Yanks & Friends: 10 subtle changes in YES now that Fox News owns the network

Posted by el duque at 8:23 AM

Hidden within the money avalanche that landed Masahiro Tanaka is exciting news for Yankee/ Tea Party fans: From now on, 80 percent of YES – up from 49 percent – will be owned by Rupert Murdoch, the guy who recently divorced the one woman on the planet who will ever take a pie for him.

This could mean changes in YES programming. 

1.  "Center Stage with Michael Kay" questions David Ortiz’ birth certificate.
2.    New feature: Live 7th inning analysis from Governor Palin.
3.   Yankee "loss" refuted by Karl Rove.
4.   David Cone and Paul O'Neill replaced by Kate Upton and Brooklyn Decker
5.  When Cano appears, boos attributed to Jumbotron image of Hillary Clinton.
6.  Double-header questioned as part of ongoing "War on Fourth of July." 
7.  Nationwide survey shows most YES viewers believe Yankees won 2013 World Series.
8.  Teixeira’s slow-healing wrist blamed on Obamacare.
9.  In ninth inning of loss to Redsocks, network switches to incredible new developments on Benghazi.
10.  Roger Ailes offers Suzyn $100 weekly pay raise for sex.

Hope we don't have to endure even more celebrity interviews during games (e.g. the flagrant commercial appearance of Adam Sandler last year). If Fox will keep better focus on the games, I am all in favor of the change. If not, I will turn down the volume on YES and pot up the Master and his sidekick, what's her name.
