During the top of the first Sunday…big time paraphrasing:
The Mets are wearing their alternate black road uniform tops today at the behest of Charlie Samuels. Charlie was all hopped up yesterday that they won while wearing the non-Mets black uniforms.
Then either Howie or Wayne said that it’s funny that you never hear from Charlie when the Mets lose in black uniforms.
While we’re talking about Howie – what a fine play by play guy he has become. He was never awesome on Sportschannel where he was burdened with Fran Healy, but since becoming the main voice of the Mets following Murph’s death, Howie has really hit his stride.
Howie was born in 1954 so hopefully we will get another 20 years out of him. It also means he was a young man when he was hosting Mets Extra.
It’s great having a real Mets fan in the booth, not a paycheck fan like Sterling (seriously, if Sterling became the voice of the Diamonbacks, suddenly Arizona would be a shrine).
Every time I hear Suzyn genuflect at the beginning of the game I throw up. Can you imagine someone having to say “and now here he is, the VOICE of the New York Mets – Mr. Bob Murphy?”..and yeah I understand Mr. Murphy wasn’t the nicest person to work with either.
