Can't wait!

Should be a great duel. Hopefully Santana will baffle the young D-Back hitters.

If Johan can keep the D'Backs in the park

then I like his chances. The longball has been his only weakness thus far.

Fight J-Roll the A-Holl!

Unfortunately

Thats always gonna be his weakness, but if we can score it won’t be a problem. In my mind he’s had 1 bad game. He only gave up 1 run on a solo shot in the Atlanta game.

I can see

Santana getting a shutout today. Eat your heart out Yankees

Don't feel so bad

I posted a bulliten on myspace a couple weeks ago, and said the Mets should flat out cut him..lol.

by MAN in the BOX on May 4, 2008 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

there goes the shutout

lucky it’s not tied. Santana does give up the long ball.

and evidently

now throws a lot of wild pitches.

by MAN in the BOX on May 4, 2008 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

cause Schneider couldn’t stop a bull in the dirt with a basket. He has not been a very good defensive catcher so far

Santana

think it’s his last inning?

by MAN in the BOX on May 4, 2008 5:59 PM EDT reply actions  

why baseball sucks

the highest paid pitcher in baseball can only go 6 innings and can’t win the game. We’re moving into a situation where it’s wonderful when a pitcher goes 5 innings. Problem is you need a deep, good bullpen in this day and age and their aren’t enough quality pitdhers around so you have to use Triple A pitchers like Smith. Baseball just aint what it used to be. I’m fed up

What the hell was Burke thinking? I’ll take it though.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

took a perfect throw

to get him, but it was a bad play

Only a single for Beltran leading off the 9th?

No home run? What an asshole. He’s so not clutch.

Marl!

Lets go!

Can we please get a bit of a win streak going here. Two out of three in Arizona is great, but how about a little follow through this week….please….

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.
