Displaced Flames fan;3059761]Any Yankee fans here?
I was just wondering how you stomach John Sterling. One of the stupid sports talk radio shows I listen to during the day likes to play game calls as a lead in and I hear this clown all the time with his contrived 'Yankees win! Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin" call.
Makes me want to puke it sounds so fake.

Long time Yankee fan - before I started working from home, I would listen to Sterling on my commute home every day on XM. He is a horrible announcer, especially with his, 'It's High, It's Far......It's caught' call on a shot caught at the warning track or sometimes not even that far. His homerun calls are also absurd and he does a terrible job of calling a game.
Also you can expect a "You can't predict baseball" monologue every game when the unexpected happen.
They may be out of the booth soon, I believe the contract with their station is up after the year and there is talk of moving to ESPN NY.
Now I can watch all games on TV but Michael Kay is not much better! Although they have some great colour men with Ken Singleton, Al Leiter, David Cone and Paul O'Neill.
