The only thing Mike watches now are Sunday NFL games. That is his money train now. When was the last time Mike watched an NBA/NHL/non-Yankees MLB game? 3-4 years? I am not even sure Mike watches the playoff games. Maybe a few innings. And maybe he leaves the game on in the background. But i just get the sense that he doesn't care anymore and all his analysis these days is based on what he watched 4 years ago.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117856','Cork'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117856','Cork','the one thing that Mike and Mad Dog had going at the end was that Mike offered somewhat reasonable analysis and Mad Dog actually watched the games.

His show sucks. He's arrogant pompous and no one likes him. So all he can do is bring up an assinine topic like trading David Wright. David Wright has a career ops+ of 139. Try and find another third basemen who's put up numbers like him by the age of 25. Your looking at a guy who is on a George Brett Career Path. So trading Wright would be the equivilant of trading George Brett after the 1978 season. Wright won't even hit his Peak until the 2010 2011 seasons. So lets sum things up: 1-George Brett Career Path 2-Best position player the Mets have ever produced 3-Manageable contract 4-25 years old 5-won't reach his peak until 2010 or 2011 6-Face of the franchise 7-4 full seasons with an ops+139 8-Most popular player 9-Good person 10-3 AS appearances, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117722','John Q'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117722','John Q','Mike\'s lost his mind.

Prior to the next game, a picture of Victorino, running the bases, with his finger in the air, was taped to his locker by his teammates with ‘J. Reyes’ written above

Took this from Metsblog, but I did hear it on the broadcast last night. I’ve always said, how can any team with Shane Victorino on it have anything to say about anyone else’s antics???

I refuse to, unless it is 5 on Weds and the Mets manager is on. I did not even realize until I read this that other hosts were trying out. I just wish he'd fail miserably (sounds like he is) and get fired so the airwaves around here can be cleaned up. Then, WFAN will get me back as a listener in the afternoon. I'm a little surprise that Steve thinks his analysis is "spot on". From what I remember, his analysis was always littered with his own biases (anti Met) and incorrect "I know everyone in spawts so this is true" shit. I find him to be a clown whose time has come and gone. Anyway, I agree with Steve that the Phucks winning the pennant may be the slap the Mets need to do something. I'd love to see Bowa here, and hopefully the loss will make Manny want out of LA and into Flushing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('117696','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('117696','Rich','I give anyone credit who can listen to fat ass.
