    I'll chime in on the announcers. My favorite is Singleton. I really miss Bobby Murcer doing the games. He was my favorite growing up.

    Who remembers Al Trautwig(spelling?) doing the games?

    Yes. Early 90's when the Yankees were on the MSG Network. But do you remember Bill White and the Scooter on WPIX?

    I remember Scooter a little bit. He was just about retiring when I started watching. Did he retire in '96 or '97?

    The last time it took 6 pitchers for a combined no-hitter was in 2003 Astros vs Yankees

    Doesn't look like they think Montero is a catcher long term with their recent draft pick and all.

    I love when Kenny says that. Al Leiter is also really good. I love when he has a ball with him and showing the different ways pitchers hold the ball for pitches.

    Yeah, Leiter is pretty good. I love Cone in general, that dude parties. Love how he references Fan Graphs all the time. He knows what he's talking about.

    I don't remember. I do remember, I think, he stopped going on the road his final few years though.

    Probably, but having a lot of good catchers in the system is not bad also.

    I think Scooter retired in 1996. If I remember correctly, he was upset that he wasn't allowed to have the day off the day of Mickey Mantle's funeral and he decided that it wasn't worth working anymore. Scooter/White and Scooter/Seaver were both great announce teams. It still doesn't seem right that the games aren't on PIX anymore.

    I grew up with the Yanks on WPIX. It was the game at night and then followed up by The Honeymooners reruns. Makes me think of my grnadmother who was old school Italian. Nobody in her world was a greater baseball player than the Scooter. I remember as a kid my Dad bought me a Red Sox hat and she chased him around the kitchen with a wooden spoon. What makes it funny is she wasn't joking. I'm pretty sure if she caught him she would have beat the fuck out of him. :lol:

    Man i hope Pettitte's hand is alright. :fp: It's pretty obvious this team is considerably better with him.

    Shit. Nothing Granderson could have done with that.

    Soriano looked pissed. I've never seen a closer pulled in a tie game. I still think ROberston will reclaim the job at some point this year.
