Finally, Some Good News.


Previous Xmastime love for Kenny:
- I love love love Ken Singleton. I wish he announced every single Yankees game; that smooth, laconic delivery easing you through the summer. And here we are 5 games into a 162-game season, and he's already got the line of the year:

"Yankees have the bases loaded with nobody out....now that's snakes on a plane."
- Last night they showed a clip from the Oakland game, and it happened to be Dallas Braden, 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?!"?
-Some dipshit from the Orioles just struck out for the fifth time today, prompting Michael Kay to say "Well, four strikeouts in a game is the Golden Sombrero, but I don't know what five is."
- Ken Singleton (to Michael Kay): What would've happened if the country was founded from West to East instead of East to West?

- I've always said my favorite games are those mid-season, mean-nothing games with Ken Singleton and Bobby Murcer easing you through the 9 innings, drawling story after story and laughing.
