Keith Hernandez, SNY reach an agreement

A person familiar with the situation said on Monday that Hernandez and SNY, the Mets' cable station, have agreed in principle on a contract that will extend the color commentator's relationship with the club and the network through at least 2011.

Attention all women: get out of the dugout and into the kitchen; Uncle Keith is coming back!

The best news to come out of this is that we can keep up the Gary, Keith, and Ron Drinking Game. Hoo-ah!

I wrote this on Saturday, but no one listened...

We actually linked to it

but you quoted “anonymous sources” so it didn’t get much play. Also, we all kinda figured he’d be back seeing as he’s not really fit for anything else.

I would like to see Keith is a real job, though.

Hmm…I smell MS Paint/Photoshoping fun…

Could be a good contest idea

‘What would Keith be doing if he weren’t an SNY broadcaster?’

Yeah you did say it.

Glad he is back. Booth would be good without him but is superb with him in it!

Thank God

I couldn’t imagine listening to anyone else. Gary Keith and Ron is are three of the best announcers in baseball. I don’t always agree with them, but they are knowledgeable and very entertaining, especially Keith. And the best part, we can continue playing the Gary Keith and Ron drinking game!!!!!

Not to mention

A couple of rib-eye steaks. And a side of fundies.

Keith on the Mets:

All sizzle(chest5), no (rib-eye) steaks

This is a positive start to the post-season.

Now let’s hope it doesn’t end up being the one highlight for the Mets.

Any word on Ron Darling?

is his “tax problem” gonna put him in any danger of being the next Jerry Koosman (right down to the being the 2nd best pitcher on a Mets Championship team part)

Dunno...On this team, strange things like that have a habit of mirroring each other

Second to last game of the 2007 season: John Maine throws a gem, but the team ends up letting the season slip away the very next day, to the Marlins.

Second to last game of the 2008 season: Johan Santana throws a gem, but the team ends up letting the season slip away the very next day, to the Marlins.
