Keith Olbermann's Panties in a Bunch over Yankees' Dumping him

The NY Post reported that the universally adored Keith Olbermann was dumped as Yankees Old-Timers Game color man due to Twitter:

"The Yankees were not happy with Olbermann posting a photo on Twitter earlier this season of a coach signaling pitches to their batters in the on-deck circle. So they decided to bounce the liberal loudmouth and will have Bob Wolff and Suzyn Waldman provide the commentary for today’s game instead."

Keith responded on his blog:

“On a personal level, however, I do know that I have a legitimate complaint in one respect. Old Timers’ Day is today, and I’ve been doing the “color” on the public address system for the last ten years, and one year prior to that as well (not the play-by-play; that is, obviously, entirely the province of Hall of Famer Bob Wolff and it’s my honor to sit next to him; Suzyn Waldman has usually been with us to do Old Timers’ interviews during the game). After eleven years of doing this, I think it would’ve been fitting if the Yankees had told me rather than let me hear it from somebody outside their organization the week before the event.”

“I can’t vouch for the legitimacy of the motive described in The Post because this is the first time I’m hearing about it.”

On a personal level, wouldn't it have been fitting if Keith had asked where his contract was when he still didn't have it, one week before the event?
