Angus!

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

I almost went with this picture

It gets an A+ in the chest hair department, but I thought it might be too sexy for the front page.

well, the schoolboy outfit is definitely the classic Angus Young look

But I like this photo even if just for the lighting pattern in the background.

It’s amazing how small a guy he actually is—the Gibson SG he is playing is not a big guitar at all, but it looks huge on him.

Love AC/DC

The Bon Fire box set is my all time favorite.

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

Kim's phone plays AC/DC when she gets a new text/voice message

When I’m home I send her needless text messages just to hear it blow up.

My wife’s plays Hells Bells, but when I call it’s Down with the Sickness by distured so when I call her it normally scares the crap out of her when it goes off.

that is indeed a good set

Bon was a true rock’n’roller.

Tatis

Don’t look now, but Tatis is putting together a borderline-useful season. Who knows how long this hot streak of his will last, but the longer, the better.

Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!

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!
