    At least it's correct. I don't listen to games on the radio much, but a few times I have heard her say some wrong--as in bad info--things.

    Suzyn is consistant - either simplistic or wrong.

    Just watched A-Rod take apart Joe Borowski.... good moment, but this YES sideline reporter, Kim Jones, is one of the worst I've ever seen. Total stereotypical fluff sideline reporter.

    Can't really comment on her pre and post game reporting, but when she covered the Giants for the Newark paper she did good work. It was my understanding that she has been between a rock and a hard place with the TV job... They were sending her down to interview Torre after the game, very often with loaded questions that were being dictated by the front office to try to make him look bad, and she was stuck in between. Whatever the true story is, I don't envy her.

    Didn't know the back-story. That wouldn't be an easy job. But that story about Torre and questioning doesn't surprise me.... I read a 30-inch story in the NY Daily News when I was in New York recently about how you could decode what The Boss was thinking about A-Rod by what the YES announcers said about him....

    In 2005 Joe was paid a little stipend to take questions from Yes. At start of 2006 season Joe refused to do the exclusive post game show any longer due to the tone of questioning that he had gotten from Kim in 2005

    I actually liked Kay and Sterling together in the booth. Far better than the Sox radio team, which made a significant upgrade this year by adding Dave O'Brien to the mix with Joe Castiglione.

    And according to Sterling's Wikipedia page, he's 58. Maybe Shockey needs to set 'em straight.
