SLACKISH REACTION: The Dark Knight Returned with 6Ks, 2 runs in 5 innings. Not bad right? Actually it was awful if you watched it. The line won’t show it but TDK was terrible again. You guys can’t even blame lack of run support this time.
You people that want to write in Conforto – I know your heart is in the right place but (a) do you think anyone at MLB is counting write in votes in a digital age? or any age? (b) who the hell else has a chance of making the ASG from the Mets. He’s in. Unless the horrible Mets injury bug gets him, and yeah I said it, and yeah you know it will because Mets.
Anyway, as stupid as the Mets were for playing Cespedes with a sore hammy, getting Yo out of Queens for a month opened the door for M.C. So that’s good, right?
I listened to the start of the game on the Padres feed (which has the same commercials issue as all the other feeds, except the Mets feed, which has its own issues) and got into their PBP guy Ted Leitner.
Apparently he’s been around forever without me knowing (can’t say I catch many Padres radio games) but really liked him. He’s very chatty, but what I really liked was his home run call of Conforto. From memory it was…
“Off the bat I thought it was gone……(waits for result)…..and it is!”
Loved it. A nice honest call. Didn’t force in his catch phrase (unless “and it is” said in a calm voice is his catch phrase). I wish more PBP guys would describe home runs and not force slogans.
Speaking of baseball coverage, ICYMI the first installment of You Overproduced This TV Broadcast recaps SNY having Matthew Broderick disrupt the game.
As you may know, the Morning Laziness is unlike Rubin’s old Morning Briefing in that I am not here to link to stupid things. In today’s not-links…
Suddenly the newspaper thinks the Mets have too many good catchers! (Not linking)
A blogger is wondering if Wright will be the next Mets manager. No. Not linking,
