"Kelly killed it" A two run home run for Kelly Johnson and the Yankees take a 4-3 lead on Sports Radio 66 and 101.9 FM WFAN!
Yes, we must never forget that this is merely spring training. The home run calls don't count. Nobody will remember John Sterling's joyful cry in Tampa, long after its been fine tuned or replaced in New York City. Like Joe Girardi, The Master is moving chess pieces, trying various lineups, studying his binder... looking for what works - and what doesn't.
Kelly killed it... no. NO.
Unless I'm missing something - a Broadway show tune from 1935? - there is no musical, literary, societal, political, theological, spiritual or emotional application for "Kelly killed it." It's alliteration. That's all. In fact, if you're doing alliteration, a simple trip to Roget's will bring forth better chances. Kelly crushes it, Kelly clobbers it, Kelly canes it, Kelly creams it, Kelly cleans it, Kelly caps it, Kelly catapults it, Kelly castigates it, Kelly caluminates it, Kelly castrates it...
Let's remember: It's early. Kelly Johnson might not make the Yankee starting lineup. Right now, The Master is working himself into playing shape.
Let's hope Kelly hits a few more this month, just to give John a second shot at the binder.
Kelly kills it? Horrible and lazy. We expect more from the Master of the Microphone
ReplyDelete"Might not make the starting roster" he's 100% opening day 3B, unless he gets injured. Him and Sizemore are making the roster
ReplyDeleteThese horrible calls are the fault of the Yankees. If they could field a steady roster year after year then the Maestro would have time to hone these calls into masterpieces.
ReplyDeleteA Kellosimo shot
ReplyDeleteHoly Kapowski - Kelly crushed that one to Bayside!!!
ReplyDeleteKelly kills it has double alliteration going for it. Plus it sustains Sterling's morbid preoccupation with homicidal imagery, most memorably etched into the baseball lexicon with "An A-Bomb from Arod." Granted, Kelly kills it lacks the genocidal grandeur of the Arod call, but it sustains the same line of taste-free dementia.
ReplyDeleteKelly wasn't smelly!
ReplyDeleteKelly Johnson...Kelly Johnson...
ReplyDeleteDo you think maybe he had something better using the guy's last name but his high moral standards drove him to using Kelly instead?
A GRUBER from Kelly!
ReplyDeleteA+ on the Kelly Kapowski reference.
ReplyDeleteKelly bangs a Jeter! Oh wait, that's Minka Kelly. Either way, a young girl goes home with a souvenier ball.
