Joel Sherman & John Sterling show pop culture awareness in 9th inning, score 11-11
This exchange was noted on another blog, I couldn't listen myself at that point. The Mets game appeared in the bag, so he dialed over to check out the 11-11 Blue Jays/Yankees game in the 9th, saying:
- "I haven't listened to Yankee radio in a long time but I just switched over from the Mets game because that game is "in the bag" and the Yankees and Blue Jays are tied at 11. So the guy who is doing radio now with John Sterling, (Joel Sherman), (Suzyn Waldman is out atoning for her sins)
- says 'Mariano Rivera coming into this game is like Gisele Bunching (sic) walking into an Ugly Festival.'
- "East Races are as Different as A.L. and N.L.," NY Times by George Vecsey, 9/23/07
- "Torre brought in Mariano Rivera for the ninth inning. He got through the inning, but even he was shaky...."
- "Shaky" is what the world will see and remember. It's the NY Times' judgment. Their columnist Murray Chass also has an article for tomorrow's edition--he wrote about various bullpen situations, mentioning several teams. He mentioned the Yankees but just as a team Boston plays, nothing about their bullpen, which for me is a plus. It makes life easier for me. I only note it for those who believe so-called New York newspapers are biased in favor of the Yankees.

Glad you got a kick out of that! It was such an odd exchange.

Definitely did--glad you noted them. I thought right away Sterling's Broadway-related comment made sense as I've heard him make similar references over the years. Sherman's super-model one was funny.
