Living outta the Mets market for the first time, I have to watch them on Extra Innings, which seems to use the broadcasting team of the home squad. The Marlins crew kept calling Jason Johnson "JJ". Their lead guy should have been pummeled. Hate the Mets all you'd like, but with the exception of Keith Hernandez the Mets SNY crew is one of the best out there. It might be time to get a slingbox.

My EI feed had the Mets announcers - which was blocked since I live in Florida (I guess 120 miles isn't far enough away). I get blocked for both Tampa and Miami, since I'm equidistant from both.

The color guy is former Phil (and Expo) Tommy Hutton. The play-by-play guy is some idiot named Rich Waltz. They get on my nerves.

The Mets guys aren't bad at all. Hernandez is a pompous know-it-all, but he does know his baseball.

QuoteJOHAN BLAMES LOSS ON MURPHY MISCUE

QuoteJohan Santana put the collar for his wasted gem here today squarely around the neck of teammate Daniel Murphy.

"It was just one mistake that he made, [and it] cost us the whole ballgame," Santana said after his 13 strikeouts went for naught in the Mets' 2-1 afternoon loss to the Marlins and their equally superb starter, Josh Johnson

watching parts of the CitiField opener on ESPN and the announcers can't see who's warming in the bullpens unless they go to field-level cameras behind them
