SLACKISH REACTION: Hey how about that quality ESPN broadcast? I really enjoyed the constant talking by A-Rod, the strike zone box, the cluttered score bug, throwing it to Buster Olney or whoever the other guy was, the 10 Years Ago This Was Cool ticker on the bottom, and hey did you hear an ex-QB has a TV show? And I didn’t even mention Baseball Operations Expert Jessica Mendoza’s insight into the Mets!
I had it on, then switched to watching Netflix on the big screen with the Mets on the laptop and I gotta tell ya two things – (1) that may be my new move and (2) SNY/Mets need to pay top dollar to keep Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez. Any booth without both of them is a disaster. Yes I said Gary and Keith.
LIFE IS HARD: The Mets have a built in excuse today why they will get one hit. It’s a day game after a night game, in a city two hours away, so some of the Mets (and their hard working beat reporters) may only get six, maybe seven hours sleep. This from the same league that expects people to watch post-season baseball until midnight and then get up six hours later for work. So all of you can STFU and bat every 45 minutes and stand on some grass, or sit in a press box typing. Life is hard.
SO NEGATIVE: so when do you all start acting like you are huge Wilson Ramos fans? How quickly can we make buffalo tees?
The Mets, a fringe playoff team, are 4 games out of the Wild Card, and it’s a nice holiday day game, the way baseball should be played. I’ll have some MHN for you in a minute but I needed to get this out since I slept in……man did I get a ton of sleep….I am sooo sooo rested, it’s nice covering the team from my couch.
I’m actually in a great mood but man this whole “wahhh we worked so late” nonsense gets my goat.
