The Gary, Keith, & Ron (and Kev and Bobby O) drinking game

The SNY crew of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling ("GKR") along with sideline reporter Kevin Burkhardt, and pre and postgame analyst Bobby Ojeda can certainly liven up the Mets broadcast. As a "tribute" to the group I have put together a GKR (and K & B) "drinking game." (James K. previously created a 2009 version of the game that can be found here).

Feel free to add your own items to the list.
