JOHN STERLING MIGHT NEED A VACATION

John Sterling may be losing it, or, maybe he's just being John Sterling.  There is so much about him in the past 2 days, I'm starting it right now... Sterling may need alittle vacation. Why? a few things. For one, this photo of him in the lobby of the Westin Hotel in Detroit...he, in a bathrobe is slightly awkward.  I mean, how does that conversation go when you see him? Then, secondly, he just seems like his heads not always in the game lately.  Don't know what I mean? Well, keep reading...

Now listen... I love listening to John and Suzyn. I find them entertaining.  Many want them to leave the broadcast booth. I disagree, because like Cinderella has said...Don't Know What You Got, Till It's Gone, I too subscribe to that. They make me laugh. They aren't the greatest, but they clearly don't have to be and know this, the day they're gone, there will just be 2 other people in there that don't offer what John & Suzyn offer.

I'm going  to make this statement right now...They are staples in New York Yankees culture. They are the brunt of jokes, openly mocked... but in the end, they entertain and make their color and play by play fun and call it like it is... OR like it ain't, like this incredible piece of audio mixed in with Boomer and Carton breaking down what may have or may not have been a hit by Casey McGehee on August 8th.
Now Carton mocks John and he has that right I guess. John clearly doesn't know what happened in the play and Suzyn is in fact backing up John even though she knows he blew it. Hey, good for her, you need to give Suzyn kudos for that. But in this day and age, does he think he's fooling anyone?

Now sure, we have done some ripping of John and Suzyn in the past here on Bleeding Yankee Blue. I can tell you that on a personal level, I have no beef with either of them in the booth. Some of our BYB writers do, they are entitled to their opinion, I'm not one of them.

Read THERE'S ACTUALLY NO SECRET TO JOHN STERLING'S HOME RUN CALLS and WHY IT'S JUST BASEBALL SUZYN and WHY THE YANKEES NEED TO BORROW A PAGE FROM ESPN to get alittle perspective on that.

Clearly though, John and Suzyn are borderline iconic at this point in Yankeeland and they need to stick around. They may not be perfect, but I'd love to see all these haters get in the booth and try to do what they do...believe me, it ain't easy. Message to John though...take a vacation and come back fresh. After all.. "It's just baseball...you never can predict it."
