It's About Damn Time...

for me to post something on this waste of bandwidth, so here we go.

Since the Sox were on the left coast this weekend, I was listening to the Yankees game on the radio Saturday and got an unexpected delight. No, it wasn't that I heard A-Rod hit his 500th career home run. It was that I heard the voice of the Yankees, John Sterling, blow the call.

For those of you lucky bastards that have never heard a Yankees game broadcast over the radio, let me bring you up to speed. Sterling has a very distinct and very annoying "home run call". When the ball is hit, he says that ball is high, it is far, it is GONE! Well, for A-Rod's historic home run, he paused because he wasn't sure that it was a fair ball. After about three seconds of dead air, he said It's gone, then went into what seemed like a script about Rodriguez becoming the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs. Of course he had to finish it off with his signature an A-Bomb, from A-Rod.

Two batter later, Sterling was at it again. Melky Cabrera hit a long ball to left and Sterling's call went like this; It is high, it is far, it's.... off the wall! It was an absolute joy for a Sox fan like me to hear him blow it twice in a game. Let's face it folks, you can plan out history.

Every time that douchebag says "It's an A bomb, from A Rod" a devil gets his horns.
 
Todd - I'm not sure which is worse, the A-Bomb or A ribby double by the Giambino.
 
I've been a Cincinnati Redlegs fan since the Roaring '20s.
 
New post please.
