Nice chat! Too bad I cant contribute since I have a job during the day (no, I'm not in an office)
One comment I want to make. I live in Mass. and listen to almost every game online. I have been very pleased with Wayne Hagin's work this year. In the beginning, he would let Howie control the broadcast since he was the lifelong fan, local guy with great stories.
It seemed he was trying to give Howie the respect he deserves. Since the beginning of the season, he has been more than just a sidekick, interjecting stories and bits of info where needed.
He is a solid broadcaster and fits in perfectly with what I expect out of a Mets radio broadcast. I hope he signs a long term deal and stays around for a while.
