Michael Kay goes off about Perfect Games/No-Hitters

[drd07001]

hahahahaha



[VideoGamePhenomHD]

He should announce the next Super Bowl.

[Doefella718]

Seeee ya!!! Michael kay is the man!

[kingsjsj123]

i hate michael kay... he should not be broadcasting games for the yanks

[ZeldainPark]

This should be on iTunes

[wholeykd]

wow, ur shot, leave kay alone, hes an announcer

[jake11711]

KAY ROCKS

[a0316s]

See Ya!

[jjjdddmmm18]

Kay is the man, back off

[Flamesfan7]

Kay equating saying no hitter on air with enslaving blacks and throwing Jews into the oven. He is a moron.

[Andythepoophead]

@Flamesfan7 No it had nothing to do with comparing no hitter to it he was saying how it was etiquette when black people were slaves. And its true...

[hibachi44]

get him.

[brklynsown]

Kay is seriously the worst tv. Sports announcer probably ever. The whole yes network team is terrible and 3/4 of the team is roided up in that little league ballpark. And kay saying it's his job to report like hes not biased is like fox news saying its their job to report non biased news

[1993jsizzle]

@brklynsown i have a simple question to ask....who is your favorite baseaball team?

[dudestir127]

@brklynsown Nah, Joe Buck on Fox is worse.

[letsgogiants98]

I agree with him, he does have a valid argument.

But you can't go making comparisons with putting Jews in ovens and enslaving African Americans. He just goes way too far. Hes lucky he didn't get fired. And frankly, after that outburst I think he should have.

[SniperAnim]

Damn, I hate this idiot!!!!!!!!! So far up himself and the Yankees! In yesterdays game yankees were up, bottom 10th, bases juiced, 3-1 count. as the pitcher was winding up he started saying "thhhhhheeeeeeeeee.." and when the pitcher pitched what was the walk off ball: "...yankeees win! WTF

[antstorm51]

@SniperAnim that game was broadcasted on espn, so u are just making stories up

[HorizonProductions92]

@antstorm51 @antstorm51 It was, but on the MLB fastcast, it had yankees radio. For some reason i can't post the link here but it was on teh 26th September fastcast (1:10 in). Apologies if this is not Michael Kay but it definately sounds like him and it's from a Yankee audio broadcast. Also, i wanna point out that i actually kinda agree with Michael in this video, but generally not so much.

[HorizonProductions92]

@antstorm51 oops, just realised i answered with my other user. this is @sniperanim that posted the last comment under the name 'horizon..' :P

[dudestir127]

Michael Kay is an idiot.

[jsizzle456]

For those of you who think it affects the pitchers performance need to grow the fuck up! How the hell can a pitcher hear what the broadcaster is saying while they're on the mound. If you think michael kay is stupid why listen to his radio show. And if you watch the yankee games why dknt you just turn the sound down and listen to some music?!

[boyinthedrain]

The Nazi reference was nuts, but other than that Michael Kay is 100% correct

[DefLeppardFann]

Guys stop worrying about what he chose to compare his point to. Slavery, Jews? Whatever. No disrespect to either of the 2 issues but I think Michael Kay was just trying to find something extremely and blatantly obvious to prove his point, and I think he did so very well. You've got to remember how frustrating stupid people can be. He simply put it in laments terms so everyone could get the jist of what he was trying to say.

[SurveyorXXX]

@DefLeppardFann Well said. I'm glad someone besides me finally gets it.

[Douchebag500]

Bad comparison Kayman.

[CoppinDome]

Man I love Kay but god damn...comparing the perfect game susperstition to burning jews and owning slaves, yikes Michael.

[AnE000002]

kay is the fucking man, probably one of my favorite announcers, but the slavery line killed me, he came back with it out of nowhere

Guy: Its baseball etiquette.....

Kay: YEA? IT WAS ALSO ETIQUETTE TO HAVE BLACK PEOPLE AS SLAVES!!!

[biden1]

Tell me why Jimmy why?! lmao great fight :)

[adamhampel]

Lol the beggining was such a new York argument haha, their accents and the fact they talk at the same time so u can't understand either of them

[SurveyorXXX]

@adamhampel Yeah, new york is the only place in the entire world where people have accents and try talking over each other. Don't you hate that? Just out of curiosity, where are you from?

