YES Sucks
I can vouch for SG here when he writes that Yankee coverage, and in particular the YES Network, has gotten out of hand with respect to whom and how they criticize.
I’m tired of Jeter being above criticism. Like Joe Torre, who blew the game yesterday by saving Mariano Rivera’s arm to pitch with a lead that never came, certain people in the Yankee organization are immune to second-guessing, while others have every little thing they do criticized.
Derek Jeter was awful last night, and as responsible for New York’s loss as any other player, just as Joe Torre was the night before. But you won’t hear that from any mainstream outlet.
Having made my $160 investment in the MLB Extra Innings package, I have taken in bits and pieces of the last couple of Yankee games and it is borderline unwatchable, not so much beause their announcers aren’t the brightest bulbs like some of the other teams’, but more because Michael Kay and company offer a special combination of smugness and willful ignorance that’s just intolerable. We really have been spoiled over the years with Sean and Jerry and, to a lesser extent, Don and Jerry.

But, on the bright side, they do have Larry Bowa teaching Cano how to be more professional, and wow does farnsworth throw hard. Everything is fine in New York, not only did they add Damon’s production, but they took it away from Boston!!1~!
