The Annual Prediction Poll: Results

by peeder on Oct 1, 2006 6:20 PM EDT

Whew! What a season! The Mets came out strong and were one first-week game away from claiming the NL East championship wire-to-wire!

Turns out that the Annual Prediction Poll this year was a bit pessimistic compared to the results. Most of you chose 90-94 wins, including myself. While a copycat poll was posted on the front page after the season began, people were still voting in it when the Mets had already leapt out to a huge lead, so it doesn't count.

What a wonderful thing to have been pessimistic in this way! Lets go Mets, make the postseason one for the ages!!!

I picked over 100

I think, so I'm slightly disappointed, but I'm pretty sure I can manage.

Mr Koufax, don't you think Flanders is a big jerk?

OK

after actually looking at the poll, I think I picked 100-104.

And I was way off about Pedro not being as fragile as he was made out to be.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college.

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
