Circle The Warbles, Mr. Sterling Is Under Attack

I think we may have a lead on why John Sterling is mailing it in this season.

SI's Richard Deitsch, citing Tom Verducci, wrote that "Harwell had an understated elegance, which has become a 'lost art given the audacious trumped-up signature calls and desire to be noticed in broadcasting today.' (Here's looking at you, John Sterling)."

Will 2010 be Sterling's Last Stand?

Careful, Joey G.

A friendly word of advice from your pals here at It Is High: Please be careful with the press, Joe, especially when it comes to players and injuries. You might be able to get away with testiness and lack of openness in Opa-Locka or Coral Gables — though you didn't — but in that movable media feast that is the New York Yankees, you don't wanna get on the wrong side of the ink-stained wretches.

Peter Abraham. Mark Feinsand. Tyler Kepner. Sweeny Murti. THOSE guys.

Take care of them or they will take care of you.
