Costas and Michaels to Call Mets @ SF, 07/08/11

bmfc1 Jun 30 2011 12:42 PM

From an mlb.com article: Legendary sports broadcaster Al Michaels will join MLB Network's Bob Costas in the broadcast booth when the two call the New York Mets at NL West first-place San Francisco Giants at 10:00 p.m. ET on Friday, July 8, part of MLB Network's live game schedule in July. The game marks the first time Michaels and Costas will call an MLB game together and the first MLB game Michaels will call since 1995. Costas and Michaels will also make special appearances on SNY's broadcast and on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's broadcast in the game's middle innings, while Mets announcers Gary Cohen and Ron Darling and Giants announcers Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow will appear in MLB Network's booth during that time, as its telecast will not be available in the Giants' and Mets' home television markets.

I wonder how we can make Costas miss the event. What a gasbag he became.

Great idea, IMO. Aren't they all paid to be gasbags?

Also, I'm really hoping for at least one Baseketball reference.

Costas got booted from Cars 2 in favor of Brent Musburger as Brent Mustangburger.

I'm OK with Costas because in reality he's actually only 20" tall. So I lord over him.

And he's from Commack, so he's a homie.

MLB.com hypes the paring. They'll make cameos in the SNY booth as well.