[Thaleus]

Comparing not talking about a perfect game to slavery and nazi Germany. Class fucking act.

[SurveyorXXX]

@Thaleus When did Michael compare those things? I heard him talking about etiquette, but I never heard the comparison. When exactly was it?

[Thaleus]

@SurveyorXXX "It used to be etiquette to have black people as slaves" "There's a lot of rules that don't make sense, that's why there was Nazi Germany. Why did they march people into ovens?" Uh really, you're not seeing how those two things belong nowhere near a discussion about baseball etiquette?

[SurveyorXXX]

@Thaleus Uh, really, I do see how those two things belong nowhere near a discussion about baseball etiquette. I do not hear where Kay compared the two. He is not examining the similarities and differences between talking about a no hitter and slavery. What once was etiquette (slavery, not discussing a no hitter) is no more. That's all he's saying.

[ItsFrankieBoy]

Ok Michael Kay you JERKOFF, I'll give you a reason. Because you're jinxing the fucking pitcher you bigheaded asshole. Do you reall yneed it explained to you? Douche.

[SurveyorXXX]

@ItsFrankieBoy Look up David Cone Yankeeography. David explains how he heard Michael Kay and John Sterling discussing his no hitter SEVERAL times between innings. Cone still got the no hitter. Kinda puts the kabosh on the whole "jinxing" thing.

[Oldcartoons571]

@ItsFrankieBoy OK I AGREE WITH MIKE K HERE. JINIX???? WELL THATS JUST STUPID. DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE FACT THAT HE SAID TWO PITCHERS PITCHED A PERFECT GAME EVEN THOUGH THEY HEARD THE GUY TALKING ABOUT IT?

HOW STUPID CAN U BE?

[yankees2010nyy]

I love the Yankees...but Kay...not sooooo much

[WWE1119]

holy shit this is funny...Michael Kay needs to chill, he is kind of annoying but he is funny during the broadcasts...I don't mind it

[SurveyorXXX]

It's a very well know fact that when David Cone pitched his perfect game, he heard Michael Kay mention it on the radio SEVERAL times between innings. This is from Cone himself. This pretty much dismisses the whole "Don't mention it or it won't happen" theory.

[MrRyguy69]

This guy has the worst broadcasting voice in history.

[DoctorAtomic1111]

@MrRyguy69 THANK YOU!!!

[italianmafia825]

michael kay is the best announcer in baseball. he makes the game exciting with because he actually talks like hes alive. unlike other commenters who sound dead when their broadcasting. he also brings up good conversations during yankee games and ive learned alot from him. hes also not all about yankees hell say what they did wrong and when they play horrible

[trenken]

@italianmafia825 He makes the game exciting? He's the most boring broadcaster ive ever listened to. He's good on the radio, awful on the air. I just watched the mets spank the yankees for the 4th time this year, and when the yankees are losing he's so painfully boring to listen to.

Good announcers find a way to make a game exciting to the viewers, regardless of where their alliances are. He's a yankees fan, and when they're getting beat up he is terrible on the air. He sucks.

[SurveyorXXX]

@trenken An example of a team announcer that "does it right" when their team is losing please. A link would be even better. Thanks in advance.

[nline77]

Michael kay is nothing but a washwoman know it all....You never played the game so shut up.

[SurveyorXXX]

@nline77 You're nothing but a jealous nobody. You've never announced or called a game so shut up.

[nline77]

@SurveyorXXX ..Dude, get off Michael Kay's shit. I don't have to announce a game to know that Michael Kay is a dick. So why don't you shut up because that comment was not directed to you

[SurveyorXXX]

@nline77 I'll never get off Kays shit! He's the man! He's going back, track, WALL, SEE YA!!! A Grand slam for Alex Rodriguez!

Just wanted to make the point that you said Kay shouldn't announce cuz he never played the game, so you shouldn't try to tell announcers how to do it cuz you've never announced! See, it works both ways

[Oldcartoons571]

@SurveyorXXX You won. Great point

[Oldcartoons571]

@nline77 UHH YES YOU DO. ANYWAY YOUR A HYPOCRITE

[cornisflawless]

I agree with Maichael Kay. What if someone just turns on their TV not konwing there is a perfect game going on unless the announcer mentions it. He is over reacting though but Kay is still the best. He just got angry, everyone does

[nline77]

Michael Kay is nothing but a fucking wash woman who thinks he knows everything about the game. You never played the game and your opinions mean shit. You don't rank up there with the greats like Mel Allen, Red Barber or even Phil Rizzuto. Your catch phrase "see ya" is weak. I got one for ya Mike....shut it!!!

