Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Phillies in 5 Applesauce - Rollins makes another prediction, Figgins price tag, sex for WS tickets

Sorry this is so late. Having computer and law-school related issues. Enjoy. 

Star-divide

Meet the Mets

Blue and Orange puts compares the 2007 & 2008 Mets with the division champion Phillies from those years. Just in case you wanted to start banging your head against a wall again.

If you were wondering, it would probably cost the Mets $50 million for 5 years to get Chone Figgins.

Around the NL East

Leave it to Jimmy Rollins to make predictions

The Philadelphia Daily News has declared the Phillies to be world champions. Good, does that mean I don't have to watch now?

At least Phillie fans REALLY want to go to the World Series games.

The one area where the Yankees will have a huge advantage: left handed pitching against the Phillie lineup.

The Marlins have named Randy St. Claire as their new pitching coach.

Around MLB

Too bad I don't speak Spanish, because Ozzie Guillen as a broadcaster sounds amazing.

The Yankees have added Brian Bruney and Eric Hinske to their roster and have sent Freddy Guzman and Francisco Cervilli down.

Houston's new manager: Boston bench coach Brad Mills.

Yeah, not much going on...

What kind of person would actually answer an add for sex with a 43-year-old grad student with kids, in exchange for World Series tickets. Asides for, maybe, Steve Phillips? Ugh…

Let me rephrase:

What kind of person would actually answer an add for sex with a 43-year-old grad student with kids, in exchange for World Series tickets, without intent to arrest said individual?

Yeah the cops

Answered the thing to give her a summons.

Lets see……..if I had a tcket and a Phillie fan wanted the tickets that bad what would I do?

I guess I would start by asking her if she has ever seen the “two girls and on cup” Youtube.

Right

I’d rather keep the tickets.

That's awesome

People really are crazy. Seriously? Sex for World Series tickets? I wonder what kind of fan would really give up World Series tickets for sex with a 43-year-old woman. And, how hot would she have to be for you to think about parting with the tickets? 23?

The whole thing is crazy. Also, check out some great Mets Memorabilia from my client, Steiner Sports. Or you could continue surfing the net for 43-year-old grad students.

wow

this was really well disguised spam

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!
