Bob Raissman in The Daily News reports that YES broadcaster Michael Kay ripped Joe Torre on his ESPN radio show yesterday, calling him ‘cold and calculated’
“There are things about Joe Torre, if I wanted to come out and say, would show how cold and calculated he really is,” Kay fumed. “… Joe Torre is for Joe Torre. … The graveyard of Yankees coaches is loaded with bones of coaches Joe Torre did nothing about.”
Anyone remember him comparing talking about a no hitter to the halocaust? Between Kay, Sterling and Susan Waldman, the Yankees have cornered the market on wacky shock jock broadcasters. Maybe they can get Jackie Martling to do color commentary this year.

“I should have such a tough job,” Kay said. “If there's a
broadcast entity out there that wants me to work in the greatest city
in the world, have the best of everything at my disposal and pay me
much more than anyone in the business, please contact my agent.
“Also, if it's OK that I completely miss my company's mission
statement for six straight years and not be fired, that would be cool,
too. I should be such a martyr.”
In today's New York Daily News, Bob Raissman's comments on Michael Kay losing it on 1050 ESPN radio, when someone told him it was poor baseball etiquette to mention a no hitter or perfect game was in progress. In case you missed it, Deadspin has the audio.
He also makes some funny comments regarding Chris “Mad Dog” Russo on WFAN going off about how Jose Reyes got a raw deal on his contract, suggesting Chris and his partner Mike Francesa compare their own WFAN contracts on the air.
