Just when you thought Victorino had it all but wrapped up...

There's a Manfred Mann joke in there somewhere

by Eric Simon on Oct 27, 2009 3:25 PM EDT reply actions

I don't begrudge the guy

What’s he supposed to say? We’re going to get our asses handed to us? Victorino is still ahead in that category.

Many of us remember

when Benny Agbayani made a similar prediction.

by Eric Simon on Oct 27, 2009 3:39 PM EDT up reply actions

he was half right

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

He never got in the major trouble that Jeter alluded to, did he?

and who wants to bet Rollins gets MVP for being the leader of the team with his bold predictions.

Wow

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

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!
