This Week In SNY

The Mets went 4-3 on the week but SNY maintained its perfect record, going 7-0.

Sunday, May 29th

One of New York's Finest remained on the field for the first pitch, unaware that the game had started.

Maybe he was attempting to #BlameBeltran up close and personal.

Monday, May 30th

Forgive us for watching the Yankees -- the Mets recently endured a home run drought and we needed a power fix. That, and David Cone is a cool announcer. Here is a bonus moment from the YES Network this week. Bartolo Colon was caught in the act and Cone made a funny:

David Cone: "The Yanks picked a winner when they picked him up in the offseason."

Star-divide

We genuinely admire the enthusiasm of these swashbuckling Pirates fans:

Ron Darling: "They don't look very menacing to me, I'm sorry!"

Recently, SNY cameras have captured the Mets triumphantly walking the runway back to the clubhouse after wins:

This Week In SNY heartily approves of this shot and hopes to see more of it in the future.

Tuesday, May 31st

Mets backstops have special equipment to catch R.A. Dickey:

We don't always buy game-used memorabilia, but when we do, it's a Dickey-engraved giant catcher's mitt.

Let's check in with Kevin! KB used the non-word "irregardless" during an eighth inning report, prompting a fusillade of tweets from Mets fans. His response:

Deargrammarpolice_medium

We feel for him, live television can't be a breeze. The grammar mistake in the tweet is also unfortunate. Here's how he should have handled it:

This concludes this week's edition of "Let's check in with Kevin!"

One of Dale Thayer's warmup pitches got away from him. Umpire watch out!

Gary Cohen: "Here's how not to win friends and influence people."

Thursday, June 2nd

Here is Mike Sielski of the Wall Street Journal providing some valuable insider information about Burkhardt:

Sielskiperryburkhardt_medium

Perhaps Perry is singing about Burkhardt on her E.T. track?

You're, so, hypnotizing.
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your, touch, magnetizing.

Friday, June 3rd

It's not often that Gary Cohen outshines Keith Hernandez in the fashion department, but on Friday night Gary's pinstriped suit stole the show:

Garycohenpinstripes_medium

Either SNY is having trouble determining who hits home runs or the engineer is a longtime LARRRRYYYYYY antagonist (that's Chipper Jones rounding third base, folks):

Mccannchipper_medium

Finally, we end with a shot of aspiring weatherman Jason Bay in the dugout after the game, possibly contemplating the upcoming hurricane season or whether a tropical storm will be named after him:

That's all for now. Send any tips or suggestions to ThisWeekInSNY@gmail.com. It would be particularly helpful this week, as TWIS will not be able to tune in to SNY until next Monday.

That "Brian McCann Solo Home Run"

thing reminds me I was watching a FOX national broadcast earlier this season of an AL game, I think it was Detroit vs Minnesota, and when the camera cut to a shot of the batter in the on deck circle the on screen graphic stated “On Deck: Albert Pujols.” Unfortunately I don’t have a screen grab so you’ll just have to use your imagination.

nothing

That’s nothing, my coworker was following along with the day game Mets Pirates game on Thursday and he sent me a screenshot from ESPN. Xavier Paul was batting, his picture had a Dodgers cap.

Jason Isringhausen was pitching, picture had a Rays cap.

Irregardless

That “word” ritates me so much

I enjoyed that you

named the picture of the Pirates fans “JackSparrows”

You got those Katy Perry lyrics wrong;

You’re, so, irregardless.
Could you be the devil dog that made me fat?
Could you be an angel food cake that make me fart?
Your, touch, irregardless.

On Dale Thayer's pitch, the ump called that a HBP.

And Burkhardt is right, his grammar isn't so bad

like he says, “it’s a 160 games of live TV”.

He sounds like my Italian uncle…..its a not so bad, Charlie.

As a meteorologist-in-training, I take offense to these Jason bay comparisons.

Of course, if you were suggesting he be the weatherman for NPR, I wholly agree. That’s probably the only place he could make it. Kevin Burkhardt as my example, you gotta have a personality to make it in TV.

That is a damn fine suit

But I don’t think you can rock it sitting next to a guy who is a good head taller than you

irregardless is as much of a word as "EVOO"

but its not the grammar KB, its your hogging of air time that bothers me. like I said before I watch the games on TV to watch the games, not for a ! sideline reporter.

I can’t recommend the Colon pic enough! LOL
I wonder if Jason Bay is thinking, “What the bleep have I gotten myself into? why am I here?”
