Michael Kay, Friday on YES, said ex-Red Sox outfielder J.D. Drew “played as if it was the last place he wanted to be.”
But at 8-8 in the seventh, when Robinson Cano barely jogged after grounding to third — he peeled toward the dugout well before reaching first — Kay didn’t say a thing.
Kay also notes the salaries of Yankee opponents, often expressing amazement at free-agent money ill-spent. But he never brings up similar — or worse — Yankee spending.
Still, John Sterling remains the worst of shills, smug and disingenuous.
Thursday, Sterling riffed about reports Alfonso Soriano “can’t run.” He called that bull, adding Soriano is “even stealing bases” as a Yankee. “But people like to knock,” he haughtily concluded.
Bogus. No one claimed Soriano “can’t run,” but that he often chooses not to, that he prefers to pose near the batter’s box. And among the first to note that fact was Soriano’s first Yankee manager – whose spikes Sterling once licked — Joe Torre.
