Oh, Susan, let's Sterlingize the Mets!

HahnSolo wrote: What would Sterling's calls for his HRs be? "It's maas-terful." "It's a Monster Maas." "it's a home run for Kevin, and the pitcher says No Maas!" "Ohhh, Kevin killed it!" Anyhow we did live through Kevin Maas again when the Yanks were good: Remember the September of Shane Spencer? HahnSolo's ponderings in the Francoeur thread got me thinking how Sterling would call the Mets. Bring out your best cheese! "It's a Rey-ser Beam for Jose!"

Is this really the kind of stuff he does?

Centerfield Apr 15 2010 10:24 AM Re: Oh, Susan, let's Sterlingize the Mets!

Yes. It's even better when he goes into his whole act on flyouts.

A quick search for Sterling home run calls Bernie goes Boom!!!! An A bomb, for A-rod!!!!!!!!!! Alexander the great!!!!!!!!! Robbie Cano, dont ya know???!!!!!!!!! A Thrilla, for Godzilla!!!!!!!!!! And Robin becomes Batman!!!!!!!!!! (Robin Ventura) Jorgie juiced one!!!!!!! (Posada) The Bam Tino!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Giambino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And as CF notes his home run calls for routine fly balls and or doubles are hilarious.

"ohh, Carlos Belts one." "It's a Bomb-Bay from Jason." Melky Cabrera must have been special, cuz he got two doses of Sterling-isms on his home runs: "A home run for Cabrera. Ahh, the Melk-man delivers. Cause that's the Melky Way."

Sterling represents some of the best evidence that Yankee fans are dumbass douchebags. When we had Fran, the consensus was that he sucked. Yankee fans LOVE Sterling.

I'm sure I'd cringe if I heard this person call Yankee HRs too. But I wouldn't care how badly a Mets announcer called the homers as long as he had plenty of opportunities to call them. At any rate, this thread made my day.

I love Sterling because I hate the MFYs and he's the kind of buffoon their fans deserve. Lots of good Sterling stuff on this here channel [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/HartSeely#p/u

His game-calling is largely about him and the story he/the MFYs have decided upong, not about the actual game. He's unfunny, and he's kinda moralistic, and-- above all-- he's shtick-ier than Jackie Mason doing Henny Youngman jokes while waggling Groucho eyebrows and an exploding cigar. On a cruise ship called the "Lady of the Catskills."

And of course, the pairing with Howie makes it better.

I keep reading this topic title as "Oh, Susan, let's Sterilize the Mets." I'm sure Bob Barker would approve of that.

Sorry so corny. I'm pretty sure that if this were an actual quiz, MH, you'd have gotten, like 75% of the actual, straight-outta-his-hacky-noggin calls right. (There's no WAY he passes on "JOSE, CAN YOU SEE," e.g.)

MFS62 Apr 15 2010 06:32 PM Re: Oh, Susan, let's Sterlingize the Mets!

Sorry, folks, but the Libra in me is forcing me to provide some balance to the Sterling discussion. I remember when my Nets played in the ABA, and Sterling was the announcer. He coined a phrase that was later stolen by Marv Albert (after the ABA/ NBA merger) and Marv is now thought of as the originator of the phrase. Sterling was the first announcer to say a three point field goal attempt was shot from "downtown". Even a blind dog hits an occasional fire hydrant. I gott'a give him that one. We now return this thread to his Yankee foolishness and your resultant nausea. Later

MFS62 Apr 27 2010 09:43 AM Re: Oh, Susan, let's Sterlingize the Mets!

I've been trying hard to forget it, but it has forced its way into my consiousness and then to this thread. Listening to a WCBS radio sports report a while ago, I heard Sterling call a home run by Curtis Granderson by singing "The Grandy Man can, The Grandy Man can". There. It is now out of me. Now maybe I can forget it. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 27 2010 09:56 AM Re: Oh, Susan, let's Sterlingize the Mets!

His first Granderson HR call was "Oh, Curtis, you are something grand-ish!" I tellya, I fookin love this guy.

Howie had great fun today during the first game talking about how he'll be having nightmares tonight after seeing his buddy Sterling in the every picture with Obama form the WH visit, says he'll have a hard time remembering all the great events in history without thinking of Sterling in there....Declaration of Independence , Sterling is in there....pictures of Churchill and Ike....Sterling is in there.....he expects when he goes home and picks up his copy of St. Peppers that Sterling will be in there ....it was quite funny
