Ollie vs. Texas

This should be exciting—but probably in an “I hope everyone in the bleachers brought a glove” kind of way.

i think

that will be the first of many home runs for hamilton this weekend

Good point from Ronnie

it looked like he barely touched that ball… and he sent it 380 feet to the opposite field

Wow

I can’t believe the Mets were unable to DL Alou retroactively because they called up Cancel within 10 days of sending him down. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE YOU COULD HAVE CALLED UP???

How about this

6-run lead…I’d like to see Wagner blow this one. THAT would be impressive.

Another decent game for Delgado

1-3, 2B, R, BB, SB

I’m telling you, he’s coming around.

(OK, so it was the back end of a double steal, but people have been thrown out on the back end of double steals before.)

still though, that man bumps and grinds during his on field celebrations

as though he isn’t the anchor dragging this team and its 149 million dollar roster into oblivion.

"the" anchor?

Singular? You’ve got to be kidding.

by JoshNY on Jun 13, 2008 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

well finally

an impressive or at least competent performance.
regarding recent mets catastrophes, it was like being stuck in a theater while the latest indiana jones movie plays on loop. in other words, hellish never ending disappointment.

hooray for the mets

it was nice to see ollie recover from that HR from hamilton.

8 k’s. nice job.

good win for the players, willile and the fans.

that’s a tough lineup for the METS to face and only give up one run. if i’m not mistaken, the RANGERS have the highest combined BA in the MLB.

in respect to Indiana Jones…oy wei…painful

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.
