Just a moment on memory lane

Remember when Murph used to say "When the Mets start hitting again -- and they will..."?

Murphy always had a positive spin. Always. Hey, these recent teams might suck but we have had a very fortunate team history in broadcasters. I can even remember a day I thought Tim McCarver was great.

Tim and Ralph were a great team. I haven't really watched Tim in his post-Mets incarnation so I haven't developed the negativbe feelings about him that some have. But I wonder if even Murph could add "...and they will..." to this bunch.

Me too. I only have good thoughts about Tim McCarver. He (and Steve Zabriskie) made watching the Mets fun again. I've only occasionally heard his voice since he left the Mets telecast, and I have no opinion on his current work.

Tim and Ralph were a great team. I haven't really watched Tim in his post-Mets incarnation so I haven't developed the negativbe feelings about him that some have. But I wonder if even Murph could add "...and they will..." to this bunch. He might rephrase it with : " ..and they are bound to.." I have heard Tim enough over the years since he left that I believe he has become very redundant in his style. He still is a very good observer and he'll never suck. And its not that his style has changed much. It hasn't. When he first started he was new and refreshing. Now he's old and rehashing.
