yesterday's rainout

use the form from yesterday’s rainout

if you already filled that out, then those entries still are in effect

otherwise, hurry up and fill it out…

Game form

Last night’s game form is being applied to tonight’s game. You had to fill it out last night to get it in. This afternoon’s game form was for, well, this afternoon’s game.

you're failing to run out the slow grounder here

This shows a lack of determination, consistency, and hustle.

know your place

We can’t have our bloghouse dynamic poisoned by this kind of 24-plus-1 mentality.

I'm listening on WFAN, so no idea

It did seem like a dicey play and I wouldn’t be shocked if this were the case. Wright is a smart enough baserunner to keep running till he sees the sign, though.

He was out by a mile

The ball got past Griffey, and normally DW would score easily if he was running full tilt all the way. Perhaps he held up between 1st and 2nd thinking it might get caught? (SNY not giving us any replays)

the fibb pays off

fake intentional base on balls

an unlikely pitchers' duel

They say Arroyo is having lots of problems, but the Mets don’t seem to be seeing any.

Mets

just can’t seem to put it all together with any consistency. This has been true all year. This is the most bored I’ve been watching the Mets since the Art Howe era. Anybody else feel this way.

not really

They’re a good team this year—not a great team, though. I’m massively annoyed at the holes in the roster that are keeping the team from steamrolling over the NL, just because all of it should’ve been fixable over the last offseason; we should not be giving starts to players like Pagan and Chavez and Casanova when they could so easily be replaced. But I’m enjoying the team a lot this year despite its weaknesses. I like the starting rotation as well as I’ve liked any Met team’s pitching since we had Leiter and Hampton.

shitbags

Okay, this is less fun ever since the wrong team’s bullpen exploded. Goodnight, and congrats to Keppinger on the game of his career.

by anonymous on May 10, 2008 9:59 PM EDT reply actions  

huh?

what in the world is going on? nobody in our lineup can hit consistently (save, ryan church), our bullpen is similar to a sorority girl on a tuesday, and we just have not gusto….can we get somebody in there to at least fire this team up? we look like a .500 team….

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.

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!
