys you've both made that jump (obviously) from AAA to the Majors, is it a big jump?"
