Oh, Susan, let's Sterlingize the Mets!

HahnSolo's ponderings in the Francoeur thread got me thinking how Sterling would call the Mets.

Bring out your best cheese!

Is this really the kind of stuff he does?

[Centerfield]

Yes. It's even better when he goes into his whole act on flyouts.

[metirish]

A quick search for Sterling home run calls

Bernie goes Boom!!!! An A bomb, for A-rod!!!!!!!!!! Alexander the great!!!!!!!!! Robbie Cano, dont ya know???!!!!!!!!! A Thrilla, for Godzilla!!!!!!!!!! And Robin becomes Batman!!!!!!!!!! (Robin Ventura) Jorgie juiced one!!!!!!! (Posada) The Bam Tino!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Giambino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And as CF notes his home run calls for routine fly balls and or doubles are hilarious.

"It's an A-bomb from A-Ro--... Upton settles under it, and it's in his glove. Two away for Jorge, coming up now."

My favorite, too.

Like Grimm, I'm completely unaware of what a game called by Sterling sounds like. Having a taste of it, I'm happy to remain blissfully ignorant.

Bay SCALLOPS that pitch and reels in a HOME RUN!

"ohh, Carlos Belts one."

"It's a Bomb-Bay from Jason."


Melky Cabrera must have been special, cuz he got two doses of Sterling-isms on his home runs:

"A home run for Cabrera. Ahh, the Melk-man delivers. Cause that's the Melky Way."

David straightens up and flies WRIGHT!

or perhaps

DAVID goes GOLIATH!

This thread is making me physically ill.

Sterling represents some of the best evidence that Yankee fans are dumbass douchebags.

When we had Fran, the consensus was that he sucked. Yankee fans LOVE Sterling.

[ashie62]

It is long! It is Far! It is a citifield out

[smg58]

I'm sure I'd cringe if I heard this person call Yankee HRs too. But I wouldn't care how badly a Mets announcer called the homers as long as he had plenty of opportunities to call them.

At any rate, this thread made my day.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who needs a barf bag.

I love Sterling because I hate the MFYs and he's the kind of buffoon their fans deserve.

Lots of good Sterling stuff on this here channel

It's not just the home run calls, or the homerism... it's the fact that the HR calls are but the tip of a gigantic iceberg of shtick. His game-calling is largely about him and the story he/the MFYs have decided upong, not about the actual game.

He's unfunny, and he's kinda moralistic, and-- above all-- he's shtick-ier than Jackie Mason doing Henny Youngman jokes while waggling Groucho eyebrows and an exploding cigar. On a cruise ship called the "Lady of the Catskills."

Yeah maybe a little, but Hagin actually sees more that's actually going on than Sterling. And of course, the pairing with Howie makes it better.
