Links: Dollars, Kent, and Phillips
Joe at Mets Today wonders why the Mets are acting like a small-market team this winter, writing:
“The Mets are based in New York City, own their own superstation, and have attracted a loyal and rabid fan base that numbers in the millions. But they haven’t been able to make the most of those advantages in terms of dollars.”
At the blog Priced Out Of The Citi, Mackie comments on the retiring of Jeff Kent. Also, Metstradamus expresses no sympathy with his must-see illustration of the former Mets second baseman.
Watching ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball just got better, as former Mets GM Steve Phillips is slated to join Joe Morgan and Jon Miller.
Phillips, as quoted here said:
“Jon and Joe have set the standard for baseball telecasts over the last 19 years, and I look forward to being a member of their team.”
…to me, and stop me if i’m being too harsh, they only set the standard for how to be boring broadcasters…
The ‘Ropolitans thankfully forward along useful information regarding Delay Play, which syncs your radio broadcast with TV programming so that the ESPN crew is silenced.
