The Mets’ Lone Bright Spot — The Booth — Adds Cliff Floyd

metsblow, , , , Leave a comment

Cliff Floyd is doing a great job in the booth with Gary, Keith, and Ron.

Not only is Cliff Floyd a world champion (’97 Marlins), but he also played on the Mets ’06 team.

So we added another world champion to the booth! And we’ve got some totally rad and family-friendly concerts lined up for the summer! Great job, Mets!

…Can we think about that ’06 team for just a second? Cliff Floyd hit at the bottom of the fucking lineup. All-star, world champion Cliff Floyd! Batting 6th, or even 7th!? Meanwhile our 3rd, 4th, and 5th hitters (Wright, Delgado, Beltran) had over 100 dingers (105) and well over 300 RBI (346!) between the three of them.

This isn’t fucking rocket science! You have to score runs to win baseball games! The Mets won 97 games in ’06 for a reason. They had talent. Cliff Floyd, at age 42 and in the damn booth, would probably bat cleanup for today’s lineup. Good job, Wilpons.

Ron Darling Will Call Some Spring Training Games

Ron Darling will handle the play-by-play for a few Spring Training games. Keith will be the color analyst.

Love it. Love Ronnie. Love RJ (I hear Keith call him this sometimes…it’s for Ron Jr. haha). The truth is that Gary, Keith, & Ron are the best thing that the Mets have. There’s no question about it. If Gary wants to take a few Spring Training games off, that’s totally fine with me. Nobody has earned it more than him. Gary, Keith, & Ron: the only part of the Mets worth watching/listening/paying attention to.
