Beer Money

So rather than talking about the pounding the Mets took at the hands of the Nats today, I thought I'd just pretend today's pitching debacle didn't happen and talk about something else.

So SNY debuted it's new show "Beer Money" tonight (an hour after it was supposed to be on) but none the less, the show wasn't half bad, basically this guy and this girl go around sporting venues and sports bars in the tri-state and ask random fans New York sports trivia questions for cash.

Despite the fact that you can only win a max of $130, which is just pathetic for a game show that was made after 1960, it was kinda fun answering the questions myself, and watching the stupid people on the show miss the softballs being tossed their way. The one thing that bothered me about the first episode tonight were the pathetic bandwagon Mets fans that didn't know simple Mets history that the average 5 year old mets fan knows.

Honestly, there was this one guy decked out in Mets gear, he looked like a true blue fan, the question came up about the Mets all time leader in wins with 198. This idiot's answer was "Ryan Nolan"... yes Ryan Nolan... the backwards name of the 24 year old prospect who we traded for Jim Fregosi in what may be one of the worst trades in baseball history... come on Ryan Nolan??? Ok, maybe not everyone knows it's Tom Seaver, but if you claim to be a Mets fan how could you not at least guess Tom Seaver... hell it would have even been somewhat acceptable if he guessed Koosman or Doc, but Nolan Ryan? a guy who only won 29 games with the Mets? come on.

Anyways, check out Beer Money, on SNY, I'm not sure what time it's normally going to be on, but I think it's on this week at 11PM, so check it out.
