Boomer and Carton break down and analyze John Sterling’s terrible call during Casey McGehee’s 2nd at-bat during last night’s game. Johnny clearly wasn’t paying attention and listening to Suzyn try to cover for him makes you want to cringe.
According to John, these four things all occurred during one swing of the bat:
1) Cuts and Misses.
2) Cuts and hits a fly ball down the left field line and the ball is foul.
3) The throw comes in and McGehee is standing on 2nd base.
4) The ball must have kicked into the stands for a “grounds rules double.”

this is great
Why is this guy the Yankees broadcaster, for years I have forced myself to listen but often will tune in the opposition’s broadcast because “John is not very sterling!” When you live in Nova Scotia as I do we have no YES Network option and he is terrible…when is his contract up?
Bob,
This is from 10/28/11: (http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/print.jsp?ymd=20111028&content_id=25825132&vkey=news_nyy&c_id=nyy)
“The team extended its agreement with WCBS 880-AM through the 2012 season, and announcers John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman are expected to return to their respective duties in the radio booth.”
“New York retains an option to extend the agreement for another season beyond 2012, and both parties apparently intend to continue discussions about a long-term partnership.”
