Any chance we could trade for Disco?

this might be the best sentence ever written

"[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

i really don't know why we care if players know the latest statistics

as long as they’re good at baseball, i could care less whether or not they know statistics

It's nice to know that these guys are into it.

These are the next Joe Morgans, John Kruks, etc. It’s nice to know that i the future we won’t have to listen to people with low intelligence of Joe Morgan John Kruk, etc. Even going to further than that, a lot of these players will still be in baseball in the future as managers, scouts, or coaches, I’d rather have Disco than Jerry or Warthen. And also, there are so many times guys who played three games in high school talk about stat guys who never played so they don’t know how to scout talent, when a Cy Young winner like Greinke says he looks at FIP, it, for lack of a better term, legitimatizes advanced stats for the general fan.

"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."

this guy is not the next Joe Morgan

He concetrates on advanced stats.

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!
