Michael Kay's eye was bleeding...

Found something very odd and disturbing today on my most favorite site, Fire Joe Morgan. It's a piece from Yankees announcer Michael Kay's radio show where a caller calls in and accuses him of jinxing Chien-Ming Wang's perfect game earlier this season by talking about it while it was happening.

Kay then goes all sorts of crazy because he doesn't think an announcer can control what happens on the field and compares it to slavery and the Holocaust. I can't make shit like this up, so you'll have to listen to it for yourself.

But I do agree with Michael. I know there's an unwritten rule in baseball that you shouldn't talk about a perfect game while it's going on so that you don't jinx it, but that's stupid.
If a perfect game is going to happen, there's nothing an announcer or someone that's watching the game can do to affect it.

The best part is when Kay questions if there's any God at all in this world and then after some silence, the other guy replies : "I think your eye is bleeding.."

I mean, the thought of Kay sitting in studio while his eye is actually bleeding from all the anger that is fermenting in his body...that's just priceless. I can't put into words how great that is.
I know the feeling though. My eyes bleed constantly from anger...
It's called watching the Atlanta Braves pitching staff this year.
