I left Siberia Field during the bottom of the 7th inning on Saturday* and was able to catch some of the game in the car. Once again, it was a Howie-less booth, and as I mentioned in the spring, a Howie-less booth exposes some flaws.
Wayne’s call of the interference play was beyond bad. Never mind that it may have been a confusing call (was it? I only have Wayne’s description) but before the umpires ruled anything I had no idea what was happening. A ball was in play, runners were running somewhere, they some sort of confusion. I had zero idea what was happening and who was involved – and that was before the umpires even called anything.
I’m not doing this justice – which means I can work a booth with Howie – did anyone hear it? Can you help me put words to what I heard? Do Mets Audio Highlights exist anywhere?

I had a full weekend as SuperDaddy – I’m behind on some emails, thanks for sending in and I will catch up as soon as I can. Thanks!