[rammalammadingdong1]

i had no idea this guy was such a nut

[white1110]

mike kay is a fucking queef

[STiLLMaTiC717]

I remember this...great announcer

[artanis821]

He should talk about no hitters and perfect games. Its bad enough players are so damn superstitious. Now fans have a problem with a guy saying it on TV when the player cant even hear it. Cmon. Break mirrors, walk under ladders, open umbrellas indoors and quit living like a f'in victim.

[atwater8991]

Michael Kay wet his diaper again, ohhh no!

Michael "poopy pants" loves hearing his own voice. I think he may have invented the game of baseball.

[brooklynknight86]

wow he's as dumb as i suspected. he compared this with black slavery and the holocaust?

[someskits]

get some more rants man. i love him getting pissed off

[wkarl00]

michael kay is awesome.. THERE IT GOESSSS SEEEE YAAA! all yankees fans knowswhat im talking bout

[SolidRaider6]

@wkarl00 Even non Yankee fans know what you're talking about.

[wkarl00]

@SolidRaider6 exactly

[ItsFrankieBoy]

@wkarl00 Are you kidding?? He's the WORST

[BiGoDeLsKi]

it's not that he does it, but when he was in his prime of doing it, ala, when wang was doing it a few years ago, he had a vendetta about the WAY he was doing it.. He goes out of his way TO do it, because he knows he bothers people when he does it, and thats why no Yankee fan likes this fucking nerd, who's never played an inning of baseball of his life..stick to the library kay, leave it to singleton and flaherty, the yankees always win when they call games anyway

[EDPproductionsINC]

its a rule of baseball, there are other ways of getting out of not saying it. "they have had no baserunners," " nothing in the hits column" "15 up 15 down so far" i agree with the caller 100%

[stradag21]

this caller's a fucking idiot!!!!

[C1rob]

The caller is a moron.

[brickscity77]

He could've used another analogy to make is case for what's etiquitte and what's not other than, "It used to etiquitte that black people were slave." I understand his logic behind the example, but in my opinion it was a very bad analogy.

[Wnyblazingkid]

I never seen Kay like this.

[KevinDurandFan]

I hate Michael Kay....Baseball is a VERY superstitious sport so hes not supposed to mention it!!

[YANKEEBOY114]

dude he's called a no-hitter and 2 perfect games. I think he knows what he's doing.

[stradag21]

Dude, you're soooooo right!! Couldn't have said it better myself, this guy is a pro, why would anyone question his credibility as an announcer is beyond me.

[Jnewms24]

that is a bunch of bullshit and you know it. what is different about a fan who brings it up in the middle of the game, and a broadcaster who brings it up.

[dandandandandan227]

No... all of you. Anybody who is a true baseball fan knows that it's just an unwritten rule that you NEVER speak about it while it's going on. Whether you believe in the jinx or not, it's just common knowledge to anyone that watches baseball, and an mlb broadcaster should know that better than anyone else.

[joeguy02]

once you compare calling a perfect game to Nazi Germany and Slavery, your opinion goes down the shitter

[DAF91788]

That caller is a stupid as well as people who believe in jinx. If there's a perfect game you have to say it. Cause every fan in the stadium is looking at the scoreboard they see a zero they know its a perfect game. All announcers do it.

[TheBostonThreeParty1]

Michael Kay one of the best in the bussiness

[superduperuber69]

u should mention it but dont talk about it over and over again cause its a JINX!!!

[fruscianteman]

kay needs to eat another cheeseburger

[StfuBamf]

thats why michael kay is calling yankees games and has his own radio show on ESPN radio and this homo caller is probly homeless

[stradag21]

LMAO!!!, good shit!!!

[MattRB4444]

I agree with Kay in that as a broadcaster you should relay the info of what is going on in the game. I want to know if there is a perfect game or no hitter going on. If ur busy and not in the living room or car for the entire game, I want to be told "Hey, there is a perfect game going on." I understand people think there is a superstition and what not and that's fine. But I agree with Kay. He is doing his job.  As for comparing this to Nazi's and ovens, uncalled for.

