I posted on April 29th about the excess in Yankee coverage. Since that time, you had a Yankees guest on April 30th, (I wasn't available to listen on May 1), and I turned on XM 175 at 1:00 CDT and I get Jayson Stark talking about the Yankees. It is now 1:25 CDT and I turned the XM off. It may be my loss, but I can't take it anymore.
I get that they have the largest payroll, and because they are in the largest media market, statistically more people will care about them than the rest of baseball.
But enough Yankee coverage, please? Or how about at least until they are competitive again. You are giving the short-shrift to the other 29 teams.
