Opinion: Joe D or Willie Mays, Hot Topic
By Matthew Cerrone - Apr 1, 2008 4:05 pm

…here we are, less than one day from Johan Santana’s first start for the Mets, whose fans are quite excited and peaceful for the first time in six months, yet WFAN’s Mike Francesa and Chris Russo have spent the last two hours talking about whether Joe DiMaggio was better than Willie Mays…typical…so, so typical…

…i just don’t understand how the top-rated, sports talk-radio show in New York City can be allowed to feature a Yankees fan and a Giants fan…i mean, that would be fine if it was 1940…but it isn’t…instead, there is zero Mets representation and it gives me a constant headache…

…more importantly, why do i keep listening to them…ugh…

…by the way, last week, for whatever reason, i was a bit angry with WFAN…i even suggested the Mets leave after this season, meaning they could end up at ESPN 1050

…i need to apologize to WFAN…because, i realize now that my remarks were really just displaced anger towards francesa and russo, who are clearly driving me insane…

    Sigh. Yes, I have missed baseball, but one thing that always drives me nuts is the 24-7 need of the media to stir the pot in this town, and the 162 1-game seasons.

    These guys are absolutely determined not to allow us to enjoy anything positive for any amount of time. I’m saying “Gee, that was great” after yesterday, and some idiot at the postgame press conference whines about Castillo not scoring in the first inning. FWIW, I thought Willie handled that just right.

    Then this morning, in the TImes, Bill Rhoden (who usually totes his own little raincloud with him anyway), was just as funereal about the collapse as if it were still October 2007– the thing that pissed me off the most was when he– and when any other sports writers do this, BTW– preached about “the thought that must be in the back of the heads of every Mets fan.” Well, it wasn’t in the back of mine, anymore.
    Why does this guy presume to speak for me? Why does he think he knows what’s in the back of my head?

      Actually Castillo should be ripped for not running. I have little patience for players that don’t hustle, there’s no excuse for it.

      I also love Mike and the Maddog. There is no one better in the business. I don’t care that they don’t like the Mets.

      Oh and I know he’s popular here but I can’t stand Somers. He’s just the worst.
