I Love Ken Singleton

Ken Singleton has been killing it this year. I mentioned before his great Snakes on a Plane line from 2008.

Last night they showed a clip from the Oakland game, and it happened to be Dallas Breeden, the pitcher who bitched at A-Rod last week for walking across the mound, and he was getting lit up in the clip they were showing.

Michael Kay: boy, I hope nobody crosses his mound.
Singleton: looks like he needs to worry about people crossing home plate.

And just now Kay was joking that he'd go online to get ordained as a minister.

Singleton: you can do that?
Kaye: sure you can.
Singleton: what's that, The Church of "What's Happening?!"?

dying!!!  :)

He called Michael Kay "Rerun", ha!!!

Seriously, Mr. S does a great job. IMO, he's the best of the former players in that and many other booths as well. (Mr. S is also the only former player in the current NYY booth who was never a Yankee. He is a NY native, tho.) And his recent pairing with Flaherty on the West Coast was a delight.

Btw, Tino has no business being in the booth, except as an occasional half-inning visitor to exchange yucks about the '90s. Otherwise, he's worse than O'Neill.
