AAOP: Just get Pujols

Just get Pujols.  And Utley, Mauer, Crawford, Holliday, Halladay, and Lincecum.  And Cliff Lee.

Just get them, and then we can win the World Series!

Also known as the Yankees 2009 Plan

I like it

But where's the grission?

Ya gotta have grission…

Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the street: wheredotheygo?!?!?

we'll just spray their jerseys down with dirt before each game

although we’d have to be careful not to get caught using GES (grission enhancing substances). Although i suppose suspensions are gritty too…

Like getting splashed in the face with a beer by a Cubs fan?

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

again, a fan was nice enough to donate his beer to victorino because he thought he looked thirsty

if victorino really deserved that gold glove he would have caught it and then had a nice beverage to enjoy as he played. Instead he got all pissed off at the kind gesture.. .what a jerk.

If we had all these guys we'd still lose

They would trust each other too much to do well, then they’d slack off.

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

They'd be so good, they'd get bored, sometimes...

the cahmpagne would be too sweet

and they wouldn’t win after clinching the division because of it

And then, of course, there is also Dock Ellis...

hmm, as a purely frivolous excercise...

what do you think omar would have to offer the cards to get pujols? what would make the cards go, “absolutely nahhhh… well, fuck. hang on a second.”

by Pack Bringley on Nov 19, 2009 1:46 AM EST reply actions  

Nothing, I don't think.

I mean, you know how David Wright is untouchable in our organization (with the exception of the “break up the core, David Right isn’t clutch” people)…Pujols is that, but so, so, so much better.

But, then again, the Rangers traded A-Rod for Soriano and Árias, so maybe a package for Pujols wouldn’t be all that mind-boggling. A-Rod isn’t, dare I say, in Pujols’ league, though, so…

It would take

the rights to the Buffalo Bisons AND Binghamton Mets, plus Wright, Beltran and K-Rod.

by CharlieH on Nov 19, 2009 10:11 AM EST up reply actions  

Heh, I was thinking that too; it'd take the rights to the entire New York Mets franchise.

But, then I thought: Do the Cardinals really want the Mets right now?

I would say then when he was still at short-stop

He was on Pujol’s level, and not only did they trade him they still payed part of his contract.

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.

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!
