Kay is joined by Singleton and O'Neill tonight. Probably the best team in the booth.
Nada tonight! Wow!

07.29.08...Yanks No Longer Rolling
Pauly and Flash still in the booth.
"Rasner has such good numbers vs the Orioles but Markakis is 9 for 11 against him, why?"
"Now Paul does a hitter know specifically what they are vs a pitcher or do they just know they hit him well?"
"Paul did you enjoy DHing, did you DH a lot?"
"How is a backup catcher who's paid to play defense expect to hit every 5 days? Is it difficult?"

7.28.08...O's in, Yanks Rolling
After taking 2 of 3 in Boston the Yanks welcome the Orioles into town. They've won 8 of 9 and are looking good.
Kay has O'Neill and Flaherty in the booth.
"How often does a pitcher not have it, then find it?"
"Now is that a special hand-eye coordination or is it just strength?"
Yanks getting killed. Turned the volume down.

07.25.08...Yanks in Beantown
Wednesday's game was a day game so I listed at work and missed Kay. Tonight they are in Boston with Leiter and Cone. This game could produce many, many questions. Stay tuned! Also a My9 game. Ugh!
Right off the bat...
Leiter says Beckett is 'cocky'
"How do you know he's cocky?" He the asks Cone if he was 'cocky'.
They've had this conversation before.
Discussing Cano asking his father to help him hit.
"David did you ever go back to your Dad for help?"
Speaking of Beckett
"Now Al, you were a teammate of Beckett's, how has he changed?"
Some random nonsense.
"Did you enjoy your season in Boston David?"
"Why are body signs more difficult to crack then the traditional finger signs?"
"David you played with him (Varitek), does he mean that much to this team?"
"How would you both pitch Ted Williams?"
"Is there an art to throwing at a hitter?"

7.22.08...Kay is Back! Twins in.
I was out last night so I only listened to Sterling & Waldman. I am very mad at myself that I missed Kay's return. He was gone for about 2 weeks. Of course the All-Star Break gave him a few more days off but he's back now.
He is joined by Al Leiter, his favorite person to examine tonight for the Twins
"Is is hard not to get down if you feel you're being squeezed?"
"Did you ever suck up to umpires?"
Regarding Bret Gardner's struggles.
"Is there that big of a difference between AAA and the Big Leagues?"
"Is it 100 points different?"
Talking about Rasner's better numbers with Moehler behind the plate.
"If a pitcher is in total control of what pitch he throws why does it matter what catcher he is throwing to?"
"Do pitchers get mad at batters who don't swing at anything close?"
"Did you ever learn anything from Mo in the bullpen?"
"Did you compare cutters?"

07.08.08...1st Place Tampa in; Kay is Away
The Yankee games the past two days were on Fox and ESPN so there was nothing to report. They were off Monday too. Now the 1st place Rays are in and Kay is off. I have a feeling when the schedule comes out, Kay plans his days off around the weaker games because he never does Tampa games. I think he has to do all the big games and he never figured Tampa would be this good so it's probably killing him to be away. Oh well, good news for us!

07.04.08 Happy 4th!
The Yankees apparently had some big meeting before the game so that's be the major plot-line for Kay to ask and talk about all game.
Asking about Beckett
"Al, did you know Josh Beckett was special when you played with him in Florida?"
About the fine line between showing up a player/team and being confident.
"Who was it that told you you were crossing the line?"
Its raining so of course...
"Al, who does the rain hurt more, the pitcher or hitter?"
I think he asks this every time it rains.

7.03.08...2nd place Sox visit 3rd place Yanks
TB just swept Boston & they now have a few games lead on the Sox in the Division.
Kay this weekend is joined by Singleton & Al Leiter so I suspect a few more questions.
I wasn't able to post too much (busy working) but Kay did ask a bunch more questions tonight with Al in the booth. He AGAIN asked about Pettitte's cutter vs fast ball and Al gave the demonstration on-screen AGAIN! I believe this is the 3rd time this season he's asked and we've received the demonstration.
He also asked Al about pitching his no-hitter. I believe they've had that conversation before too.
I also would like to count how many times Kay has to say "Manny Being Manny." So annoying! He said it 4 times tonight!
Also, one other thing, ARod needs 1 HR to tie the Mick on the HR list. We don't need the graphics and the whole explanation who Mantle was. EVERYONE watching knows.

07.01.08
Kay with Singleton again.
For starters he made the same comment about Josh Hamilton as he did last night saying his life is more or a "made for TV movie" because of his past drug problems.
Nothing again. He did ask Singleton about his first MLB hit which he asks all the time a rookie is playing.
