Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Games 2 & 3 of the Giants/Mets Series

Two great games.

Star-divide

I also went to both of these games.  Yesterday's game was fantastic, three doubles in a row.  What a way to start off the game.  Not a lot of Mets fans in my section.  Giants fans hate Lo Duca and Green, mainly because they were "Dodger scum" (as they put it).

I wanted to point out to them that Bengie Molina was on the Angels when they beat the Giants in the 2002 World Series, but I guess that only applies to any team that aren't the Giants.

When Bonds hit the home run, everyone went ape shit.  Like they had just taken the lead, or won the 2007 World Series.  Then they announced that everyone gets a button because Barry Bonds hit a home run.  HOOR-who fucking cares.  That's all they care about.  He didn't tie the game or anything.

Today's game was great.  As soon as Armadno Bentiez got all pissed that Eliezer Alfonzo came to the mound to see what the hell was going on, I knew we would win the game.

The only thing that Giants fans seem to be able to say when they lose a game is, "BEAT LA!"

Because when you think about it, that's all they really have.

Yeah but I saw this one guy catch a foul ball
while wearing a Steal Your Giants shirt, which I thought was pretty cool.  Are they still selling the tie-died baseballs there?

I don't think so.
But at the first game I did see a guy wearing one of those old Greatful Dead/Giants shirts.  I did see a bunch of people wearing this insanely stupid hats.  They were reverse orange mohawks, and the middle was black and on the front they had the "SF".

Ugh.

EAMUS METROPOLI.

Well thanks for the diaries, pingel.
I for one always appreciate hearing about stadiums and environments around the league.  I'm sure I'll be posting something about Coors Field later in the summer.

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

"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.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
