There are people who love sports talk radio, and there are people who hate it. The following clip, from the always worthwhile Fire Joe Morgan will likely thrill both sides.

A caller to Yankee announcer Michael Kay's radio show took Kay to task for mentioning Chien-Ming Wang's in-progress perfect game during a broadcast. According to the caller, it's against "baseball etiquette" to do such a thing, but Kay vehemently disagrees. So vehemently, in fact, that the conversation then moves on to American slavery, putting "people in the ovens." And then he calls someone else stupid and infantile.

Well, it's 5:30, and no announcement from Selig and company about steroids suspensions as has been widely rumored. We're keeping an eye out, but, of course, we'll just ask Michael Kay about it, if we have to.

The Drooling Michael Kay

As loyal MLB.tv subscribers — honestly, if you're paying for the MLB TV package for your TV rather than your computer, you're getting ripped off — our favorite parts are usually when the game isn't going on. If you find the right feed, it won't jump to commercial like on regular telecasts and you can hear the dunder-headed announcers blabbering on.

Blogger Lupe Velez had a grand time during the Yankees-Angels game the other day, chronicling this conversation between Yankees announcers Michael Kay and John Singleton. It occurred after an attractive woman entered the YES booth:

kay: WHOAAA! there's a winner! — there's two winners that just entered the booth! oh my god! lee, you have to stand up. lee, you MUST stand up. oh my goodness... kay and singleton in unison: no more calls! kay: oh ho! no visible means of upper support singleton : and bouncin! likin' the music! kay: oh my good—- did you see?! singleton: let me outta here! kay: we've lost kenny. earth to kenny... singleton: is there a game tonight? [long silence] kay: god, that's...smokin......

All right, that just really grossed us out.
