Congrats SNY on big ratings last night, and it was probably the most fun Mets game on TV since 2007. I thought it was more entertaining than even Santana’s no-hitter. People even got to hear Ronnie say what sure sounded like “friggin’.”
I am sure Mr. Boras will also be pleased to see his client can move both gate and TV ratings. That’s 2019’s problem, for now we enjoy!
