All In – Alyssa Milano, Pedroia, MLB Network
An article by 
MLB Network is In, SNY, YES and NESN are Out
I don’t know about you, but ever since the debut of MLB Network, I haven’t tuned into SNY once. Of course I’ll be watching every Mets game as well as Pre and post game coverage, but let’s face it, given the choice between the two it’s not even close. I’m thinking that all of you NESN and YES Network watchers, are feeling the same way. I mean come on… It’s like comparing Alyssa Milano to Carrot Top. Oh and by the way, Alyssa Milano is still definitely in!
Young and exciting players are In, Old and decrepit players are Out
Forget guys like Jason Varitek, Ken Griffey Jr., Nomar Garciaparra and Jeff Kent. Give me more players like Dustin Pedroia, Tim Lincecum, Cole Hamels and Alexei Ramirez. Keep your damn Type A Free Agents and stay the hell away from my precious draft picks!
1050 ESPN is In, WFAN is Out
Mike Francesa carries a solo act about as good as he is at winning Rewards Points at Weight Watchers. The guy is a total bore and always has been. Benigno and Roberts are just plain ridiculous and their time slot amounts to nothing more than three hours of noise pollution. Boomer and Carton have their moments, and so does the Schmoozer, but what about the other 19 hours of air-time? Mad Dog and Chris Carlin ditched the FAN, and and so should you. Kellerman, Tierney and Mike and Mike, all get a big thumbs-up. Tune into 1050 and see the light.
CitiField is In, Shea Stadium is Out
Nobody will miss that blaring PA System, those cramped seats, that eighties decor, those squeaky escalators, and those smelly restrooms more than me. Shea Stadium was a dump, but it was OUR dump. Here’s to a brand new, shiny ballpark with all the frills and thrills. Oh and before I forget, I want to give a big shout-out to all the wonderful U.S. taxpayers that helped chip in the $400 million dollars for CitiField’s naming rights. We promise to spend your money wisely… on players that will help the Mets beat your teams.

Went to my first Mets game, a Mayors Trophy game at Shea, in '73. We beat the Yankees 8-4 and I was hooked. I marched in two Banner Day parades, and before the Grand Slam single, there was the "Hendu Can Do" grand slam - I was there. I've collected Mets memorabilia all my life and started Mets Merized Online to feed my addiction.

The “Naming Rights” deal nets the Mets $400M over 20 years — not $200M.
thanks rocksolid, my bad… I corrected it.
Max Kellerman is awesome, and Michael Kay’s show is good too. Unfortunately they’re both Yankee fans, and they tend to not talk about the Mets as much as they want to because they may have too long of a conversation about the Yanks.
Did you say something after the picture of Alyssa Milano?
Hey now back off, that’s my wife your talking about

I dont get mlb network
damn you direct tv, i have to pay extra
Mike and Mike in the Morning sucks. Why the hell would I want to listen to Michael Kay? I don’t need to hear him telling me the Yankees are the greatest franchise in sports history every five minutes. Of course WFAN is all garbage nowadays. I’m too cheap, but the best bet is probably getting XM and listening to the Maddog and company.
MLB Network on Direct TV is channel 213. I’m not paying any extra for it, and I get it.
Are you kidding me!?!?!?!? Mike and Mike are awesome. Best sports talk duo around.
I’m Cablevision on Long Island and supposedly it’s channel 149 but I can’t get it.
Is it a standard Cablevision channel or do you pay extra?
You need IO from cablevision in order to get the network.
well i have the basic plan, thats what they told me. they said i have to upgrade it, but i’ll do it when pitchers and catchers start. im not gonna pay for this month, i’ll do it next month
Man, it would have been awesome to have signed Alexei Ramirez when he came to the MLB last season. He is an awesome 2nd baseman defensively & has good power at the plate as well considering if you’ve ever seen him before, he’s a skinny kid!!!
Can I have a 3 foot by 4 foot poster of that shot for one of the empty walls in my living room?
i really love MLB Network. I can watch it 24/7. They have alot of really cool documentaries. Very awesome chanel
holy crap! look at Alyssa Milano!
damn, you guys should put a pic of Milano everyday….lol
Ya know, I saw that pic of Alyssa Milano and suddenly, for a brief moment, I really didnt care about our starting pitching.
I wish everyone would stop staring at my girlfriend.
