HIGHER AND HIGHER. [4-2-08]

Last year, TBF’s “Mets Win!” song was “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)”. This year, after the first game,he ran over to the computer and the sounds of Jackie Wilson came out of the speakers.
“‘Higher and Higher’?”
“Yep. I also thought it was topically relevant.”

So that’s what was played tonight at the conclusion of the game, over the closing credits showing a nice brotherly hug between OP and Santana. What a nice game: good pitching, good offense, good defense, and a couple of very nice plays. It was an enjoyable game to watch.

As for The Pedro News, well, we already covered much of that here earlier today. As Steve Somers said last night on WFAN, “Robert Andino. Pedro getting hurt. Rick Peterson not wearing a jacket. Only one of those things was not surprising.”

[Memo to SNY: Who is the programming genius who decided that it would be a good idea to take calls in the booth? Is this only going to happen when we’re up 13-0? What next - we’ll be able to IM shoutouts and they’ll scroll across the bottom of the screen?]
