Funny you mention that. Living here 300 miles from NYC, but still in their home market , I get all Yankme home games and the Kay and his announcer pals were in their usual form. In the pre-game BS talk, Kay stated that the Yankees cleary had favorable pitching matchups in each of the three games. I almost fell out of my chair.
I'll give the nod to Petitte over Wake (even though that worked out), but in no way is Ponson or Mussina better than Byrd and Lester repectively. I don't know if it was just homerism or he just doesn't know WTF he is talking about.
That being said, nothing is really more enjoyable watching the Yanks puke all over themselves while listening to Kay and his merry bunch.
