Get rid of Mark Feinsand on Yankee radio with John Sterling & Suzyn Waldman

Mark Feinsand does not deserve to be on Yankee radio. Neither did Sam Borden, who was poison though the average passive fan didn't realize it. I was disgusted but not surprised the NY Daily News replaced him with MLB, Inc. employee Mark Feinsand. Hearing Feinsand on radio with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman tonight made one acutely aware how easy it's become to make fools of the Yankee organization. It could've been any exchange, but tonight it was about the Red Sox game last night. John and Suzyn knew the interesting point they were going to discuss which I would've enjoyed hearing about (the bullpen).
  • Feinsand hijacked the conversation, talking 100mph to get his point in that the poor Red Sox have no bullpen beyond their closer and that the Yankees have no problem in that area. (What about the lack of starting pitching using up the bullpen, Mark?) John and Suzyn knew he'd talked over their point, tried to get back to it, but Feinsand was adamant in hijacking them and the Yankee radio casters were too polite to tell him to shut up. The Yankee fan doesn't realize he has no outlet left for himself. No one has been guarding Yankee media outlets, and they've been easily taken over by other interests. There's big money in it--most people who write or read baseball blogs would probably love to work at ESPN or have some financial connection with them (obviously, not me--I've already worked in tv sports, thanks anyhow), which closes my case.
I'm not even allowed to have Yankee radio broadcasts now. The whole force of media is to deny the Yankee perspective.
