Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

Says if he has surgery or not, he'll be ready for opening day. Of course with this medical staff, I wouldn't be surprised if they amputate his legs.

That thing about him being ready for ST came from his agent

so I’d take it with a large grain of salt.

I’ll be convinced when it is May 13, 2010, and Jose is still playing like Jose.

ready is one thing

but what will he bring to the table when he comes back… where will his speed, range, and durability be? I hope he’s back to his old self, but I’m worried at what losing a year of playing time and 2 serious leg injuries will do to him. Maybe its just the Mets fan in me worrying but i’ll remain cautiously optimistic at best.

Maybe if all Met fans

lower their expectations for Reyes from “God” to simply “Great Baseball Player” we will all be pleasantly surprised!

he has never been a God to me.

The only Mets God I’ve ever seen wore number 41. End of story.

that's almost blasphemy to mention them in the same thought

intresting note, I think he’s on either Blueshirt Banter or Gang Green Nation as BNTHIS. He was shot down there too

Phew

I thought he might not be back for several months next year, and might be ineffective when he did. Jose just completely erased those worries.

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.
