The Rockies should trade for Reyes

How many leadoff triples could he hit in a year in this park?

by anonymous on Jun 22, 2008 3:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Nice

Another leadoff triple.

Eek

Tulo was a little overanxious there. We know you have a cannon, bro.

On second look

That throw almost decapitated Wright.

Reds released Brandon Phillips today

Think we’ll see another in Omar’s series of attempted redemptions of ex-Expos?

by anonymous on Jun 22, 2008 3:17 PM EDT reply actions  

they did what?

He played today an batted fourth. What the fuck

by DoctorK16 on Jun 22, 2008 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

sorry, should've said designated for assignment

In any case he’ll have to pass through waivers unclaimed to make it to the Reds’ minors, which seems unlikely.

Andy Phillips

the ex Yankee. He would be an interesting pickup.

by DoctorK16 on Jun 22, 2008 3:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah

cause I was watching the Yankee game and he played. It happens. Andy Phillips could help us a caddy for Delgado. Of course we could try Tatis in that role when he’s no longer needed for OF duty when Church returns.

by DoctorK16 on Jun 22, 2008 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

too many Phillipses

I think I just saw the headline “Reds cut Phillips” and made an unwarranted assumption. Andy P. is a nice bench player, but probably a better fit for a team that needs infielders rather than the Mets, who really need outfielders. Marlon Anderson or Tatis already do well enough as backup infielders, and I am not sure Andy is a better hitter than them (sad as that sounds). I don’t think Andy will make it through waivers, either, but it’s possible he might.

by anonymous on Jun 22, 2008 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

oh god, Howie, stop with the "managing the inning"

What the hell does it mean to claim that Pelfrey doesn’t know how to “manage an inning”? How is that different from just saying that he doesn’t always pitch well?

Nice display of unclutchness there.

i dont get manuel's easley does it attitude

i know there is widespread, derision of castillo but I am tired of Easley giving away multiple outs, particularly when young pitchers are affected. All things considered, Castillo is far from being one this teams main problems.

Castillo's hurting

Playing Easley today had more to do with Luis’s legs than Manuel’s attitude, I think.

by anonymous on Jun 22, 2008 3:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

hurting or just normally required rest?

i thought this was part of manuels’ play them if they perform thing, pardon me.

I.M. Forme

by itsmetsforme on Jun 22, 2008 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

hurting

he didn’t play friday so he’s rested. Manuel pointed out that Castillo is not moving well at all.

by DoctorK16 on Jun 22, 2008 4:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

don't look now but

the phils just lost and the mets are in the hunt even with their .500-ness. ok, go ahead and look

does clint hurdle have a tee time?

i’d a argued that final catch/trap by beltran in a 3-1 game.

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!
