I'm pretty sure WFAN just missed the ENTIRE top half of the 8th inning
while they were in a commercial break. They came back from the break,
Howie Rose announced the Dodgers were done 1-2-3 in the top of the 8th,
and they went right to another break.

The mid-inning commercials are also out of control. It detracts from
the enjoyment of the game and makes the announcers concentrate on
something OTHER than the action on the field. The Yankees radio
broadcasts have been doing it for a number of years but this year is the
first time I've noticed it during Mets games outside of the already
extremely annoying "GEICO 15th batter of the game" stuff.

Is there no limit to what these greedy fuckheads will do to squeeze
every last drop of "revenue stream" out of the stone? I assume this is
WFAN's doing.

I'm under no delusion that boycotts accomplish anything, but having said
that, I still vote with my wallet and there are a bunch of companies on
my shitlist now that weren't there before the season began.
Get used to it.  American sports broadcasters are completely
shameless.  Look at the NFL.  They add more commercial breaks every
season.
If teams wore corporate sponsorship on their uniforms - like they do
in soccer - there would be less need for commercial breaks.
Don't like the notion of seeing "Citibank" on a Mets jersey?  Then
accept all of the added advertising breaks.
Here's a sample:  A top German soccer club has Citibank sponsorship:
