Okay....did anyone else watch the SNY feed of this game?

Let me preface this by saying that I'm on percocet right now so I don't know if I heard this right. But in the top of the 7th inning (I think) they showed a shot of a bunch of the Mets standing at the top railing of the dugout and then Gary and Keith start joking about all of their shaved heads.

Then Keith just blurts out, "ACHTUNG!!!!".

Did I hear this right?

Okay, apparently I'm not the only person who heard him say, "Achtung!". Link.

Sorry, "Achtung!" is German for "Attention!". With the Mets and all of their shaved heads I thought Hernandez might have been making a very bad concentration camp type of joke.

Sounds like a Nazi joke.

Either way the joke has to do with Nazi's, which we all have to admit probably isn't PC. I could care less about the actual joke (I actually laughed at it ~ although given my mental state at the time I probably would have laughed at anything), and I'm not surprised Keith Hernandez said something borderline inappropriate on the air. I am surprised that he hasn't gotten any heat over it yet.

...Maybe less people know the meaning of the German word achtung than I thought.

He probably will hear something. It took a day or so for talk to start building up for the women in the dugout comment last year.
