Somers' Monologue: Dear Mets, Happy Golden Anniversary (Sort Of)

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Happy Golden Anniversary to the New York Mets -- with Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg coming out of the birthday cake.

The Mets started the next 50 years on Wednesday the same way they started the first 50: with Roger Craig in the house for a loss.

"Walk Like a Man," from the Four Seasons.

Roy Orbison's "Walk On."