[ThePhenom8809]

This guy is a DICK!

[FelineMimiDavis76]

of course if there is a perfect game it should be mentioned by the broadcaster. that foolish superstition that he should not has not been followed for decades. even when I was a kid (40 years ago), it was passe.

[MastaUliasz]

that caller is dumb. kay is doin his job by callin a game.

[dandandandandan227]

You can call the game perfectly without straight up saying that he's pitching perfect. Fans know that. It's an unwritten rule that you're not supposed to speak about the perfect game while it goes on... everybody knows this and he should know better than anyone considering he works for the mlb.

[JaysCyYoung1]

What a douchebag.

[nykspree08]

kay is the fuckin man

[iyequertu54]

i think he's just mad because people don't like him

[niceguy33]

WOW, that's crazy!

[trudolph1988]

comparing perfect games to the holocaust is a little ridiculous

[witchking3434]

i think its ok that Mike broadcasted that about perfect games, but the fact he got so angry about it and made stupid analogies is ridiculous. Holocaust and slavery? REALLY?

[stainseedery]

Oh my. Kay is such a douche. He pulls his own card with that idiotic analogy..."blacks were slaves, so all the 'traditions' I don't like are worthless." Its a well known broadcasting fact that in the midst of a no hitter or perfect game or whatever, you don't mention it and at the very least you don't harp on it. Kay knew he messed up and won't admit it, which is typical of him. I swear I try to keep the game muted when he's talking. He tries to be the manager in the booth waaay TOO MUCH!

[Parflek]

amen

[5StarGeneralXenoCO]

" Your not giving me a 'weason' " rofl. Who cares about tradition it's Michael Kay..lol.

[eljefereal]

Channeling his inner Mike Tyson, apparently.

[deeknow1216]

michael kay is right. broadcasters being told to not say "perfect game" on the air is the exact same thing as slavery and the holocaust.

[SpikePapp]

I've heard about the superstition where mentioning a no-hitter or perfect game in progress will jinx it. It's just a superstition, and I don't believe in them.

[yoyomets]

I'm obviously going to sound biased because clearly I'm a Mets fan but growing up it was always just a "thing" where if a pitcher was throwing a perfect game or no-hitter, you could not say those exact words. Obviously this has no effect on the game whatsoever but it's just one of those things about the game that everybody considers a jinx. He's definitely a dick bringing up slaves and nazis, what the fuck is that shit about? Totally unrelated and a bad comparison on his part

[sabrescarygood]

LMAO get them mike!!!!

[jademyst1129]

dammit, I type too fast, that should have read "if Mel Allen and Red Barber could do it"

[jademyst1129]

It has nothing to do with it being a superstition, it's a baseball announcers' TRADITION, and it has been done on both radio and TV for years--and considering that Michael Kay is a Fordham grad, he should be educated enough to know how to NOT use the words "no-hitter" and "perfect game" and still let the viewer/listener know what's going on. Red Allen did it, Vin Scully still does it--he can do it, too.

[swede760]

He should sell that orange cleaner on TV.

Sounds just like Billy Mays.

Has a stupid HR call too.

[Haroldbeavis1969]

Michael Kay is 100 percent, unequivocally right on this one. It's one thing if players wnat to harbor the superstition by not mentioning it on the bench, talking to the pitcher, etc. But a broadcaster wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't mention it.

[dak879]

I love listening to him on the radio because he totally speaks his mind, even if it involves ripping the Yanks apart. He obviously needs to be very correct and processed on TV, but it is refreshing to hear his honest opinions. Whether or not he is right on this matter, I like that he argues his side passionately.

[jpredsox25]

Wow, I can't believe a man who believes he knows about baseball has no clue about the emotions of the game, the superstitions, and the sensitivities or players and fans.

Kay is an ass!

[hotclaws]

he's a dick and should be fired

[Habanero212]

Mike was getting ready to talk about this today. he talked about it during the game yesterday. usually he's fine but he was a dick.

[Geolink2349]

damn Michael Kay O_O

does he have to yell?

[delaneja]

haha its pretty obvious that michael kay has never played baseball

[psu68born]

once a no no gets past the sixth inning then yes but not until then

[xxjrwriterxx87]

MIGUEL KAY

[cbarriale]

okay imbimbalombadombaboomdiddydoop­s

[atwater8991]

Michael, even *referencing* anything about Nazi Germany shows you have Mike Francesa syndrome...

