Since we're talking about local announcers who are starting to get annoying, here's one who may be going the other way. Turned on the car this morning and WFAN was on. Francessa said (I paraphrase) "I was listening to the radio this morning. Yankee fans were calling in, complaining about Jose Reyes's excessive celebrations. But Joba Chamberlain does the same thing." Then, he admitted he was wrong in his prediction that the Yankees would hit Takahashi the second time they'd be seeing him. At that point I fainted, so I never heard what he said next. (Hadn't started moving yet.) Is he mellowing in his old age, is he finally being honest, or can we add "front running bastard" to the list of the other epithets we call him? Later
