What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Paul Lukas has the story of what’s wrong and how it came to be wrong. This is a must read folks, and it’s more than just LOLmets.
What’s wrong?
Can it be fixed?
And you other sites, don’t whore Paul’s story. Do the right thing and link.
Nice enough I guess.
Last week #TheNarrative was that Gary Cohen called an amazing inning when the Mets came back to beat the Phillies. Maybe he did, I didn’t see it.
What I do see, is Gary mail in almost all his home run calls. He goes into Gary Sterling mode using his catch phrase It is High, It Is Far To The Track To The Wall It’s Outta Here.
Here’s an example, although this isn’t as lazy as some of his calls.

Verdict: Sterling
So what makes that frustrating is that Gary CAN do this…

That’s a great call Gary. Everything about it. Do THAT. Don’t be John Sterling. Don’t get into Cooperstown via Ford Frick just by doing this into your 80s. EARN IT with great calls like this one.
Verdict: Scully
This stopped being interesting years ago. At least the gray almost matches the gray on the tops.
In a somewhat vague (for privacy?) blog, Jay Horwitz shares
John (Stearns) is currently in as assisted living facility in Denver and he is battling a tough disease.
For those of us raised on the late 70s Mets, Stearns is one of our all time favorites. I wish Mr. Stearns nothing but the best.
