Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

Not sure how to feel about this one. On the one hand, it's never good to see a family torn apart. On the other hand...it's Steve Phillips, a total douchebag. And he doesn't poison any more baseball broadcasts with his inane rhetoric.

maybe he should hold a press conference with himself

and explain the situation to all his fans.

Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.

was it with Shane Victorino?

or maybe Nate McLouth?

It definitely wasn't Carlos Beltran

A pity that ESPN cancelled Steve's online chat for today.

reposted the earlier thread...

Assuming that ESPN cans Phillips for his latest freakish behavior, should we all chip into pay for other attractive ESPN staffers who will get it on with John Kruk? And Joe Morgan? And Rick Sutcliffe? And Eric Young…?

Steve Phillips

I would love

A video montage similar to the ridiculous one Phillips did about Beltran not being the “perfect player” with a few random misplays of Beltran’s.

Narrator: The problem with Steve Phillips is, for the amount of kids he has, he’s not the perfect father. He makes too many mistakes. Here, you see him with an ex-employee of the Mets. This video, from last year, shows him with an ESPN production assistant.

One down, a lot to go.

it can't be that hard

to get a picture of him licking Jimmy Rollins’ balls. He does it pretty much every day

Yep, that he does.

As a Yankee fan, he always rubbed me as a conniving little weasel --

I guess he was just a stupid-ass little weasel. It’s so ironic that a man with as apparently little foresight with regards to women (and who knows what else) as Phillips was actually hired to plan the future of a Major League Baseball team.

I don't even remember things being this bad...

“Phillips said he was comfortable with the Mets’ starting staff of Al Leiter, Estes, Steve Trachsel, Glendon Rusch and Bruce Chen.”

You know what the worst part is?

I still think I’d prefer him over Omar for GM

Gah

I agree with that statement, too. Damn it all.

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

"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.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
