--- Saturday night I was watching the Mets-Nationals on tv. Didn't I have anything better to do with my time, say, the new David Cronenberg movie? A fair question, but one that will have to wait for another time. I was watching the game, that's that.
At this point, I must warn the squeamish that I am about to commit a felony, and reproduce some of the accounts of that game, despite the fact that I have not obtained the express written consent of Major League Baseball. Please direct all legal enquiries to our attorneys Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga and McCormick (http://www.hungadungahungadungahungadungaandmccormick.net ).
Bottom of the third, Mets already leading 5-0. Leading off for the Nationals, light-hitting (.212, 1 HR, 19 RBI) catcher Gary Bennett. After fouling off one of Tom Glavine's 3-2 pitches, Bennett lifts a fly ball to short right field. Right fielder Marlon Anderson, second baseman Miguel Cairo, and first baseman Doug "Mankiewicz" Mientkiewicz all converge. Cairo makes the catch. Keith Hernandez, providing color commentary, likes what he sees.
Hernandez: This is the pop-up you work on in spring training. The sheriff here is the outfielder, and Marlon defers here to Cairo. It's so important on those plays to use your voice, and scream "I got it, I got it" and "You take it, you take it," whatever.
Play-by-play announcer Ted Robinson adds: "Or as it would be in today's game "yo la tengo." Yo La Tengo of course a long-time New Jersey band, a great success, and huge Met fans. Haven't seen Ira—Ira's the lead singer—usually a regular. Haven't had a chance to see Ira this year."
Hernandez: (silence)----
Is this true? I always thought all those guys were just replicas of john madden?
