Message: [QUOTE="donniesyracuse, post: 1732530, member: 101"] John Sterling is not off to a good start this season. I will confess that I have disliked him since he started doing games for the Yankees in 1989, but I have always felt that he is a competent announcer (even with all of his premature home run calls). For the most part, he has made me feel like I know what is happening on the field. As a failed former radio guy, I envy his talents and his amazing set of pipes. His play-by-play abilities have declined gradually in recent years and now, this season he is a mess. I'm not sure if it is due to off-season rust, his eye sight, or his brain working more slowly, but he is making constant mistakes. He is not a professional level play-by-play guy right now. If he continues at this rate, I think CBS Radio/Yankees will have to make a change before the end of the season. I don't post this to pile on the guy. I take no pleasure in watching old age rob someone of his or her abilities. [/QUOTE]
