Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

A Little Help

I'd like to ask that you take two minutes and fill out this survey. We're trying to figure out who reads our SB Nation sites and would appreciate just five minutes of your time. Please help us out if you can; your answers will help us to secure revenue for the network which will keep sites like AA going through the Mets' dynasty. Thank you!

That took about a minute.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot... is me.

the old question about household income is always embarassing for a grad student.

on the flip side: people always ask me about technology!

Me too
I put down the estimated value of my labor, not the actual price paid.

My college pays me (just) enough not to starve to death.

I like this quote:

the cubs site
is hoping to be open for business until the cubbies win the world series. SportsNation made them remove that comment b/c they couldn't promise anything that unrealistic.

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.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
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.
