    Tino to team up with Sterling over weekend

    Last night, at the end of the radio broadcast John Sterling announced that for Friday's game, he will have a "special guest" sharing the radio booth in the name of Tino Martinez.

    Suzyn will be off.

    That's cool. I'll definitely make it a point to tune in whether I'm in the car or even at home.

    Tino has really gotten better on ESPN as the season has progressed. I'm sure Suzyn is familiar with Wally Pip...lmao...

    Ooh. A future broadcast team of Sterling and Tino, allowing Suzyn to return to YES. I like.

    That doesn't mean they have to get rid of Kim Jones. Suzyn can do all the interviews and Kim Jones can provide the body shots.

    Please have this move somehow be permanent. Suzyn Waldman is awful and I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.

    I like Suzyn, I think she knows her stuff and provides a lot of useful information. I would MUCH rather listen to Sterling and Suzyn than Kay... I can't stand him

    I'll have to make a point of trying to catch at least part of it ... and I agree, Tino has gotten much better on ESPN as the year has progressed.

    Great move. I've never liked Waldman after she jumped ship on the 1998 Yankees when they were down 2-1 to the Indians. That and the terrible voice.

    Re: Tino to team up with Sterling over weekend

    I'll definately listen. I love hearing Tino talk baseball.

    PS. This is not going to be a permanent thing (not yet anyways) Tino has already accepted a coaching job at the University of South Florida.

    I'm looking forwward to seeing Tino work with Sterling, but I hope it's not going to be a permanant thing. I love Tino as much as anyone, but he's just not that smooth of a broadcaster.

    Tino accepted a job as a coach with the college he went to (I can't think of it off the top of my head). He'll be working there next year, not broadcasting.

    Suzyn said that her broadcasting contract contains a clause that excuses her from doing games on Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur.

    I can't believe she's in the booth - my only problem with her is her voice - but boy is it a problem. Hopefully Tino opens people eyes a bit...

    What is wrong with Tino's wardrobe? I like the suits he wears, especially the midnight blue one with gray pinstripes.

    Re: Tino to team up with Sterling over weekend

    I hope Tino does well..... but I also have a lot of respect for Suzyn, her accomplishments, and what she does.

    Sterling has agreed to allow Tino 5 sentences of no more that 9 words each during the game.

    He already has? Damn...

    I hope he does well in the booth so we can listen to him on a permanent basis.

    Did anyone else listen tonight? I thought TINO did a good job and he LOVES the Yankees. Such a homer and I love it! Suzyn is supposedly coming back tomorrow though.

    I did not like her at all when she was on YES but for some reason I don't find her so bad on the radio. I always thought she talked too fast on TV but haven't found that to be the case on radio so I almost wonder if she got some coaching or something.

    In any event, she is certainly more knowledgable than Kim Jones.

    As you would expect, added a lot of pitching/hitting/player analysis that of course Suzyn cannot credibly, and usually does not, do. Enjoyed listening to him.

    What really came across, as stephsamps said above, was how much he loves NYC and the Yankees. He said he felt that way about the city even when he was with the Mariners.

    I did. I thought Tino did a really good job. I really liked how he said the one thing he really wants is to see Don Mattingly get a ring and have the chance to be in the parade. He then went on to thank George Steinbrenner for giving him the chance to come to the Yanks at just the right time, and he also thanked fans for supporting him and the Yanks.

    Man, I'm so ticked off that I missed it. I adore Tino, as much as sometimes he seems kind of awkward on BBTN (or, you know, not made for TV broadcasting).

    Hmmm, I wonder how his coaching gig will turn out. Maybe he could be a Yankee coach one day...

    He pretty much said he would do anything as long as it was with the Yankees. The man has a love affair, and it is cute as hell!

    I heard a little of Tino while I was driving home from work. Tino has better insight than any non-player can offer. Would much rather hear him on the radio than Suzyn. Only complaint with Tino is that I think he speaks too fast.

    I thought the same thing. Great insight into the nuances of the game but SLOW DOWN. He sounds like the guy from the fedex commercial.

    I think it's something that Tino can work on. I'd love it if he could work Yankee broadcasts on a regular basis. I hope the work he does this weekend gets his interest going.

    He always sounds like he has a cold. Maybe he should see an alllergist or something. I really do not mind Suzyn at all. She has an interesting perspective, does her homework and seems like a genuine person.
