Over/Under

With the season upon us, it's time for our special version of Over/Under. The following are statements Mike is bound to make this baseball season accompanied by our official Mikeandthemadblog over/under line on how many times Francesa will make each remark:

- David Wright is not clutch (Over/Under: 12 mentions)
- Says 'We're back'(using a rough formula 52 weeks in a year minus the whole summer equals 40. 5 shows a week, 10 times a day = Over/Under 2,000 mentions)
- Notes how Yankees Stadium and Citi Field are 'different' (Over/Under: 80 mentions)
- Talks about trading for Nate McLouth (Over/Under: 25 mentions)
- Insists that Joba would be better in the bullpen (Over/Under: 31 mentions)
- Calls out Jose Reyes for his excessive celebrations (Over/Under: 51 mentions)
- Uses the words "Talk to me in August" to describe an early contender that he doesn't take serious (Over/Under: 63 mentions)
- Uses the words "The Great" before saying Mariano's name (Over/Under: 29 mentions)
- References Arod's MVP season from 2 years ago when a caller compains that Arod has been a disappointment (Over/Under: 7 mentions)

Okay, we now open the betting to you. Give us your picks on where Mike will end up on these over/unders. Or just add your own to the list....

He is driving me crazy today. He keeps saying "The Georgia Quarterback" instead of saying the guy's name. Mike, the Georgia quarterback has a name, it's Matthew Stafford. It's like he's playing a drinking game where he's not allowed to say anybody's name.

The WFAN afternoon radio host has been a real dick to the callers so far this afternoon.

LOL to both Loki and Brian. Loki, I was thinking the same thing and was going to give FTLT a hard time about it. But since I added a few of them, I can't say anything. Who is it that goes crazy about 'we're back'? I could have sworn someone would have commented on that.

Brian - Just like he says, 'the Kid', we could call him the 'old fat guy'. But I guess people already do that. And who am I to talk? I've started calling that guy on American Idol, 'the blind guy' and said last night 'this certainly is the last week for weird girl.'

The "We're back" has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. We're not back, you're going to a commercial, so We'll BE back. I'll definitely take the over in that one!
