Met-Loving Big Shots 2010

One way or the other, it's a gutsy move. I give him points, though I'd go with 17-Lima.

[metirish]

I would never tuck , but I'm not gay either.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Unless I'm 15 again and in full uniform, same here.

But then, I don't have his obliques. Fierce!

[Guest themetfairy]

So long as he's wearing a Mets jersey, I don't care how he wears it.

Ding, ding! If you're not wearing baseball pants, leave it untucked.

None of these shout-outs has made me smile as much in a good long while*. Damn right, MLBSes name their dunks.

*Okay, Kagan was a big one, too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Kagan names her dunks also.

MFYs

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That doesn't surprise me, what with their Tony Danza housekeepers milfy single moms and gay kids.

[Guest Edgy DC]

She's a lame duck so we might want to get our endorsement in early.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Teixeiruhr?"

[Theoldmole]

Does this mean that Lady Gaga is or isn't?

I guess the fans were not gaga over Gaga. If she has a real rooting interest in baseball I say Mets. She would not fit in with the MFY'ers.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Boooo!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Yeah, we're on thisin a different thread.

If I tuck, it's going to be like the killer in "Silence of the Lambs." That's my tuck move.

Would you tuck me? I'd tuck me.

Nicely played, my friend.

Jerry Seinfeld re-unites with buddy Keith Hernandaze in the Met booth on Wednesday. Scheduled to bring three innings of booth time vs. the Tigers. I think Ronnie is out.

Will have to remember to put Howie and Wayne on that night.

Jerry is in the city because he's producing and directing the new Colin Quinn show.

Jerry Seinfeld re-unites with buddy Keith Hernandaze in the Met booth on Wednesday. Scheduled to bring three innings of booth time vs. the Tigers. I think Ronnie is out.

June 17, 2010, 10:00 pm Master of the Mets� Domain By KEN BELSON Every Father�s Day, dads get barbecues, neckties and golf tchotchkes. Then there is the gift Jerry Seinfeld will get this year. His wife, Jessica, has arranged for Seinfeld to take part in a broadcast of a Mets game, his longtime dream. On Wednesday, when the Mets play the Detroit Tigers at Citi Field, Seinfeld will spend at least three innings in the SNY broadcast booth with Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez. Seinfeld�s appearance will be a reunion of sorts. In 1992, Hernandez was the centerpiece of the two-part episode on �Seinfeld� called �The Boyfriend.� In the episode, Seinfeld sheepishly befriended his baseball hero, Hernandez. But their friendship fell apart after Hernandez dated Jerry�s ex-girlfriend, Elaine. The final straw came when Hernandez asked Jerry to help him move his furniture. Seinfeld and Hernandez have met infrequently since the episode aired. Seinfeld spent six more years on the show and has been busy raising a family. Hernandez has worked as a baseball commentator for years. But Hernandez said his appearance on the episode, which popularized phrases like �magic loogie� and �second spitter,� continues to resonate with fans, including many who never saw him play baseball. �It gave me a second shelf life, it�s just incredible,� Hernandez said of his role, which came after he retired from baseball. �I have people who still stop me in airports and ask me what it�s like to kiss Elaine, and yell, �Nice game, pretty boy.� � Apropos of his off-the-cuff broadcasting style, Hernandez said he expects to ask Seinfeld only one prepared question: What did you really think of my performance on the show? Nearly 20 years later, Hernandez refuses to watch the episode �because I thought I stunk.� Ron Darling, Hernandez�s fellow commentator and ex-teammate on the Mets, will have the night off on Wednesday. But in a bit of intrigue, Darling said he was asked to appear on that �Seinfeld� episode before Hernandez but turned down the part because he did not want to upset his then-wife, who was struggling to land acting jobs. Seinfeld, who declined to comment for this article, is a devout Mets fan. He has a suite at Citi Field, has thrown out the first pitch and often mentioned the Mets on his show. A Mets cap hung in the corner of his New York apartment on the show. Seinfeld has long wanted to help call a game. As a surprise, his wife contacted her friend, whose husband is Gary Apple, an announcer at SNY. Apple passed on the request to the senior vice president for production, Curt Gowdy Jr., who quickly embraced the idea. �I said why not,� Gowdy said. �He�s a cultural icon and a huge Mets fan.� Gary Cohen, the Mets� play-by-play announcer, may have the toughest job on Wednesday. In addition to calling the game, he will have to moderate the conversation between Seinfeld and Hernandez, two baseball nuts who make their living cracking jokes. �I don�t know what it�s going to be like, but I know that Jerry is the funny one, and I don�t want to get in his way,� Cohen said. �I�ll interject a little play-by-play and just let it flow.�

I remember Toni Darling. She kinda struck me as a bit of a diva.
