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.

05.09.08...Kay invades Detroit

Yesterday's game was a day game so I was at work & I wasn't about to watch the replay to hear all of Kay's annoying questions. Let's just assume there were plenty.

The Yankees are back on the road in Detroit and Ken Singleton and Al Leiter are in the booth with Kay. Leiter usually brings out plenty of questions especially with two lefties on the mound. Could be bad. Game is also on My9 and they have lost 2 of the last 3 on My9.

"As a pitcher did you like the 'bowling alley' that is carved in front of the mound?"

"Who on the Yankees gave you the most trouble?"

"Now what does holding the ball do Al, make the runner tense? Tire him out?" Another example of Kay needing to inject himself into the game. I'm sure he really had no idea why a pitcher will hold the ball longer when a speedy runner is on first.

That was about it. Not bad. Another loss on My9 though. It's like because they are on free TV they are supposed to lose & tell everyone if you want to see a win you better get YES.
