The David Cone said what? Thread

[Yankees13]

"I OWNED YOU!!"

lol

Hahaha, better hope Thomas doesn't go all Milton Bradley on him.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

On the Jeter sac fly he tried to say "hold your breath," but it sounded more like "hold your breast." Oh Coney..

[4bronxbombers]

Singleton: "Sidney Ponson spent the All-Star break in his native Aruba." Cone: "Yeah, and he got back safe, too!"

Cone went on to say he thought Sir Sid "had a little Boomer in him."

Sounded like he tried to wiggle out of that one after he said it.

[shum87nyy]

His passion is genuine. But he speaks in such a "Whoa, dude!" way. Almost everything he describes is done with this guttural inflection:

"Kenny, look at the spin on that pitch. So tigggght!"
"Kenny, look at the way Giambi doooove for that ball. What grrrrreat effort!"
"Kenny, look at the way Matsui drrrrives the bat through the hitting zone!"
"Kenny, I've never seen anyone grrrrrab the sunflower seeds with that much paaaassion!"

It's almost comical.

He doesn't say "Kenny". He calls him Singy ...LOL

One of his favorite sayings: And you're right Micheal.... (then he backs up Kays statement)
And you're right Singy...

It goes something like this:
Kay or Kenny: And pettite strikes out .... with a great breaking pitch.
David: "And you're right micheal, you can see .... just bail out on that slider, nasty slider there by Andy petitte"


He says it all the time

lol

I hate Cone as an announcer, but I died laughing at that.

Yeah, he does! I've changed my post from Kenny to Singy. Thanks.

And you're right, Shum (sorry, couldn't resist), he does say "and you're right" an awful lot.

[Dr. Gonzo]

he is great, i appreciate the levity especially versus kay's pretencious nature.

[NYYfan24]

I'm sure many fans don't miss him...but where is Michael Kay these days??
Hasn't been on in a while.

[Seth]

I think he said on his radio show that he's on a 2 week vacation in the Hamptons. He'll probably be back for at least the Boston series next weekend if not sooner.

Cone is at his best when Kay gives him openings to say something dumb, so I hope he gets back from the Hamptons soon. Also where is Oneill?

[Seth]

Also where is Oneill?

When the Yankees were out in Oakland, Singleton mentioned something about O'Neill being on vacation with his family in Italy. I think the last time O'Neill worked a Yankee game was in early May during the Cleveland series at the Stadium.

[shum87nyy]

Yeah, he does! I've changed my post from Kenny to Singy. Thanks.

And you're right, Shum (sorry, couldn't resist), he does say "and you're right" an awful lot.

Finally someone who agrees! lol

I love it! I love his excitement even though, yes, it is almost comical. I also love that he makes these crazy comments like about Ponson getting back from Aruba safe - it's funny because it's true!

[BillBuckner]

They need to lock Coney up for a long, long time as the main color guy.

[shum87nyy]

You got that right.

He reminds me of the Scooter a little, anyone agree?? They both Speak/Spoke whatever comes/came to their minds, and just say it straight out...

[Mean Linguine]

He's good. He can relate on many levels. He was a near Hall of Fame pitcher, great with the media, one-time party boy, pitched a perfect game, had a health scare that almost shortened his career and life, played on a lot of teams, played in the WS and All-Star game.
He can pretty much give an opinion about anything, because he's already been there.

[LDG]

This exchange cracked me up yesterday:

Kenny: Well, that was a weird play...
Coney: What, the 'ol 9-5-6 force out at second?

[YanksFaninMass]

I've only seen Coney recently on the DirecTV free preview. He seems WAY more at home now than he did back in the spring. In addition to the "What, the 'ol 9-5-6 force out at second?", he also was tickled at the movement on one of Pettitte's pitches...as he was cracking up I think he called it something like a "cutterooo"...Good stuff!!!

[shum87nyy]

I tell you, he REALLY reminds me of Scooter... Both just say whatever comes to mind. Coney's way too good!

[Derek2HOF]

This is becoming one of my favorite threads. Cone is fantastic! He makes me laugh at least a couple of times a game.

[R.V.47]

They need more Cone and a lot less Leiter.

[bcom33]

Cone, O'Neill and Singleton is a sick combination in my opinion. Just let Kenny call the plays and Paulie and Coney can banter away.

[NYCrusader]

1. A la

[SHORTSTOP 4 LIFE]

Awesome Thread!!

I'd love to throw in my comments in the mix.

I'll go on record saying I like Coney best with Kaye and FLASH Flahtery! How many times have we heard, "College?!?!?!" I got my education on a bar on 2nd Avenue."

I love when he asks annoying questions and Flash replies, "Well, David..."

Coney is the man - period! I find myself making Coney references throughout the day. "That was soooo tiiighhhhttt."

I pumpppeedddd he's doing the Sox series this weekend. Can't wait! What will he say next??

[shum87nyy]

Cone, O'Neill and Singleton is a sick combination in my opinion. Just let Kenny call the plays and Paulie and Coney can banter away.

HELL YA!!! something like this:

Kenny: Look out! Al, what did that pitch look like?
Al: you could see he had a grip of that 4-seamer, tried to go in but came to close.
Cone: And you're right Al (or "singy"), you can see that 4 seam grip, but came in waaaay too tiiighhttt.

Damn I love this thread!
