    I guess you didn't read the rest of the story. It said the radar gun on the scoreboard wasn't working.

    I don't understand what the fuss is. Most teams have had someone monitoring pitch speed since Fernando and Mike Brito. Communicating it is a problem? Communicating it with hand signals is a problem? Or maybe its like the sideline phones in football, if both teams don't have access to the info - nobody does. But then again, it is baseball with rules written and unwritten that seem designed to make fans laugh. Though golf has a few dumb ones too.

    You are correct. I wasn't interested enough in the Yankees and certainly not Olberman to read very far.

    You said it, buster. They can get away with sweeping corpse after corpse under the rug. The guy's nothing special, and has been handed the Golden Ticket. Do your job, and quit the self-aggrandizing bullshit.

    Hell the guy is in an $800 seat. He can afford it.

    Think the real story that went unnoticed, Hideki Irabu is sitting about 4 rows behind the guy.

    It's not as if the employee is taking away a seat from a paying fan.

    Not to mention Joe Pesci right behind him, looking like he's going to put a pen in his neck.

    Wait, a baseball team might be stealing signs?

    I'm shocked!

    Why the fuck is this even a story? If they are stealing signs or signaling pitches, handle it like it's been handled since Abner Doubleday layed out that diamond. Earhole somebody and move on.

    I am shocked that Olbermann isn't back with Dan Patrick yet.
