Predict the homerun call he will use for Ichiro Suzuki --- the one he is currently working on right now even as we post.

Thrilla by Godzilla?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

No? Hmmmm

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It is high...
It is far...
It is... oh, it's caught just shy of the warning track. I'll tellya something Suzyn, you just can't predict where a baseball is going to land...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THAT'S NO ZERO! THAT'S [NUMBER] ON THE BOARD! AN ICHI-ROCKET!

[Frayed Knot]

It is high ... it is far ... it is ... oh, it's a grounder to 3rd

The ancient Mariner has an ITCH to ROW around the bases, but he revs up his SUZUKI instead!

Ceetar's movie collection has inspired me:

Ichiro - The Blast Samurai

[Edgy MD]

One of these days it's going to get so bizarre that they're going to cut him off in the middle of his broadcast.

"Itchy-Itch makes that pitch his BITCH!! Close your mouth, Suzyn, you'll let the flies in. That's number three on the yea... OUCH! Ladies and gentlemen, there's a hook somehow emerging from the wings trying to grab me. If... you.. can just... hold... "

Domo Arigato, Ichi-Roboto!!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

It was a bazooki, from Suzuki

[Edgy MD]

That just might be it.

"The Ancient Mariner" is taken, right? Jamie Moyer or Edgar Martinez or somebody?

Besides, would Sterling really incorporate a nickname that acknowledges a player's identification with another team?

After they leave Seattle maybe..

Bad announcing aside I've always though Sterling was a decently aware baseball guy, not as stuck on the Yankee-ego thing that he's so good at cheerleading as they're PBP guy. At least, the little I've heard him interviewed. But that might not jive with the theme of Yankee broadcasts to acknowledge the guy. Ichiro is probably more famous than most of the Yankees (in terms of people who know who he is)

[metirish]

"@therealarieber: Wrong on so many levels. RT @JimmyTraina The John Sterling call for Ichrio's HR: "Ichrio, the Yankees rising son says Saynora.""

[Edgy MD]

That would be number 100 for Ichiro.

[Edgy MD]

Far be it for me to suggest that baseball broadcasting should solely be the province of sonorous baritones, but to my ears, it's when Waldman opens her mouth that this scene goes from goofy but innocuous to gratingly offputting.

close enough for government work...

[Guest The Second Spitter]

I'm crap at this (however being immune to John Sterling does have perks too)
