Does it really matter what the Dodgers doctors thought?

The Mets doctors had examined him before he played in those rehab games in St. Lucie in which he aggravated the injury. It wasn’t the Dodger doctors that gave him the go-ahead to play again.

But

why were the Mets only calling it a calf injury when a hamstring tendon tear had already been discovered? And why was Jeff Wilpon trying to shift blame to the Dodgers?

The most important question for me is:

Why was he playing once the Mets knew the extent of his injury?

He hurt himself in a rehab game two weeks later, he played more rehab games in early august.

The Mets then had him attempting to run the bases in the last week of the season. While he didn’t play an ML game, this is what I was referring to.

sounds like another lie told to us by the Wilpons

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

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.
