Why I hate Yankee radio broadcasts.

Do John Sterling and Charile Steiner watch the same Yankee games as the rest of us? I wondered that this evening as I drove home from work. Jose Contreras had another bad start tonight, going out of the game after 2 innings and not getting the first three batters out in the third. As Joe came out to give Contreras the hook, Steiner opined that Contreras was starting to be a "chink in the Yankee armor". Hello? Starting to be? Jesus Christ, the guy's had one good start all year, and he got pulled in the second inning a couple of weeks ago because Joe didn't want to risk a 7-0 lead. Contreras is not the solution that the Yankees need, and they never should have let Andy Pettite escape to Houston. Sterling and Steiner went on to suggest that the Yanks could simply skip him in sequences where they didn't play five games in a row, as if not pitching him is going to solve the problem. Hello? The boy needs to go to Columbus, or better yet, to Tampa so he can work out his issues without costing the Yankees any more games. The Yankees seriously need to start looking for a starting pitcher, and for that matter, some announcers who don't have blinders on. Argh.
