Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

A Reyes Affair

Another awesome start by Mike Pelfrey. Five strikeouts (two of Albert Pujols) and no walks. His 6-to-9 groundball-to-flyball ratio is a little perplexing, but everything else was primo. Carlos Delgado continues his tear, and Argenis Reyes showing Jose how it's done.

Good God Lou

You had almost 3 times as many posts as Ian? Is that a typo?

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

I was working

Or I would have contributed my normal 3-5 comments.

hey, they finally won when I watched

OK, so I hit the mute button and closed my eyes for a bit in the 9th inning, but I saw the rest of the game (and I saw Pujols ground out to end it). So they’re now 1-3 since the break when I watch, and 4-0 when I don’t. Hopefully, it will be 2-3 after tonight, as I’ll be at Shea (and hopefully they’ll improve to 3-3 when I’m in attendance at Shea).

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.
