As a non-Mets fan, I kind of agree. Cohen is the weakest link-he gets way too excited too often-much like Gary Thorne. Vin Scully could give all these screamers a lesson on how to call an exciting moment without yelling. It sometimes sounds like he’s never sat through a whole baseball season before.

I CAN’T STAND KIETH IN THE BOOTH HE IS ALWAYS ROOTING FOR THE OTHER TEAM. HE ALWAYS POINTS OUT WHAT THE OTHER TEAM NEEDS TO DO TO BEAT US. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS.

You mean the team of Michael Kay w/ Bobby Mercer and Al Leiter doesn’t do it for you guys? Or O’Neill or Flaherty or Singleton mixed in? haha Kay is a putz.

I think Carpenter and Sutton are the best team, bar none. (kidding again. I like Sutton ok though.)

I actually like the Reds announcers (I think the play by play guy used to do D-backs last season. I can’t think of his name off-hand.)

I like the Redsox announcers. I also like the Angels announcers.

But yea the Mets are right up there. Hadn’t really thought about them as best before. Some nights Cohen’s “jinxes” (they’re not really jinxes but says things he doesn’t need to so they come across as jinxes) are annoying and Keith’s lack of basic information about players is annoying but they do a great job compared w/ the rest of the league.

not to mention we get kiner almost weekly and seaver a few times a year… the more of those guys the merrier

and i missed cotter at first this year, he was great on the road last season. they had a lotta fun with him, but burkhardt has done a nice job too

interesting they say they’re not always welcome in the clubhouse for some of the stuff they say.. they can be pretty harsh, but with the mets it’s always fair. they are always way, way harder on the other teams. i mean keith seems to hate some teams with a passion while he’s watching them. the marlins this year and the rockies last year, he was disgusted. and well, it’s funny for us

i pretty much stick around for every out of every game. even when we’re getting trounced i can usually at least enjoy the broadcast.. i’d probably bail out a lot sooner and more often if it weren’t for our booth

next year i’d like to see even more games with all three guys

Not since Nelson, Murphy and Kiner has there been a more enjoyable group. I often burst out laughing; usually some banter between Gary and Keith; altho Ron is often very funny as well…
Gary’s Mets knowledge is wonderful.
I just think they are great!

So true. It’s hard to be unbiased of course, but I really to think they are great. Just a perfect combination. Each are different, but together its’ perfect. Interesting, funny, and smart.
