Peter Gammons on ESPN..what a homer!

hey killaz,

is your skin paper thin or something???  who cares what the rodent toothed peter gammons says??  who cares what the morons mike and mike say?  assholes and opinions are one in the same.  "everybody got one".   you get way too worked up over what people say about your precious Yankees.  get over it because in a blink of an eye you will be filling your depends and collecting social security wondering where your life went.

This is nothing New Peter Gammons cant stand the Yankees..

So whenever he talks about them i just mute the TV...

Really?  You do know who the AL manager is this year right?

Francona     He ain't getting in...sorry just because its at Yankee stadium doesn't mean the AS roster is going to the NYY 25 man roster....

Hawks fan, sorry but it is unbiased.  Its market driven, there are just more people tuning into a Sox game, Yanks game, Dodgers game, Mets game.  Then there is a Marlins, Brewers, Mariners etc....

Its just statistical fact.  The fact that "you" want to see other teams play (and believe me I'm with you, I like getting the chance to see every team multiple times) doesn't mean the collective do.

The second reason is the fact that by playing against the teams that draw well nationally (BoSox, Yanks, Mets, Dodgers for examples) you are exposing more fans to that other team.  An average fan may have never seen Hanley Ramirez play a game.  But he tunes into a Mets/Marlins game.  HanRam has a good game, and guess what?  Its on the national stage with a big audience.  A new Marlins fan is born, because one of the brightest young stars in the league got exposed to a huge audience.  Next thing you know maybe the Marlins lock down HanRam to a $70m contract extension with all the new national media revenue.

Same scenerio with Hanley, but now he's going against the Pirates.....comparively, no one is watching....no one cares, the exposure for the Marlins is much less.  NO new revenue, no contract extension.  But hey, at least the 1% core diehard fan got to see Ian Snell pitch....

Kay is awful. I am amazed at some of the dumb things he says being around the number of Al-stars he has been through the years. The Yankees lost the best announcer in MLB when Katt retired. Admittedly, we are not talking Red Sox anoouncer bad or even worse White Sox announcer bad. He's just bad, that's all.
