OK Gary defenders. This to me sure looks like proof that Gary mails in home run calls just like John Sterling.
Supposedly describing every call as “To the track, to the wall, its Outta Here” is somehow different than “It is High It Is Far, It is Gone”
I want you to watch this clip closely.
It appears that Gary has decided that the ball is “outta here” but rather than watch it and describe it, he has his head in his scorebook. I get that TV is not radio, but this sure looks like someone runs right for his catchphrase as I have been pointing out for a long time now.
Gary is tremendously overrated, and Keith and Ron carry him. SNY should have hired Wayne. Instead, I propose to you that Gary is actually a Net Negative in the booth. if he isn’t going to actually watch the play we might as well edit some old Bob Murphy home run calls and let Ron play them off a soundboard.
Mendoza is a first-year manager and while he has handled himself well and forged strong relationships with his bosses, clubhouse and reporters, his team has played sloppily. At some point that reflects on the manager. And, for sure, unprofessional behavior by players does as well. This is a moment when Mendoza needed his bosses’ support because it was so clear how perturbed he was by what Lopez had done, so clear that he felt this is the kind of behavior that cannot be accepted without raising consideration that the manager has lost control.
Let me remind you:
Despite the spin, the Mets wanted Counsell, and Mendoza was the quick patch. Steve says Stearns had nothing to do with firing Buck. Buck is on Steve. Mendoza is on Stearns.
Steve Cohen’s Mets are losers — and so is apparently his Queens casino bid, at least for now.
State Sen. Jessica Ramos — who represents the Flushing-Corona area where Cohen wants to erect an $8 billion “Metropolitan Park” casino-entertainment complex — says she will not introduce legislation allowing the billionaire clubhouse owner to obtain a permit needed for his project to go forward.
In a statement, the representative of the common man said:
“I will not introduce legislation to alienate parkland in Corona for the purposes of a casino. Whether people rallied for or against Metropolitan Park, I heard the same dreams for Corona. We want investment and opportunity, we are desperate for green space, and recreation for the whole family. We disagree on the premise that we have to accept a casino in our backyard as the trade-off. I resent the conditions and the generations of neglect that have made many of us so desperate that we would be willing to settle.
I have drafted an alternative alienation bill that strikes a balance and would allow Mr. Cohen and Hard Rock to build a convention center and hotel, and more than double the proposed open green space. The parcel in question is in strategic proximity to LaGuardia Airport, and allows for visitors and tourists to feed into our vibrant food scene while addressing the consequence of climate change in the area. Mr. Cohen and Hard Rock would still make a profit, albeit less. I hope my Assembly counterpart will consider this proposal so we can bring it to the Governor’s office and get to work. I recommend the City amend the lease to collect revenue from propertytax and allow for speedy renovation of this parcel. Mr. Cohen and his team have often declared their love for our community and said theyrecognize our potential. Finding a path forward would be a good way to show it.”
I am less excited than I was initially. I still don’t see why we are giving parkland to a billionaire to build anything. If he wants to make the area better then let’s let him build A PARK.
Anyway, his bluff has been called. Let’s see if he is still interested in the hotel business.
Let me ask you this. If my friends the Mets were moving tickets at all, would they do a single admission doubleheader against the Dodgers, the most star-based team in baseball and theoretically a good draw?
