Yeah. I get pissed when he comes in down by 3 runs and gets the game finished, because that just has the potential to contribute to a sticky situation down the road, but I am not near rooting for a blown save yet.

Fman99: I don't know who decides which feed is used on the cable version of Extra Innings but it's the same feed for all non-satellite customers (so venting to FIOS won't help). If there is a slot for one game, it's usually the home feed unless the home team is on broadcast TV (e.g. WPIX) and the visitor is on cable. When the Mets are on the road, you can sometimes get lucky, such as the 2d game of the DH last night (if you call watching that game lucky). When they were in Philadelphia, the 1st 2 games used the SNY feed and the 3d used the Phillies feed. After the hockey playoffs, they sometimes have both feeds. It's hard to figure it out sometimes and, again, I don't know where the decisions are made. I've asked on a board for TV sports and nobody had an answer.

If we truly have the general contempt for bunting that we claim to have, then surely we all have to see that rooting for failure because the Mets are too stupid to respond intelligently to success is pretty much the fan's version of emotionally bunting the whole season long.

Swing the bat!

And if they didn;t, somebody would have complained they interfere too much.

If you want to blame them for something, blame them for appointing a guy who was dysfunctional with autonomy.
