Agreed

Goose seems like he still wants to play. Maybe he should be a man and say it to Jose’s face rather than througfh the media.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Yeah

Knock a guy who shows some emotion and has fun playing a game and keeps his teammates excited. It doesn’t make sense Goose. Reyes tried to be that boring player in the beginning of the year, but that’s not who he is, and he shouldn’t let a relief pitcher tell him how he should play. Goose doesn’t realize some people are different, and that is good, it balances out the boring non-emotional players.

Goose, shut the hell up!

First he’s giving Joba a hard time, now it’s Reyes? Maybe he’s got a thing against New York. I’m so sick and tired of all these old farts talking about how players are playing / celebrating the game. Sure, baseball is steeped in tradition but every now and then baseball needs an injection of change. All civilizations that failed to embrace change were doomed. No one wants to see baseball continue to be its staid old self. The game is beautiful as it is and if the players want to celebrate, by God let em!

My Greatest Fear

is turing into a bitter, boring old man whining about how kids today don’t measure up.

He says the same shit every two weeks and each time he acts like he’s blowing our minds. I’m sure he fancies himself a prophet screaming into the wilderness.

"[Reyes is] not the first great player to play - I wouldn't even say great because he hasn't won anything yet."

Ted Williams was also not great because of his lack of a World Series ring. Not even fit to hold Luis Sojo’s jock strap, let me tell you.

Amen

Goose is a moran and I am sick of people telling Reyes not to do his thing. That is what messes him up in my view trying to change his style to suit others rather then just being himself.

Great pitcher

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.
