A.P. Discuss SNY Thread

Time for stat checker on Post Game Live after the 7/28 game.

Steve Berthiaume was interviewing Keith after the game and mentioned how good it was that Wright got his first HR since the AS break. Keith then mentioned that Wright had a HR in Chicago.

Steve then threw it down to Chris Cotter who interviewed Wright. Same question: How does it feel to have your first HR since July 9th. David said that actually he had one in Chicago.

After the next commercial break, Steve recapped the game again. Again he mentioned how good it was that David hit a HR since he hadn't had one since the AS break. He then said, "He did have a couple in Pittsburgh...but those don't count."

Jeez, how many times can you get the same thing wrong?

[metirish]

I mean WTF?....that is amazing that Keith did not tell Gary after he said the same thing twice...

[Guest cooby]

Maybe the one in Chicago didn't count either

Not a good day for Keith yesterday.

A pretty big geography slip-up (see the 7/30 IGT).

Gary and Chris talk about how Adam LaRoche suffers from ADD and it's been tough at times for him since reaching the majors.

Keith: "They've got names for everything now, don't they?"
Gary: [says nothing, dead silence, for 5-10 seconds]

[Guest Edgy DC]

Actually, in a shallow Seinfeld sense, that's a pretty funny comment.

Keith's going to hang himself a few more times before he's done, but I'm probably going to enjoy it.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I agree. Keith is a bit of a loose cannon behind the mike, but I find it refreshing and entertaining.

I was stuck with the TBS broadcast yesterday, so I didn't get to hear any of that.

Hey did you guys see that Mets Weakly segment where the 10th grader recorded an updated version of "Meet the Mets"? I gotta say, that kid rocked ass: Respectful of the original, but updated better than than the lame 80s version.

Bring your girlfriend, bring your ex.

[Gwreck]

I forgot the other great moment from yesterday:

Can't remember the context, but something came up about the idea of "women staying at home, cleaning, cooking" or stereotypes to that effect.

Keith: "No comment."
Gary: "Good job."

One or the other will want to have sex?

Five cyberbuxx and a free popcorn to the first one to find the video or the kids myspace page

They were showing the met fan wearing a veil, and her friend - presumably her husband - holding a broom...

Keith made a comment about it being one heck of a honeymoon if she was still wearing her veil, and Gary made a comment about her already doling out the household chores, since he was holding a broom.

Classic.

[metirish]

Yes that was very funny,as a team Gary and Keith get better with each game,hell I'm even starting to warm up to Chris Cotter.

I remember the girl with the veil, but I don't remember the No Comment-Good Job exchange. Must be getting senile.

New York Yankees
We're gonna kick you in the spleens
Cuz we're the M-E-T-S Mets
Represent from Queens

That was some fine adaptin'. The kid even salvaged some lyrics from the eighties version.

Some bad rhymes at the end, and he mistakenly thinks black is one of the Mets colors, but really, better than I've heard in a while.

I cut a song this weekend also.

Edgy and SK similarity ranking - not that high today.

Was your song a Mets song?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not this time.

Wow. I cut a fart this weekend.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Was the tape rolling?

[Willets Point]

Oh lord, my last post is on the top of the page. I have to more careful about letting things like that just slip out in such prominent places.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I can still smell it.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Ick. It smells like squid.

You just like squid-smelling fart jokes.

One advantage to having SNY is simply to give you an alternative to SportsCenter.
Just TRY getting baseball news/highlites via SC on a weekend. Even though the only football games right now are exhibition pro games (oh, excuse me, "Pre-Season" games - the NFL gets all bent out of shape if they're referred to as exhibition) and the earliest of meaningless non-division college games, SC treats those as much more important.
I'm watching SC last night after the game and wind up sitting through 15 minutes worth of the likes of Toledo Univ playing SW Oregon State (or whatever) plus 3rd string pros in games even the guys playing don't care about before they concede to showing 10 or 15 seconds worth of games with direct bearing on the pennant race.

And God forbid if T.O. sneezed or actually uttered something because then there'll need to be 10 minutes of analysis there too.
