I *WAS* watching football

Then I found out SNY was broadcasting the first game.

Yay.

I was trying to do that too.

But I decided just to watch the Mets game and stay in here.

by gogomets on Sep 7, 2008 4:05 PM EDT reply actions  

nice win, but

how could you not have a back up kicker who can at least kick an extra point.

by elifriedman on Sep 7, 2008 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah nugent is awful

missed a 32 yarder and a PAT. the guy was amazing at ohio state and now he’s mediocre. weird.

by gogomets on Sep 7, 2008 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

he is mediocre

but he didn’t miss an extra point. He injured himself on a field goal attempt and they went for two on the next td

oh my bad

that’s right. was thinking of a game from yesterday. but yeah, no back up kicker? the punter can’t make a PAT?

by gogomets on Sep 7, 2008 4:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

all kidding aside

what is with the Mets. IT’s ok to lose, but there is no energy there. They have 1 hit against the John McCain of the NL and have not scored yet with Hamels to go. Santana will earn his money. Look for 0-0 through 9

they could use one of carlos zambrano's drinks right now

If Santana pitches well

and the hitters stop counting their money and start swinging the damage will be limited. A 2 game lead tomorrow will seem like a big victory

ah!

so we’ve used 5 RP’s in the 1st game of a double header. santana, better drink your gatorade son.

I've come back.

Just in time too. Well, it looks that way.

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.
