Around SBN: Kentucky Football: Tee Martin Reportedly Leaving for USC

Sorry!

Many apologies for the lack of new stuff here the last couple of days. I have been:

a) In Cambridge
b) Sick
c) Trying to get our house ready to sell
d) Looking for a new house
e) Positively overwhelmed
f) Hungry

We should be back to the normal quantity and quality of amazin' goodness starting on Monday.

There hasn't been a whole lot going on in Mets' camp, aside from the Duaner Sanchez incident. Sanchez was rightfully chastised for showing up for camp out of shape and with a blasé attitude. He has subsequently apologized for his behavior and has vowed to be ready for action as soon as possible. His timetable still pegs his return for after the start of the season, but Sanchez believes he should be ready to go shortly thereafter.

Eric - you're the man here.
No apologies necessary.  The best aspect of this site is still the in-game chatter, which I know is going to be even better than last year's.
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermous percussion pitch.

Who's #37?
I've gotten a few of my friends involved in a bet on who will be next on your 50 Mets list.  There are currenty 8 guys in the pool worth $160 bucks.

Apology accepted, Duaner

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.
