Oh Curtis, you're something sort of Grandish???

PrintIs John Sterling serious? Honestly, I think we as loyal members of Pinstripe Alley need to change the home-run slogan. Nobody listening to 880 wants it said 30-times a season(I'm being optimistic here). So what do you guys recommend? What should be Granderson's home-run slogan?
I'll start off: "A Graaand hit from Curtis Granderson."
If you can say "Oh Cano, don't you know", then I think mine is fine. What do you guys recommend?

Agree. Granderson should refrain from hitting any more homers until this issue is dealt with appropriately.
I suggest either-
A dandy for Grandy. (This suck as well, but it sounds Sterling-esque); or
The Melkman del… oops, a home run for the new guy.

Yeah, this is pretty bad.
I was fully prepared for “You’re a Grand Person, Grand-erson!” and I thought it couldn’t get worse. But it did. However, the more times I hear it in clutch situations, the happier I am.
Didn't he say
“The Grandyman Can”? last night?
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
I wish he did
That’d be a lot better than “Oh Curtis, you’re something sort of Grandish”. He might’ve said it later, but this was what he said first.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

How about..
A Grand one, from Granderson.
It could have the same inflections as the A-bomb from A-Rod.
Personally
I was hoping someone would utilize the “Grand Central” thing. That’s what I’m calling it anyway.
A home run departing Grand Central.

This is off topic but
Can someone explain to me how Johnson got 4 balls?
I like it when people say jock strap and to the batmobile.Want to see my bubble gum? For those who do not know my ball sack is my bubble gum. I took a penis enhancement pill and now I have to walk on stilts.
Just remember it's Sterling
and not Suzyn Waldman making the call. Always be grateful for that

Well 'ya know John
A lot of Granderson’s walk-off homers seem to come from the 9th inning onwards.

Choo Choo The ball has left "Grand"erson Central
or something to that effect
Thats the best Sterling came up with?
all this anticipation, all the possibilities with his name, and he arrives at that?
Not your best work Sterling. I’d work on a new one. But who knows? Maybe it’ll catch on.
I like “A GRANDERSLAM” or something that uses the “Grand Central” or “Grandy” nickname for him.
Not his best work. But hardly his worst either. Which is why I sometimes cry when I’m driving and listening to the ball game.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
That ball is high......it is far........it is CAUGHT
by the shortstop!
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
I’m still waiting for the correcting on Melky’s “3 run homerun” caught by the left fielder (Colorado 2008?).
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Maybe when playing at home
“AND THAT BALL IS OFF TO GRAND CENTRAL, GOODBYE!”
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
Sterling-Waldman
I’m just glad that if I should want to listen to the game on the radio, that I have Sirius and they no longer carry the CBS feed so I don’t have to listen to either of them.. People make fun of them. I’m surprised they have such a bad team of broadcaster’s for the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports.
The announcers are a reflection of the fans' tastes. If people complained or the ratings dropped, Moskowitz and Waldman would be gone.
If you think they suck, all you can do is congratulate yourself for your superior discernment. Or organize a boycott, or call- in campaign.

New York fans
have no way of getting their broadcasts. If there was a choice between two radio stations calling Yankee games, then the ratings would probably drop by a lot.
I wasn’t calling out the broadcasting team either, I’m fine with them. I just think the Granderson home-run call was laughable.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on 680 right now
Sterling is on WFAN getting his butt kissed by the midday chuckleheads. as a yanks fan in Geirgia, I don’t often get to “enjoy” Sterling’s tired and contrived Bermanesque act.
“The Granyman can” is the best anyone can hope for.
