they are fantastic and in fact are carrying on a Mets tradition. i grew up listening to Mets hall of fame quality radio announcers like Bob Murphy, Gary Thorne, Gary Cohen call the Mets games (mid-80s when the Mets were still broadcast by an AM country music station - i believe 1050 - before they moved to 660). to say they breathed life into baseball would be an understatement. you were at the ballpark, inside the player's and manager's heads. NY baseball fans are extremely fortunate - you don't necessarily know it until you hear other teams (some of which are of course also awesome, but not all are).
