Andrew Marchand Looks Like a Girl.

"IN YANKEE ads Michael Kay voices for the YES Network he exclaims, 'Pride, Power, Pinstripes.' It may be time to officially add Propaganda."

The Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network is a 24-hour propaganda machine for the Yankees. The only time it's not a propaganda machine for the Yankees is when it's 3:00 am on Sunday mornings and they're showing reruns of Oregon Ducks football games.


"This weekend, when it came to the booing of Alex Rodriguez, YES - as if scripted by the Yankees - chose to either ignore the issue or accentuate the positive."

That's probably the worst example of Yankee propaganda I can think of.

This weekend, I suffered through a few minutes of the David Cone Yankeeography. David Cone only pitched for the Yankees for 5 1/2 years. The dude was 1-10 in 2000 when they sent him down to the minor leagues and John Sterling makes Cone sound like a returning hero. A parade of Yankee players explaining how David Cone was such a goshdarn great interview that diverted attention away from the other players, who apparently were more introverted.

People: He was 4-14, 6.91 ERA in 2000 and Torre stuck with him and this decision almost cost the Yankees a World Series title.

Where's the Denny Neagle Yankeeography?


"On Friday the YES-produced Ch. 9 telecast failed to even show the crowd's reaction as Rodriguez walked to the plate for his first at-bat in The Bronx since the epic 'To boo or not to boo' debate peaked with Rudy from Manhattan taking a moment from plotting a presidential run to call WFAN.

Despite the monumental buildup, Ch. 9 chose a pitch-by-pitch replay of a Jason Giambi strikeout instead of A-Rod and the fans."

Did you know about the monumental buildup to ARod's first at-bat on Friday?

Because I don't recall any monumental buildup to ARod's first at-bat on Friday. Andrew Marchand was the only person on Earth who thought there was a monumental buildup to ARod's first at-bat on Friday.

From what I can gather, the fans gave him a nice ovation, the announcers mentioned it in passing and then returned their attention to the baseball game.

The Baseball Game! With the three strikes and the four balls and the nine innings! It's why we're all here in the first place!


Andrew Marchand thinks the announcers on YES have ignored the booing of ARod? The announcers on YES have dissected this story for two months. The announcers on YES have discussed it endlessly. The announcers on YES are tired of it by now.

If Andrew Marchand seriously wants an at-bat-by-at-bat account of the fan's reaction, then he should be careful what he wishes for. I'd rather see the replay of the Giambi strikeout.
