As I understand it, Michael Kay simply wears a different hat.

That's his Yankees hat. Where's the ESPN one?

ESPN could have found that out for themselves or stole it from anywhere. Either way they're likely to present it as their own ("ESPN has learned ... " -- they just don't tell you that they "learned" it by listening elsewhere)

But mainly I brought it up because I caught about 10 minutes of 'SportsCenter' and maybe 20 of ESPN radio and heard the "record" mentioned about six times and treated as if that was the most important aspect of the game. And again at lunch today I was in a place with ESPN-News on and they teased the upcoming NYY/Phils highlight as containing "something that's never happened before". WHAT?!? What never happened before:
- they Yanx losing? -- no, I think they've lost before
- the Yanx losing to an old guy? -- no, this turns out to be the third time they've lost to a 47 year old (Phil Neikro twice) meaning this "record" turns out to be just a difference of a few dozen days.

So, yeah, mainly I was just knocking 'The World Wide Leader' and their penchant for treating Yanqui news as if more newsworthy than that of all others. Put another way, Moyer's won 17 games just since turning 46; y'think some of them might have fit the "oldest ever" category too? Probably but we didn't hear about them did we?
Oh, and Michael Young broke Pudge Rodriguez's career Texas Ranger record for hits yesterday -- that get the same airplay as the Jeter/Gehrig festival from last year?

I got no enjoyment from the MFYs beating the MFPs, and exactly as much from the opposite scenario.

They can stop replaying that World Series now.

Phils wind up taking 2 of 3 as the Yanx hit Halladay but no one else

Braves beat Tampa again so no 1st place tonight

Nats lose, Marlins lose

I got a teensy bit of joy out of the Yankees needing three relievers in the top of the 9th the day before they play us though.

So now we can switch to 2000 World Series Rematch, right?

As long as it's with similiar results (similiar to the 2009 rematch series results that is, in which the previous loser won at least 2 games)

This is a good point.
