How Mets reporters spent the off-season
Just saw a video clip showing how some New York Mets reporters spent their off-season:
Come on, even Kevin Burkhardt?!? LOL
Jerry Seinfeld calls a Mets game on SNY with Gary and Keith
Jerry Seinfeld was in the SNY broadcast booth for the Mets game against the Detroit Tigers today, calling the game and reminiscing about Seinfeld and Lady Gaga’s recent antics with Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez.
Not only was Jerry Seinfeld absolutely hilarious, but he also was really good at calling the game AND providing color comedy commentary!
Seinfeld also discussed Keith Hernandez’ memorable guest appearance on Seinfeld, as SNY came back from break with a couple of clips.
Here are some choice exchanges between the trio from the event:
SEINFELD: “This is the greatest booth in baseball… 1-2 on Johnny Damon…. Gary Cohen is the greatest broadcaster… the best booth”
“I don’t want to do play-by-play. I’m here for the color Mets comedy.”
ME: “Wow, Jerry Seinfeld actually does some great play-by-play. Ron Darling better watch out! His seat is in danger! LOL”
SEINFELD: “Speaking of innovative at first base… Who was more innovative at first base than Keith Hernandez?”
“I dont think there’s anything more fun than being a Mets fan.They have 2 World Championships but they are two of the most exciting a team can have.”
“When are we going to talk about Lady Gaga, that’s why I’m here.”
“Well we don’t understand the kids today & the music business. Maybe, I’m sure we’ll all be bigger fans now that she cursed us out.”
“She should make a nice apology to the Mets fans… then I’m willing to forget the whole thing.”
“Is that Johnny Damon in center?!? What is he doing out there? He can’t cover THAT much ground!”
“Why are the Tigers EVEN HERE?!?”
And when Mets on-field reporter Kevin Burkhardt made a reference to wearing a shirt to the game from the J. Peterman catalog in Seinfeld’s honor (a Seinfeld reference), Jerry replied right back:
“Don’t do my stuff, Kevin.”
I think Gary, Keith, and Ron should have Jerry Seinfeld on once (or twice) EVERY season and make it a yearly Seinfeld Night! So hilarious!
2010 Mets: A case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The 2010 Mets have proven to suffer from a most severe case of Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome: namely that they are brilliant while playing at home and absolutely terrible while playing on the road.
How bad is the split? An almost schizophrenic 21-9 at Citi Field vs. 8-18 on the road.
A most mysterious case...
Let’s hope the Mets can turn it around on the road… just think where that would take them!
Gary Matthews Jr. designated for assignment… 3 months later
After using Gary Matthews Jr. to pinch-hit in almost every single game, despite a .190 batting average and 1 measly RBI, the Mets finally got rid of him. Only 3 months too late on this one, guys…
Jose Reyes’ 1000th hit!
