Michael Kay and Ken Singleton talk about the thin air up in Colorado.
Michael Kay - "Strangely I felt it in the second inning. I think it affected the broadcast. "
Ken Singleton - "Did you feel light headed?"
MK - "Yeah. Short of breath."
KS - "I thought you were normal."
I can't say I noticed a difference from his usual broadcast either Kenny.

@ Colorado Rockies 6/19/07
I missed the pre-game chatter today, dangit, but I was reading the alt.sports.baseball.ny-yankees news group and this is what a poster said:
Is Kay Drunk?
He just started the broadcast singing John Denver...
Man if I had only tuned in 15 min earlier...

VS Arizona Diamond Backs 6/13/07
Michael Kay, trying to fill up air time, the score being 7-2 says this random thought to John Flaherty.
Michael Kay - "After all the years of crouching do you ever like sitting around the house, and go into a catchers crouch, John?"
Oh I'm sure he does that all the time, that's a terribly fun position to be in. Great on the knees.

Lissy's 6/13/07 quotes (vs Diamondbacks)
________________________
3rd inning - Orlando Hudson hits a nice easy comebacker to Mussina who throws him out at first.
MK - "Right back to Mussina, 6 gold gloves, he flashes it there...."
It wasn't really the flash of a gold glove caliber player. The ball rolled right into his glove. Anyone could have made the play.
________________________
4th inning - After Matsui home run drives in 3 more runs - Kay discusses ERA.
MK - "Those 3's in the National League are definitely 4's in the American League..."
I see what you were trying to say - really I do. But your "logic" does not make sense. A 3 is a 3 is a 3.

VS Arizona Diamond Backs 6/12/07
Two things from Michael Kay today(so far anyway). First the usual stuff, and well second just sends me over the top.
Michael Kay - "It seems the longer you are around this game you realize, that its much more mental then it is physical. Boy if a guy feels good about himself and thinks he's going to get a hit, he's probably going to get one.And then If you're feeling for it, you're wondering and you're hoping ... you can't hope to get a hit."
Right... like so all you have to do is go up there and think you are going to get a hit and BAM, you get a hit. I'm trying out tomorrow!!! I think he should tell the Yankees the secret. Then they could all be hitting over 500.
Michael Kay - "Why do you think it never really worked out for Randy, with the Yankees, the numbers were fine, you can't argue with the production, he never seemed as if he was happy."
Please John talk some sense into him....
John Flaherty - "... The numbers were pretty good at the end of the day. ... Everybody expects greatness every time out there and it just didn't happen."
Ok, I guess being the personal catcher of Randy you have to kiss his ass, fine, anyway. You guys are both smoking crack!!! Ok lets go over this slowly. In 2005 he went 17-8, with a 3.79 ERA which is good for a ERA+ of 117. Not terrible... but not quite what the Yankees signed up for either, when you consider that his career ERA+ is 137 and had a 171 the year before.
Now for 2006. 17-11 with an ERA of 5.00 and ERA+ of 88. That's absolute garbage. Oh Kay will talk about his 17 wins, but he had ridiculous run support that year. Don't even try to talk to me about 'pitching to the score'. John we weren't expecting great things every time out, but we were expecting it at some point during the season!! Ug!!!

@Chicago White Sox 06/05/2007
Michael Kay believes that Joe Torre arguing can have rippling effects on the current at bat.
Joe Torre, watching from the dugout said something to the umpire about a questionable strike call on Robinson Cano. A couple pitches later Michael says this gem.
Michael Kay - "Is there anything good that comes from a manager arguing?"
Cano then hits a double down the line.
MK - "Well that's something good right there."
Well if Michael is correct Torre should be arguing a lot more. Oh what am I saying its Kay we're talking about.

@ Chicago White Sox 06/04/07
Today we find out what periodicals Michael likes to read.
1st inning - Jermaine Dye hits a high pop up
Michael Kay - "Boy was that a homerun in a silo."
Joe Girardi - "Michael growing up in NYC, what do you know about silos?"
MK - "You know I do read books Joe, I read books about silos all the time."
Paul O'Neil - "I was gonna say that's like a home run in an elevator shaft for you that's what you're used to."
MK - "that's what I should say, but I subscribe to silo illustrated so I wanted to use that."
Silo illustrated huh? Well I guess he likes to read about tall phallic structures.
