Someone on another thread made a great point: SNY layoffs are related to the idea there probably won’t be baseball for quite a while. Maybe the shows will resume when the sport returns?
In a word, a distinctly Mets word: Amazin

And yet I’m listening to @ChrisCarrino and @TimCapstraw on the radio (while watching the TV feed). As a duo, they are terrific, informative and entertaining.
And a good book it is!
Congratulations to Sandy Alderson for being on the Hall of Fame ballot. I hope he gets in! (Along with Dusty and Boch) I wrote a whole book on why I think Alderson is an important figure in baseball all history. amazon.com/dp/0802125182/ref… @Ken_Rosenthal @JasonLaCanfora @Denver4VA

Especially on Ruocco games, I sync Chris and Capper on radio. They’re the absolute best.
Ryan Ruocco is the goat of making little skirmishes out to be way way way bigger than they actually are. Does it every time @RyanRuocco

Rest In Peace, Ross. What a great reporter, wonderful man.
Need to pay tribute to my friend and fellow scribe Ross Newhan who passed away Oct. 25 at 89. Ross was a giant in our profession especially in LA where he covered the Dodgers and Angels for 43 years. Gifted writer, dogged reporter and a kind soul. RIP

Once, Nets PA announcer Paul Gourvitz took a second to announce a basket by Neil. Neil looked directly at the scorers table and said, “Don’t be so surprised.”

This is so encouraging and uplifting. I know when my nephew, a Mets diehard, had a serious surgery, it was Ethan who gave him a huge left by sending a box of Mets related material. The best I can do in return is offer continued prayers.
I wanted to provide an update on Ethan WIlson. And I have some good news to report. metsinsider.mlblogs.com/upda…

I was at this game. Nassau Coliseum. Sad the ABA lost, but it was a good showing.
At 22, Artis Gilmore went head to head with 35-year-old Wilt Chamberlain in the 1972 NBA vs. ABA Supergame. Gilmore scored 14, Wilt had 6, and the footage shows just how physical the matchup was. Young giant vs. old giant, captured on film.

Congrats to Bill Brown on a well deserved honor from Miller Place.
During a PGA Tour event last year, with Jack Nicklaus the special guest in the booth, they held an inane interview with a golfer on the fairway. Immediately, Jack said, “I HATE that!”
Chris Berman is way, way too high on this list.

Very real, and richly deserved! Here’s hoping you are rewarded with some genuinely exciting games to call this season.
Plus he did it with a laser sharp wit, which you definitely do not see any more.
Benny Agbayani’s son is coming to the Mets in the AJ Minter trade.
The return for A.J. Minter, per ESPN sources: infielder Billy Amick and infielder Bruin Agbayani — the son of longtime Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani. Amick has big power, questions about position. Agbayani is young, toolsy and instinctual. First on the return was @WillSammon.
