Yankees have the opportunity to go on the funniest losing streak
The wording of the first half of this tweet gave me a fucking heart attack.
Bro what kind of start to a headline is that I almost shit myself
As a european yankees fan with mlbtv: My Nights just got a whole lot better
A Stantonian retirement
Coming out of retirement just to call two losses in the WC round
He probably figures “hey it’s only 2 games, why not”
Imagine thinking the Yankees are gonna make the playoffs. Couldn’t be me

Great, he can call Holmes blowing two saves against the Royals.
His one stipulation is that the Yankees have to stop using Holmes as the closer.
Boone: *sweats profusely*
Don’t worry Sterling, yankees will be out in the first round
just to lose to houston
OF ALL THE DRAMATIC THINGS
JOHN STERLING IS IN WFAN’S BOX!
OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS
But in all seriousness, Sterling has hinted that while he doesn’t regret retiring, he regretted leaving the way he did, without any fanfare or closure. Call one last postseason, THEN he’s done.
I don’t see this small return as hindering the chances of his replacements, most of whom are not as good as him anyway (Rickie is great but he’s also the Spanish broadcaster)
Now what did I miss? He’s still at first…
Retirement at WFAN is basically a long vacation…. lol
That’s baseball Suzyn
Dear lord I thought he fucking died for a second.
I’m trying to imagine a more awful way to announce something.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: John-Wayne Gacy Sterling, 86, wanted for counts of balls and strikes on Yankees radio broadcasts.
This headline was like the “he’s gonna be all right” doctor but reversed
Hey at least he’s getting a proper chance to say goodbye to the fans when the Yankees season ends in the postseason.
