Say It Ain’t So, Bobby O
Through all of the nonsense that the Mets have put us through regarding their product on the field, the one thing the Mets have left to really, really enjoy is their coverage of said nonsense. Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling are generally considered among the best in the business. Kevin Burkhardt was our sideline reporter friend, and Bobby Ojeda played the part of Post...

Mets Card of the Week: 1991 Ron Darling
1991 LEAF RON DARLING
I spent an idle post-holiday hour thumbing through a 3,000-count box of cards this past Sunday morning.
It was a box of no special report, containing mostly early ’90s junk from a range of manufacturers, picked clean of any Jeter rookies or the like.
But it can be so refreshing to spend time with a big brick of commons like this, as a quick portal back to...

Ron Darling was incredulous SNY promised stupid 'all day' coverage of Matt Harvey's mound session today
Matt Harvey threw 20 pitches from the side of the bullpen mound Friday afternoon at Citi Field. Today he's scheduled to throw 25 pitches off a mound at the team’s minor-league complex in Port St. Lucie. SNY TV had a promo during yesterday afternoon's Mets game in which they promised 'all day' coverage. Not noted in the W.B. Mason Post Game Extra programming was Ron Darling's reaction...

Darling Regrets Not Reading Mets Loyalty Pledge Letter
In a harsh rebuke of the front office, New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro points out how the Mets vowed in the spring of 2013 that this was going to be the year they blew the dust off their wallets and jumped back into the game, act like they own a team based in New York City, not Oklahoma City.
“And, you know: act like True New Yorkers.”
The Mets, who are 1-6 since asking...

Ron Darling on the Mets fan loyalty oath he signed: "I didn't read it."
Mets broadcaster Ron Darling joined WFAN's Joe & Evan to discuss that dopey New York Mets fan loyalty oath that he signed. Seems Darling (who said back in 1986 of the Mets crowd that showed up to games 1 and 2 of the World Series, "It's a wine sipping crowd, not our regular fans.") didn't read the letter before signing it. Ron went on to add, "It seems everything that comes out...

Gary, Keith and Ron: Those Voices In Our Heads
The Mets may not lead the league in many baseball categories, but they do excel in one area. The voices of the Mets SNY broadcast team; Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling, are the cream of the crop. All three were on top of their game in Steve Serby’s Q&A in the Sunday New York Post. Darling was also talking Met baseball this morning on WFAN.
Darling was asked to...
