YES adds Curry to on-air staff
ByIn early December, long-time New York Times baseball writer Jack Curry took a buyout offer and departed from the Gray Lady. Today, we learn that Curry will join the YES Network as a Yankees studio analyst, YES program contributor and website columnist. “I look forward to this new chapter of my career, and am eager to contribute to YES on air and online,” Curry said in a statement. “I’m eager to provide insight and information to our television viewers and Web readers.”
Curry started at The Times in 1987 and began covering the Yanks in 1991. In 1998, he took over as the paper’s national baseball writer, and over the last 18 years, he has appeared on TV during Yankee pre-game shows on both MSG and the YES Network. Now, he’ll serve as Bob Lorenz’s sidekick. “He will be a tremendous addition to our Emmy Award-winning multi-platform Yankees coverage,” John Filippelli, YES’ president of production and programming said, “and will complement Bob Lorenz, our pre- and post-game host, extremely well in the studio.”

Curry any good as a sportswriter?
I’ve always enjoyed his work. He has his flaws but he’s better than most in the New York area.
He’s also got a great rack.
No, wait… that’s Ann Curry. My bad.
The newscaster? Whaaa?

I can’t believe the Warriors drafted him RIGHT BEFORE THE KNICKS!

Boom. Instant Pictogram. You’re welcome.
I don’t get it.
Mark Melancon is Powder.

Jack + Curry + Powder.
Hang on a sec, I’ve got a new one lined up for the open thread. You’ll enjoy it.

Then it’s Jack + Curry + Powder. I get it. Never knew that to be Melancon’s nickname.
He’s mad palez, yo.
I don’t mind him. I wouldn’t mind seeing him do some games too.
Just because one can write about the game doesn’t mean one can call a game.
(fighting the urge to say something)
Well I guess it looks like YES just got a little spicier!!!
I’d still rather have Coney over Curry.
Good hire. Now bring back David Cone.