[EeVvAaNn3]

think, not believe*

[EeVvAaNn3]

"I believe your eye is bleeding."

LOL!

[nline77]

Hey Mike, Your a big mouth jerk off that thinks he knows everything about baseball.You never played the game and quite frankly your catch phrases that you say are annoying.You don't rank up there with any yankee broadcaster from the past.

[Gmanbrooklyn]

Finally somebody said it. I have been saying for years that this guy sucks ass and no one has had the balls to step up and say anything. This guy is a joke and i have no fucking clue how he has a job

[vh5150l]

Micheal Kay is an ass, he is a yankee sympathizer, and everything he says has a yankee slant....he blows, his show is garbage, and I hate listening to him and looking at his huge friggin head

[Jobafan08]

the guy talking mustve never heard of Wells and Cone's perfect games, Kay mentioned the no hitter both times and didnt ruin them

[breaktackle101]

michael kay is such a smart person

[tomasino211]

michael kay is annoying he also is a know it all

im a HUGE yankees fan but he needs to GO!!!!

[abustin]

i think kay was on the right side of the argument but he defended it poorly, he just lost his head with what the other guy was saying about baseball etiquette... anyone have more context on this, like when it was, who the caller and other guy in the studio were, if anyone. (sorry if these are dumb questions to people who already know)

[llewdor]

This is hilarious. I've always liked Michael Kay, and stuff like this is why.

[fatandflexible]

if u listen to a yankee homerun, kay goes crazy, and wen anotha team hits a homerun, he says it in no emotion

[NYerintransit]

Michael Kay was right, even if he did overreact.

This caller was an idiot who couldn't support his argument. He just kept saying "it's baseball etiquette".

If you're going to call out a professional broadcaster at least have an argument.

[centerandcanal]

michael kay is garbage. LETS GO METS

[pradosalazar]

your mets are garbage METS=choke artists

[centerandcanal]

what are you, a yankees fan?

[pradosalazar]

no im a phillies fan

[centerandcanal]

terrific. listen buddy, i wasn't even talking about a specific team when i said michael kay is garbage. he just happens to be a really bad commentator. at least the mets have some class and don't go popping off every two seconds about other teams

[asstcommish]

as much as i like Kay, his comments about the ovens and slaves were ridiculous

[cyberob12]

Kay knows his baseball and can interview anyone from Joe Namath to Snoop Dogg.

[69videomake69]

fuck u michel kay is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zepman2393]

this is cool, I was actually listening to this live last year. It was the first time I had ever listened to kays radio show, and since listening to this (when it was LIVE) I have never looked at him the same way again, hes kind of a jerk.

[xoxoPuppygal]

he is a freakin jerk

[milliniumstylz]

i love micheal kay.. seeeeeeeeeeeeee yah

[TheShowzOver]

Did Wang get that no hitter? I forget. Just funny because the 2 recent no hitters the Red Sox got (Buchholz and Lester) Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy (Red Sox announcers) never said anything about the no hitter until it was over. Mad funny if Wang didn't get it and Kay was talking about it. Just sounds like he's offended because he screwed the Yanks

[atwater8991]

michael pooped his diaper.

[atwater8991]

Michael Kay is a sachayer who should thank Pa Pinstripe (Sterling) that he even got a job with the Al Yankzeera network. Michael take your poofy hair and go away. You are a joke.

[MWCfan78]

damn! Michael Kay is badass! I've never heard him angry before, he gets loud when he gets mad!

[Bradshaw330]

michael kay is god

[bflags7]

Yo skinn why dont u stick it up your big fat bibly ahole

[manhattanskinn]

Michael kay gets on my last nerve. lets go mets!

[mbcx0x157e]

ha mets are a joke

and how does michael kay get on your "last nerve"? i don't get how a sports announcer can get on your last nerve ...

[shiznato31]

youre not even using periods u dumb fuckin whore...what do u kno about baseball you dumb bitch?

[shiznato31]

bflags wat the fuck are you talking about what do you know your prob one of those kids who only checks his fantasy team

[mbcx0x157e]

um... use periods to seperate your sentences didn't you learn that in 1st grade

[bflags7]

haha completely agree with michael kay. These guys are morons. Baseball gods? What does him saying therr being a no hitter have to do with anything the pitcher does.
