However, carlosdelgado21 is the real Carlos Delgado, who is the only person on the Mets on Twitter.

In other words, every other person from the Mets, be it Omar Minaya or David Wright or Frankie Rodriguez, etc., are all fake.

Update, 1:50 pm:

Speaking of Cohen…

In the New York Observer, John Koblin writes a fantastic profile of Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez, who he calls, “The Anti-Homers.”

…this is one of the coolest things i have ever seen… no, mike doesn’t sell these, which is a shame, because people would snap them up in a second…

…great work, mike…

Mike has also designed Lego figurines of David Wright, Kevin Youklis, Jason Giambi, and Bret Favre, among others.

Speaking of Mets announcers…

The crew from Amazin Avenue have been running an online Mets Announcer Tournament.

Today is the final battle, between Bob Murphy and Gary Cohe

To watch the four-minute conversation, scroll down and click play, otherwise the following is a quick transcript:

Matthew Cerrone: The first question comes from Henry in Trumbull, and, actually, I know Henry and he’s good guy, he asks: we know how owners and fans, in time, feel their entitled to a World Series, but how does that work for broadcasters – do you guys get excited about the prospect of making that big call, and feel entitled to it?

Gary Cohen: Well, in our role on TV, we don’t get to call anything in the post season… Back when I was on radio there was a little more invested in the team getting there and getting the chance to do those calls, but we don’t do that on television – we’re done when the season ends.

Matthew Cerrone: I think I asked you this a couple of years ago, but, having done this so long, how do you keep from becoming jaded or desensitized by the business aspect, working so close to the team?

Gary Cohen: I think there are a lot of things that go on through the course of the season that can make you feel jaded.  But, for the three hours that the game is going on, the game is thing.  That’s the thing about broadcasting baseball, you’ve got to love the game – and, to me, that supercedes anything else, positive or negative, that goes on in the other 21 hours of the day.

Matthew Cerrone: The last question, which, actually, I got from a pot of readers, all aspiring broadcasters I would think, and, basically, what is the best advice you got as a broadcaster – and what can you impart?

Gary Cohen: The best advice I ever got, from a guy named Gary Sparta, who I worked with in South Carolina, and he basically told me not to announce, but to talk.  You have to be yourself and you have to talk to people the way you would have a conversation in real life, otherwise you will come off as a phoney.  In terms of kids who want to broadcasters, the best thing you can do is grab a tape recorder, go to a game and talk and do it over and over and listen back, because you’ll be your own best critic and then go to it again and again and again, and that’s really the other way to learn how to do play by play.

In Game 2, the Mets defeated the Braves by the score of 5 to 0.

The Mets conclude their three-game set with the Braves today, starting at 1 pm, with Jorge Campillo (7–7, 4.86 ERA) taking on Oliver Perez (10–7, 4.15 ERA).

When asked if there is any player in the majors that reminds him of himself, Keith replied; “No, I haven’t really thought about comparing someone to myself.”

…there is only one, incomparable keith hernandez…

Gary Cohen also fields questions on topics such as his becoming a Mets fan, and who he thinks is the best third baseman in Mets history.  Go to SNY.tv to read more.

In addition, Bob Raissman at the Daily News pens an article on why he thinks SNY is a better network than YES or MSG.

…clearly, the best part of the afternoon was being able to enjoy a Tootsie Pop with keith…of course, i grabbed an extra one from the box, on the way out, to keep as a souvenir…

…i think this is such a great, and original idea…when i first heard this i didn’t believe it, but i’ll definitely be watching to see what goes right, and what goes wrong…overall it should be a lot of fun, but keith will need to bring a lot of tootsie pops to appease the shea masses…

According to Pearlman, Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez are, “funny, insightful, and — most importantly — brutally honest.”

…sounds like he is writing for a movie poster…

Pearlman details the iconic rise of Darling and Hernandez while playing with the 1986 Mets and their bitter end as Major Leaguers and how they translated that into broadcasting. Hernandez as quoted by Pearlman…

“I’ll always be a baseball player first, an announcer second, but for me, this is joy. It’s like being on the couch, kicking back with Gary and Ronnie and talking baseball.”

…unfortunately, living out of state and not with in the SNY broadcast area i don’t get to listen to gary, ron and keith’s broadcast as much as i would like…and i can tell you after being stuck listening to various broadcast teams across baseball, they are without a shadow of a doubt the best in baseball…i’ve learned so much more about the ins and outs of baseball by listening to ron and keith…those living within the tri-state are, consider yourselves lucky…

…by the way the photo of keith used in the article is priceless…it screams, “I’m Keith Hernandez”…
