John Sterling is the voice of the Yankees on the radio. Apart from his disgusting press box habits, Sterling is well known for his signature calls. More concerned with schtick than content, Sterling has a specific home run call for each one of the …
The Mets hit a trifecta on Wednesday night in a way that only they can. Their bullpen blew a 2-0 lead, star pitcher Johan Santana was sued for sexual assault in civil court, and closer Frankie Rodriguez was arrested and charged with third-degree …
