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!!!

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
