I don't know why I even bother watching Met games anymore but I always end up doing it and then wanting to kill myself afterwards. I mean some Met fans quit, others turn to drugs and alcohol, it's just the way it works for us. But watching this team in mid to late July is literally a fucking comedy act. To start you have the announcers talking about literally nothing to do with the game. Last night I'm watching the game and it's probably the third inning and they're talking about every other team in the league. If they didn't have the score in the upper left hand corner you wouldn't have even know they were announcing a baseball game. And then at the end of the inning all you hear is, "Young takes ball one on the outside corner," from Gary Cohen. As he's done saying this you hear Rob Darling say, "No, that's strike three." All you have to do is watch the umpire signal, how do you fuck that up? And then the main event always comes when the bullpen enters the game. Bring on the tenth inning folks. Let's start with a base hit. Followed by a routine double play ball back to the mound that gets dropped by the short stop and everybody's safe. This is followed by a laser up the middle that the runner couldn't score on. Bases loaded one out here's a single that's hit so fucking hard only one run scores and then we have the bases clearing double. Watching the Mets is like watching that movie you've seen 50 times and already know the outcome. However, you still have that glimmer of hope that something different will happen knowing that it never does. The Mets bullpen has given up eleven runs in extra innings over the last two days. If that's not the most pathetic thing you've ever heard then I don't know what is. The New York Mets comedy tour, coming to a national league city near you until the end of September; because October is for golfing.
Couldn't have said it better. Try watching the games with the tv muted it's a much better alternative to gary, ron, and keith
