So . . . they are meeting with him this week.

What’s the problem?

they "had no plans".

at this point, they should be talking to every player available.

jeez.

I miss Joe Smith

Though his extremely plain name isn’t as good as the ethnically charged J.J. Putz, his continued good pitching out of the bullpen is always a nice thing. Those seven years he’s got on Putz, and the millions of dollars less that he makes also give Joe a plus. He’s the only one I really didn’t like (and Carp, to a degree) in the Putz trade (figuring, of course, that Putz wasn’t injured).

Jeff Innis?

You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

I miss him and his terribleness

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

But they're going to meet with him.

They had no plans but then they changed plans and will meet with him.

I guess I just don’t get the outrage where they’re doing something you want them to do.

no outrage,

mostly sarcasm that initially, they had no plans, and then they changed their mind.

the end result is good. the initial approach is bad.

by fxcarden on Oct 22, 2009 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Shouldn't...

the success of El Duque and Livan Hernandez with the team cause Cuban defectors to flock to the team? It worked with Pedro, right Omar? Lol.

It’s bad to have a sarcastic first post, but given the Mets’ seasons from 2007 to now, it’s hard not to be somewhat warped, passive-aggressive, and other not-so-wholesome emotions.

With regards to Chapman,

I think he will be really good, but there are better ways the Mets can use the money. He’s a good plan B, but I’d rather the money go to Lackey or Holliday. Chapman just isn’t a sure thing right now.

by johnmac7512 on Oct 23, 2009 10:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Chapman would not be starting on the team that signs him

He’s still very raw and needs time in the minors, at least one year. I would love to sign Holliday and Chapman this off season, it would boost the big club and the farm for us.

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.
