From today’s Daily News: 

The camera was on Keith Hernandez biting on a sandwich and drinking from a large cup of soda. He better get used to it.

Tuesday, SportsNet New York opened a whole new can of worms with some interactive TV, as the Mets voices took phone calls during the Mets-Braves exhibition game. It was a talk-radio show during a baseball TV broadcast, something SNY said it will continue during the regular season.

Why call in to some talk-radio gasbags when you can chat with the announcers during the game?

That’s what Alex from Queens and Kyle from Brooklyn did during yesterday’s game. Questions ranged from who the Mets’ fifth starter will be to whether Mike Piazza or Barry Bonds could end up at Shea.

Three announcers – Hernandez, Ralph Kiner and Kevin Burkhardt – didn’t look thrilled by all of this. They better get used to it.

Just imagine during the regular season when some fan calls in to criticize a player’s performance during the game.

I think this is a pretty interesting idea, but during a game I can see it getting kind of chaotic.  It’s something I’ll definately tune into to see how it works out.  It will be interesting to hear fans reaction to a David Wright grand slam or a Billy Wagner blown save.
