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."
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:
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:
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:
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):
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.

"Fifty Bucks Says The Colon Kid Picks His Nose"
Fifty more says he eats it! That Colon kid will eat anything.

This is such a great feature.
Keep it up, Cannonglaser.
We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

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.

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.
In lobby for: Jaime Cevallos, Zack Lutz, orange unis and Rickroll as the 7th inning song.
The Unwritten Rules of AA
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.
Proud to root for the Jets, Mets, and Islanders!!!
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?”
