The Yankees Announcers: Almost As Painful As the Team

If
you have ever had the displeasure of sitting down and watching a Yankees
game on the TV or the radio, you know what I am talking about. By far the
two worst in the radio broadcasting industry, the games John Sterling and
Suzyn Waldman broadcast can almost make you start hating baseball by
listening for 9 innings. It really is painful to listen to Suzyn; half the
time she is talking about nothing that has to do with baseball. Just to make
matters worse; John Sterling has to be the most annoying announcer there is.
He has those annoying home run calls,
and they just keep getting worse and worse. I don’t know when he started
this, but John if you are reading this, please stop! Some of his signature
home run calls are “that ball is high, it is far, it is gone, it is an
a-bomb from A-Rod! Now that is alright, but some of his other ones are just
plain weird. “Robbie Cano don’t you know” “Jorge Juiced one”. Come on! It’s
ridiculous when I can’t even enjoy the game with this inept announcing duo.
Suzyn goes off on completely non-baseball related tangents, and Sterling
takes about 45 minutes to say something between pitches. They clearly need
better announcers I mean can’t they come up with something better than “Ball
game over! Yankees win! Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win!” John has to say
after every win. And who could forget Suzyn practically having a seizure as
Roger Clemens announced he was coming back from Steinbrenner’s box.
“RAAAWJAH IS COMING BACK! RAAAJAH CLEMENS IS A NEW YAWK YANKEEEEEEE!” Please
if anybody from 880 WCBC is reading please get new announcers because Suzyn
and John, as they say in the business, just are not cutting the mustard. So
next times you’re watching the Yankees shut off the radio and do your own
broadcast because God only knows that you will do better the John and Suzan
