Memo to New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner: When you’re done tossing Joe Torre, the best Yankee manager of my 47 years, in the trash like a piece of rotten meat, please, please throw Yankee fans a bone and get rid of Suzyn Waldman!

The Yankees radio broadcaster sniffled all over whatever shreds of professional dignity she had left last night, crying on the air while “reporting” from the Yankee locker room after the season ended last night. You can hear it here.

Waldman is, of course, little more than a Yankee fan with a microphone. Her gleeful “oh my goodness” rant during the Roger Clemens returns announcement was embarrassing to anyone who follows the Yankees.

Now this.

C’mon, George! Do us all a favor. Get rid of the screaming, sniffling insufferable Waldman and give anyone who listens to Yankee games a break.
