There are so many reasons baseball is unwatchable (it’s boring, the games are too long, half inning interviews by Gelbs) – many fans noticed that the audio was often (always?) ahead of the video on SNY Mets games….and that Gary Cohen often seemed like Nostradamus on his calls.
Just now, I read an awesome thread on twitter about the virtual-ads-boards on NHL telecasts, which I recommend you all read as it is quite educational and insightful. One tweet in particular caught my eye…
So that makes me thing (a) we aren’t crazy, and (b) the “SNY actually sucks” premise to all this isn’t that for off.
As for my SNY dig – ask yourself, do you like SNY or do you like Keith Hernandez? I bet you like Keith Hernandez. (Those who are honest will admit the Gary/Ron booth has shockingly little chemistry), I know there has been a legend created about SNY and how it’s awesome….but it it? Is the shoulder programming good, or does it happen to be next to the show that Keith Hernandez is on?
I realize these are difficult questions and the sort of thing people aren’t supposed to say in public…but be honest…Keith is the straw that stirs the SNY drink. And the audio is ahead of the video.
