Seinfeld on Wednesday SNY Tigers-Mets gig as related to Steve Somers, Gaga 'pathetic'--Neil Best

6/22, Neil Best, "Jerry Seinfeld declined to speak to me and other newspaper scribes about his gig

• in the SNY booth beginning in the third inning Wednesday night, but he did do so with his old pal Steve Somers on WFAN Tuesday.

Here is the audio.

Seinfeld said nice things about the SNY announcing crew, including Kevin Burkhardt's "amazing head of hair."

• He expects to do mostly color commentary, but might he do some play by play as well?

• "I could to that," he said. "How hard is it to say, 'There's a hit?'"....

Seinfeld on Lady Gaga, who recently turned up in Seinfeld's suite at Citi Field (without his knowledge or permission):

"I wish her the best . . . You take one 'a' off that and you've got 'gag.'"

• Later, he (jokingly, sort of) called her a "jerk" and "pathetic."

• And then this on Gaga: "Wake me when it's over.""

from Neil Best Watchdog, "Seinfeld on Gaga, "pathetic""

• Update: Mr. Best added one can't be sure how serious Seinfeld was being in his remarks,

with Steve Somers laughing in the background. From the transcript it sounds like if he cared one way or the other the term would be 'pathetic' but overall it (the Gaga topic) is not worth his time.

• Seinfeld to Mets tv booth for Wednesday, 6/23 game

UPDATE: The shirt Lady Gaga was wearing at the Yankee game was a Mariano Rivera shirt, per Orlando Sentinel, George Diaz, 6/23
