The David Cone said what? Thread

[Eldee5]

He was singing "Call Me Maybe" in the booth today. You can't make tho stuff up! I'm SO glad he's in the Yankees' booth. One of a kind.

This three-man might be my favorite. Kay is just setting Cone and O'Neill up all day. Cone and Paulie are so much fun to listen to. Such a reprieve from some of the other awful announcers we have.

wait - what inning was that-- I need to go back and listen to that.

I don't remember (sorry!), but I loved how Kay brought up how the Call Me Maybe reference got Cone to trend on Twitter in New York. Paulie and Kay then talked about how out of all the YES guys, Cone was the one most tuned into pop culture. One of them then said something to the extent of when Cone's sons get older, they're going to realize they have a cool dad with lots of stories to tell. Cone replied that he couldn't tell most of his stories, and either Kay or Paulie replied that at a certain age the kids will be able to use Google anyway.

After listening to that clip I believe using the term "singing" is an extremely charitable description of his vocalization.

I think the singing came earlier in the game - that was the recap of what happened. would love to hear the singing.

I hope so for Cone's sake. Hey, at least Sterling can belt out a show tune.

well he has to have some redeeming quality. as for Coney, I'm thinking it was more singing than talking but still not very good.

No, even earlier in the game, he wasn't singing. He just said "here's my number, call me maybe" when the screen was showing the bullpen phone. So you didn't miss any actual singing!

I never said he was good!

I'd gladly settle for a bad attempt at singing by Coney than 3 hours of some of the guys I have to listen to here.

[Eldee5]

Singleton (to Coney): What adjustments do you expect Ichiro to make coming over to the Yankees?
Coney (laughing as he speaks): He's got to adjust to playing on a first place team.


It may get lost in the translation, but it was funny to watch!

he kept talking this weekend about upchuck the boogie..I was waiting for him to do a little Rapper's Delight.

[BronxBombers92]

man, not gonna lie, I could listen to Coney and Singleton do every game

they are a pretty good combo

I enjoy the mutual respect each has for the other's career and the pitcher vs. hitter banter that goes on. Two players who know the game beats dumb*** MK asking stupid questions all night that he already used the series before. The great thing is these two respect the game being played in front of them, even craptastic ones like the Anaheim disasters.

[b-ball-lunachick]

Cone said he was going to get a Twitter account. now he might be worth me joining and following someone. there's a fake Cone account but it's not that funny..here's a link to the fake one:

[b-ball-lunachick]

btw- did I hear Kay say that Cone calls Meredith Marakovits The Rock? Did anyone else hear that?

Oh I think that may've been some of what we heard--I met an old friend on Sunday to watch the game at a bar and he was, like, WTF? This is my friend who works for the State Dept and lives overseas, so I had to explain that it was David Cone etc. and no one knows what he is talking about most of the time. So then he got into a whole 10 minute "HEY CONEY WHY DONT-CHOO HAVE A DANCE" spree...

I think Kay is fine but Coney and Ken are the best we have. Coney might be the best colour guy in the game now. He had a pitch map on the screen last week. He is more than prepared to discuss newer concepts whilst being a fun guy with good stories to tell.

[BronxBombers92]

Great broadcast, but Cone should stop making up high-falutin' sounding words.

"CC is able to really variate that pitch." There is no verb "variate" (except in Italian). Uhh, 'vary' would do fine, David.....end rant.

He's been using it all season. I'm waiting to see if Kay picks it up, too. He loves words that don't exist, too.

"wristage" was the word of the day for Coney this time lol

The play-by-play guy for the Nats uses "serious jammage". I cringe every time.

Bob Carpenter, he uses it WAY too much.

[35Knucklecurve]

Yeah - now that they have a decent team, it seems to get on my nerves even more. I actually wish they'd find someone else. He wouldn't stand a chance with Coney.
